CHAPTER 3

Gangrel's eyes widened. Slayers. He had seen them before. The last time he had seen slayers is when Edge had left him. His mind began to wander.

PAST

Gangrel and Edge sat side by side having a conversation about the difference between of liking blood and actually being a vampire. Edge laughed when Gangrel poked him in the nose and began tickling him. They fell to the ground, smiling and laughing. Gangrel pinned Edge to the grass and kissed him passionately. All of a sudden, Edge felt Gangrel being pulled from him. He watched as Gangrel was thrown aside. Edge screamed for his lover, but to no avail. The slayers went after Gangrel and had almost staked him, but Edge walked up and agreed to join them. The slayers were content and Edge left without looking back.

PRESENT

Gangrel was snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of Tim's voice.

" Gangrel! Follow Ana to the shelter!"

Gangrel nodded and looked to the dumpster.

" Edge! Christian! Lets go!"

The Brood and Ana ran to the shelter on the far side of the club called the Dansina. Tim was close behind. They ran in and shut the door behind them. Gangrel noticed that Edge was facing the window, watching the feet of the slayers go by. Gangrel walked up behind and placed a hand on his shoulder. Edge slowly turned around and Gangrel noticed that there were tears streaming down Edge's face. Edge looked into his sire's eyes.

" I remember the day when I left you. Right when I saw the slayers, I remembered."

Gangrel pulled Edge into his arms.

" I remembered it as well Edge. That will not happen again. I promise. You will not be forced to leave me again."

Christian approached his brother and his sire.

" Gangrel, Tim says he needs to talk to you."

Gangrel nodded and went to talk to Tim. Christian looked at Edge.

" Edge, are you okay?"

Edge nodded and pulled Christian to him. Edge's mind started to drift back again.

PAST {after joining the brood}

Gangrel and Edge sat in the living room in front of the fireplace. Gangrel looked at Edge.

" Are you happy being here with me?"

Edge smiled, showing his newly obtained fangs.

" Yes. I have never been happier."

Gangrel pulled him into a kiss. Gangrel knew that Edge was feeling strange about what other people would think of this. After it ended, Gangrel leaned in next to Edge's ear.

" They will understand. Understanding is just a matter of time. The power lies within us and it is up to us to find it. We are who we are: The Unholy Trio and we will become, what we will become. For those who believe will follow. For those that don't will merely exist," Gangrel whispered.

PRESENT

Edge looked over at Gangrel. He knew that The Brood would spend their eternity together and they would never abandon or leave one another. Edge smiled and looked down at Christian who had fallen asleep. All would be okay with them.
