Meanwhile at the Fellowship of the Sun camp Jason joins Sarah and other members in counseling session.
A woman with bites all over her body starts, "He used me up. Till he got bored. And then he left me to die. I thought he loved me, but I was nothing, but his living breathing snack machine."
"Thank you for sharing your story, Missy That was very brave." Sarah touch Missy's hand, she continued. "May his holy light shine on you."
"Praise the Light." The members said in unison.
Sarah asked, "Jason. Was there something you'd like to share?"
"No, thank you. I ain't really the sharing type."
"We all vowed to be honest, Jason and I see you're wearing the honesty ring."
Sarah said.
"Yeah, but you're not going to like what I have to say. It pretty much goes against everything you all been saying."
"You're safe here." Sarah said.
Jason sighed," Vampire's ain't really ever done nothing bad to me, my sisters' even dating one. And from what I can tell he treats her alright, besides the biting, but I don't think she minds that."
"Huh." A man grunted in disapproval.
"What?" Jason asked.
"No, go on Jason." Sarah told him.
"My Gran was killed by my beat friend just because he had a problem with vampires. Because of my addiction to V, I killed my friends' mother. I thought God wanted me to be here. Thought maybe he had a purpose for me, or some shit like that.
ason leaves the room, realizing that was just wishful thinking. "No, Jason Wait." Sarah goes after him leaving Becky in charge. "Hey, Jason. Just talk to me. Sarah said" "There ain't nothing to talk about." Jason shouted back.
"When I first laid eyes on you, I knew there was something special about this one. The Lord sent you to me for a reason, but until today I didn't know what that reason was and now I do. " Sarah said.
"What reason is that?" Jason asked.
"Because we have a lot in common." Sarah said.
Jason looked at her intently, "Like what?"
"I've lost people too. When Vampires came out of the coffin I went with my sister Amber to march for their equal rights. Then months later she disappeared got hooked on V. I know in my heart they killed her, got rid of her body in whatever way they do." Sarah told him.
Jason looked down. "I'm sorry."
"..But have you ever killed anybody?" Jason asked.
"What?" Sarah asked.
"Have you ever KILLED anybody? Because I have. We got that in common too?"
"Jason." Sarah said.
" That wasn't your fault, that vampire she-devil seduced you."
"I went to that club looking for a fix and got it, nobody forced me to do it. No one made me get behind the wheel and run over Ms. Lettie. I did that! That makes me no better then the Vampires that killed your sister." Jason looked away from Sarah and back at the ground. He continued, "And I need to pay for it." Jason walked off.
At the Vampire's Tribunal's, in a darkened warehouse with black trailers lined behind him, Bill explained to the Magister the events that lead to Longshadows' death. "He would have killed her if I hadn't intervened, Magister."
The Magister finally spoke, "So you murdered a high life form for the sake of your pet. You broke an ancient and fundamental law. You decreased our numbers at a critical time in our history. That was very bad.
"Magister, Longshadow broke the law first she was mine and he knew it. He would have killed and fed from her." Bill defended.
"Irrelevant, happens everyday. Pick another human." Magister said.
"He was stealing from Eric." Bill said.
The Magister turned to Eric, "Is that true?"
Eric responded, "Yes, Magister it's true. Longshadow was a thief and a liar. He was hurting my business."
"Well business is important. That is a serious offense." Magister said.
"And it is for that reason that she was there in the first place. The human exposed Longshadow. Would you tell him?" Bill looked to Eric.
"The girl was there because I called her, she is..valuable." Eric said.
"Humans exist to serve us. That is their value. Wouldn't you agree, Bill?"
"There are those among us who think differently." Bill said.
"Are you questioning my authority? I am the Magister. I am the adjudicator for every vampire territory in North America. As the humans say, the humans you love more than your own kind."
"Now, the usual sentence is five years in a coffin chained with silver. Over time your body will waste to leather and sticks. You would possibly go insane. Lucky for you.. I'm feeling..creative. Luisa." Magister called to his minion who dragged a human from one of the trailers and placed her in front of Bill.
He looked to the Magister, "If you want to torture anyone, torture me."
"Torture? This is nothing, compared to what I could do to you. Would you like me to show you?" Magister asked.
"No, no, I was wrong to speak." Bill said.
"Humans are quite..primitive..incapable of feeling pain as we do." Magister said.
The girl began to cry, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want...I can't remember the rest."
"Our records show, you've never been a Maker, is that right?" Magister asked Bill.
"Yes. Bill replied.
"But you know the procedure?"
Again Bill replied, "Yes."
"Then Proceed." Magister said.
Bill sat next to the girl, "What's your name?" he asked.
"Jessica." she told him.
"Are you a Christian?" Jessica asked.
Bill responded, "I was." he took her hand, but then Magister interrupted.
"Sorry, but glamour is not permitted." Said the Magister.
"She's just a girl!" Bill said.
"You're boring me. Now stop stalling and do as you were told." Magister demanded.
Bill hesitates his eyes sorrowful, fangs extended. "Forgive me." Bill said as Jessica continued to plead, "No, no, please no."
She cried louder, "No." as he bit her.
