Thanks to Hannah Kelfrod and Sanctuaria.
NOTE: The basic plot has been changed... since it's almost July... it's her birthday and not Christmas... apart from that, this is the end chapter!
Her Sanctuary
She walked into the room. The first the thing she noticed was that everyone was standing in a straight line. The second thing she noticed was three paper parcels. Her eyes widened.
"Happy Birthday Magnus," Will said it first.
She smiled. "I can't believe it. All this time you were acting so strangely and never let me go in that room - you were doing this?"
"Not all of us, I still have no idea what they were doing." Kate explained.
As it turned out, the Big Guy's present was a new syringe.
Nikola almost laughed when he saw her eyes light up at the syringe. But he didn't laugh.
Then came their present. Helen slid away the wrapping, and found herself staring at the printed words 'THE SANCTUARY DICTIONARY'. She grinned, and opened it up to a random page. As it turned out, the definition which leapt out her was this: 'Scientist - a rather pretty and smart woman who wears a lab coat and teases her friends'. She pursed her lips at Nikola - she knew exactly who had written that definition. But she couldn't stop herself from smiling.
Another definition caught her attention. 'Scandalous - What a certain vampire who really needs to learn when to stop is.' She rolled her eyes but still kept smiling as she flicked through the pages. One of them was from Henry. It made her smile more.
She could see Will looking over her shoulder. Then she saw him arguing with them. She guessed these probably hadn't been supposed to make it through. "It's alright Will."
Kate's present was a pretty necklace. She put it around her neck, and saw both Nikola and John looking at her. Nikola's eyes were directed a little lower than where the necklace hung.
She looked at him and rolled her eyes. He grinned. John started to frown at Nikola. She just smiled more.
It was her Sanctuary. Her people. Her friends. Her job. Her Nikola. Her John. It really wasn't fair that she laughed so much at them. She smiled at both of them. There should be some elegant way to put it - but there wasn't. She was just happy because of everyone right now.
Happy Birthday, indeed.
So... I'm not quite so sure about that ending... But I hope you've enjoyed reading and please tell me what you thought!
Thanks,
