Chapter 20
A/N: Okay guys, this is it! Last chapter. Thank you so much to everyone who have supported me throughout this story.
Shiloh had decided to grab a quick meal with Christopher and by quick meal I mean some late night joggers. It seemed that whenever turmoil was in her life, she always found peace in killing. They walked back to the house, slowly trekking down the street. "I'm a terrible person" she said with her head hung. "Stop that, its not your fault" Christopher stood in front of her with both hands on her shoulders.
"If he won't listen to you, he's not worth it" he said, his face stern. "But he is worth it Chris..I love him" she exhaled and walked around him. He turned and caught up with her "Then why are you running from him?" he said irritated girls are so complicated no matter how old he thought. "He doesn't want me anymore because he thinks I'm just a stupid girl who acts on impulse" she seethed.
She wished she hadn't killed that bitch in the first place but she was angry and acted on impulse. When she opened the door to the house there happened to be a mix of humans and vampires. Godric was sitting in his chair and people were in line to see him. Figures thought Christopher. He went straight to the bedroom. Shiloh stood in the doorway "Well if it isnt the lovely Shiloh" came a sickenly sweet southern drawl. Shiloh looked to her right to see a young woman who looked to be in her early thirties with dark brown hair "I have heard so many things about you dear" Shiloh furrowed her brows and smiled in confusion "I can't imagine who at the moment" she let out a short laugh. "Oh no one from here" Shilohs face went blank "Huh?" she asked not sure if she heard her correctly. "My name I Lorena" the woman said completely ignoring her. "Hello Lorena" Shiloh said "I'm here to visit my progeny Bill" she smirked. "I didn't think the rumors were true...Godric having a new little roommate I mean".
There was something about Lorena that made her feel on edge but she figured it was nothing she had more important things at hand. She didnt have to cut the conversation short however because Lorena was across the room talking to Bill and Sookie, things did not look good.
Godric intervened and Lorena started to walk towards the door but stopped next to Shiloh "Such a pleasure to meet you finally" she smirked at her and was gone. Godric looked at her but turned away to say something to Bill and sat back down. Shiloh walked toward the sitting man when she was stopped again by Eric "Out of my way Swede" she said irritated. "He doesnt want to see you right now" he looked down at her seriously. "Thats unfortunate" she went to walk around him when her someone yelled "I HAVE A MESSAGE FROM STEVE NEWLIN". Now what she thought extremely agitated before she could completely turn around the was a flash and a loud bang and before she knew it she was on the floor with a large pain her in abdomen.
A few minutes had passed andGodric was at her side "Oh my spatzi look what you have gotten yourself into" he rubbed her cheek. "Godric…" she coughed out blood. Isabel was there in a flash checking Godric and then turning to her, she pulled out the piece of whatever it was that was lodged inside of her. She laid there for a few seconds, Godric had moved her head to his lap. "I'm sorry" she said weakly. He looked down at her "I'm sorry too love" he smiled and kissed her temple. Christopher came to her side "ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" he asked distressed. "I'm fine Chris thanks to Isabel, go help people who need it" she smiled. He got up and went to help someone. She sat up facing Godric "Godric I lo-" "Godric come quickly its Lana!" Isabel called to him. He looked at her apologetically, she nodded. Getting up she could still feel some of her insides were not fully healed so she walked outside to get some space.
There she was met by a surprised Jerry. "You're back so soon" she said weakly "did you miss me that much?". He smirked but it soon vanished "What happened?" "someone blew up the house" she said. "Anyone die?" he asked almost in an amused tone. She let out a short laugh "I walked straight out after I healed so I dont know". Jerry nodded understandingly, but a thought crossed Shiloh "What are you doing here? I thought you had to report back to Nan". He smiled but the smile didnt go to his eyes "You really don't remember me do you?".
She looked at him with surprise "No? What are you talking about? I just met you" she said. "Think back around maybe 1413 or so" he said starting to circle around her. "A young woman or what appeared to be as a young woman was going to leave her home of 70 years in France, on a boat, this boat was never on record in the history books but thats irrelevant. The girl had met someone much like her, in fact exactly like her". Her head was starting to hurt.
"After a few months or so the ship found land to which is now present day Pointe a La Hache. The group decide to move north west and settle there." Shiloh sank to her knees clutching her head. "I...remember".
~FLASHBACK~
Shiloh was sitting on a mossy log playing with the lace on one of her sleeves when Jared came to her side. "How could you not tell me this until now?" she asked in a harsh whisper. Jared looked to be hurt but only for a second "He wants to see you, our maker, his name if you don't remember-" "He never told me!" she shrieked. "Anthony" he said in a low murmur.
"Excuse me?" she said in a shocked tone "His name..is Anthony." he said. "WHY? Why does he want to see me!? If he really wanted to see me then he wouldn't have abandoned me!" she began to cry. He kneeled in front of her kissing her hands "My sweet, I don't know" he lifted her chin up, Shilohs eyes wide with surprise.
"He has told me...he will be here in three weeks time" her eyes widened even more if possible. "I'm not ready..I dont even know if I want to see him. He's a monster" she whispered the last part. Jared stood and sighed "It's almost time to go to ground Shiloh dear" she stood wiping her tears away. She nodded "I'll be there in a minute". He looked at her for a few seconds and brought her into a hug.
Jared left in a flash. "Or many a few hundred years" Shiloh growled. She walked off into the opposite direction where she found a suitable place to be her place of rest for the next few millenniums.
~END FLASHBACK~
" I looked for you the next day and I couldn't find you" Jerry said. "Needless to say when our father had arrived he was not too pleased with your absence, he couldn't feel you because you were sleeping" she shot up "How could he feel me in the first place? He released me long before that!". Or so you think she could already hear it clear as day in the way he was looking at her. "Ever since that day it was my duty to find you, until finally a few months ago Anthony had called me, he sounded happy which was rare he told me he could feel your presence.
I was given your locations for everywhere you moved and I followed you, working with Nan Flanagan was just a bonus to my real mission" he finished. They stood in silence. "Now what? We both know I'm not going with you" she said irritated. He smirked "I figured that much". There was a sudden burn around her neck and the ground was knocked from beneath her. "Its nice to see you again Shiloh" poor Shiloh tried to yell for help but the words were squeezed out of her by the chain. Looking up she matched the voice with the figure strangling her Lorena. She began to kick and claw at the air because she couldn't exactly yell for help.
Jerry grabbed her hands and held them together with one hand. "Calm down" he warned, Shiloh relaxed at his threatening gaze. Lorena dragged her to the back of Jerry's truck and there was a coffin. "The door is laced with silver so I wouldn't suggest trying to push it open. She was thrown in and before she could get up the top was sealed on her. This isn't good, not good at all. "LET ME OUT" she screamed and began to wiggle around. She was beginning to feel tired, day must have been coming soon, how far were they going anyway?
Things faded to black. She woke up chained to a comfy bed with silk sheets. She couldn't move her feet or her legs. Huffing she looked at her surroundings. Eyes widening, realization hit her like a ton of bricks "JERRY" she yelled. "THIS ISNT FUNNY, I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME" the door across from her to the left opened. In walked Jerry who had his wolfish grin on "Morning honey". "Jerry" she began desperately "Please let me go please" he walked over standing next to the bed, he leaned in to kiss her on the head. When he withdrew he cupped her face in his hand. He smiled and shook his head backing away from the bed. The door opened please no I'm not ready to see him she began to writhe under her restraints but in walked another familiar face, Franklin. "Hello Miss". She wanted to spit in his face but being the proper lady she was she just shrunk in the bed while the other was advancing towards her. She looked over at Jerry, who had a deep frown on his face "What are you doing here?" he growled. "Anthony was losing faith in you when you hadnt caught her soon after he sensed her so he decided to bring someone who was better at tracking, in to do the job".
They began to bicker, she was so confused. Franklin wasn't working for the king, Jerry wasn't working for Flanagan. Both working for her maker, she was curious though. "Hey.." both men didn't seem to hear her continuing their bicker "HEEEEEEY" she shouted. They both turned to her "Are you my makers progeny too?" she asked Franklin who smiled slyly. "No, my maker and he were brothers, so I guess you could say we are cousins" he chuckled benevolently.
The two shared a look and Franklin looked back down "Its time to take our leave" and he was out the door. Jerry stood there about to do the same "Wait Jared.." she said quietly, he looked down at her "Please don't leave, I don't want to be alone with him". Shiloh hated to admit but she did feel safe with Jerry in the room, I guess you could say there were ex lovers but that was pushed to the way back abyss of her mind. He looked at the door but decided to sit in the chair next to the bed. They sat in silence "He should be here around midnight" he talked in a casual tone. "What time is it now?" she asked just as casually "11:30".
"And Exactly, what does he want? I mean what could he have wanted 600 years ago that he still wants now?" she could feel herself getting irritated. He looked down at her, she couldn't tell what he was thinking. "You'll find out" he sighed and stood walking towards the door, opening it. There he was, Shilohs maker Anthony.
~Back at Godric's~
Christopher was helping some girl who was human heal the gash in her leg. Sitting with her in his lap, she was sucking greedily at his wrist. Forcing his arm away he stood, the girl rolling on the floor giggling. He looked at her, sighing and shaking his head. Humans really are- "Pitiful" he jumped upon hearing the husky voice in his ear. Christopher turned to be face to face with Eric Northman who smirked smugly. "You're her new child?" Eric deadpanned. Christopher blinked, "By 'her' do you mean Shiloh?" he asked becoming flustered. "Yeah" Eric smirked noticing the boys discomfort.
Christopher looked up and down him, he was stained with blood. He knew his stare was lingering, what the hell is wrong with me?! Why am I checking him out? He's a dude! Okay calm down Chris just calm down lets try to get this guy out of here. "I think Godric's looking for you" he laughed a little too unconvincingly. The viking quirked an eyebrow "If he needed me he would have called on me" he said. "Oh, well uh I'm going to go find Shiloh" he started to back away about to turn around when he bumped into someone, who was of course Eric. "Or you could come with me" he said with a blank stare.
"W-what?!" his voice cracked to his dismay. "I'm going to show you what its like to be a real vampire" he smirked. Meanwhile Godric had finished helping some other vampires when he decided to go back for Shiloh, she told him she would be outside. He walked outside only to be met with an empty front yard. Thinking she might be nearby he decided to call to her. "Shiloh?" he said looking around. Something was up, he couldn't sense her at all. Pulling out his phone he tried her cell.
Shiloh couldn't believe what she was seeing. It was her maker, he was standing there staring at her with an expression she couldn't decide was good or bad. He was fairly muscular, his head shaven bald, tribal tattoos on his head and neck. "Mikrí̱ mou Shiloh, póso kairó to échei?(My little Shiloh, how long has it been?)" he barked in mock laughter. She replied with a spat "Den eínai arketó kairó!(Not long enough!) she started to move around in her chains again but it was no use. He frowned, switching to english he walked towards the bed "You didn't miss daddy?". "Like hell I did! And how in the world could you still feel me if you released me?" she clenched her jaw. "Its simple, I did not release you, I only made it seem that way" he leaned in, she froze nervous of what was going to happen, he exposed his neck in front of her mouth.
No. She knew exactly what he was doing. If Shiloh consumed his blood, it would be like a sweet high she wouldn't want to get down from. "Please...no..I cant-" "As your maker I command you to drink it". Before she knew what was going on she was leaning in no no NO. Fangs popping out, they clung to Anthonys neck, the sweet taste of her master was overwhelming all of her senses. She soon let go and relaxed onto the bed, feeling hazy she turned her head to him "...bastard" he took off her restraints, she tried to move but her limbs were a thousand pounds. He climbed onto the bed, straddling her. "I have to confess I did partially release you but after this you will be mine completely once again".
She wanted to cry, but she felt so good, then her phone began to ring. Knowing the ringtone, it was Godric. He had called at least 4,000 times. Shiloh wondered why Jerry didn't just turn it off. Looking up she saw aggravation on her makers face. Getting up he retrieved the phone answering it.
~Back to Godric~ He had been calling her phone non stop since the minute he couldnt feel her presence. Godric hadn't seen Christopher or Eric anywhere, so he was by himself for the time being. Finally after what felt like an eternity the line picked up. "Who is this?" came the deep accented voice. Freezing, Godric felt anger boil inside of him. "Where is Shiloh?" he demanded. "...Shes busy" the phone went dead. Snapping the phone in half Godric let out a yell of anger.
Shilohs head was spinning, tossing it from left to right. She groaned in bliss, Anthony was pacing the bedroom "I'm going to explain although I doubt you can understand what's happening right now, it won't matter soon anyways, you will not remember a thing. What I'm going to do it not a very common practice but it will in fact work, I'm going to erase your memory, to about 15 years after I made you" he looked down at her dark eyes, he cupped her cheek "I want to make it up to you". Moving the hair from her shoulder he looked down at the white exposed neck. "Welcome to the beginning of tomorrow my little porcelain princess." He bit into her neck, Shiloh's world faded to black.
