Leaving her by herself the first day in a new city was not exactly what I had in mind but from the moment that we arrived I knew that I had to go. Their presence was so strong here it was pulling at me. It was all I could do to stay with her as long as I had. She went shopping so I think that she might be healing. Going out to do those normal things. I love her so much that I worry constantly. She is stronger now so I suppose that I don't have to baby her, she did take care of herself for years before I found her. Though I still don't know how her slayer strength changed over her transformation.
That isn't really on my mind right now. I stepped outside and took to the air, I landed outside of a house almost instantaneously. This is where I felt them, or most of them, I could feel them inside. I walked up a huge flight of steps until I reached the door, and then I did something I hadn't done for a long while. I knocked. I stood outside and I knocked.
The door was opened slowly at first, then when he saw who it was he threw open the door and pulled me to him in a tight hug. I took me a moment to realize whose arms were wrapped around me they were those of my fledgling David. I hadn't seen him in so long and now I was face to face with his bronzed body. He smiled at me as he ushered me inside but there was something reflected in his brown eyes, something bad.
I was led into the main room by the arm and I found myself seeing many whom I have not been with for ages. Almost all of the great ones were there, I don't think we have been together like this since Night Island. They all stepped forward to greet me one at a time except Armand who I noticed slipping quietly away. I couldn't take this I wanted to know what was happening. They were avoiding telling me, I pulled away from them and looked around. The only ones that weren't here were Armand, Marius, my elusive mother, and Louis. Louis who Armand had warned me wasn't well.
"Where is he, where is Louis." I said this as more of an order then a question and David sighed and took me once again took me by the arm. He led me up a winding staircase and down a long hall where he released me and stared at a door. I opened it and walk in, the first thing that I noticed was Gabrielle sitting on the floor by a large bed looking tiered and utterly dejected. she saw my and got up walking past me she reached up and hugged me in an almost unheard of display of affection. She normally would never be affectionate like that. She looked up kissed my cheek, patted my arm, then left the room closing the door behind herself. I approached the bed fearfully. The room was nice as far as rooms go a bouquet of flowers here an ornate chest there a small pile of books lying spread out on the floor. The bed was surrounded with silk curtains shrouding its occupant from the world.
I crept towards it slowly prolonging the fear, the doubt, the horror. I reached my long hand up and drew the curtains aside.
