Part 28
"I'm not sure I understand." Thierry was looking at Isis, kind of confused.
Isis stared at her feet, feeling kind of foolish herself. She had never in her life expected to be here, vouching for a Night Person's reform. "Well apparently Evangeline Redfern has found a soulmate in Zach Harman, and since they've found out we've been onto them, Evangeline has decided that the best for them to do would be to join Daybreak so she won't be killed and can be with her soulmate."
She forced herself to meet Thierry's eyes. She wasn't sure how he would react to it, considering he was the one who had hired her and Raven to kill the Redfern twins after all.
"And where are they?" he asked.
"Waiting outside the mansion," Isis said, even smiling a little. "They wouldn't come in with me."
Thierry was silent for a few minutes. There was a knock on the door and a petite blonde stuck her head in. "Sorry to bother you, Sir, but I've just taken down two urgent messages, one for you, one for Miss Blackthorn." She handed Thierry two folded pieces of paper.
Thierry took them and handed one to Isis. "Thank you Eleanor." The blonde girl smiled faintly and left. Isis frowned and looked at her message, her eyes widening in disbelief as she red the note. ~Jesus, Raven, you might have told me about this earlier~ she thought, not really sure how she felt about this news at the moment.
She looked up to Thierry and from the look on his face, realised he knew too, but had more news of his own. "Apparently Ashael Redfern has decided to retire. She disappeared with Dusk Harman."
"Alice is dead, isn't she?" Isis said, sitting back in her chair, deciding after this she was definitely in need of a vacation.
Thierry nodded. "Unfortunately."
Isis took a few deep breaths. "So what shall I tell Zach and Evangeline?"
"And them in and I'll talk with them." Thierry was almost smiling. "If they want to help us out, I don't see why not."
Isis nodded and left the office. She was sitting on one of the rec rooms twenty minutes later when Evangeline came to join her.
"I never expected things to turn out this way," Evangeline said.
Isis chuckled dryly. "Me neither. I take it you heard."
Evangeline nodded, folding her legs under her as she sat down. "Isn't it amazing how the people you think you know better than anyone else always manage to surprise you most."
Isis nodded, deciding not to say anything. She still hadn't gotten over the shock of Raven's news yet. But if that's what would make her happy, they Isis wasn't going to stop her.
"So what are you going to do now?" Evangeline asked.
It was a very good question. After all that had happened, it was hard to go back to her old way of thinking, Night World bad, Daybreak good. Not all Night People were domineering rule-the-world maniacs. Some still were, but she didn't want to go through this again.
"Take a long vacation somewhere sunny, then...I really don't know."
Her own soulmate was still out there somewhere. Maybe someday, she'd find them. Or find something else to keep her occupied. One door of her life was definitely closed, but others were only just opening.
THE END.
