Chapter 2
.
Nick Wolfe paced around in this church. He had forgiven Amanda, but was still angry at the situation. Nick had never asked for this, to be immortal, to have other immortals come for him like this. But he was safe, at least while he was in this church. Thus far Nick had killed only one other immortal. The other had attacked him without provocation, just wanted his head. After taking the other man's head, Nick saw this weird tattoo on the arm. He didn't recognize every symbol on the tattoo, but the nazi swastika definitely stood out. Then Nick heard something, some guy calling for him. And he heard a child crying. Nick went outside to investigate, but stayed on church property. There Nick saw Jacob, he could sense that Jacob was an immortal, and Jacob had the weird swastika tattoo as well. Jacob was also holding a little girl hostage, Nick estimated she was 7, maybe 8 years old. As a former cop, Nick's instincts were to protect the child.
.
Nick: Let the girl go.
Jacob: Certainly, as soon as you step off of church grounds.
Nick: You want to fight?
Jacob: Ofcourse.
Nick: Very well, let me just make one call.
.
Nick knew he might not have much time left, so he called Amanda.
.
Amanda: Nick, are you allright?
Nick: Not really. I tried seeking refuge in a church. But this creep is holding a child hostage, forcing me to come out. I want you to know, if I don't make it, I forgive you. And try to avoid any immortal with a tattoo that includes the swastika.
.
Nick left the church and Jacob let the child go. They fought briefly, but Nick was much less experienced. He gave Jacob some wounds, but in the end Jacob took Nick's head, and with it his quickening.
