Heya, this is just a short chapter. I'll upload another today so don't worry. Please review. Hope you enjoy it.
He had been sat there waiting for what felt like an eternity. Every second felt like a thousand hours. For a vampire time passes differently than for a human, but this was something else. This was excruciating. He couldn't take his eyes off her. The longer he waited, the more he worried. What if something had gone wrong? What if he hadn't done it right? Wait! Sage thought to himself Of course I did it right. I've been changing people for years. The dark dimension is full of my princesses. He continued to worry, however. She needed to wake up and soon. His father would return soon and he would want to see proof. Sage began to wonder what the world would be like when he had Meredith by his side. He couldn't deny that she held a certain place in his heart. A place no one else had managed to reach. He would tell her anything. He would do anything she asked. If he wasn't careful, he was at risk of becoming a monogamous vampire. He shuddered at the thought. He was nothing like Stefan. But then in fairness even Damon seemed to have settled down with Bonnie. In fact, Sage thought to himself, they seem happy. Damon seems happy. Maybe it's not that bad an idea. I mean… what's the worst that could happen? He shuddered as his mouth almost uttered the word, love. Love terrified Sage. With his job, you couldn't afford to love. It was a risk. Too great a risk. He would never risk Meredith's life by loving her. That would be too selfish.
If only he could escape the job; but problem was, it wasn't so much a job as a family business. He couldn't really just quit. In fact he was certain that if he tried it might very well be the death of him. Sage sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for Meredith to wake from her deadly slumber. His mind turned back to the dark haired girl, besides she'd never love me. She loves Alaric. He's far safer for her. She deserves to be safe. The further away from me she is, the better. For the first time in centuries, he felt a tear in his eye. He tried to stand up; to leave but his body wouldn't move. He couldn't leave the dark haired girl. She needed him, even if she didn't want him. The worst of it was he needed her. His entire being craved her. Not just the blood he had tasted, but her mind, her heart, her body. Something had changed. He had changed. He was pulled to her by some invisible cord. Then again, he was her sire. That was a connection that wasn't easily broken. A bond that lasted forever.
He knew there was nothing he could do but wait.
