Then he was there..what a surprise. Never would of guessed this visitor would be showing up at my wedding. A happy surprise. For a tiny second my heart soared as this piece from my past came back.
I flew into his arms with glee ( if I'd been any other girl, I probably wouldn't want to leave the arms of the man that I would mostly describe as a mixture between Fabio and Hercules
((((authors note ..for Fabio look up - "undressed for a party? Lessons from Fabio" and
for Hercules look up - "Official European KevinSorbo Fanclub-Hercules" and you will know what the Sage in my mind looks like. Just copy and paste.)))))
"Sage, Oh my heavens how good to see you. It's been a long time, way to long. I've missed you.
How did you find out about the wedding? Don't get me wrong I'm thrilled you are here, I'm just shocked is all." Elena blurted out all at once, and one octave higher than her usual voice. More like an overly excited teenage fan at her favorite concert.
" Elena Sweetie, I'm glad to see you too, just wish it was under different circumstances than it is. Ms. Flowers told me where I could find you. That woman has amazing powers still."
" Elena, much to my dismay, This isn't just a social call. I've come to ask you for some help with a problem I'm having, and I think you are the only person that can help."
"Of course Sage, anything I can do..you know that." She answered him.
Sage was unsure how he should go about phrasing what he needed to say on such a delicate matter. Complicated even further by what he was not allowed to divulge.
" Well, It's Markus, he needs your help."
Elena couldn't of been more dumbfounded, than if Sage had suddenly turned pink. Her mind just went blank. "I hadn't realized you knew Markus, nor was I even sure he was still alive?' Were the only words she could come up with.
Elena was starting to feel dizzy. Before she knew it she could hear Stefan speaking, and he didn't sound happy, but the voices were sounding further and further away.
"Sage, this is an unexpected surprise." Stefan's tone had started out fine when he had said Sage's name, but was changing rapidly after looking at Elena and seeing she had turned white as a ghost.
" What did you say to my wife?' he asked.
"That is between her and I, and she's not your wife yet". Sage answered in a tone that left little doubt that he was completely not intimidated by Stefan.
"He... He, was asking for my help for Markus." Elena replied in almost a whisper.
Stefan's face turned to stone, and his eyes blazed. Elena didn't think she had ever seen Stefan look this mad.
" How dare you come here on our wedding day, speaking that monster's name. I thought I'd killed him.
Guess I'll have to finish the job this time. You are no longer welcome here, leave now, and never approach my wife again!"
"Sorry but I can't do that, and I highly doubt she would be marrying you, if she knew you had compelled her to do so. Elena here's my card, I'm in town, call me. The sooner the better.
Elena grabbed the card and watched Sage's back as he left. She barely had time to stuff it in her bra
Before she felt herself falling, and knew she was going out for the count.
