CHAPTER 9
(SHELLY'S P.O.V)
I sauntered up to the receptionist desk with Nadia in my arms. I held my breath in anticipation at the receptionist's reaction when she discovered it was me. Jessica and Adilyn were a godsend that Roman, Peter, Nadia, and I desperately needed. In a blink of an eye I was cured of my affliction, leaving me extremely overjoyed and grateful. Finally I was able to live the life I deserved. All the days and nights of feeling unwanted, and ugly inside and out were finally over. No more ridiculous looks from Hemlock Grove's residents, no more hiding… Just living my life in peace and happiness. I just hope my brother could see it that way as well. He had gotten his wish to no longer be Upir. He could go on to raise my niece in peace as well. Things were looking up for my family, and I for one intended to keep it that way. "Hi good morning. Is uncle Johann in?," I asked the receptionist who gave me a confused glance. "Shelley?!," Uncle Johann's voice interrupted. "Hi uncle Johann," I gave him the warmest smile, as Nadia cooed.
"Shelley," Uncle Johann responded, looking me up and down in amazement. "How did you?-" "Roman's friend helped us." I smiled as happy tears ran down my face. "Us?," Uncle Johann echoed, raising an eyebrow in confusion, "My physical appearance is restored, and Roman, Nadia, and I are now fully human." A glass cup suddenly shattered out of nowhere a few feet from us. "Roman and Nadia are human?!," My mother said bewildered, as the shattered glass cup lay next to her feet.
(JESSICA'S P.O.V)
I switched on my laptop camera, as I positioned myself to be seen, as I folded my hands, and stared back at the camera gloomily. I was about to do my infamous blog. (Jessica's blog is a spin off of TrueBlood, that follows Jessica Hamby. I Didn't see canon scenes in the show itself, but you can definitely find canon clips on Youtube.) Only this time it wouldn't be posted live for the internet to see. Due to horrifying current events, I was beginning to realize being anonymous was the best option. Now that BonTemp , and my BonTemp family were gone, I had no desire to be found by my followers on the internet. "How do you pick up the pieces of your life when everything has been shattered beyond recognition. It's bad enough that Adilyn and I lost everyone we loved," I slowly explained. "BUT THIS!," I suddenly exclaimed, as angry tears suddenly flowed. "BonTemp is completely gone!. All in a FUCKING INSTANT. What the fuck was this?! Of all the things I have learnt from Bill and Eric, nothing they have taught me could have prepared me for this!." I shouted in anger, as I suddenly knocked over my dressing table.
"I can't begin to express how I feel," I began to say through angry sobs. "EMPTINESS… DESPAIR…" I continued to cry, as my back slowly slid down my bedroom wall. "This time there's no Bill, no Eric," I continued to whimper. "Just me, Adilyn, Peter and Roman."
