"oh really? Then why me? Hmmm? It's curious you haven't gone to the Vampiric Court nor to the Council with this but to me. An outcast. So once again. What do you want. And Dane" Turning her head slowly, so he saw the flash of red, "Shut up,"
So the end has come, watch me take you down while I bleed and may you forever have happiness without me.
"Megara," Dane started to say. "Bobby and I saved your life and those cubs of yours back there, so I would appreciate it if you would let me do what I believe is right ..." Dane then looked at Fin. "Now did you or did you not betray the White Knights?"
"Because I'm not the one who makes the decision. My orders come from someone else. Outcasts like you, Megara. Outcasts like us." Fin's expression was a lot serious than before. Without turning her head, her gaze steady on Megara, she answered Dane. "Isn't it only fair to betray the Knights when they betray you?" she asked him, not expecting an answer in return.
Dane then aimed the gun just a bit to the right and pulled the trigger. The iron ball barely missed Fin and Dane gave a smile. "I don't trust you, but, it's good to know that there's someone else who betrayed the White Knights and is living so far." Dane then looked back at Megara. "Try not to kill her." Dane then sat back down and reloaded his singleshot pistol.
Megara simply nodding, "Let's sit it's been a long few hours." Moving to the sitting roomm without looking back at either of the knights.
So the end has come, watch me take you down while I bleed and may you forever have happiness without me.
It was fair enough that Dane didn't trust her. Fin followed Megara and Dane to the sitting room as quietly as she could, and sat down on one of the seats in the center of the room. She turned to Megara, waiting for her to say something.
Megara sat with her back to the wall the room was large with several chair, high backed wing chairs, which one Megara sat in, starring into the empty fireplace. "Once I was known as Princess Megara, of the Firstblood clan, strong of will fair and lethal." Smiling that changed when the knights took on me and my fiance. " Tugging her coat tighter around herself. "Chantelle killed my mother during my party, my father died trying to get me to him. My lover died saving me by getting me to this place. I now have the knights who attempted to destroy me and my kind begging for my help. One besotted by a fair vampire the other seeking shelter." Rubbing her eyes. "I want to know why you want my help in particular, you could have asked any other vampire who came here. But you asked for me Fin. So tell me."
So the end has come, watch me take you down while I bleed and may you forever have happiness without me.
Fin stared into the distance, listening to Megara speak.
"I know your story, Megara. I was brought up by a man who told me tales of valor about your kind - especially you and Icarus.
As difficult as it may be to believe, the Vampires and Weres are not the only enemies of the Knights." Fin continuing after giving a pause. "I am Zachariah's daughter." she finally said.
Smiling silently, "Icarus and Zachariah both good knights, who kept the secret. Did you know that Icarus lied though?" Turning to show the bloody tears on her cheek."Icarus didn't love me, yes it is true he bedded me. As did his fellow brother in arms Renzourin." Tuggging the sheet away from the picture above the fireplace, showing two young men wrapped around each other, only covered by a sheet, over their groins. One Icarus with the dark brown hair, the other blonde was Renzourin. "Icarus loved Renzourin. I commisioned this piece shortly after they died, so I wouldn't forget the love of the men." Sitting down heavily, "Z wouldn't have sent you to me, not unless it was grave or he was in his grave."
So the end has come, watch me take you down while I bleed and may you forever have happiness without me.
Fin got up from the seat and walked over to the painting that hung above the fireplace. This part of the story was something she had missed out, something she had never been told. Fin never would have believed in a million years that Icarus would betray Megara. As strange as it was, for a single moment, Fin felt as though she shared Megara's pain. Everything was a strange turn of events, events that no one could help being involved in. She ran her hands through the extravagant gold frame around the painting, and turned to look at Megara.
"The Cherubim Council." Fin said in a soft tone. "I was sent here by the Cherubim Council." she said. "After my father and I were cast out of the city, we were found by Icarus. He led us to the Council. Would it surprise you if I told you that Icarus was the founding father?" she smiled and extracted a titanium bullet from her pocket. "Icarus gave this to my father." she said, as she trailed her fingers over the carvings on the bullet that said "Cherubim 1191". She placed it on the table just in front of the fireplace and rolled it over for Megera to see. "Zachariah told me to give this to you when I find you." she said, looking back at the painting.
