Simon POV.
“What do you need from us?” I ask her, if she killed him, what does she need us for?
“I can’t be the one who killed him, not out loud, not in front of my siblings, they’ll try to kill me, you have to say you did it,” she says pointing to me.
“And me? What would happen to me? They would kill me instead,” I say.
“No they won’t, you’re the new boss, Simon, you’re going to be changed,” she says and my eyes went wild, she was shifting our agreement all around, I knew I shouldn’t have agreed with her, I should never have played with the creature of the night, especially ones like Storm.
“No Storm, you won’t, I’m not going to be a vampire all of the sudden, I refuse,” I yell at her, I’ve changed my mind, this can’t happen, I’m gonna take my wife and run away.
“What do you think would happen, Simon, you’re fucking smarter than this! We killed a Lord! A fucking Lord, you know when one falls, another has to step in,” she says.
“Then go ahead, step in,” I say, motioning to the dead body of Elijah, he’s even scarier now that he’s actually dead.
“They all know I’m not strong enough to take him down, if I was, he’d be dead years ago, and if they thought I did it. Then they’ll come for me and anyone who could have helped me, including the mafia boss who’s been coming too near,” she says threatening me again.
“Storm! What the fuck! You’re supposed to be a mafia boss, you’re a lord!” I yell at her, now not giving a fuck about the dead Elijah.
“I’m, but I’m also a female, I’m not as old as them, and I’m offering you an opportunity!” she says yelling back at me.
“One that’s a death sentence?” I ask her, what she’s offering me is death on a golden plate.
“It’s not, it’s a way that you’ll be in charge, I’ll do it. Fuck let your wife do it, she’s a legend in the houses, and everyone would fear you two, you can take over this whole place, I’ll be your number supporter, with my support, and we both know how much Thomas loves you, he actually talks about you,” she says.
“I don’t believe you Storm, you’re trying to get out of it, shifting the blame on me,” I say still not believing a word of what she said.
“Thomas said that you’re a human that he actually tolerates, Thomas doesn’t tolerate half of us, he hates three of my brothers, and he killed my own sister cause she pissed him off, but when it comes around you, he like you, he thinks you’re a good human,” she says.
“If he likes me as you say, what would happen when I change? Huh? You’d kill me as well, showing him that you’re much stronger than he ever thought you were?” I ask her.
“Killing you is an idiot move, not right away, no one wants to kill a newly shifted vampire, especially one who’s Thomas’s favourite, instead of killing you, I’ll make you my friend, we’ll be best friends for all I care, you’ll help me and I’ll help you back,” she says, now her words kind of make sense, I think I should be able to do that.
“Only if Sophia, my wife agrees,” I say turning to her, if not we’ll find another solution, I never dreamt about being a vampire, and I don’t know how she’d feel about me shifting, I need to take her blessings first.
“Being a vampire means you can never walk into a church again, the sun will make you weak, you’d be hungry for blood, and you won’t die, you’ll live for a very long time, you’ll have to be alive, even while the word shifts and change, you’ll be the same, you’ll be frozen in time,” Sophia answers me.
“I won’t be alone until death does apart,” I say smiling a little bit at her and she smiled back.
“You’ll be dead then, but I’ll do it,” she says looking at me with another smile, it’s the same eyes, the same look that got me attached to her from the first day we met.
“First, help me with this, then you two can do it, by tomorrow evening we’ll tell Thomas about this,” Storm orders, and we agreed with her, I helped her move the boss, we took him outside, some of the maids that were awake saw us, but we didn’t care, Logan saw us, as did Lucas, and finally the traitor AJ.
“The witch is dead! Woho!” Logan says jumping up and down, hugging Lucas celebrating.
“Idiots, come help her,” I yell at them, they all walked toward her, they took him to the backyard, and they lit him on fire, dancing around him, they were celebrating his death.
“Come on,” Sophia says, it’s time to be changed.
“How is it done?” I ask her.
“I drink your blood, feed you some of mine, and then you wake up as me,” she explains.
“Fine, go ahead,” I say giving her my neck.
“No, not like this, let’s go,” she says going toward our room, the one we were sharing before, she got us in bed and she started to kiss me, she made me feel like I’m melting in her arms, I was so happy about being in her arms.
“I’m sorry Simon,” she says and then she bite me, it wasn’t the usual small bite, she dug deep and it hurt, it really hurt, I screamed as she drained my body of all the blood, I felt weak, I felt vulnerable, but this was Sophia, my Saint, my Lil-sinner, I trust her, but was my trust misplaced?
