EPISODE 10 "THE CHALICE Ii. LIVING FOR YOU"
Philippe's screams rumbled between the stone walls of the underground labyrinth and his muffled cries reached Coraline who was awakened confused in the middle of a dark hallway that seemed endless. She tried to sit clinging to the cold stones of the wall, and when she finally managed to stand up and clear her mind, a terrible chill ran through her body and she cried. "Mick!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Previously in the chamber
The weakness, pain and intense cold invaded every cell in his body, while the chamber walls began to release his hand. Mick fought against death just to get just a few seconds and he clung tightly to the open edges of the chamber in a desperate attempt to reach her while Beth struggled in vain to take back control of her body and reach him, but her muscles were still asleep and there was not reaction. Only her mind stayed awake looking beyond her sleepy eyes as she relived the vision in her dream that now become a cruel reality. Mick was dying before her eyes and she could do nothing!
She would have preferred to relinquish her life to avoid him suffering this terrible agony. She wished with all her might that she could tear apart the ropes that bound her and annihilate the damn devil that was destroying what she loved most, and destroy him with all the rage contained in her body. But nothing could be done, nothing but begging that the end would come suddenly and take her too. The words that her father had whispered between the metal walls of her prison came back to her like a wary consolation. ‘Death is only the beginning’ however, that was not enough now. She could feel Mick’s suffering and agony and since her body was unable to respond to her desperate orders, she tried to focus all the power in her mind to calm that intense pain that was annihilating him.
BETH: Look at me my love, look at me. I'm here and I won´t let you go.
A single tear from Beth´s eye fell on Mick's hand and when he felt it on his skin he looked up and saw her there beside him. He closed his eyes for a moment and he thought he felt the cool, soft touch of her hands, calming the fever of his skin, which was burning him now from the poison of silver. Then his physical pain stopped and he tried to find that desired contact of her skin with his fingers. He needed her, he need to feel her to keep her memory on his skin, but before his fingers could touch hers, everything around him became dark and whispers of that cold and thick fog that surrounded her, began to envelope him.
MICK:Death, cruel and uncompromising, was fighting against my will to take me away from her. But now it was Beth who seemed to pull at me. The shadows and whispers of death were surrounding my mind but I could still hear her voice screaming in the silence. "Stay with me Mick ... stay with me, I will not let you go."
His body could no longer endure and the Life Angel slipped from his hands and fall on Beth's breast, then the vampire's eyes were filled with a strange glint when the silver pendant touched the skin of its real owner and Mick smiled for a moment while he looked at her one last time. Then he closed his eyes and his hand, without strength, slid down the silk that covered her body until it fell on the ground, exposing the empty little bag while The Life Angel was lost between the folds of silk.
........::**&**::........
Lance gave the order to his shooters to leave the room and keep watch outside. He would not need support and no one should witness what was to happen next. Then, he approached Mick's body that was lying next to the Beth´s bed. He leaned over and stared at him like a lion watching his prey before devouring it. “Poor fool… really… did you think that you would have her?” Lance muttered wryly. “You had absolute power in your hands but you were so stupid that you let it go. Now she will be mine like she always meant to be. She will be mine in body and soul," Lance said, moving closer to his ear, whispering his triumph as his lips curled into a cruel smile. "And believe me you can’t do anything about it". He rose with an elegant gesture and approached a rickety table at the other side of the room and said. "You know, everything worked perfectly, you fell into the trap. Love is always so predictable. You had to come to save her and in doing so, you have freed her for me and you have put the power of the real chalice on my hand without knowing the truth. Nobody will ever know the truth. And now, the power will be mine, all mine," He smiled again as he took out a sword with his gloved hand from its silver sheath that was engraved with an angel-shaped shield. "I guess it's time for me to return the favor.” He said, stroking the metal. "So, I´ll free you forever from what you never wanted to be." Then he brandished the sword with a ceremonious gesture. “And since you've decided to live like an angel despite being a vampire, I'll do it with the only weapon capable of destroying both." His eyes sparkled with the glint of the sharp blade while stroking it with the fingertips. "It´s the same sword that once held the blood of its owner years ago. Oh yes, I did it. I covered it with the blood of the last Guardian of the prophecy, the father of your lover. And now, I´ll cover it with yours. Poetic, is not it?" Lance said, turning to look with cruel delight the lifeless body of his enemy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Coraline knew there was a second entrance to the room where the chamber was. An inlet that Lance would not gard because it was known only by two people, himself and her and at this point Lance thought she was dead. So she started running through the hall as fast as her mortal body allowed her. She had to be on time, this time she had to be there on time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
L: “Ok, it´s time to say goodbye to her forever because your destiny is fulfilled right here and right now.” Lance raised the Grigori´s sword ready to land the final blow in the heart of his victim.
C: “No! Don’t do it!” Coraline shouted as she rushed to place her body between Mick and the sword.
L: “Coraline!” Lance stopped his attack at that unexpected surprise. He smelled Coraline and felt her change. "I am surprised my sister. You're back to watch him die or are you going to close your eyes when the moment comes like you did with Eric.”
At that moment, hatred filled Coraline´s face in a hard and expressionless gesture as she looked at her brother and replied coldly. “You cannot kill him. If you do, you´ll destroy The Chalice.”
L: You lie!!
Coraline rose from the ground and stepped forward to stand in front of her brother. "Are you sure you want to do this? You yourself said he’s an angel even despite being a vampire. Only he can open the chamber with his blood, only he can release her. Do you want to know why? Because he is her Guardian and you know what that means. They are connected and if you kill him you are going to kill her too and you will lose your precious chalice." Lance looked doubtful, but when he watched Mick´s body he smiled.
L: "Nice try sister, but you forget one little thing." He said as he made the gesture to sniff the air. "He is already dead." And with a movement swift as the wind, he stepped aside making Coraline fall on the bed where Beth was lying. He lifted his sacred sword against his victim chest and shoved it into the middle of his heart saying. "She can only have one owner."
“NOOOO!!” It was two cries that were merged into one, one of them came from Coraline´s throat while she watched the sacred metal sink into Mick’s chest and the other came from the soul of Beth breaking her own heart when she felt the cold and mortal metal that was penetrating the skin of the man she loved like it was her own breast.
----------------------------------------------------------
Coraline turned her face, burying it under the covers to keep from looking at Mick. But while she clung to the folds of the silk, the Angel of Life appeared between her fingers. Coraline raised her eyes to meet Lance’s with hers and what she saw was the image of her own pain. Two tears of blood were running down Beth’s immaculate face, bathing in despair while her soul kept screaming to her in silence. ‘Help him!!’ And at that moment one of the strings that held her wrist broke as if it was obeying an order or her wish. Beth’s wrist fell into Coraline’s hands as an offering, it was the only thing that Beth could do while her voice pleaded penetrating Coraline’s mind. ‘Please ...’ Coraline heard the prayer that was not just coming from Beth, a voice inside her was crying out the same thing. At that moment she looked at the sword in Mick’s chest while Lance turned back to prepare the ritual. Coraline’s eyes were filled with hope when she saw Eric´s cross on Mick’s chest and a thought crossed her mind. "While she is still alive…he won´t die."
---------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, on the outside
J: “Oh come on, can’t we solve this in a diplomatic way?" Josef sighed when he met his team in the hallway leading to the chamber room and he saw two vampires stationed in front of the door pointing their weapons. "Okay." He said as he dodged the first shot. "I had to try, but if you insist. I regret to inform you that I´m starting to get hungry and that puts me in a foul mood." Showing his fangs he lunged against one of his adversaries disarming him two seconds while Kassandra and the others did the same with the rest.
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the chamber room.
L: “I told you that the payment for your betrayal would be watching them die one by one, everybody that you ever loved. And you know I always keep my promises, Coraline.” Lance commented while walking to the rickety table to where he had previously taken the sword, but this time he picked up a strange glass box. Inside it there was a small glass bottle that looked empty. It was probably to gather Beth’s valuable blood before waking her up from the darkness.
L:“Now say goodbye to her and say goodbye to your past because nothing will remain of Eric when his daughter is mine.” Lance said as he watched the countless multicolored reflections that swirled in the different layers of glass drawn inside the bottle when the candlelight managed to penetrate it, creating a strange effect on his black eye. But in a moment it turned to ice when he smelt that perfume. It was a strange mixture between the unmistakable, delicious aroma of his prisoner and something else…something that caused him to be on his guard. The smell of fresh blood!
Lance left the urn on the table and turned in a tenth of a second toward the bed where Beth was lying. All his plans had changed at a moment. Beth's wrist was falling to one side of the bed a small cross section had torn her veins and from it flowed her blood that was dripping on Mick's lips, drifting toward the still open wound on his chest. Coraline was kneeling with the blood stained sword resting on the floor, her fingers were still tangled around the hilt while her other hand was gently stoking Mick with an air of nostalgia, as if for a moment she was in the same place but in another time, many years ago.
Just then she heard the blow of the urn on the wood, drawing her from her daydream and she raised her dark eyes toward Lance, looking at him with a triumphant smile on her face while she began to recite in a whisper. "And her Guardian will give his life for her and she will make him reborn. Blood ties two siblings born from different wombs, the darkness will be fed by the light and from its union power will emerge."
L: "NO! You damn bitch!" Lance shouted angrily as he dragged Mick's body to keep Beth´s blood from falling on him. His silver eyes looked at Beth's wound, the blood was still flowing and his instinct took over and felt he the uncontrollable desire to drink from her. He knew that he could not wait anymore or he would lose his opportunity. Maybe he was not going to fulfill his revenge against Grigoris by taking her body and her soul. He knew in that instant that he had to kill her to prevent her from bringing the Guardian back to life. But before killing her, he was going to taste the power of her blood…just once might be enough. So, regardless of Coraline who was still there, close to Beth, Lance lunged toward the coveted treasure of her blood, ready to quench his thirst for power.
At that moment, something moved inside Coraline when she remembered Lance’s words. ‘Nothing will remain of Eric when his daughter is mine.’ And unexpectedly she reacted and moved between Lance and Beth brandishing Eric´s sword, pointing it at his chest. "No! Don’t touch her! If you do I swear that I´ll bury it in your heart, if it's the last thing I do…I swear, I´ll do.
L: "Oh… Eric would have loved to see this scene but your maternal instinct comes a little late my dear. Don’t you think so?" Lance joked with a horrible grin. “Oh Come on, look at you, my sister, you look so pathetic.” Coraline struggled to keep her position, holding the sword with all her might without taking her eyes off him. "Hahaha. Do you really think you can stop me?" Coraline closed her hands tightly around the hilt of the sword and pressed it against his chest until he could feel the blade stained with Beth´s blood on his skin. Then, the vampire looked up at her with a mischievous smile and lifting his arms he said. "Do it now because I will not let her live for him!” And before she could decide, Lance pressed his body against the edge until the tip of the sword sank into his flesh. Now, Beth´s blood was in him.
This unexpected response of Lance’s left Coraline absolutely shocked. At that moment, taking advantage of her confusion and with a movement so fast that would not let her choose; the vampire pulled the sword out of his heart and threw the woman in the air and she landed in a corner of the room, hitting her head hard against the stone wall and fell unconscious to the ground while a trickle of blood came from her mouth. Lance turned to Mick as he wiped the blade of the sword and again sank it into Mick´s chest to make sure that that blood of the Chalice could not bring him back before he had a chance to kill him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The other side of the door
The balance was in favor of Joseph and his army, but the enemy was not going to surrender so easily. In the fight one of Lance´s men in a counterattack fell to the floor and instinctively, he took the gun that had fallen beside him and shot Kassandra. The Cleaner managed to dodge the silver bullet but it struck Josef who was standing a few feet away. When Josef heard the whistle of the bullet tearing through the air it was too late to avoid it. But when the silver bullet was about to impact his body, Gabriel appeared from nowhere and covering his body. The Guardian absorbed the impact without the vampire´s body suffering the least bit of damage. Josef could not believe it, a Grigori, a messenger of death, had just saved the life of a vampire. "But why?" Josef asked in astonishment while he was looking in all directions without understanding from where Gabriel had appeared from and why. "Well ... thanks ... I guess.”/div>
“Relax, you don’t owe me anything right now...or maybe you do.” Gabriel said with a slight smile on his lips, passing in front of Josef.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Lance turned to Beth. There were no obstacles in his way or so he thought because when he approached her, it felt as if a kind of invisible shield was repelling him and it was preventing him from touching her. His eyes became ice when he noticed the Angel of Life shone like silver on her breast. Coraline had put the pendant on Beth before cutting her wrist to make sure it would protect her, the blood loss would not kill her if she was wearing it. Coraline knew her life was the Mick´s life, so by protecting her, she was protecting him.
L:"No dear, this time there will be no Guardian who can protect you from me." Lance murmured, and took the Grigori´s sacred sword ready to cut the silvered chain around her neck letting the pendant fall to the ground.
Once the barrier was broken, Lance took off the gloves and eagerly took Beth's wrist in his hands. He inhaled the scent of her skin mixed with her blood, it was absolutely delicious and he started to drink the precious liquid that flowed from her veins with his tongue, licking the drops of blood that ran down her soft skin. He had barely felt the frenzy of the flavor as the first drop slid down his throat because when his lips touched her wound, an unknown force pulled him back incredibly hard, throwing him to the other side of the room making him fall on the rickety table that broke into pieces on the floor. Lance looked up and saw Gabriel and Joseph at the entrance, the evil vampire smiled again and he stood up calmly.
"We’re too late." Josef murmured, as he stood petrified at the door looking around. Coraline, Beth and even Mick, all of them appeared to be dead.
“Oh... Look at this!! Life makes strange bedfellows.” Lance commented wryly watching the two before him. A vampire and a Guardian together. He glared at the Guardian and said. "Gabriel!! I’m honored that you paid me a visit." Lance made a gesture of reverence. "I see that by leaving your mortal body you have recouped your power or maybe death didn’t want to welcome you either. Too bad your sacrifice did not serve to save the life of your brother."
Gabriel grabbed him by the neck and looked at him with eyes of ice and fire as if he wanted to annihilate him with his gaze, but his power did not work against Lance, who now smiled impassive while his eyes became two jet black stones. "Damn you!! Soon you will receive the punishment that you deserve for all your crimes" Gabriel muttered angrily.
“Really? Ha, don´t make me laugh. Are you back for that?” Lance answered. "Well, I´m sorry to say it has been in vain. I tasted her blood." The vampire whispered and took the Guardian by his neck shoving him back.
J: "Mick!!"Josef screamed beside the lifeless body of his friend while looking at Beth’s injured wrist and saw Mick's lips stained with her blood. "Come on my brother, you can’t be dead, she’s still alive. You have to wake up for her Mick…you have to wake up…she needs you!" Josef looked at Coraline who was lying on the floor. She seemed dead and Josef looked at Lance and screamed. "You fucking bastard!! I shouldn’t have saved your life! You should have been beheaded the night I helped you!! You have no limits, not only did kill your own kind, now you have stooped to murdering your own family. What kind of devil have you become?”
“Oh come on Josef you know weakness only takes away our power. And speaking of weakness how is that girl…Sara, I believe her name was?” Lance smiled wryly. “Do you still see her? She was your only weakness."
Anger took over Josef at that moment. "You're a fucking son of…" And he fired his gun at Lance until he emptied the entire magazine into him, but silver did not have an effect on him. The drops of Beth´s blood were enough to save him as Lance smiled at him calmly until the shooting stopped. Then with just a gesture, and barely touching him, he threw Josef against the wall and slid down near Coraline’s body. Lance smiled and turned to face Gabriel’s angry gaze and ran the edge of the sword across the Guardians chest while he whispered. "Your reign of terror is over." He placed the tip of the sword against Grigori’s throat and said. "Mine starts today." Then stepped back and motioned cynically. "But you will continue to be the Guardian of Destiny, right?” He whispered. "So, enjoy watching the fate of your race." He smiled again while he removed the sword from his neck and started to walk towards Beth.
“I will not let you kill her!" Gabriel screamed and it made Lance turn toward him again to answer.
“It’s not your decision, Gabriel. She is my creation and you can no longer intervene in her destiny, those are the rules and you know it!”
"Maybe he can’t, but I can!" Hearing the sound of that voice wiped the smile from Lances face instantly and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes as he turned to look at something he never thought he’d see.
Mick was sitting on the edge of the bed where Beth was lying, he was holding her injured wrist in his hands and lifted it his mouth with infinite tenderness. At that moment the trickle of blood that flowed from the small cut stopped instantly as his lips touched the wound gently. The ties that kept her prisoner were broken leaving her other hand free as if it was obeying a silent order. He took both hands in his to make her feel his presence. "I'm here baby." And her soft heartbeats welcomed him.
"You ... It was you!!" Lance yelled, livid with rage, he instantly understood that Mick's immense strength had come from his prey.
Mick hardened his expression as he turned his face towards the man whom had become his worst enemy and answered. "I told you I would come back from hell." Then he gently placed her hands on her breast and stood up to take a determined step towards Lance and extended his hands to show himself to his enemy. “As you can see I kept my word!" His eyes locked on Lance´s eyes. "Not even death could keep me away from her you disgusting blood sucker!" Taking another step his gaze turned to fire and ice. "Now it’s my turn!"
…….::**&**::…...
A few yards away, next to a rocky corner of the room, Josef managed to recover from the blow and reach Coraline, he could smell that she was seriously injured but she was still alive. “Coraline, listen, I have to do it now.
“No…no!!” She managed to say it in just a sigh.
……::**&**::…….
Lance took a step backwards and looked into Mick’s eyes. Unlike Gabriel´s eyes, Mick´s gaze could block him, but when Lance tried to avoid it and lower his eyes to the almost non-existent remains of the scar on the Mick’s chest, he saw that his skin was still dotted with small drops of perspiration. ‘He´s still weak’ Lance thought. His wicked gaze turned to Beth´s wound on her wrist and a horrible smirk arose again on his lips. "Really? And what will you do first? Are you going to kill me or are you going to save her life?" His fingers became claws scratching the air and instantly Mick felt inside himself a painful twinge that made him to turn to Beth while Lance took advantage of the time to retrieve Eric´s sword that was lying on the ground and disappeared.
Mick saw that the small cut on Beth´s wrist had been reopened getting bigger and the blood began to flow intensely. Mick tried to stop the bleeding but Beth was too weak because of the loss of blood, and all this was also weakening his power because now she had become the chalice of his own life. "Oh my love, hold on, hold on a little longer." Mick whispered as he continued trying to close the open wound open, hearing her pulse as it grew weaker and weaker. "Oh My God, help me please !" Then, he saw her Angel of Life shining on the floor as a response to his prayer. Mick closed his eyes and immediately the Angel of Life flew into his hand. Mick opened it with trembling hands and he let its contents fall on the open wound. The power of the drops of blood of the Grigori suddenly stopped the bleeding and the wound began to close again. In just seconds her pulse began to normalize while he was beginning to recover his own strength. Once past the most critical moment he started to put the pendant around her neck so that it would protect her.
Lance had already reached the alternative exit but, before disappearing he could not avoid turning to look at his victory and anger dominated him again when he saw Mick putting the Angel of Life around her neck. "Damn you!" Lance muttered. "If she lives, he will not die." He repeated to himself, then gripped the hilt of Eric’s sword and immediately threw it toward Beth’s bare breast while he screamed. “I will not let her live for you!!"
"Josef!" It was Gabriel´s voice, who was condemned to see what was happening without being able to intervene. But when Gabriel called Josef, a new sword appeared alongside the vampire. This new sword belonged to Gabriel and Josef took it without hesitation, resisting the burning pain that the silvered sword of Destiny caused on his skin and then he threw it with all his might to divert the direction of the other sword that was threatening Beth’s life. Both swords collided in midair and ended up falling to the ground a few feet from Gabriel. In just a second Gabriel recovered his sword and cut off Lance´s retreat. “I respected the rules, her fate has been fulfilled, for better or for worse, but now it´s time to meet yours. You must pay for the death of Eric and Lilith and for all the evil that you have sown during your monstrous existence.”
“There's nothing you can do to me, I'm immune the power of your race.” Lance replied.
"But not to mine!" Mick extended his hand and Eric´s sword came to him like a hawk looking for the falconer's fist and in a split second Mick took Lance by his hair exposing his neck to the sharp blade. "I will make you pay with your blood for every second of pain you have caused her, for her anxiety and her fear".
“No sword can kill me now!” Lance said, his voice quivering at the proximity of the blades edge to his throat while he was keeping that eternal smirk drawn on his face.
"You think so?" The Guardian vampire whispered showing his fangs. “Well, we will have to create one than can." Then Josef and Gabriel grabbed hold of Lance and Mick glared at him as he took the blade of the sword off his neck and ran it on the palm of his own hand cutting his skin, the blood of the guardian vampire stained the metal in red while he could see the fear in Lance´s eyes. "The power is not for those who take it, it’s for those who deserves it." At the same time Mick said these words, he pushed the tip of the sword till penetrating his enemy's chest sinking it deeper and deeper until it reached his heart.
Lance let out a horrible howl when he felt the blood-stained metal of his executioner flow into his body, it was as if a flame had been lit in his entrails and it was slowly consuming him. His body stiffened, paralyzed, but not dead and his emotionless eyes, panicked when he saw himself reflected Mick’s cold eye’s as he whispered. "Welcome to your hell."
.......::**&**::........
The cleaners did their job once again flawlessly and then they took care Lance, they had to prepare him for trial in the community. They had to make sure that the threat of its existence would disappear with him. But now it was necessary to take Beth and Coraline away from there for their safety until Lance was executed and Josef knew the perfect place without having to leave the city.div>

New York, 301 Waverly Place. Josef residence in NYC
Cynthia was taking care Coraline under the worried eyes of Josef when Mick entered the room.
"How is she?" Mick asked quietly and when Cynthia heard his voice, she turned to him, her eyes filled with tears, could hardly contain the pain and rage at the hopelessness of her friend.
"I´m afraid she is in very serious condition." Josef said "The impact was very strong and she was very weak, the only solution would be to turn her but she did not want us to.”
"The truth is that she has given up her life just so you can win!" Cynthia screamed at Mick with all the anger that she could no longer contain anymore. "You never deserved her... you know!" She said between tears and her voice sounded so desperate, so anger. There was so much pain in it that it hurt Mick but he looked down in silence and it made her even angrier. "Damn you ... damn you Mick St John!" She shouted again and then went out the room.
Mick closed his eyes when she slammed the door. The blame came back to him... Coraline should not have went there knowing she was a mortal. He had left her unconscious because he had read in her mind and knew the idea behind her sacrifice, but it didn’t work. Mick came to the edge of the bed and gently stroked the hair of the woman who had once been his wife. “Why, Coraline?” Mick asked her in a whisper.
Coraline stirred slightly on the bed when she heard Mick’s voice and fought with all her strength to open her eyes. She had the need to see him, she made an almost superhuman effort, and her eyelids began to slowly open despite the painkillers, until finally she could focus her eyes on him. When he felt the touch of her hand on his forehead, a faint smile appeared on her lips and she said. “It looks like ... lately I have to be on the brink of death to get your attention.”
“Why did… why did you have to face him?”
“For you.” She sighed. “It was always for you.”
At that moment another set of eyes appeared in front of her and she smiled again looking at those blue eyes that seemed to smile back at her from infinity while her trembling hand rose to touch that face that she loved so much.
Then a last breath came from her mouth to utter a name, and her hand fell lifeless on the silk sheets as a tear appeared in the eyes of the young vampire when he felt her death. “You lied to me!” Mick yelled and his hand closed with strength on the sheets “I had sent her away from all this, but you brought her here again… why?” His voice sounded full of resentment.
"Her fate had to be her decision, not yours." The voice of Gabriel answered finally. She had to be free to choose, like you." And Guardian's image appeared at the head of the bed where Coraline was lying.
“He is right, Mick" Josef interceded "She has chosen to reconcile with her past by saving your life and Beth´s. Don’t let her sacrifice make you blame yourself. You know better than anyone that Coraline always done things with a dual purpose. Don’t fall into the trap by turning her memory into your ghost again, don’t forget what you are now. Don’t let her death take you away from what you love the most, my friend. Don’t let her death keep you away from Beth.”
MICK: That could not happen ever. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t hurt by her death. One part of me did feel moved by her sacrifice, but had long since gone. My soul, my body and my life belonged to another woman, the only one I could ever love, Beth. But there was still a barrier between us, eternity.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Josef and Gabriel took the body of Coraline away and Mick let her go out of his life never to return. His past and his darkness went with her. And Coraline gave back to him what once she had stolen, she returned his life to him and his life was Beth.
The funeral was a simple ceremony on the outskirts of the city in a beautiful private garden dotted with strange beautiful alabaster sculptures with classic style that represented men and women in a way so perfect that seemed to come alive amid a paradise of fragrant green velvet with dozens and dozens of white orchids. A true haven of peace and its womb housed the remains of those who once gave up their immortality for love. Coraline was buried beside the remains of Eric, three hundred years after she had paid her debts to the past and now she could return to him. That's what she had chosen with her sacrifice and that's what Gabriel was giving to her as a symbol of forgiveness.
"I guess there are sequences than must be closed before others can begin." Josef whispered as he watched Coraline´s tomb sealed under a beautiful marble image of two separated lovers seeking to eagerly touch their fingers together as they were reunited.
‘Curious ,the visual image one gets of the story behind those who are resting forever under that image.’ The vampire thought and turned to Gabriel and asked. “What will happen now with Mick and Beth?"
"That depends on Mick, although I'm sure he'll find the answer." Gabriel replied and looking at Josef, and added. "But his story will not be the only that will be rewritten." Gabriel extended his hand to Josef and the vampire squeezed it with his hand that was still marked with the burn that the Grigori´s sacred sword had left on his skin. "There are miracles that can still come true." The Guardian said while his blue eyes rested compassionately on Josef. "Thanks." Gabriel whispered and when Joseph looked at his hand again, the horrible scar had faded completely. At that moment Josef looked up in surprise, everything that he had seen before, white orchids, statues, paths of grass, everything, absolutely everything had faded, including Gabriel.
---------------------------------------------------------
The Angel of silver shone on her breast while Mick sat beside her bed watching her dream. She seemed to have recovered from the blood loss and she had no apparent damage to her body, but she was still lost in a strange lifelessness, an eternal dream that kept her away from him despite his need to be close ... why? Mick looked at her sleeping there, in front of him, she was even more beautiful, her golden hair adorned the white purity of her silky skin, her pink lips, plump and perfect that expelled a sweet breath causing a multitude of wishes and he was drawn to it, he want to be so close to her mouth that he could almost feel the caress of her breath on his face. His fingers trembling as the traveled tenderly over the perfect oval of her face and he closed his eyes dreaming of the pleasure he’d feel from the delicious softness of her mouth, mixed with the warmth of her breath. And, for a moment, his lips grew closer and closer until he tenderly brushed against hers. The vampire started to awake, he also wanted her and wanted to love her… but no… he couldn’t love her…he didn’t even know if he should ... perhaps it couldn’t do it anymore and maybe that was his punishment now, forever together and yet always apart.
"Tell me what I must do," Mick buried his face in the sheets, desperate to have her back. He needed her, his Beth.
“The answer is in you and you know it.” Gabriel said in a soft voice."She´s the chalice, but you are too... only you can wake her up. You two are the real prophecy, light and darkness, life and death, two halves of the same coin ... two soul mates who belong to two separate worlds, now united in pure love.”
M: "Pure love." Mick repeated to himself and then remembered what Gabriel had said before he found her. "Beth will wake up when her blood is spilled by an innocent". "And there is nothing more pure then the innocence that encompasses true love." Mick told himself.
- …G: “A love that gives life without asking anything in return, expecting nothing more than that to save someone you love. To us, Guardians, loving is death, but for her and for you, love will be life. You gave your blood for her and she gave hers for you, darkness was fed by light, and the two incompatible worlds became one, first in her and then in you. Now those two halves must become whole and there’s just one way to do it."
Mick again recalled Gabriel’s world. "I´d never let my own vampire blood ..." And then his eyes focused on the silver pendant, half angel, half vampire and the Gabriel’s words came back to his memory. "She would need her two guardian angels."
“Yes.” Mick said with tears in his eyes. “She needs the Angel of Life to protect her and she needs the vampire to awaken.”
Mick turned to Gabriel but found no one there. The Grigori had disappeared or perhaps he had never been there at all. Then he turned to look at his sleeping beauty and remembered the words of his friend Josef. "One of these days you have to accept what you are." That moment had finally arrived, now I knew I had become what I am for her… only her. Mick again caressed the silver pendant Beth wore. "The Angel of Life will protect her from death. He will protect you from darkness, baby."
.......::**&**::........
Mick gently stroked the face of his sleeping beauty that was warm and soft to the touch. He closed his eyes and again smelt her scent that penetrated to the depths of his being, feeling her again, wanting her more than ever. His lips searched hers in a tender touch, soft and delicious. The sweet taste of her mouth made him want to go further and desire started to dominate him until the vampire inside awoke. It was his moment, because of that he kept living inside him. Yes, the vampire kept living for her...only her...and the vampire, who was filled with desire for only her took control. He wanted to take her, he wanted to taste every inch of her and the kiss became more intense, deeper, more passionate and his body also felt the urgency of his desire with an insatiable hunger while her lips were molded by his passion. Oh yes, her delicious mouth which was his, only his.
His fangs erupted brushing against the wet velvet of her mouth and two drops of blood emerged on Beth´s tongue and lips and it slid slowly down his tongue, driving his desire to a point that was uncontrollable. Mick began to drink from her with his kiss, tasting the delicious nectar from those lips which was just for him. The world ceased to exist when he felt her heart beating inside himself like he was coming back to life from the kiss. But she was still asleep.
The vampire looked at her with tenderness and longing while his finger trailed those lips stained with her blood. He needed her to wake up and would do anything to bring her back to him, no matter what. A tear fell from the silver in his eyes, he had to do it, he knew that there was no other way and he needed to do it for her. So he bit his lip and let his blood drip into Beth’s mouth. "Baby, come to me, open your eyes I´m here waiting for you." He whispered and then her tongue began to lap at those drops of blood that he was offering her. Mick felt himself fainting with pleasure when, still half asleep, she sought his touch and began to drink the blood that flowed from his lips.
The vampire's blood mixed with hers and awoke her senses, bringing her back from her dream state, to a new world of sensations and desire while her velvet lips awoke to caress his wound, closing on it to drink the life that he was offering her with a sweet and sensual suction that made him groan of absolute pleasure . His strong arms were around her soft body, pulling her closer to him while they were drinking from one another in that magic kiss until their hearts beat in unison, as one heart. And during that strange communion, lip to lip, blood to blood, he felt her body awaken slowly in his arms, and little by little her warm soft hands began to stroke his arms, traveling on his skin until they reached his face. He heard her sweet moans drowning in his mouth while her delicate arms were tied around his neck pulling him closer, body to body, inch by inch, desire against desire. He smelt the scent of desire that soaked her female body and it was calling to him and he was dying for her. She had come back to him the same way that her blood had helped him in the chamber. "Beth ... Beth!" He called her name, praying that the woman who was trembling with love in his arms, with her blood-stained lips, was still his Beth.
In pronouncing her name softly and she opened her beautiful eyes at last. Mick was lost in the sensual purity of her blue clean gaze that he loved so much, while she stroked his face tenderly, her smile erasing all traces of darkness. "I love you." Her eyes scanned the face of the man who she loved until her eyes gazed upon his mouth. "My angel." Beth whispered as she touched the blood on his lips with her finger. "My vampire.” She placed her finger into her mouth, savoring his rich blood again and then put her lips closer to his until she caressed her wound with his breath "My life." Her voice sounded like a whisper sweet in his mouth and he was again lost in the ocean blue of her eyes while those tempting lips were brushing against his, gentle to the touch like a pair of butterfly's wings. "Oh Beth don´t leave me again, I couldn’t live without you. “
His hungry lips touched hers and an urgent need began to dominate his body and his mind until he thought he would go mad if he didn’t take her at that very moment. Their mouths, hungry for love, captured each others, shouting their desire with each kiss.
Their hungry hands searched to touch each other releasing their nakedness, leaving only skin against skin. She was left wrapped in his manly scent, musky and pungent while her legs surrounded his body and she laid her cheek against his perfect chest, now hot for her. He ran his hand down the perfect softness of her body, following the path of her pulse on her neck with his lips, raining little kisses, breathing her sweet and delicate scent while his hands caressed the small of her back until he clung to her hips, pulling her closer to him. Finally he was on top of her, covering her skin with his body, dying to satisfy his need for her, but he knew he could never get enough of her. She was so delicious, so sweet, so soft and he penetrated her moist warmth that he wanted more than anything in the world. It was like a dream he thought he would never wake up from and yet she was there, she was his forever his, without barriers, without limits, without time. Mick felt her trembling in his arms as his sweet assault on her continued, her soft breathing became moans of pleasure mixed with his, and they both ended shouting each other’s names to the rhythm of their passion in a perfect surrender.
