Reuniting Tornedalians

"I don't suppose me telling you how much you're needed here would change your mind?" She asked him.

"Not right now," He replied honestly.

"Okay, I'll save that for when we are sober."

"Mm," He hummed, adding quietly. "It's my fault he's dead."

"Don't blame yourself, I should have seen the signs, I'm a werewolf for crying out loud."

"What signs were there? I didnt see any."

"Being withdrawn, a different scent, things a wolf should pick up on."

"I wasn't even there to hold him," Christopher almost whimpered; broken. "He must of been so scared."

"I can't say anything to ease your mind...But if it helps, the first change there is a little voice bringing comfort, our werewolf side can have conversations with out human side...So he wasn't really alone."

"Oh so the thing that killed him spoke to him, wonderful, yeah that really helps."

"I'm trying," She told him, and she sighed. "Look, I wish I could have saved him too, but we didn't know this was going to happen, we can't blame ourselves."

"But I did! I did that why I was going to put a bullet to him!"

"Look, instead of blaming yourself, blame me, I told you to let that vampire bitch try."

"I shouldn't of trusted it."

She sighed slightly, downing the rest of her drink.

Christopher refilled both of their glasses.

Michelle smiled when they got to the end of the line. "Ready?"

He nodded.

Koby woke up as she left the room.
