24. Alone Together

Angelica stood there sobbing as she wrapped her arms around Julius in a constricting manner. Oddly enough, she found his presence somewhat comforting. Even though she currently resented him. She resented him. Unfairly. She knew deep down that he did everything he could. Even in the end it didn't resolve anything. The main thing she currently worried about was her family. What would happen to them in the absence of their home?

Those thoughts and more continued to race through her mind as she continued to sob into Julius' chest.

Julius gently patted her back as he stood there his heart hurting for the young vampire. He continued to stand there in the sobbing unease as he let his mind slowly wonder for a long moment. Wonder to thoughts he had long before he had been turned. Thoughts of being able to love someone to hold dear to himself.
