Chapter 5
Nick's alarm went off at 3:45pm, so he had 45 minutes to kill
before he went to The Raven to talk to LaCroix about whatever he
wanted to discuss with him.
He showered, dressed, then went downstairs to have his glass of
bloodwine, then he decided to call Nat at work and he got her on the
third ring.
“Coroner's office.” Nat said.
Nick smiled. “Hey Nat.”
“Hey, what's up?” asked Nat.
“Nothing, it's just I was wondering if I can stop by
later to talk to you?'
“Sure, is there something wrong?”
Nick had to think of something quick, truthful or not.
“No, I'd just like to see you.”
“Ok sure, just come in whenever you want, ok?
“Ok, I'll see you later. Bye Nat.”
“Bye Nick.” And he hung up the phone hoping he
didn't make a fool out of himself.
He looked at his watch and it was now 4:50pm and the sun was
down so he decided to go to The Raven and get this dreaded
conversation with LaCriox over with.
He got into the Caddy, seriously contemplating what to say to
LaCriox. He was not looking forward to talking with LaCriox, he just
hoped it wasn't bad.
He arrived at The Raven ten minutes later, he gave a nod to the
bouncer at the door, he moved his way through the crowd mixing of
vampires and mortals to the bar and asked Miklos, the bartender.
“Where's LaCriox?” “He's waiting for you in
the back, just go ahead.”
“Thanks.” Nick said with a
little nod to Miklos, then headed to the back of The Raven,
very nervous, he stood in front of the door of LaCriox's room.
Finally, after standing there for what felt like forever, Nick
knocked on the door then waited for an answer.
“Come in.” Nick closed his eyes for a moment then
entered the room, LaCriox was standing in front
of the fireplace, with his back to Nick.
LaCriox turned around to look at his son, who was more
interested in the rug then anything. LaCriox smiled at his son.
“Good evening Nicholas.” Nick finally looked up at
his vampire father.
LaCriox, I got your message that you wanted to talk to me.”
“Yes I did. Would you like something to drink while we talk?”
“No thank you because I don't have a lot of time.”
Nick said.
LaCriox looked at Nick and could tell that his son was both
really scared and really nervous. So, LaCriox stared.
“Ok, I'll get to the point. I know about you're strong
feelings towards Dr. Lambert and about what happened after I left the
loft the night you were shot.”
Nick looked at LaCriox with fear in his eyes. LaCroix
continued. “I've known since Valentine's Day Nicholas.”
“So now you know, what are you going to do about it?”
asked Nick, dreading LaCroix's answer.
“Absolutely nothing Nicholas.”
LaCriox almost laughed at the more then shocked look that Nick had on
his face. Nick couldn't believe what he was hearing but he had to
confirm it.
“But what about our bargain?” Nick stood there
hoping what he was hearing was true.
“I still remember our bargain Nicholas, noir will I ever
forget it.” Nick lowered his head, knowing what was going to
happen. “But I always pay my debts Nicholas and I have two too
payback for. The first one to you're beloved Natalie, for saving us
from the sickness that threated our community.”
Nick gave a little smile to that, which didn't go unnoticed by
LaCriox. “And the second to you Nicholas, for saving me from
Divia. So I release you from you debt and I will not harm your mortal
love in anyway.”
Nick just looked at LaCriox, absolutely stunned. “Why?”
Nick asked.
“Because I know if I were to kill Dr. Lambert, you will
either withdraw from us ever further or worst, you will walk into the
sun and I will not allow that to happen.”
Nick's face broke in a great big smile, he couldn't wait to
tell Nat. “Thank you father.”
Before LaCriox could respond, Nick's cellphone went off, he
reached into his jacket and answered. “Knight.”
“Yeah Knight, it's Resse. Like last night we're really
slow so if you want the night off, it's yours.”
“Ok Captain, I'll see you
tomorrow night, thanks captain.” “No
problem.” with that Resse hung up.
“The captain just gave me the night off so I'm going to
see Nat.” Nick said.
LaCriox looked at him and said. “I figured as much, so go
and talk to her and sometime this week, come back here so we can talk
some more.”
“Ok, I've gotta go now.” He turned towards the door
then stopped and looked back. “LaCroix thank you.” Nick
smiled at LaCriox before he left.
LaCriox smiled at the closed door knowing that someday he would
have a granddaughter because Nicholas would not leave her behind or
let her die. It was now a question of when.
If Nick could do cartwheels he would.
He felt more happy now then he ever did in the last 800 years.
He couldn't wait to tell Nat this great news and he wondered
what would happen between them now he'd be able to love her the way
he's always wanted to and hopefully, to make the kind of love to her
the way she deserved to be loved.
