VNFallen - That One Last Hope || Egrid & Quentin
@wolfwandering
It was with a heavy heart that Egrid left Sophie to her grim task; well, a heavy heart and some relief. They didn’t want to watch the light fade from Isaac’s eyes, nor the young girls who’d need to go through the same trial. His pace wasn’t exactly swift, almost weighed down by what was going to happen. But Sophie had said it would work, it had to work, he needed to keep that hope. Hope was what had sustained him the last few years and now it was finally coming close; the coven would come back, he could have a place amongst them and all would finally be well.
Reaching his worn-down car Egrid drove a street or two away from the cemetery, not wanting to make it too obvious that he was acting as a kind of guard, but the car was too stifling so moments after parking up he stepped out and settled on looking up at the stars; he wasn’t religious by any stretch but right now Egrid was all buy begging the universe itself to see this plan work. He deserved it. Those children deserved to come back. But a niggling thought at the back of his mind reminded him that people were so often denied what they deserved.
He was brought out of his thoughts by the sound of someone approaching and turned to face them, hands clasped in front of him and his expression calm, if a little forlorn, he would not be shaken now.
