"I'm a fucking angel? I thought I was a banshee?" I cry getting up 

"I know you have some qualities of a banshee but it's been seen before with Angels who can't control their powers but the fact you are half human may make it harder for you to learn" he whispers "Your sister she's a fairy" 

"How do you know all this?" I cry 

"One of the fairies Claudine told me." he says and I sigh biting my nails 
.
"I was there too. Claudine told me you would take my light." I reply and he nods 

"She's afraid for you, and with good reason. Every supernatural l have ever met... believes angels were banished from earth and faes were wiped out of existence by vampires." he replies 

"Oh, fuck me." I say taking a seat 

"Why do people think they were wiped out by vampires? And if you don't tell me the truth, Bill Compton, l swear to God l will know it." I whisper 

"According to legend... angelic blood is delectable and intoxicating to vampires. So the legend states God brought them back up to be with him to protect ya'll and the legends not wrong  Yours is the most delicious blood I have ever tasted. That's all l know. I believe having your blood... is what allowed me to get to whatever dream state where l met Claudine." he states 

"I'm pretty sure Claudine hated you in that other place. Why would she tell you anything at all?" I whisper 

"I told her my only intention was to protect you." he states and I sigh 

"If-- If my blood is so delicious, does that mean your feelings for me are based on--?" I ask 

"No. Oh, it definitely drew me to you at first. But we grew into something much deeper. You must know that. You see the difference between the way l look at you and the way Eric and Russell do. Megs, it is not your blood l love. I love you. Your mind, your heart, your soul. I will forswear ever feeding on you again... if that's what it takes to convince you of that. You have brought light back into my life... and hope and gratitude. That is why l love you. Nothing else." he whispers. Later that night I went to bed with Bill sitting next to me. But when I awaken he's gone 

Outside 

And I quickly walk outside hearing Eric and Bill arguing when I get close enough I hear Eric growl at Bill 

"Well, why don't you tell Meghan the fucking truth, if you really love her?" Eric states 

"What truth?" I say and they both look in my direction before turning back to glare at each other 

"The truth about what you are, which l've already told you." Bill states and I almost laugh 

"Why are you here? To pretend like you care about my safety... so you can sell me out to Russell again, or is it to the Queen this time?" I ask crossing my arms and Eric looks at me 

"You really believe he is trustworthy?" he asks and I roll my eyes 

"All I know is l sure as hell can't trust you. And now that l know what I am and what you want from me... l can promise you will never get it." I state 

"Well, do what you want. I won't be around much longer anyway.
I wish you the best, Meg's Stackhouse." he says tilting his head to look at me one more time before he disappears and Bill quickly rushes me back inside I sit watching the TV and it's all over the news about how the king ripped out the news anchors fucking heart on TV. When I hear the door open I swing around to see Jason and Tara walk in covered in blood 

"What the fuck happened" I cry 

"Nothing, what are you doing here?" he asks but I watch as Tara storms pass me and I quickly sprint to her
