Outsiders (DBH Connor x vampire!OC)

Chapter 30

Faith is barely inside when she gets hugged by someone. The body feels familiar. Connor.

"I'm sorry," she whispers, hugging him back. "I freaked out and I couldn't think."
"You're back, and that counts. Fowler convinced Perkins to give you until tomorrow evening. You are off duty to gather everything you need."

"I'll bargain that you get a free day too. I don't want to leave our bed, cuddle you until I won't be able to forget about it, no matter what."

She feels his smile on her head, where he presses his lips.
"Gavin has to be told about you. Fowler made sure the watch team will be Hank, Gavin, captain himself, myself, and the Jericho leaders. That way only limited people know about you."

She nods and closes her eyes before slowly letting go of him to face the others.
Seeing the worried looks of the aforementioned people make her feel guilty.

"I didn't think. I couldn't think." She says as an apology.
"I think we can relate." Simon tells her.
She nods before looking at Gavin.

"Remember I told you that I wouldn't tell you something about me until I had to."
He nods.
"You heard about me needing to go undercover."
Again, he nods.
"I have to go to my coven, not a witch one. They are behind the killings. They want me back. Their leader, a sadistic fuck, has taken a liking in me.  I escaped. Fowler found me. Saved me."
Gavin looks confused.

"That's the backstory of what is happening. The things you'll hear, would shock you more if you don't know what I am, what they are. It will still shock everyone that hears.
I'm a vampire. And no this is not some sick kind of joke."

She looks at Gavin, who seems to pale.
"We have been working together for years. You know who I am. This will not make me be someone else. Now, if you would all excuse me, I'll take my leave now. I'll be hear tomorrow around 4pm for the briefing. I will not look the same. After the briefing and microphone implant I will prepare and get into the necessary role."
Without waiting for an answer she turns around.

"I'm taking Connor with me." She pulls him along, to the car. He doesn't protest.
"I'll take the necessary things from New Jericho to my house. I need the privacy."
"Of course. I'll help you pack."

As soon as she parks the car, the two get out. In her room she starts packing, Connor helps. Taking some bloodbag, she ends her packing.

The two walk back to the car and Faith drives back to her house.

"I'll have to clean, real quick. I haven't been there for too long."
"Don't worry about cleaning. Josh and North took turns keeping the place cleaned."
That surprises her.
"I'll thank them once I am back."

She parks the car in her garage and takes the bags upstairs.
Connor was right, everything looks like she just left this morning.
As quick as they can, they unpack before changing into comfortable clothing and cuddling close together on the sofa with a movie playing on the television.
