Before it became The Fellowship of the Sun they were just a church that hated illegal immigrants, members of the LGBT community, and anyone that didn't fit their image of what was Christian.
I awake still in the basement of the church and the only thing that seems to have changed is the new occupant pacing along the cage wall. He seems to be too upset to notice my attention on him.
"Hello, who might you be?"I say and he gasps as he turns toward me.
"You're awake! Are you ok? I tried waking you up earlier but you weren't responding!" the boy says as he flutters around me nervously. "Oh right, my name is Milo. That big guy Gabe threw me in here a little while ago."
"Hello Milo, my name is Godric. I have not been harmed since I arrived here so there is no need for you to worry about me." I said to ease the boy's worry.
"Well, how long have you been down here?" Milo asks still concerned.
"I have been in this cage for a week," I say and Milo's cheeks flush in anger.
"A week! How dare they! I knew they were homophobic bastards but I never thought they would go this far! Kidnapping people just because you hate who they are is a new low!" Milo yells and this makes me confused. Kidnap, and what do homosexuals have to do with this situation?"
"I'm sorry, but I think you are misunderstanding my situation. I wasn't kidnapped. I volunteered myself." I interrupt Milo's rant and he looks at me in disbelief and then another emotion I can't seem to recognize.
"Volunteered?" Milo asks and then gasps. "Oh no, don't tell me this is like an extreme version of conversion therapy?"
I do not know what conversion therapy is but I still don't think Milo is understanding me. "I still think you're mistaken I am here because I am a vampire." I wait for Milo to scream, to run away in fright, to do anything really.
"Is this like a vampire conversion therapy then because I don't think you can change back no matter how much you might wish to." Milo says with an empathetic look on his face.
Empathy. That's what I couldn't recognize as who would be truly empathetic to a vampire. I stare at him in surprise, "I just told you that you're trapped in a cage with a vampire that hasn't eaten for a week and you're worried about my well-being?" I laugh incredulously at this human.
"Well yeah now that you've told me it's pretty obvious that you're a vampire. I mean you're inhumanly cold, you haven't been breathing, and you've got this glow around you." Milo says pouting
"And yet you still sit next to me," I say.
"I've gone through conversion therapy and that's a hell I wouldn't wish on anyone. Vampire or not." Milo says seriously
"I do not know what conversion therapy is but that's not what I am here for," I tell him.
"Well, what are you here for?" Milo asks back to his goofy self.
"They would have taken a vampire anyway so I offered myself. I had hoped they would be willing to talk to me." I smiled bitterly at the ground in front of me.
"Well, that was a completely stupid idea destined to fail."
