Godric awakes for the day and sees Milo once again pacing. "What has you pacing every time I wake up little one?" Godric asks.
Milo turns to Godric with a sigh of relief and wipes the tears from his eyes.
Godric's smile fades from his face and turns to a look of anger. A dark hand shape bruise is forming on Milo's neck. Godric speeds over and tilts Milo's head up to get a closer look at the bruise.
"What happened Milo?" Godric demands to know who hurt him while he was dead to the world.
"I just mouthed off to Gabe and Steve, but that's not important right now. They told me they were going to burn us and some other people in the morning! We have to get out of here!" Milo says urgently grabbing Godric's hand that still sits on his neck.
"I know," Godric says softly
"You know? What do you mean, you know, Godric?" Milo asks confused.
"I know they intended to burn me at sunrise. I didn't know that they would have others suffer with me."
"I don't even know what to say to that, but we don't have time. We need to get out of here!" Milo starts to tear up.
"I'll help you and whoever else they trapped escape, but I'm staying. I'm ready to burn Milo." Godric slides his hand up from Milo's neck to his cheek and wipes the falling tear away with his thumb.
"Godric stop saying that, you don't deserve to burn! Come with us!"
"I've already decided Milo. It is my time." Godric says looking down at Milo's teary eyes.
Milo pulls Godric's hands away from his face and wipes his own tears away angrily. "Why these people Godric? They won't even understand or appreciate your sacrifice."
Godric sighs, "They would have taken someone to punish and I have killed innocents. Why not let them punish me, as I am a monster over 2000 years old."
"That's not a good enough answer for me Godric!" Milo glares at Godric.
"Why does it matter to you little one? Once I help you escape you'll never see me again." Godric asks adorably confused.
Milo huffs at his genuine confusion, " Well if my rescuer is going to be a suicidal idiot then I'm going to remember everything about these two days so I can continue to thank you when you're gone. Including your dumb ass reason for dying."
"It's not a stupid reason Milo. I enjoyed the bloodshed I caused I was called death by all those who knew me. I was a monster." Godric says frustrated at Milo for not letting him go, for not accepting the fact that he was a dangerous monster who needed to pay for what he's done.
"You said 'was' that time."
