A hush falls over the crowded party as Isabel drags in Hugo and drops him in front of a sitting Godric and Milo. "This is the one who betrayed us"
"He is your human is he not?" Godric asks dropping the smile he had when it was just him and Milo talking.
"Yes, but you are my sheriff. Do with him as you will." Isabel bows her head to him
"Very well." Godric glamours Hugo, "Why did you betray this nest?"
"I want to live forever. Young and beautiful with my Isabel. I changed everything about myself in order to accommodate her life but she wouldn't turn me. She owes me at least that much for all I've done for her." Hugo says in a dazed tone.
Godric turns his head to Milo, "What do you think Milo? You were a victim of the church's hatred as well, what do you think Hugo's punishment should be?"
Milo thinks about it and says, "Let him live."
The outspoken members of the nest all voice their protests, calling Milo weak and questioning why Godric would even ask the human in the first place. Godric raises his hand and everyone falls silent once again. "Go on little one"
"Let him live knowing that because of his betrayal, no one here will ever turn him. They can spread his name and face among all their connections and so on. He'll never find a vampire willing to change him and he will die alone, old, and ugly. Exactly what he didn't want." Milo explains
Everyone is shocked and a little impressed. "It will be done. Escort him from my nest." Godric orders. Hugo gets dragged out of the room and the party slowly starts up again. Godric is going to talk to Milo once again but Milo interrupts him.
"Excuse me," he says and flees to the bathroom. Milo stands at the sink splashing water on his face. "Okay, that was intense. Just calm down, Godric is probably out there thinking you're afraid of him or something." He sighs and walks out of the room.
"Everyone my name is Luke McDonald. I'm a member of the Fellowship of the Sun and I have a message from Reverend Steve Newlin."
Milo makes eye contact with Godric from behind Luke and it all goes black
