"So what did I missed?" I asked. "Other besides the fact that you guys got a surprise visit from your brother. Who is by the way...Still rotting in jail." "That's impossible," Bill said. "We all saw him. Right in front of us, as you are right now." "Then he must be using one of his powers," I said as I noticed the shock on Damion's face. "Judging from that look, you know which one I'm talking about." Damion nodded and said. "Lucid Dreaming Projectile."  He continued to looked shocked like he couldn't believe it.  "I can't believe it, he'd mastered it." "Say what now?" I heard Athena say. Bill just stared at us like "I'm just as confused as Athena."  look. 

Damion sighed and said. "Seth has the ability to separate his mind from his body, therefore allowing him to be at multiple places as he wants to without leaving the area that he is in. But it must of took him years to perfect this, because when we were young he had only discovered it." 

"Well, that's great... JUST GREAT!," Bill said angrily as he'd rubbed his head with both of his hands like he just had a big F-- headache. "NOT ONLY WE HAVE NO F--- ARMY! WE CAN'T GET AWAY FROM HIM. CONSIDERING THAT HE HAS THE ABILITY TO LET HIS MIND WONDER WHEREVER HE WANTS. Well, that foils our idea with the pack." 

"I'm sorry Bill, I should've told you before you come up with that idea," Damion said as Bill angrily looks at him and continued to yell. "SORRY! SORRY! GOD LEE DAMION! SORRY DOESN'T EVEN CUT IT. WHAT THE HELL?!! WHERE I AM TRYING TO HELP AND YOU CAN'T EVEN TRUST WITH THAT F--- INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BROTHER!!" Bill paused for a moment, considering he was trying to calmed himself down. "I GET IT DAMION, I REALLY DO GET THAT YOU DON'T TRUST ME, NOT AFTER WHAT I DID TO ARIANA!! BUT BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY, THAT I REALLY AM TRYING TO HELP. TRYING TO MAKE UP FROM WHAT I DID IN THE PAST! But that's not good enough, is it?"  

Damion just stared at him in a way that I can't even believe a vampire can. Shameful. And Bill was just being big bad wolf as he huffs and puffs in a rapid pace. He bends down on his knees in front of Damion. "Please, Please, Damion, Ariana, let me help," He said, grabbing  onto the bottom of Damion's pants. "Please, let me make up for everything that I did to the two of you, by protecting your daughter? Please. Give me a chance." 

I saw noticed that Ariana eyes were watery and saw her mouthered. Bill, like it was a complete surprise to her to him like this. But then again I didn't know what happened to these three, so what do I know, right?  

"Bill, you don't need to prove that you've changed, you already did that when you found our daughter and help me find bring her home," He said. Then he got to Bill's level who was lying there. "You don't own us anything, Bill." "What about Ariana? What does she thinks?" He asked. I watched when Ariana walked closer to them and got down to their level. "Damion's right," She said. "You did changed." "How would you know? I don't feel any different," Bill said. Can't help but to feel sorry for him, unless it's not Bill exactly. "I feel the same as I did back then, Ariana." 

"Because the old Bill, wouldn't even help us at all, he would just go get a bottle of Jack Daniel and allowed Sara suffered. And you didn't, Bill, you didn't." "I'm sorry, so sorry," Bill said shaking his head. "I know it has been years too late, Ariana. But I am so sorry, I shouldn't had hurt you all those years." "Bill, I know that you are, but for both our sakes we need to move on from our past," She said looking directly at Bill. "Is not healthy to carry that anger and guilt with us, Bill." 

She'd touched his right shoulder her new power to flow through his body. Ariana's not only is a witch, she's a healer. And she's healing Bill from whatever's making him feel guilt. Bill groaned as the power continued to race through his body. After a minute or two, her power stopped and Bill felt better. "Wha-What did you just do?" he asked getting to his knees. "What just happened?" 

Ariana just smiled for a bit and giggled like a little girl. "I took your guilt away," She said. "Why?" he asked. "Why did you do that for?" "Because," She said. "You deserved to be free of it. You already proven to us that you are no longer the Bill that we've known for so long. That Bill is gone. You are entirely someone else." 

"Get up, Bill," Damion said giving him a helping hand up. "Come on. You're one of us now." 

Damion

I watched Bill as he slowly grabbed my hand and gets up from the ground. He stood quiet for a minute as he looked at all of us. "Bill?" I said, wondering if he's alright. "I'm fine," He said. Shaking his head. "Just a little surprise, I guess. Considering that I expected that Ariana would just tell me to go to hell." "Bill, haven't you been listening to a word I've said," Ariana stated. Putting her hands on her hips. "I know you are hardheaded, but Geez! I didn't expect you to be someone of a pushover." I couldn't help but to laugh. Although, I had to stop when Ariana shot me her evil eye stare. "We need to move on, Bill," Ariana said. "All of us do." Bill didn't say anything after that. He just nodded in agreement. I was amazed by how the two of them had worked things out, considering they had such a bad history together. Maybe this is what Ariana needed to complete her witch cycle as Bill needed to, in order to complete his own transformation. 

That get me to question if my brother can do the same. But then again. Can you really forgive someone after everything that's happened? After years of anger and fear over your own shadow?
