When the moon met the sun (ENGLISH VERSION)

-24- SAVIOR

- BLAIRE'S POV -

I feel as if everything around me is fading away. A loud, almost muffled shot explodes my eardrums in a split second.

A heavy thud sounds from directly in front of me, and my heart races as I see the body of one of the boys sprawled on the ground.

I take a deep breath when I notice it's the body of the enemy.

I'm almost stunned when my eyes dart back and forth between John's lifeless body and the man holding the gun.

- It's been a long time, Blaire.

I sigh as I finally recognize the man approaching us.

Blaire
- How did...?

??
- I knew exactly what he was up to, I couldn't let him kill you like he did your father.

My eyes are wide open. I drop my guard and approach the man, putting my arms around him.

The warmth of his body against mine reassures me, making me feel safer.

Bill and Tom look at us with wide-open eyes.

Bill
- Forgive me for interrupting this tender moment, but... Who are you?

The man, still holding me in his arms, sneers for a moment before speaking.
- I'm Louis, Blaire's godfather.

Bill's eyes open even wider than before.
- Her godfather?

Tom
- Are you the one John wanted to... kill?

Louis nods up and down.
- That's right, this scoundrel was up to no good again. Too bad for him that it reached my ears.

Tom lets out a sigh of relief.

Louis
- So Blaire? Aren't you going to introduce me to your...mates?

I look up at him.
- Yes, of course.

I point to the two boys
- This is Tom and Bill, they're two members of the band Tokio Hotel, and I've been working with them for a few months now. We're working on a new duo album.

Louis nods.
- Ah yes, that's right, your band, some of your songs are on the radio a few times, it's always a pleasure to hear them.

I give him a smile in reply. Louis's big blue eyes move to Tom's face.

Louis
- So, it's you, Tom?
he says as he approaches him, taking two steps forward.

Tom nods.
- That's me.

Louis looks him straight in the eye.
- Did you kill my brother?

I'm wide-eyed, and Tom seems just as shocked as I am.

Tom
- I'm sorry.

Louis
- You're sorry?

Tom
- John had threatened to shoot us if I didn't. I didn't expect such repercussions.

Louis sighs, holding out his hand.
- Under threat from an asshole like that, I can understand how you must have felt at the time.

I let out a sigh of relief. Tom smiles shyly before taking my godfather's hand.

Louis
- You're lucky I came along.

He said, burying his hands in the pockets of his jeans.
