The New Borns

A Drop in the Ocean

Episode One - Season Premiere

"Cute baby." A waitress walks over and places a plate of scrambled eggs in front of Josef.

"Thank you, hard to believe the little guy is almost two weeks old." Josef patted Lazarus' head.

"How adorable! What's the little guy's name?" She asked.

"Bård, it's Norse for battle." Josef grinned.

"What an unusual name, I love it. Well you and Bård have a lovely day." The waitress walked off.

"Oh don't worry, we will." He chuckled.

‡The New Borns‡

Hazel stood back, staring at their wooden caskets that Syndrick had made. It was hard for her to accept that all the people that she loved had died.

Alice was a foe at first, well for a while, but she seemed to have converted. She was starting to fit in, sorta. Her snarky comments lightened the mood and her badass attitude gave courage to others.

Nora was just a witch trying to save her brother's power. After he converted to vampirism, she helped the group and was a supportive friend.

Aerik was Gretchen's first true love and a great addition to the friendship. He was always going against incipio beliefs to help the Corridors.

Gene was Hazel's one and only project. He was loving and loyal to her. She couldn't remember once where he didn't show compassion. He was there when she found out that Lazarus was a boy.

And Gretchen, she would be the hardest to let go of. They had been friends for as long as she could remember. They used to dress up and have tea parties together. They used to have sleep overs together. Now all that was left were the memories.

The caskets sit on the edge of Salsburg's quarry, below was water. Roak, Valeska, Godrick, and Syndrick walk up behind Hazel. The five of them wear funeral apparel, but Valeska wear a little more white than black.

"Any words?" Hazel asked them.

Valeska walked in front of the other Corridors and cleared her throat.

"If you had asked me a year ago how I felt about these people, I probably would've asked you if you wanted to help me murder them." Valeska begins.

"You are aware this is a funeral of some sort, right?" Godrick asked Valeska.

"Well it's a pathetic funeral. All the attendees are vampires. But I am aware, just let me finish." Valeska says.

"Okay." Hazel nods.

"But after experiencing things with them-- after learning about them, I learned to love them. I cannot stress how much these people will be missed, even Alicianna. In my eyes, these individuals are heroes for their acts of valor. I don't know if I personally believe in a higher power or heaven, but I'm sure they're in it." Valeska began to tear up.

Hazel walked over and hugged her. Then the boys walked over and joined in. Hazel couldn't help but enjoy this. She was spending time with her family, not the Wilsons or the Tellers, but the Corridors.

"Is it time?" Syndrick asked Hazel.

"It's time." Hazel backed away.

Each Corridor except Hazel picked up a casket and tossed it into the water. Luckily they weighed them dow. So they wouldn't float to the surface.

"Now what?" Valeska asked, staring at the boxes sink.

"Now we kill Josef and save Lazarus." Hazel answers.
