Surreal Reunion

[Kevin Colson]

He stopped to catch his breathe. It had been five years since the night he was transported into a world he only existed in story books. A world filled with demons, angels, vampires, werewolves and so many other creatures. His time spent here was beyond interesting. he managed to make friend he'd never thought he have. Even managed to befriend and figure out that someone who was a living legend in his time was actually his ancestor, and who could argue that fact? They looked exactly the same, moreso now, that he had grown a beard. He enjoyed living in the King Tower. Hannibal was a big oaf, who spewed the most idiotic but hillarious things. Mae was just a sweetheart, who was beautiful, sweet, compassionate and had a temper that even scared him shitless. Of course then there were the others like Zora, Mae's daughter who was just another cutey with a venemous tongue who he knew she got from her mother. And of course the others in that home. There were others who came and went, he didnt really know them but by the looks they gave her, he knew the history must be a bad one. The only time he had been able to speak to them, it was slightly weird because he slowly began to realize she too was his ancestor, and he actually felt kinda bad for her. During his time here, Hannibal and Mae had been training him and he was coming along just fine. He had even become a Vampire hunter, of course he wasnt as good as Hannibal King, but who really was? But he was pretty alright, especially given where he had come from. He started running again, noting he'd never been here before, but the place looked beautiful. He was admiring it, but he knew he didnt have any time. He pulled out his daggers, which had become his specialty. And he threw three of them at the Vampire, until the third one hit him and he fell to the ground. He walked just over to him, and shook his head, he pulled out a silver stake and without another word just staked him right in the heart, watching as he turned to dust.

[Sharidan Colson]

She had the hands of both Lawrence and Patrick. They were walking tot eh meadow where they liked to hide in the grass. She smiled down at her sons, they were her only reason for going on. It had been many years since she entered this world. She had no clue where she was, except it was the past. Since she had been here she had learned that she was pregnant and made friends with the people of the Palace. She still couldn't believe that she as staying in an Elven palace, or that Elves really exsisted. It made things so much more surreal to her. The only thing that would make it better was if Berg was here. But she knew it was impossible. She missed him terribly and there were times when she though she couldn't last another day, but Lawrence and Patrick always made it worth while. She smiled down at her sons as they came out of the tree's and entered the Meadow. She began to hum a song as the boys began to skip away from her. She followed them noting movement from across the meadow. A Man bent over another, from behind it looked like Berg, but she knew it was only her wishful thinking. A small tear slide down her cheek as she turned and followed her sons, makign sure they stayed safe.

He shook his head and then picked up a locket that the Vampire thief had stolen. He pocketed it and took a look around. This place was much different than the other parts of Shadowed Redemption Hollow and he couldnt help but wonder what sorts of creatures resided here. He shook his head and turned quickly when he saw some movement from the grass. He saw two boys who seemed to be playing something and he smiled. He had seen plenty of children during his time here and everytime he did he couldnt help but think of Rachel and Sharidan. The family that was taken from him. He saw one of the kids run towards him, and then yank at his pants, he smiled down at him. "Hey there kiddo."

[Sharidan Colson]

She kept humming following her sons as they hide among the grass, a few times she hid and then jumped out as one ran past her. She smiled and tickled them and watched as they ran off again. She stopped to fix her shoe and smiled when Lawrence ran up to her. She smiled at him and listened as he told her Patrick had ran up to a strange man. She stood up straight and looked around. She saw the man and Patrick and started towards him, "Patrick Bergstein Colson, how many times has mommy told you to not talk to strangers outside of the village?" She came closer then stopped in her tracks as she saw the face of the man.

[Kevin Colson]

"So what's your name little man?" He heard the boy something barely audible and just smiled a bit. He was cute no doubt, and could only wonder how one of his sons would look like, if he ever had one. He sighed a bit, until he heard a woman call out his name, and he instantly moved his head to look at her. Not only had she called this kid a Colson..but a Bergstein Colson, and unless this was some type of cruel joke, if what he had heard was correct that this kid should be his...but the voice...the voice was what struck him and as she came into view he just remained still.

[Sharidan Colson]

She stood there for a long time just staring in wonder. But the moment she felt Lawrence tugging on her skirt she snapped out of her reverie. She started to speak but her voice had went dry, finally after many attempts she spoke, "Kevin? Is it really you? Because if this si some cruel joke I'll probably never get over this." She bent down and picked up Patrick and placed him on her hip. She smiled slightly at him and then looked back at the man, hoping that it just wasn't some trick.

[Kevin Colson]

"Dan" He said in awe. She looked more beautiful now than ever and he'd always found her beautiful. Her voice was like an angel's voice, and he smiled. This was probably a dream, but if it was, he was going to live it to it's fullest. He nodded slowly, and looked at the other little boy tugging at her and he imagined she had twins. "Yeah, it's me, Dan. And I guess the little ankle biters are...our sons?.."

[Sharidan Colson]

She looked at Berg and another tear slide down her cheek. She wasn't sure what to do, it had been so long since she had seen him, and she imagined that so much had changed, he had even changed. And maybe since he might have thought they would never see each other he had moved on. She shook her head and mummbled a no to herself. She didnt believe he would do that. She looked at him and stepped forward slightly, "Yes these are our sons. Patrick is the mischiveous one, and this one is Lawrence." She knelt down and placed Lawrence on the ground, she motioned for Patrick to come to her and she pulled a picture out of a pocket and showed it to them, "Do you boys remember who mommy said this man was?" She smiled as they both nodded and said daddy. She looked at Berg and then at her sons, "Well look at the picture and then at that man." She gave them the picture and watched them as they stuidied it then Berg.

[Kevin Colson]

He smiled. He couldnt believe it, she was there. Sharidan was there, and she had two boys with her. Those were her sons..his sons...their sons. This couldnt be true yet it was. And watched Patrick and Lawrence as they made eye contact with him, and then he watched as Patrick came towards him. He smiled a bit, as he opened and closed his little head and said, 'daddy,' his smile grew wider. He watched Lawrence for a bit then turned back to Patrick. "So they're our sons." He laughed. "Patrick and Lawrence Colson. Never thought...I'd ever see the day.."

[Sharidan Colson]

She stood and nodded, "Yes, I found out that i was pregnant after I arrived in this place. They were the only things that kept me going. And Kept me sane during the times that I had to endure Lucifer's constant appologising." She thought about Lucifer a moment, and how they ahd formed a slight friendship. It wasn't to teh extent that it once was but they were the only ones from there world that she knew of and the only reminder of home. She smiled when Patrick started to walk towards Berg, "He is curious just like his daddy. Lawrence on the other hand.." She reached out and ruffled Lawrence's hair, "He is a bit shy." She looked down a moment then back at him, "How have you been Kevin?"

[Kevin Colson]

"That Pri-..." He stopped himself in mid-word because he saw his sons were still there. "Glad to see something kept you sane. And kids do that." He smiled a bit and watched Lawrence's shyness, then he looked down at Patrick who was tugging at his shoe. "Well I've been alright considering. I didnt know anyone here, but I made some friends. So it's been alright I suppose. Never stopped thinking about Rachel or you, though." He sighed a bit wondering what was his daughter's fate.

[Sharidan Colson]

She snorted a bit and then smiled, "Yes, that and alot of help from the Elves. I don't have nightmares anymore either." She bit her lip thinking about the last meeting they had, "The Elven Prince did something to stop them. He was really nice about them waking him up at first and then helped get rid of them." She watched Patrick and smiled broader, "I'm glad you found friends. It took me forever to trust anyone. I talked to Lucifer some at first but thats it. And I wrote you." She blushed slightly, "I didn't think i'd ever get to see you to give them to you, but thinking about you helped some. I have mis-" She stopped when she saw Patrick pull his leg back, she started to grab out for him but tripped over Lawrence who was hanging on her leg. She fell to the ground and turned herself over and grabbed Lawrence because he was now crying.

[Kevin Colson]

"Elves? Arent they supposed to be storybook creatures?" He looked around. "Yeah, forget that last statement. For the last five years I've been living with Vampires and Demons, and not to mention the Werewolves, Fallen Angels, Mages, you name it, I've seem them. This is pretty awesome, especially now that I've got my family....most of them..." He felt something against his leg and saw Patrick there and knew the kid had kicked him. "Damn he packs a strong leg." Before he could do anything else he saw Dan hold Lawrence and he hurried over to them. "You okay?"

[Sharidan Colson]

She looked up and smiled, "Elves just keep to their selves mostly. Earnur and Arioch told me much about The Elves and Fallens. And Ireth the Queen she told me even more about the other creatures. We just choose to ignore them in our times." She knew who he was talking about and she sighed, "IS it to much to hope she is here too? If your here and I'm here, and Lucifer's here, is it possible that she is here?" She looked at Lawrence and kissed his forhead and then set him on the ground, wtaching as he ran over to Patrick and high fived him. She laughed and then looked at her knees, "Yeah I'm fine Kevin. Just the usual clumsiness."

[Kevin Colson]

"Wait...I must be losing my mind. There's an Elven Woman living where I live. She stays mostly to herself, I've been told it's because the race thinks their better than everyone else, and in all honesty, with what you just said, it pretty much sounds true. But I'll have to thank them for taking you guys in." He watched the kids and just shook his head, laughing. "Yep, they're my kids alright. He turned to help Sharidan up. "I've been told a lot about the people who live here, mostly the ones Mr. King refers to as Shiteaters'." He started laughing because no one would understand unless they lived with Hannibal. "I'm glad though, things have gone well for you guys, although I found myself the luckiest out of the bunch cos I ended up on the best place in this earth." When he heard what she said, he didnt know how to answer because he was unsure, so he just nodded.
