Gerard's covent gathered around the silent distraught couple. Ville's covent stayed together near Sloane. Niccolo and his lackeys stayed behind her.
Gerard stepped towards his brother "Mikey..."
Mikey placed his hands on Gerard's shoulders "Gerard, I'm sorry for never telling you about before. About LeAnge. Please forgive me".
Gerard gave him a meaningful look, "There's nothing to be sorry about. You couldn't help it. Sloane would've killed her eventually. Just promise me you'll watch over the others".
"We'll get you out of this", Mikey swore. "You and Helena. I promise".
Gerard sucked in his bottom lip in regret and pulled Mikey in for a hug. Mikey hugged back with everything he got. Gerard pulled away and went over to Ray.
Ray shook his head, "This can't be happening".
Gerard nodded sadly, "It is. Look after my brother. He's the only one left of my true family".
Ray nodded and extended his hand out to him. Gerard took it and gave it a hearty shake. He let go and patted Ray's shoulder. Bob came over to him and clasped Gerard's hand in a brotherhood shake.
Gerard gave a squeeze before letting go, "Goodbye, Bob".
Then came over to Frank. Neither one of them didn't know what to say. They didn't really get along so well. Not at all.
Frank found something to say, "You know, I always prayed that something bad would happen to you".
Gerard gave a slight nod, "I know you did".
Frank shook his head slowly, "But nothing like this. Not to you and..."
"I know," said Gerard. "I know you love her and you know that I'll never let you have her. I guess Helena became our only mutual ground".
Frank nodded and smiled a little, "Yeah".
Gerard was silent for a moment and then said, "For what it's worth, I never forgave myself for killing your family in a blind rage. Nor do I expect it from you".
Frank just stared at him until Gerard walked away from him. FRank was in complete shock. Gerard never apologized to him about killing his family. He was totally stunned and spleechless.
Gerard finally approached Serafina and Tabatha. He took a breath and said, "Girls, I-"
Both girls wailed in despair. They hugged and kissed Gerard countless times until he gently pushed them away and softly laughed, "Yeah. Well, I guess that says it all".
Finally, Gerard went over and kneeled down to George's eye level. George looked at him and knotted his fingers. They never spoken to each other but Gerard felt like he should say something to the kid.
"George," Gerard began. "You are the first human since I came here to recognize a vampire. That makes you a special individual. Someone that should be close by to watch over us during the day. You're family to us now. Will you watch over my family?"
"I will," George said with a smile.
Gerard smiled back and russled the boy's hair. He got up and watched as Helena said her goodbyes.
Helena said goodbye to Mikey first. She immediatly wrapped her arms around him, "Goodbye, Mikey. You've been like the brother I never had".
Mikey embraced her back and said, "Don't say goodbye. We'll get you and Gerard back". Helena wanted to believe him. She really did.
They let go and she went over to Ray and Bob. Helena took a breath, "I know you're a little afraid of me, Ray. Bob, we never really talked but I still consider you both people I care about and I want to thank you both for everything".
"It wasn't really youI was afraid of," Ray explained. "It was the bloodthirsty demonic you that came out when you get really pissed off. I like you. This you".
Helena laughed a little and then hugged him. She whispered in his ear, "Thank you for trying to talk to Frank".
Ray was surprised. Helena sensed that and smiled to herself. He thought she didn't know that he was trying to talk Frank out of the affair, but she can read his thoughts. One of the benefits of being a vampire's mate.
She pulled away from Ray and Bob tapped her shoulder. She turned to him and he said, "We never talked. That's true, but I always considered you as a surrogate undead sister. Even if you are my master's mate".
Bob pulled her into a powerful hug and squeezed her harder than Mikey or Ray. Maybe too hard, because Helena was whacking his back and coughed out, "Bob! Okay! Let me go while I'm still in one piece!"
Bob blushed faintly in embarrassment and quickly let her go. Helena wobbled a little and cracked her back. Frank went over to her and placed his hands on her shoulders to steady her. Once she was, Helena turned around so she could face Frank.
Helena opened her mouth and then closed it. Then she opened it again,"Frank...um...god, I don't know what to say..." What can you say to your secret lover when your mate is a few feet away?
Apparently, Frank did,"Then let me say it fr the both of us".
He looked over at Gerard with eyes that seem to ask a question. Gerad knew what it was and, even though he hated the idea but knew that it would probably be the last time Frank could do it, nodded once in consent.
Frank smiled and looked back at Helena. He cradled her face with his hands and brought her lips to his. He kissed her with every ounce of love and passion he has for her. Helena responded by lovingly kissing him back, despite the feeling of sweet overwhelment.
He pulled away from her and leaned in to her ear. "I love you, Helena Sheridan-Way. Forever," he whispered.
Helena closed her eyes and put her arms around his shoulders in a gentle embrace. She let go and loked into his eyes. She mouthed the words, "I know, and I love you too, Frank Iero".
Frank's heart swelled within his chest. She said it. She meant it. She loves him. It's probably a shared love she also has for Gerard, but Frank was deliriously happy nonetheless.
Everyone, with the except of Gerard and Ray, was shocked by that kiss.
Serafina and Tabatha approached Helena from behind. Helena turned around and Tabatha stepped foreword. She grabbed Helena's hands and weeped like a newborn baby, "I can't believe this is happening! I can't believe that we have to say-"
"No," Serafina interrupted and placed a hand on Tabatha's back. Her eyes shone with determination. "Don't say goodbye. We'll get you back with us, Helena. Gerard too. We never give up, even when the odds are highly against us".
She brought Helena and Tabatha into a 3-way hug. Tabatha cried even harder. They broke up the hug and tears welled upin Helena's eyes. Serafina gave a tiny bow to her, "My mistress".
Footsteps were coming from behind Serafina. The girls saw that it was Gerard. The girls went over to where the boys are so that Gerard and Helena could have some privacy.
Gerard placed his hands on Helena's arms. He looked into her lovely sea green eyes that are having a hard time holding back tears. He remembered all the times he looked into those beautiful eyes. That first time they were filled with infinite sadness when he cruelfully told her that he turned her into a vampire. When they were burning with hatred when he forced her to killed that truck driver. When confusion and desvastation settled in when she realized she loved him. Hurt when he caught her kissing Frank. But most of all, the times they were shining with desire, happiness, and love. Love for him. How can Sloane take him away from the beautiful eyes he fell in love with after his age of maddening greif?
Helena slowly shook her head in disbelief, "Gerard". Tears were finally coming down her face in long jagged trails.
When she was first brought into Ophelia's Field, she dreamt of the day when she would finally get away from Gerard and go back home to her mother and friends. But now, she couldn't bear to leave him or the others. She grew to love Gerard so much and she feels like her heart was ripping into a million pieces because she's forced to give him up to another woman.
Gerard wiped away a few tears and touched her cheek. Helena hiccupped a sob as he leaned in and brushed against her lips wih his own in a kiss.
This kiss was differant from all of the kisses they shared. This was a kiss of all kisses. From the very first kiss they had an hour after Helena's first kill to the one after they first made love to the kiss that sealed their fate as undead lovers at the ritual. It brought in such meaningful memories. It was a kiss of remembrance.
They pulled apart and Helena looked at Gerard with a softened glance. The alluring eye color returned in her eyes. Gerard sees it and pressed his mouth to hers in a searing kiss. This time they bit each other's lip and them to bleed. They swapped and swirled the blood in their mouths.
Gerard broke the kiss and felt his heart breaking, "Helena...my love. I don't want to leave you".
"I love you," Helena sobbed. "I love you, Gerard Way. I will love you forever and until the next age of eternity".
Gerard let her declaration of undying love sink in and slipped a folded sheet of paper in her hand. "Read it in an hour. I love you, Helena Sheridan".
He finally pulled away from her and solumnly went to Sloane. Sloane hooked her arm around his own. She looked over at Niccolo and said, "Okay. Enough weepy mushy shit. Grab your girl and let's blow this sob fest and hell hole".
