The sky grew grey over the bloodied and burnt soils of Oakhurst, the war had wravenged the land even after afew weeks the world still smelt of smoke and iron.
Owen was sat on a cobblestone pillar, watching Drift and Shelby talk about something, it was unsure what they were as their words were so rapid paced it wasn't easy to understand.
Abolish climbed up the pillar behind him, the humans movements still to quiet, something Owen got mad at alot, and the butler outfit clad man wrapped a hand around Owens mouth, thumb under the jaw to keep him from biting, and a arm locked around the waist as he forced him down off the pillar.
After abit of undignified dragging and Atleast 48 curses in different languages spilled from the vampires mouth he was placed onto a pyre, rope wrapped around him.
Owen froze up, staring at the wood at his feet, he tugged abit on the rope, it was to tight to move without scraping against his bandaged skin.
Abolish gathered everyone, the ringing in Owens ears blocked out the most of it but some words slipped through, those words being: Vampire, Burn, Massacre, Freedom. All in that stupid lightly gravelled tone abolish seemed to carry like smoke in a still room.
The rocks sparked into some dried pine needles, and were tossed into the fire, Owen, immediately his mind flying back to when his lovely sire was burnt at the stake, started panicking, thrashing and pleading that he'd done nothing wrong, that ofcourse, didn't work at all.
The flames licked higher, since the smoke inhilation wouldn't affect the vampire, the fire sure would, and it burnt, the bandaging he wore over his body immediately catching ablaze and setting his whole body on fire, Owen cried out in pain, his body healing every time a new scratch formed, just dragging out his suffering more.
After around, 8-10 hours, all that remained of Owen was melted clothing, burns, and a dead vampire.
The town cheered, everyone except the doctor, who left after being let go by Cleo.
Legundo took the body out to the burnt forest, digging a grave and tucking the corpse in, burying it and leaving a small rock with a bat carved into the smooth brown material, before finally laying down beside the grave, giving up on the town and chocking himself on the leaves.
