Dreams are such a nice things. They keep you hoping that everything will be better one day.
That you will have your happyly ever after.
,Yeah right like that would ever happen to him.´ Methos snorted into his third glass of schotch. ,Universe hates him too much to let him have that. Must be all that rapping and pillaging while he was a Horseman. Karma really is a bitch.´
It would be nice to have famyli of his own and not just crush at his friends couches for a week or two and then move out and wander around globe alone.
But that short fight with two unknown imortals opened his eyes. This was his life for the last five thousand years and no matter how much he wisched it would never change. He would allways be in danger and along with him would be all who he hold dear. He couldnt expose gentle woman like Julia or eight years old boy to that. He cared for them too much to let that happen to them.
Methos remembered her tears when he told her that they have to call of the wedding but when he explained her his reasons she told him with sad smile that she underwood why he throught this was for the best and that they would be waiting for him when he felt that its save to return to them.
Empty glass with just ice left in it started to chill his fingers. Methos put it aside onto coffe table with disgust. His first plan was to get really really drunk to forget how empty his apartmen looked with just packed boxes prepared for movers to ship them to storage next morning .So empty withount Julias´s things and little Joseph´s toys laying everywhere. But maybe getting drunk wasn´t such a good idea in his state of mind.
Instead of getting him relaxed it started to get him even more depressed that before.
,Watch out old man or you will became more broody that certain stubborn Scoth.´
Thinking of highlander made him feel a little bit better.
Maybe another visit was in order it allways increased his mood to get rise from Duncan. For a four hundret years old he was really easy to pester. Even when Joe was no Langer his watcher and didn´t know where Duncan was he could easily hack into the Watcher Database and find out where to look for him.
With decision made Methos took almost emty bottle from table and pored himself rest of it lifting it to mocking toast.
..To the pipe dreams, may they rest in peace´´
His woice echoed through empty room even when he just whispered them. The deafening noice of his own voice made him cringe.
Definnitly time to get out of here.
