429 Visiting the Shaman (3)

As the group approached Gideon's home, they gathered in pairs with Damon and Talia in front, Maddox and Tatiana next, and Tony and Kalina in the back. 

"Don't fight. OK?", Talia said to Damon to what he looked at her questionably. 

She could feel how tense he was. He definitely didn't want to be here. 

Talia gave Damon's hand a squeeze and smiled. "Thank you for coming with me."

His expression softened. "I will never leave your side, kitten."

Damon's words warmed her heart. Talia knew he meant it and she hoped he will be able to make it come true because the only thing she wanted was for the two of them to be together. Always.

They were a few steps away from the cabin when the door opened, and Gideon emerged. He stood at the door, shirtless, pushing his hair back with his hand and observing six young people with a questioning gaze.

"Shaman Gideon", Talia greeted him first. "We hope we are not interrupting."
