PARADISA

[After Hesam had talked to Alan and Sam, he figured it was time to get the awkward and potentially embarrassing part out of the way and get a filter into the journal]

[ Filtered to anyone that came in contact with Hesam while he was a child ]

Uh, hey. If you can see this, I just wanted to uh, thank you for looking out for me or being easy on me when I was a kid. My name's Hesam, by the way. The Castle had me on a loss for, well, a long time. But I'm back to normal now I think and I just really appreciate what you all did for me.

I owe you one.

Ianto's gone.

He left like Cupid did, and all my other friends. I don't want them to go away!

Why'd he have to go too?

[kid!Hesam is still around so there's probably some sniffles amongst the words too]

[Peter Petrelli]

Peter! Peeteeerrr!

I made you something!

[Hesam had been trying to pretend he didn't exist for the most part of the past month, trying not to feel too much like a crap friend to those he still cared about in this place. But as far as he was concerned, living hermit-style was better for everyone involved. He wouldn't have to deal with losing more friends and he would prefer to be traumatized by possible future vampires in his own new place instead of inside the Castle where someone he knew would walk in on his weak wibbly ass and never be able to look at him the same way again.

Plus, the bonus to staying cooped up alone in his own place meant nobody could judge him for the drinking. Or the pining he was finding himself doing.

Of course, he had completely underestimated Paradisa's ability to ruin all his plans.

Naturally, the one time he decides to leave his home and crack open the journal to try and catch up on what's been going on outside his door, there's a light and a disturbing sensation under his skin.]


What the--oh dude, no way. This better be my ticket back to Mercy and not a--UGH!!


[If anyone goes looking for Hesam they'll find him a whole lot shorter and younger, not too far from the Castle.]
