“Come and find me when you’re done.”

“I’m sorry. I’ll see you soon.”

[undeadsavera]

“It’ll fade with time. I’ll let you finish your workout.”

“I can’t get her face out of my head. I don’t know how to fix it.”

[undeadsavera]

“No. Some things are worth protecting at all costs.”

“So I’m a failure then. I can’t be what you need me to be….. I….I’ll try. I’ll get better at it. Everything’s difficult the first few times, I can get this too.”

[undeadsavera]

“Yes, I can. Things are different now. Hunters showed up on our doorstep and killed one of our oldest.”

“Please don’t be sorry. I won’t make this same mistake twice.”

“Karlisle’s the soldier. That’s how you raised us. You can’t just change it now and expect it to work out. I’m not a solider.”

“She’s not wrong, just dead. And part of my potential soul is dead with her. According to her, anyway. She feels right. I’m sorry I’m not stronger than this. I’m sorry I’m not handling this better. I’ll work on it.”

[undeadsavera]

“Mentally stronger. Things like this shouldn’t destroy you. She was a hunter from one of the most prominent hunting families here, and if we hadn’t caught them first in the woods that day, she would have killed my family and destroyed our haven. In days of battle, you can’t afford to think like that. You have to think like a soldier.”

“She isn’t wrong. If any one of us here has a soul, it’s you.”

“What do you need me stronger for? How am I not strong enough? I’ll kill for you, I’ll do anything and everything I can to keep you safe. Yes, I can be soft and I care about people too much sometimes, but that can be a strength too, not necessarily a weakness.”

“She mentioned, when she knew it was going to happen, that she thought every time somebody killed someone, a part of their soul died with them. It was the first time someone’s thought I even had a soul.”

[undeadsavera]

“You aren’t, you never have been. I needed you stronger, Des. I thought.....this clearly was the wrong move. I should have tried to protect the goodness in you, not squash it. You’re the light of my existence. I’m sorry.”

“She didn’t have to die. And definitely not by me. And in case you’ve forgotten, we’re both cold blooded killers too. Yeah, well, I guess you didn’t know me as well as you thought you did. I asked not to do it and you didn’t listen so I did it because I love you. I’d never ask you to do something you were against, though.”

[undeadsavera]

I just wanna be happy.

[undeadsavera]

“She was going to die anyway, whether you did it or not. She was a cold blooded killer. I thought it would make you stronger.”

.”I told you I didn’t want to do it. You knew how I felt about it and you still asked. I just don’t understand why. You weren’t in danger, her death wasn’t necessary. She was just a kid.”

[undeadsavera]

“Is it ever going to go back to how it was? Do you ever plan on forgiving me?”

“You’re right, I’m sorry. What’d you want to talk about?”

[undeadsavera]

“You’re always a little busy now. I’ve been waiting. I’ve been patient.”

“I’m a little busy. Can it wait?”

[undeadsavera]

“Can we talk?”

[undeadsavera]

“Fine.”

“I should go. Get her or something.”

[undeadsavera]

“Perfect.”

“O–okay.”

[undeadsavera]

“This is what I require.”

“Savera, please. She’s only a kid.”

[undeadsavera]

“You can do this. I believe in you, mon cœur.”

[undeadsavera]

“Kill the second in command.”

“But…you’re not in danger. They’re not doing anything to you.”

[undeadsavera]

“Remember all those times I asked if you’d kill for me? Now’s your chance to prove your word.”

“Excuse me?”
