The worst was relizing that Iโd lost him for nothing because heโd been rght about all of it-- vampires, my parents, everything. Heโd told me my parents lied. I yelled at him for it. He forgave me. He told me vampires were killers. I told him they werenโt, even after one stalked Raquel. He told me Charity was dangerous. I didnโt listen, and she killed Courtney. He told me vampires were treacherous, and did I get the message? Not until my illusions had been destroyed by my parentsโ confession.
Claudia GrayVic bears you no ill will. He is outside drinking the Dew of the Mountain and will be glad to see you yourself again" Ranulf said to Lucas.
Claudia GrayIt was as if something snapped in two deep inside me. My parents-- the people Iโd loved the most in the world, the ones Iโd always told all my secrets to, the ones Iโd wanted to hide with far away from the rest of the world. They had lied, and I couldnโt imagine why. It couldnโt possibly matter why.
Claudia GrayIf you loved someone, you couldnโt let lies come between you. No matter what happenedโeven if youโd already lost each other foreverโyou owed each other the truth.
Claudia GrayYouโre strong enough to stand up to anyone. Smart enough to do anything you want. Donโt sell yourself short; donโt be afraid of what your new life is going to offer. Because I knowโif thereโs any justice in this world, good things are going to come to you. Better things than you ever dreamed.
