Larten sat on the edge of the bed, beside the unconscious Sylvia, worried as hell.He sat there, thinking about his life, his past, his mistakes, stuff he regretted....but most of all....his decisions.He thought about the first man he'd murdered, when he was just a youth, his best friend that that man had mercilessly taken the life of, he thought about how he'd met Seba, his mentor, then how he'd met his brother-in-bond, Wester, the Hall of Final Voyage, the life-changing task he was assigned there....He thought about the break-away clan for rebellious, young vampires, called The Cubs, that he'd joined, he thought of The Lady of the Wilds (Evanna), how he earned his scar....He also thought about Malora, the girl he'd taken as an assistant, and how she'd ended up dead, because of him....He thought about the palace of ice, the baby-boy, Gavner, but most of all, his thoughts were filled with the face of a single person....Alicia....(Oh,man, I never realised I can write such cheesy stuff!!Wait 'till you hear the next bit! xD)
He cuddles up next to her in the bed (reminder-she's unconscious) and buries his head in her chest, then starts to talk to himself, since she can't hear him anyway. Note:This is probably the cheesiest bit I've written in the book so far, so please bear with me. So, where was I? Oh, yes, he starts talking....First, he thinks about how sad he is that he let Alicia fall in love with him, since he knew even back then that love isn't meant for vampires....unless they're rich, obese, cowardly creatures, like that cursed Tanish Eul, he could have any woman head-over-heels in love with him because of his money....but that wasn't real love...."Not like the love I have found...."Larten whispered, the launched into a long speech, which I find seriously cute, but others might think differently, so I'm not gonna go into massive detail.
He talks about all the stuff he regrets doing, especially meeting Alicia and proposing to her, letting her fall in love with him, even though she didn't even know his real name (he was using Vur Horston for cover back then).He didn't truly love her but he wanted to make her happy....he believed his own lies....but nonetheless, they were lies and that realisation soon came crashing down on him, ruining everything, just like lies always do....he told Alicia the truth about what he was, and his heart broke into a million pieces when he saw her expression as it dawned on her that the man she loved was a liar, and even worse than that....a vampire....she hated herself for ever having loved him and he hated himself for ever having let her....(note-this is what he said, so I'm practically quoting)then he says that there is stuff that he doesn't regret, like meeting Sylvia, marrying her and having kids with her.He whispered to her that he loved her while sobbing at his sad memories.Suddenly, he felt something touch his head, and before he had the chance to look up, Sylvia whispered back that she loved him too. (xDD, I sound like I got that outta some black-and-white, corny romance movie! and low-and-behold, there's still more!)
He looks up at her with a smile and asks her whether she'd heard what he said, and she nods, saying that she heard every word.Then she starts sobbing and says she's sorry.Larten -confused- asks her why she's apologising, and she says because she didn't know he'd been engaged before, and that she'd taken his life away. (I'm practically pissing myself laughing! xDD) He tells her not to say that, and that she is his life, her and Sabine and Sabina mean everything to him.He spends a bit of time comforting her, then she asks the question he'd been dreading.
Before she blacked out, what had happened??
