Nonetheless, I wish you well today as you take your trials-not that you need any luck. Besides, even if I forced your awakening, you now have so many enemies among the Strigoi that one of them would kill you. Your refusal to join me in eternal life and love leaves no other course of action, and I can’t allow someone as dangerous as you to live. It’s something I regret having to do, but you’ve made my choice inevitable. I can picture all of those things perfectly, as well as how it’ll be when I take your life from this world. Without dreams, I have to be content with my own imagination-which is almost as good. I’d dream about the smoothness of your skin and the fierceness of your lips when we kiss. I’d dream about the way you smell and how your dark hair feels like silk between my fingers. It’s a shame, because if I could dream, I know I’d dream about you. One of the few downsides to being awakened is that we no longer require sleep therefore we also no longer dream. I’d read it four times so far, and even though I was running late, I couldn’t help but read it a fifth time. Today’s letter had been perfectly timed, not that I should have expected any less. Of course, considering I once tried to kill someone I loved, maybe I had no right to judge. THERE’S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN death threats and love letters-even if the person writing the death threats still claims to actually love you.
