Sonny,

This may very well be my last entree before I have to go save you. And I'm kind of scared. No, not kind of scared, I'm scared.

I hope someday you'll get these letters. It's really just a big waste if you don't. But because no one can tell the future I don't know if you'll ever lay eyes on them. To me it makes more difference than you can ever imagine. People have begun telling me I'm a hero but I don't feel like a hero. They say I'm saving them all but It's really just you. I save you, you save them, the just are rewarded, the wicked are punished and everything is once again perfect. But that's not how it is and we both know it. Someone always has to die and that someone could very well be me.

And now, only hours before I must leave, sitting in near total darkness with only a candle lighting my scribbly handwriting,I wonder why they chose me. Danny, Luke, Ryan, Kate, they all say the same thing, I'm the best. But it amazes me to think of how I ended up here. What am I but a girl with a talent for knives?

The time for final goodbyes has come and it has come, regrettably, too soon.

To Luke... My big brother. I love you. You've saved my life many times so that I could die at a later date. But at least this way I can save someone in the process. Everything about you is unnaturally perfect. I have always known that and, at times, been jealous of it. I hope you stay that way, forever.

Ryan, you are my favorite jerk. You tease me and mess with me and it only makes me stronger. Deep down I know you only do it because you love me. You keep me laughing and smiling when without you I would be wallowing in a room of sorrows built on self pity.I wish you and Anna all the happiness this world has to offer. Keep her smiling the way only you can.

Kate, our family trees are crap. They mean nothing. You're like a sister to me. You've always been there for me and whatever it is I've done for you pales in comparison. I need you to know what all of this means to me even though it's impossible.

And now for the hardest goodbye.

Danny. I'm sorry. You've told me time and time again that I don't have to do this but I'm determined to go through with it. I stand by my decision, even now. I love you, Danny, don't ever forget that, no matter what happens.

-Will

"Last chance to back out." Danny said scaring me into nearly jumping out of my skin. I quickly stashed the letter causing him to raise an eyebrow but say nothing. He made no move to retrieve it.

"You know my answer." I said looking him strait in the eye.

"Tell me anyway."

Quietly, gently I told him "No."

"I was hoping you'd change your mind." he laughed for whatever reason but it couldn't have been of happiness.

"Then you don't know me." I stood there for a moment as he chose his next words carefully knowing I could easily use any one of them as ammunition.

"That's only because sometimes you refuse to let me." I thought about it and instantly knew that what he said was true.

It was like he was daring me to argue with him. About what I knew not but he wanted to argue. And I knew exactly what he was trying to do. Buy time. Make me doubt my decision.

"We have to go." I walked past him and out the door.
