I can save him, she had said. But first we need to make a little deal, okay?
I had agreed, but only because it was the only thing I could do. I had no other choice. I couldn't let anything happen to him. The aftermath of that would be disastrous; or so I thought as I walked to what could possibly be my death.
But as I walked, I wasn't thinking about that. I was thinking about them. I was thinking about Dimitri and Vincent, two very important people in my life; neither of whom I could let go, one of which I currently had to save.
He didn't know what I was doing. I wasn't even sure if he knew where I was. But if he had known I was positive that he would have stopped me. As I thought this I started to walk faster because it probably wouldn't be long until another group of patrols walked by and saw me. Then my plan would be ruined and I would never have a chance like this for a very long time; and right now I only had a matter of days before I would no longer be able to save him. I had to get to the Moon dorm and I had to get there tonight. Silver Darklove never went to classes and I guessed at why that was with the rest of the Day Class students. But we would never know for sure what the real reason was. But I was almost certain that I would find out tonight.
As I made my way up the steps to the Moon dormitories, I thought about what I was doing one more time for once I passed through the gates I would no longer be able to turn back. This was my last chance. But I knew what I had to do; and what I had to do was sacrifice myself to Silver.
I know how to save your precious little Vincent. But a deal has to be made first. Her words still echoed in my head. The deal is simple; give your entire being to me, or bring me the corpse of Dimitri.
I couldn't bring myself to murder Dimitri. I could never harm him for I owed him my life. So the only option was to give myself to Silver.
I continued on my way up the steps to the Moon dorm riding souly on the hope that my decision would not be for nothing.
The dorm gates towered far above my head. A feeling of intimidation and dread suddenly fell upon me. But I pulled myself together, opened the gates, and walked through. As the door to the Moon dorm loomed closer my heart started beating faster and my breathing turned to gasps.
What is happening? I thought to myself. Something is seriously wrong here. But I have to get to Silvers dorm room.
I took a few deep breaths until my breathing had become somewhat normal again and my heart beat had slowed down a bit. I continued on my way up the steps, pushing open the door when I reached it.
As I stepped in and looked around I realized that I had no idea where I was going. I was all alone in the main room of the dorm; I could tell. All of a sudden a cool rush of air blew through the room and the door shut behind me. I felt a sudden presence in the room that hadn't been there before.
"Hello?"
