Kate, Starling will get around to your other letters soon, okay? For now, these are the two I've answered. Enjoy!

Dear Dimitri:

Kate822,

My first impression was mixed. I saw Lissa bite her and thought Rose was either a mindless addict like the feeders or simply very dedicated to Lissa. Admittedly, I did lean toward the first option. It was hard to tell which at first, but when she tried to attack me that night, it became clearer. No feeder would even consider that.

As for the Russian in the gym…I think I called her a whore. (She's going to read this and kill me, if her father doesn't do it first.) If you go back and look at what she said, you really can't blame me. If you'd heard a girl you barely knew say that to a couple of guys she clearly knew before she'd broken out, wouldn't you think the worst too?

Yes, sometimes they did. I was mistaken for a substitute teacher once when I was a sophomore. And if you know anyone who thinks Rose and Christian should be together, here's a few straitjackets for them. Even assuming I was out of the picture, they'd kill each other in twenty minutes. Ask Eddie if you think I'm biased.

dear Mason:

i know u seemed different to people when u were dead and came back but did

living people look different to u also now that you know Rose loves Dimitri do

you regret dying for her

Hey Kate822,

It's kinda hard to describe. When I was still hanging around outside the wards – which hurt like hell to cross, by the way, even if that idiot Mana group did make them weak – the world looked sort of watery, like I was looking through a veil of liquid. And everything was a little washed out, like Rose described me. The only cool part was that I could actually see auras while I was hanging around, and damn, did Rose's scare me. Anyway, she stood out the brightest because she was the reason I was still there, all glowy and shimmery; the dark parts of her, like her hair, looked even darker, and the pale parts like her skin looked white. Colors popped out really brightly. So yeah, it was pretty weird.

Well, I regret dying for her, but not in a bad way! I mean that I regret just running in there when my help wouldn't have gotten her free anyway. I understand why she was so hot and cold with me now. She couldn't exactly tell me about her and Dimitri, and I do appreciate that she was really trying to move on. I also appreciate that she refused to do anything with me once she realized she wasn't actually with me. At least she didn't fake it. I think that would have been worse.
