In the POV of human Rephiam going over what happened in Burned/Awakened. And yes, I know the book hasn't come out yet (comes out Jan. 4th, 2011, yay!) I'm just making an assumption.
Rephiam POV:
Let's run away from this life
Back to yesterday
Safe tonight
I feel the sun creepin' up
Like tick tock
I'm trying to keep you in my head
But if not
We'll just keep running from tomorrow
With are lips locked
Yeah, you've got be begging, begging
I really wonder at times the similarities between nature and the courses that life sometimes takes. For example, my life. It always seemed that I was destined for Darkness, just like the angler fish that lives its life in darkness for it wouldn't survive anywhere else. I used to think of myself as an angler. I never knew anything but Darkness and I really wouldn't know how to survive in Light, no matter how idiotic that sounds. I figured that I would always be stuck in Darkness, watching the clock of my life tick away. I always forgot about one thing, and that was the angler's light. Sure it is used for hunting but in my case the Light will illuminate the Darkness around me and show me the right path. My light was always her.
Baby please don't go
If I wake up tomorrow, will you still be here
I don't know, if you feel the way I do
If you leave I'm going to find you
Baby please don t go, go, go, go [X3]
Baby please don t X3
...Run away
I remember the uncertainty. It now seems like it was a big waste of time but that's what happens in life, uncertainty. Life the wildebeest or zebras crossing a river filled with crocodiles there would always be uncertainty. The herbivores would never know if they would survive or not, if their last moment was there in that river. I suppose if they had a better intellect they would have told their loved ones goodbye or not to be saddened if it was to die… I see the river as the border between Light and Darkness. I was on one side, the Darkness, she on the other. I was the herbivore. I never knew at which moment I would see my life flash before my eyes and my last breath would escape me. I was uncertain wither or not the voyage across the river with the dangers and challenges was actually worth it. After a while thought I realized it was. I no longer wanted to be a part of Darkness and I rushed into the river, uncertainty behind me.
Baby please don't run away from my bed
Start another day
Stay instead
I feel the sun creepin' up
Like tick tock
I'm trying to keep you in my head
But if not We'll just keep running from tomorrow
With are lips locked
Yeah, you've got be begging, begging
Baby please don't go
Motivation. Motivation's a funny thing in my opinion. There are all types of motivation but it all is based on the same thing; there is always something at the end that you want. The motivations vary from person to person; my motivation was like that of ant believe it or not. The ant works hard for its queen and thus she is their motivation to work as hard as they do, to keep her safe. When danger always came towards Stevie Rae I had to keep her safe. I just knew that if I lost her, my motivation to change, I wouldn't have been able to do what I accomplished. I would have never been accepted as a person and not as a monster. But mainly, I wanted, and still do, want her to be safe. I couldn't stand the thought of her in pain. The very thought sends shivers down my spine.
If I wake up tomorrow, will you still be here
I don't know, if you feel the way I do
If you leave I'm going to find you
Baby please don t go, go, go, go [X3]
Baby please don t [X3]
Baby please don't run
I stay running from tomorrow [X4]
Harmony, something rare in nature but still present. Harmony between species, like cleaner fish and larger fish, prey and predators. Obtaining harmony is hard but when a position is open and only a being call fill it to fulfill an important duty a small sense of harmony is opened up. In my case I had to somehow befriend the other vampyres. At first it was difficult. No one gave me a chance to redeem myself but when I showed value by saving Stevie Rae and the Red vampyres from Dallas the others opened up to me and I was able to work on making harmony between us. She helped a lot. She talked to her friends and tried to change opinion. It took a while but when everyone was finally in harmony and our last battle came near, we all banned together for Light.
Baby please don't go

Baby please don t go, go, go, go [X3]

Now I look back on my life. It has its rough edges but from now on it will hopefully be smooth and calm and happy. The Light is now my domain, my territory. I have many friends, I have humanity, and I have her. I look down at her sleeping form in my arms. I smile. Who says that life can never be truly happy?
Song is Please Don't Go from Mike Posner (not Mike Poser, many people make the mistake).
