Chapter Ten
The Long Talk
"I don't know why."
"Well than you should have let me kill him."
"No. I didn't want him to die. He didn't deserve it."
"Yes he did. He tried to kill you twice and almost succeeded both times. So why did you think he deserved to live?"
"Because I felt sorry for him. He just wanted me back. There is still a place in my heart that didn't want to see him hurt. I'm sorry."
"Don't be sorry. It's just that I care about you and want to protect you. And to protect you I had to kill him. Now we have to be careful, because he might try to come back."
"If he comes back I want you to protect me and if that means he dies, then he dies. I love you, Erik."
"I love you, too." He kissed her on the forehead before drifting off to sleep.
