A/N: No, I haven't read the novel yet. That is because I live in Germany and here book four will come out in September. That means you english speaking people will have read the fifth book by the time I read the fourth. Isn't that unfair? I've kept myself from all spoilers (the reason I don't read SP fics that are younger than the book) to keep this chapter authentical and free from any influences.

„Let me get this straight, last year you went head over heels, even so far as to go against the Sanctuary to prevent the Diablerie from opening the portal and now you want to do the exact same thing?"

She thought for a moment.

„Pretty much, yes."

„I can not allow you to do that..."

„You couldn't stop us last year, what makes you think you will succeed this time?"

She marched out, chin high and feelings mixed about the outcome of this conversation while Guild balled his fists in anger.
