(Back to Tam)
Tam was ready to seal his own fate. If not for the others he'd have given into the vines and let them take everything, but he couldn't do that. He couldn't let the others die. "Ruy you don't really want to do this, you're not a bad guy at heart." Tam pleaded. "Have you met me?" Ruy replied sarcastically. "Sadly." Tam said. "Why are you doing this? It's not like Gisela really loves you. Can't you see that?" "Shut up! She does love me. She just doesn't like to show affection in public." Ruy mumbled, "Or in private, or anytime. You're wrong." "Even if she did love you she's still using you!" "No she's not." "She uses everyone, even her own son! What makes you an exception?" "She wanted to do this with me," Ruy said, getting angry. "Her boyfriend! And it's not like I don't want revenge myself, don't you realize what you did to me! You took my essence! Well most of it, luckily your body couldn't handle anymore."
So that's why I've been stronger lately, it's not just my life force in me it's been his! Tam thought. Then he got an idea. "If you let Fitz and Linh go I'll give you back your essence." Gisela stormed in, "Oh Ruy don't be an idiot, he can't do that. Even if he could you'd never betray me, would you?" "No my love."
