Chapter Six

Slowly, Kira rose from the sturdy wooden chair and excused herself. Calmly, she walked to the door and looked back at the woman still crouching on the ground. She put as much love as she could into that look, hoping it was enough for that woman to believe Kira had been fooled by the show.

It took all of her strength to continue stepping at a normal pace up the stairs and down the hallway. Her muscles were tight, contracted. Her senses were alert, and she had to control her legs to stop them from stretching out in front of her and sprinting the rest of the way to her room.

Aldrich and that woman, who Kira couldn’t even think of as her mother, had to believe Kira was happy—maybe tired and drained of energy, but happy deep down. In reality, all Kira felt was despair. All of this, every second she'd spent daydreaming of a future with her mother and planning a rescue mission, all of it was wasted. Her mother was gone. Kira knew it. And she suddenly realized just how stupid she had been to believe in the fantasy, how naïve she had been to actually risk all of their lives searching for a phantom dream.

But there was a nagging question in the back of Kira’s mind—how? How had this woman faked her mother’s appearance? How did she know so much about her mother’s life? Was Kira just being stubborn again? Was she just screaming inside because she got exactly what she had wished for, but realized too late that it was a corrupted desire?

You can’t bring the dead back to life, Kira thought but then corrected herself, you can’t bring the dead back to life and expect nothing to change. After all, vampires were in so many ways the living dead, but none of them, not even Tristan, were the same as their living selves had been.

“Kira?”

Kira blinked. Tristan was standing in the doorway of their room, looking down at her with concern.

“Are you okay? You’ve been standing outside of the door for a few minutes, not moving, not really anything…” he trailed off. Kira blinked again then remembered the act.

“I’m great.” She smiled, knowing Tristan would see it was insincere. But he didn’t. He took both of her hands and led her inside. All the while, his eyes danced with an electric charge, a surging burst of energy that Kira just couldn’t copy.

“Don’t you see what this means?” Tristan asked.

That my mother is dead, Kira thought, that I’ve been the biggest fool in the world? But she didn’t say the words out loud. Somehow, Kira didn’t think it was the answer he was looking for.

Tristan didn’t wait for her answer. Instead, he led her to the foot of the bed. Kira let him sit her down and he knelt at her feet, still holding her hands.

“Kira, we can be together. Forever.” He kissed her fingers and held her hands against his heart, smiling from ear to ear.
