he can’t say a word about how I feel toward you.

    “I guess not. I’m such an idiot.” …
     

Chapter 9
     
    Silindra, are you awake? I’m still here, inside. Silindra! It’s me, Snow White. Can you hear me?
    I could hear her, but for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out what she was talking about. Who was she?
    “I don’t get it,” I said. My mouth felt like it’d been stuffed with cloth.
    “There’s nothing to get, Silindra. Well, except I’m going to kill you now. Is there anything you’d like to say to me before I sever your ugly head from your dreadful body?” His face was next to mine, but my eyes were blurry. It looked like there were four of him, then two, then six.
    Tell him he needs to promise you something. Tell him he needs to place one of your tears in the gem, and then take it to Ryden. You hear me, Silindra. Tell him!
    The strange voice was shouting inside my head, but I heard myself whisper the request.
    Gabriel laughed. “Sure, Silindra.” He yanked the gem from my neck, and pressing it against my cheek, he said, “Alright vampire, cry.”
    I tried, I did, but the tears wouldn’t come. Until suddenly I heard the girl in my head sobbing. I’m so sorry, Silindra. I’m so sorry this had to happen to you. I’m sorry Gabriel didn’t truly love you. I’m sorry you were betrayed.
    Her tears reached my eyes, and I felt them pool. One dropped and landed on the gem.
    “There. There, Silindra. I’ll put you out of your misery.” He grabbed hold of my body and flipped me onto my back. I flinched as an agony tore through me. He raised a long blade over my neck, and pressed slightly. A smiled formed on his wicked lips. “The last of the Originals—gone forever.”
    From inside I felt the girl wrap her arms around me, as though she were trying to give me a hug.
    I’ll make everything, right. Somehow I will. I promise.
    Her words brought a smile to my lips. I believed her. She would make everything alright.
    “Thank you,” I said.
    Gabriel flinched, but only for a second, before he lifted his sword and brought it down on my neck.
     

Chapter 10
     
    “I, Snow White, do solemnly swear to right the wrongs.” My eyes opened, and I stared into the surprised eyes of Dorian.
    The edges were crinkled with gladness, and he had a huge grin on his face. “I, Dorian, promise to help you right those wrongs in any way I can,” he said, his voice overflowing with happiness. His face hovered above mine, and I wondered if he’d kissed me. At the thought, I blushed and tried to sit up, conking my forehead into his.
    “Sorry,” I said, my throat scratchy. It seemed only seconds ago I’d been witnessing everything happening to Silindra, feeling her pain, suffering through her anguish. So many emotions dashed through my body.
    I was beyond glad to be back in my time, and looking into the face of one of my favorite people in the whole world. But, I was also sick inside at Silindra’s death, the lies and deceptions Sharra, the Vampire Queen spewed, and I was determined. Resolved to accept my destiny. With Silindra’s death came the knowledge that I was responsible for the fate of, not just vampires, but all magical creatures. Kenmei was exactly right when he said the Seal of Gabriel was created for me. Did he know I’d actually assisted in its creation? That was highly unlikely. I felt bad for laughing in his face though.
    “Hey, you okay?” Dorian asked, rubbing his forehead, his face etched with concern.
    “Better than okay. I’m back.” I smiled patting his cheek with my hand. His warmth reminded me it’d been a long time since I had any blood.
    “I’m so glad you’re awake. I can’t wait to tell everyone.”
    Dorian turned to leave, but I grabbed his arm with one hand, while
