"My unfinished business... Is now finished. I saw you. That's all I wanted. Stay alive darling, help free your brother, He needs you. Hoseok needs you... And Yoongi." She touched my cheek one more time, holding it in place.
"I love you darling. I promise to find you when I'm reborn... And promise me not to give up on Jin. He's fighting a lot more than you think. Don't let him end up like me... before it's too late. Goodbye my dear Cecile, till we meet again."
━━━━━ (Alaric's POV)
(Before Cecile woke up):
"You've been hurt by who. Tell me." Yoongi had looked everywhere but my eyes. And the next words he had spoken had made my stomach turn.
"Her brother." Her brother? I grabbed his arm and sat him down back onto the couch. "What did he do?" He became a stuttering mess.
"When the creatures started attacking the sanctuary. Cecile had said it was fine for me to go with her brother. He had taken me to a secret room, and then as we got behind the wall, dozens of bodies had been hanging from the ceiling. I noticed that they all had quite a big hole in their arms and necks. I couldn't look, he closed the wall behind me. Then his eyes became white. He was looking sluggish, I don't know- but then he hit me in the stomach. He told me that he didn't want to hurt me. While he was taking my blood, he started talking about Cecile."
I sat down across from him, leaning forward with my elbows on my thighs.
"Out of the blue he just started saying that. She wants to hurt me. Then he went on about the past and what she had done. He basically was degrading her. I didn't believe him. But he said for me to tell her that it was her fault. Or else he'd make sure I'll never see her again. And if I did, he'd kill her. So I did what I thought was right."
"But I'm confused. Why would he say those things about her in the first place? I mean when Cecile talks about Jin, it's anything but hatred." No one knows the answer to that.
"But after I give my blood, I'm leaving. I don't think she'll want to see me." The room grew quiet. I stood up and grabbed his arm. "None of that. You fix your mistakes, that girl you're talking about, is your future. If you don't fix what you did- you'll never see her again. I know you really care about her Yoongi. I'm not putting pressure on you or anything but- her death is your cause. So what's it going to be."
I held my hand out for him to take it and agree. He stared at the ground with a deep frown. "Alright. Let's do it."
