We were sitting in some little cave and it seemed to me like hours. Maybe it is already another day, maybe another week. Who knows.

There were explosions of light around us every few minutes but we couldn't go out and look what has happened.

All I wanted now was a long, hot shower and a goodnight's sleep. But obviously I couldn't have that.

I was thinking how weird it was that even though I was nothing but spirit, I still had the form and feeling of my body.

We were both quiet. Time passed without us saying anything and then the silence got awkward.

„So...“ I finally interrupted the silence. „Tell me something.“

„What would you want to know?“

„About you?“

„You want to know something about me? Why?“

„I don't know. Maybe because we are sitting here and you can be a murderer or something.“

„If I wanted to kill you'd be dead already.“

„Yeah, I know. Why are you here?“ I asked him with a little hesitation.

„Because I died?“ he laughed at my stupid question.

„No. You know what I mean. Are you a vampire?“

He went quiet for awhile and then I realised that he is not going to answer me at all.

„OK. So are we sitting here until we die?“

He laughed. „You want to die faster?“

„I don't want to die at all. But I came here to save my father and I can't just sit here and do nothing!“ I almost yelled at him.

„Oh. Stop being a drama queen.“ he said with annoying voice.

I was so angry with him, I wanted to slap him, but he was faster than me and he grabbed my hand before I could do that. His face was now just a few centimeters away from mine.

„Be careful.“ I felt his breath on my face. „What if I have a girlfriend?“

„Oh, she must be sickening happy!“

I looked in his eyes. What is wrong with him?! We were talking like two normal people, like friends and then...

„Why are you looking at me like that?“ he looked confused.

„You are reminding me of someone.“ I whispered.

„Who? Your boyfriend?“ he sarcastically asked me.

„No.“ I shook my head.

He is so much like Damon. Those deep blue eyes, smirk on his face. They even have the same nature, they both are arrogant, sarcastic, impulsive, dangerous, manipulative.

„So you don't have a boyfriend.“

„Oh, I didn't tell you? Must be none of your business.“

I picked myself up and went out of cave but he grabbed my hand. The impulse to feel scared pounded me, but I told myself that was exactly what Nybbas wanted. Standing there, I tried to act annoyed instead. Still, it took me a moment to find my voice.

„What are you doing?“

He must have taken a step closer, because suddenly our bodies were separated by nothing.

„You eyes. Those cold, pale blue eyes are surprisingly irresistible. And this killer curvy mouth.“

I stepped back. „That's it. I'm out of here.“

But as soon as the words were out of my mouth, I knew they weren't true. I felt the urge to say something some. I tried to find what it was I felt I has to say.

„You seem to know a lot about me. Like you know exactly what to do to make me uncomfortable.“

„You make it easy.“

„You admit you are doing this on purpose?“

„This?“

„This. Provoking me.“

„Say it again. Your mouth looks provocative when you do.“

„We're done. I don't need you help anymore. I don't like you.“

„I am glad that fate put us together“ he said.

„I'm working to change that.“

He thought it was funny, his teeth showed through his smile.

Our conversation was so tense, we didn't even realised that we are not alone anymore.

„Oow, look at you, Nybbas. Another victim?“

I instinctively stepped back, surprised by the unknown woman.

She had pale skin, sea blue eyes, pink mouth and straight blond hair that tumbled past her elbows. Her figure was willowy but feminine, she couldn't have been more than few years older than me.

„And you must by Alexandra.“ she said.

„Who are you?“ I asked suspiciously, I didn't know what to expect from her.

„Dabria.“ Nybbas called her. „What are you doing here?“ he asked calmly but he looked tense, prepared for everything.

„I should have known that you would be here, Nybbas. Are the rumors true?“

„I am afraid so.“

„You are taking care of the most powerful soul in whole Purgatory.“

„What?! What is she talking about?“ I looked at him, expecting an answer. „Nybbas!“

„Oow, he didn't tell you.“

„What....“

„You want her? You have nothing I want.“

„I have one hybrid here. Pretty powerful. And I can give you three more souls.“

„Three? Are you kidding me? She is worth at least five of them.“

„What the hell are you talking about?!“ I yelled at them. „And don't pretend you don't hear me! No one ever listen to me. Ever! I am fucking sick of mot being heard!“

I couldn't scream anymore, my lungs were being crushed. The wind grew stronger. I sighed, closed my eyes and gave up. I am not afraid anymore. I was pissed! A deep growl built up in my chest and I let it out.

They looked at me in shock and I gave them an angry look. They were talking about me like I was nothing, like I was meat in some store and they wanted to buy me.

And then I saw it. The reflection of movement few inches away from us. He stood there all alone and I barely recognized him.

„Dad.“ I gasped.
