"Yes." Dawn nodded. "In my dreams. but you must not know."

He clenched his fist, fangs ready to eat Dawn and finally kill her once and for all. But still he could not do what needs to be done. Something inside him begs to let Dawn live.

Dawn stared at his crimson eyes consumed with agony and darkness yet enchanting.

"She told me that I have to save you."
