8 parts Complete "I shouldn't even be alive. For all intents and purposes I should have died that night in the cave but I didn't, and I can't help but think it was for a reason. I know what I have to do, and I know it is the right thing to. I will not betray you, I will not kill you, I will not save you either, I will not give you what you think you deserve. My choice is easier: I will not give up on our family. The rest is entirely up to you."
