Dawn smiled at me sadly, "He loved you Alisa, and that love was what made him sacrifice himself for you that night. How many months have you mourned for him? Five? Six?"

"Ian can help you Alisa," her cold, smooth hand rested on my cheek and as I looked into her eyes I became aware of the age difference there was between us, the way in which the wisdom in her eyes betrayed her seventeen year old body. "you will soon realize that there's only one thing capable of destroying the hatred that's locked up in the stone, and believe me when I say that only with his help you'll be able to figure it out."
