I looked back up at my concerned brother. I was beginning to calm down and I could see his perspective. If I didn't kill Seth, if I walked away now, there's no telling how he's going to rule.
I looked down at the crowd of moving bodies. I caught sight of Holly. Her silhouette stood out to me as if the outline of her body glowed. In a room full of vampires, she looked the strongest to me. She was incredible in every way, from the way her hair moved every time she did to the flicker of innocence in her eyes that she would lose if she remained involved with my world any longer. In every way possible she was beautiful, so beautiful it was almost painful. I wanted nothing more than to wrap my arms around her and keep her safe. Be her protector as well as her lover.
