dreamed about something like cutting off my head or drown me in the holy water until you appeared” he sighed. “ That night in the Delirium C lub I came up to you because Blake told me to. He told me to drive you back home, to steal that damn diary. At first I only looked at you as a potential sacrifice for Lilith but now Carrie…” He looked deeply into her eyes, black in the dim light of the room “I won’t let you die. I can’t lose you. I’m afraid I’m in love with you ” The girl held her breath . “Can you repeat that?” “I love you Carrie” Jacob said while piercing him with his shinning eyes. She shook her head in disbelie f. Her greatest dream came true but at the same time she coul dn’t be enthusiastic about it. She never thought that Jacob was capable of feelings different than hate. Before she was able to collect her thoughts, Jacob already kisse d her with his love-hungry lips and they both surrendered into the world of love and pleasure When it was over , they both lied down together in a satisfaction and Jacob reached into his drawer . “I want you to take this to remember me” He gave her a golden necklac e. She gave him a puzzling look and he pointed to it and then she opened it and sighed. Inside there was a black and white photo of Jacob, probably from his mortal years. T he t ears appeared in Carrie’s eyes. She wanted to say something but Morton put a finger on her mouth and said : “Shh… don’t say anything. The speech is silver while the silence is golden” He leaned to her and kissed her again but the magical moment was broken by Blake’s yell : “T he t wilight came! It’s time to go to the cemetery” They both came back to the reality and stood up from the bed.

The girl squeezed her necklace and nodded her head . The moment of truth came. Their moment of truth .

As she saw this , Carrie thought that the Morton brothers must have been collecting weapons for years. They had it all: From rapiers, blades to the most modern guns.

Blake sighed and said : “That’s true but we don’t have time to tell our life’s story. We have to go “ Pa ige picked a short silver knife that perfectly fit ted into her hand and Carrie decided that she’ll take the bottle of the holy water that they took from the church. No one complained about her choice and they all left to meet their destiny. The gate to the cemetery was closed and they had to pass through the iron fence surrounding the cemetery. The members of the Dark Star did that without a prob lem and helped Jay, Carrie and Paige to cross it. When they all stood on the solid ground , they noticed that Jay was missing but after a while he jumped through the fence screaming : “Woohoo!
