With one final wince as I reach your stomach my worst fears are realised, I have seen the same symptoms in far too many other women not to know what it is - and its mine... I look down at you, your eyes full of pain, anger and expection that I, somehow can cure what ails you when it is I that have caused it in the first place. I wonder if deep down you know, I wonder if you can see it in my eyes, everything I cannot and will not put into words.
The more I look at you, the more I come to realise that the realisation, not the slightest idea has entered your head but then again why would it? You are a vampire; dead to the world and all mortal afflictions or joys; dead to all it seems but this. But if it wasn't for the fact that every sign and symptom points to it I wouldn't have thought of it myself.
I am so afraid Mina. So afraid of your reaction, even more than I'm afraid of Hyde's reaction, or anyone else's in this godforsaken place. I'm afraid of what this will do to our relationship, whatever kind of relationship we do have... its already so brittle, so strained. This new vulnerability, this new weakness that so many people could use to their advantage and I could lose both of you in such a short time and I don't know whether I'm strong enough to go through that...
But its a miracle of a God I thought had forsaken me so long ago, a shaft of light in an overwhelming and neverending darkness, my redemption.
