Path of the Vampire forum

Carefully slipping into the room, the Russian went directly for her twin's journal. Tugging it free from it's confines, she skimmed through the pages until she found the most recent entry. She didn't read, she didn't so much as glance at any particular word. Instead, she tucked the necklace and her letter inside before setting it back down. With a quick glance around to ensure the safety of her apartment, she made her way back out. She only hoped she'd understand.

Twin,

I have written this a thousand times it seems, and it never seems to be right. I have decided to just go with it this time, and hope you do not think me going soft.

I would hate to have to kill you on your honeymoon.

I have watched you since we met. I have watched the way you move, the way you handle everything that comes your way. I have watched as you have given your heart only to have it crushed. I have watched as the light faded from your eyes and the fire went out. It has bothered me each time. You are one of the very, very few that I care for, that I have opened my heart for - and I do not like that I cannot protect your from all matters of the heart.

However, I also watched as you met Marjani. I cannot explain it, but I saw something in her. We did not get along at first, but who do I get along with? I digress. She cares about you. She is devoted and she loves you. I was able to see that, and I realized I did not have to watch out for your heart anymore. You have found someone that genuinely loves you. She may make mistakes - we all do, but I know that she will be devoted to you until her last breath. I do not have to know her personally to see her loyalty and her love.

It shines through her eyes.

I know how romantic that must sound, and I promise, I am not losing my way. I have my moments, that is all. I am not one for weddings, but I will attend yours. I will attend yours, to see you bind eternally to the one that I know you are safe with. She looks at you much the same way Kirill looks at me, and you look at her as I look at him. That is how I know it is true.

I suppose I am simply trying to say that I am... happy... for you. If that word covers it. You deserve the world, my twin, and she can give it to. I am quite pleased with this arrangement. Corinth informs me that arrangement is not the appropriate word, and says I should use marriage instead. I do not know, she is the expert here. Either way, Nishaa, you have found eternal happiness. Hold to it. Cherish it. We are the lucky few.

- Reanna.

Written beneath the letter is a hastily scribbled note. It's clear in the way that it's written that she was without her wraith - and that she was distressed.

I am sorry, Twin.
I did not mean to leave.
I will not burden you with the reasons why yet.
We will discuss later, if you still wish to know.
Do not worry of it.

I watched you dance.
I watched you love her.
And her you.

You could not see us.
But we were there.
He says it was beautiful.
It is not a word he uses often.
I am happy for you.
He is happy for you.
We love you, even if we do not say it often.
