Cassiy: "please don't think of me as a nuisance I didn't want this anymore than you my mother thinks this is the best road for us"
She looks down, fidgeting with her hands. "I... I understand if you hate me. I really do. But please understand that this isn't something I wanted either."
Why are you even agreeing to it? You’re not going to get anything out of marrying me.
pauses, looking up at EverBrood "I'm agreeing because... because I don't have a choice, do I? And maybe... just maybe, there's something more to this than what we see.
What the hell are you talking about?
leans in closer, lowering her voice "I'm talking about secrets, EverBrood. Secrets that our parents are hiding from us.
grabs EverBrood's arm, pulling him towards a secluded corner "I've been hearing things, EverBrood. Whispers in the dark, secrets whispered in the dead of night.
What’s that supposed to mean?
grips EverBrood's face, forcing him to look into her eyes "It means that our lives are not our own, EverBrood. They've made deals, taken oaths.
Deals? What the hell are you talking about?
releases EverBrood's face, pacing back and forth "They've sold us, EverBrood. Traded us like pawns in some twisted game.
What! Why would they do that?
stops pacing, clenching her fists "Because they fear the power we possess, EverBrood. They fear what we could become if we were to join hands.
What the fuck are you talking about? What power?
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling "We are not ordinary, EverBrood. We are descendants of ancient bloodlines, bloodlines with powers beyond comprehension.
EverBrood flees the palace, leaving Cassiy behind
I run and never look back at all the memories we made together
chases after EverBrood, tears streaming down her face "EverBrood, wait! Please, listen to me!"
desperation in her voice "EverBrood, please! You can't just leave everything behind! It's not safe out there! The world doesn't know about our powers!
I’m not worried about that now. I’m worried about my life and you being alive I won’t let anyone hurt you ever again
throws her arms around EverBrood, wrapping her legs around his waist "I know you care about me, EverBrood, but this isn't about me.
frustrated, clenches her fists "No, EverBrood, it's not! It's about survival! It's about fighting back against those who betrayed us!
I know that Cassiy but right now i just want to protect you I couldn’t do that in there
narrows her eyes, determination in her voice "Well, then let's make a pact, EverBrood. We won't let them control us anymore.
snaps her fingers, revealing a hidden map "We find the answers ourselves, EverBrood. We go to the places marked on this map.
