The relationship
between Cain and Felicity has crested to a peak that leaves them unsure
whether to step back from each other for safety, or jump into a future
united in death.
Felicity is unlike any human Cain has known
before. She treats him as an equal; a man worthy of friendship, respect
and even... love. She embodies qualities of gentleness and loving trust
that he has never found among his own kind. This makes her far more
desirable to him than any creature of darkness could ever be.
The venom of Cain’s bite could protect Felicity from hostile vampires, but
it would give him a measure of psychic control over her as well. Would
Felicity only accept becoming a vampire, due to his addictive venom,
coupled with the foolishness of a young girl in love?
Perhaps there is a brighter future for her in the human world. Is Cain’s desire for Felicity’s love worth the loss of her life?
