“The spell. Victor said you had to want me... to care about me... for it to work." When he didn't say anything, I tried to grip his shirt, but my fingers were too weak. "Did you? Did you want me?"
His words came out thickly. "Yes, Roza. I did want you. I still do. I wish... we could be together."
"Then why did you lie to me?"
We reached the clinic, and he managed to open the door while still holding me. As soon as he stepped inside, he began yelling for help.
"Why did you lie?" I murmured again.
Still holding me in his arms, he looked down at me. I could hear voices and footsteps getting closer.
"Because we can't be together."
"Because of the age thing, right?" I asked. "Because you're my mentor?"
His fingertip gently wiped away a tear that had escaped down my cheek. "That's part of it," he said. "But also... well, you and I will both be Lissa's gaurdians someday. I need to protect her at all cost. If a pack of Strogoi come, I need to throw my body between them and her."
I know that. Of course that's what you have to do." The black sparkles were dancing in front of my eyes again. I was fading out.
"No. If I let myself love you, I won't throw myself in front of her. I'll throw myself in front of you.”

“咒语。维克多说你必须要我。。。关心我。。。当他什么也没说的时候，我试着抓住他的衬衫，但是我的手指太弱了是吗？你想要我吗？”
他的话滔滔不绝。”是的，罗莎。我真的想要你。我还是喜欢。我希望。。。我们可以在一起。”
“那你为什么对我撒谎？”
我们到了诊所，他设法打开了门，同时还抱着我。他一进屋就大声呼救。
“你为什么撒谎？”我又喃喃自语了。
他仍然抱着我，低头看着我。我能听到声音和脚步声越来越近。
“因为我们不能在一起。”
“因为年龄问题，对吧？”我问因为你是我的导师？”
他的指尖轻轻擦去了我脸颊上的一滴眼泪。”“这是其中的一部分，”他说而且。。。好吧，总有一天你和我都会成为丽莎的高尔第人。我要不惜一切代价保护她。如果来了一包红肿，我得把我的身体扔到他们和她之间。”
我知道。“当然，这是你必须做的。”黑色的火花再次在我眼前舞动。我渐渐消失了。
“不，如果我让自己爱你，我就不会把自己丢在她面前。我就当着你的面跳。”
