Chapter 24 The Resurrection
- …Anastasia POV…
- There is a suffocating silence that sets over the room as every syllable leaves Sebastian's lips. There is nothing but pure horror hidden all over his pale face; even if every part of him protests internally with himself, he knows that he has to present me to them. The Vampire Council, a collection of Vampires chosen by Sebastian himself, is widely feared and known to hand the most severe punishments down on those who break the Vampire code.
- This is what Edward has told me, whether it is true, that I shall find out for myself come tomorrow night. As for now, I am being sent to my room much like a naughty child to think about my actions. In all my living years, I have never felt so scared; I do wish that I had listened to Sebastian. My own selfishness drove me to do the unthinkable, kill another out of pure recklessness. I would love to tell myself that I was only thinking of Eva's best interest, where in fact, I was only thinking of myself.
