The door closed, but her laughter lingered in the air, echoing in the quiet like poison. Damon stood alone in the penthouse, the city lights glowing beyond the glass, his heart pounding with rage and regret.

Helena… I was wrong… I'm sorry…" Blake clutched the cold screen and collapsed to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably. He slapped himself again and again, until his face swelled and bled. For six years, I had taken blades for him, bled for him, cooked for him, and left the lights on for him late into the night. Every memory cut into him like a blade. … It was too late. There was no cure for regret in this world. A love that came too late was worth less than dirt.

I had picked them up on the way here, the soft fragrance a small comfort amidst the storm in my chest. “Mom…” I whisper, my voice trembling. “I know you would’ve wanted me to… to be with him, to try, to forgive. But I can’t. I’m done. He’s caused me too much grief, too much… pain. I can’t anymore. Not for him. Not for anyone who doesn’t see me. Not for a family that… that never really saw me.” I lay the lilies gently on the grave, the petals brushing the engraved letters.

I stood in this room and imagined…” My voice broke. “And you just painted over it like it meant nothing.” “Rhea, you locked this room. You couldn’t even walk past it.” “Because it hurts!” I shouted. “Because every time I looked at it, I saw everything I couldn’t give you!” “I know that.”

I ask franticly, feeling that I really didn't want to know the answer, but I needed to hear it. The room became deathly silent as I watched Elder Lilia contemplate her next words carefully. Felt like hours had passed before she chose to speak again, moving my body to the edge of the sofa as I leaned in closer.

* Penny * The Family mausoleum stood on the far edge of the estate, past the orchard and through the cedar grove where the wind always seemed to hush its breath. A place carved from silence. It rose like a memory out of the earth, limestone white, weathered smooth by time and sorrow. Ivy crept up one side like veins, clinging to the cool stone in green tendrils. It was beautiful in the way grief often is, quiet, composed, dignified.

It thought to have reside deep within, spread to who-knows-where after trully materialize into existence. “Bloody,” the plea of voices filled my mind, “gore!” I stumble upon, catching my breath as I cough a mouthful of blood. I wouldn't able to question what's just happen, I merely look through the bottom of his eyes, the deep sorrow and longing was the only thing that keeps me from trying to breath. There's something in that eyes that I couldn't fully understand, a mystery that fell me into unresistable agony. Or was it a desire?

Hissing, Sia pushed him away and stepped back to glance at Louis whose eyes were glossy with unshed tears. “ I don't want to see any of you again. ” Hissing in a trance, Sia ran to the door and stormed out of there. “ What happened?! Is anyone going to tell me? ” Harry pushed his hair back and asked in a tired tone. He was so done with everything. With secrets. With lies. With betrayals. And with love. Louis turned to him and decided to tell him everything himself. ********* Storming out of there, Sia decided to go to her penthouse instead of her lake house.
