He Left Me to Burn, I Rose in the Dark
My life was left behind in that church fire.
When the flames broke out, Cersei lied to me and said Jaeren was still inside.
I didn't hesitate. I rushed into the fire without a second thought, only to save my fiancé, Jaeren.
Then Cersei shoved me into the flames.
By the time Jaeren found us, he picked Cersei up and turned away.
He never looked back at me.
I was swallowed little by little by the smoke and fire.
Later, I stumbled out of the fire alone, covered in soot from head to toe.
Jaeren frowned, his face full of impatience.
“I didn't take you out first, sure. But couldn't you just call yourself a cab?”
“Be glad Cersei is unharmed. Even your death in that fire wouldn’t clear your fault.”
He didn't know that I had already suffocated to death in the flames.
The one who walked out of the ruins was nothing more than a body still breathing.
I made a deal with the vampire in the church basement, trading away my love for Jaeren and every tear I had ever shed for him.
In seven days, on the night of the full moon, I will open my eyes again in the dark as one of her kind.
From then on, I will no longer be trapped by love.
And I will never shed another tear for Jaeren.
