Lilith knew it was all her fault. She was the one who had forced Damon to join her years ago. She was also the one who had dragged Renata into this. Why had she dragged her friends into her stupid and absurd revenge? If she had simply let go and lived her life, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Sylvia was dead, and now Renata was dying. Her grandmother and father were trapped in that battle, and many people had already died, including people she knew.
Ranar was gone, and so was Luna. She hadn't found Iris, and she was too scared to look because she was afraid she would find her corpse.
"Renata, please don't die. Don't die..."
Tears streamed down her face onto Renata's chest. She was far from the calm and collected Lilith Astranova.
She could feel Renata's heartbeat growing weaker and weaker. Then a hand touched her head.
Her tears stopped for a moment, and she looked up, her face streaked with tears.
She saw the faint flicker of Renata's violet eyes.
