"Isis...I love you.He spoke the words so quickly that Isis thought she must have heard him wrong. She was about to turn around and ask him but he was already making his way around her so she just watched him and as he stopped infront of her, she realized she had heard it right, she could tell by the look in his eyes. He was serious. "Lucius..." for the first time in years she called him by his real name. As a child she hadn't been able to pronounce it and the nickname stuck with her.

She could not believe what she was hearing. She knew the rules. His rules even. She had heard more than she was supposed to during the nights she spent with her books when she should have been asleep. She knew what was at stake here. "But you can't.." She was at a complete loss for words. She just looked him in the eyes and realized she loved him aswell. She had many times caught herself looking his way more than usual the past year, expecting him to come home one day with the most beautiful vampire woman and announce their engagement, but this couldn't be. Would he break his own rule? What would the clan think?! She took a deep breath. "I love you too, Lucius. But the clan will not accept it because you told them so. Are you going to break your own rule? Would it be worth the consequences?" Her voice was cracking but her eyes never left his.
