"What does it have? And why is it temperature controlled with a lock?"
"Because what I want to give you needs to stay that way." His endearing eyes were fixated on her, and she couldn't even put into words how her heart felt when he looked at her that way.
"Do you want me to open it?"
"No… Once opened, it cannot be closed and …"
"What? What the hell does it contain?"
"A vial of my blood and a vial of my plasma…" And upon hearing that, Caroline felt as if the surrounding air had frozen.
"I may not be there to protect you all the time… So just in case there is any need… You will take it. Do you understand me?"
Shocked to the very core of hers, Caroline couldn't believe that even at the brink of extinction, he was thinking about saving her and not him.
'How can someone like him possibly possess a dark side?'
