I couldn't believe my ears. Does he truly believe that? Does he think that they are irredeemable and they are completely without hope? "I want to see Ingrid. I don't care if she's a crazy freak trying to pawn me off to a vampire even crazier than her. She's still my mother and the idea of you doing to her what Vivienne…" I choked on my words. How could anyone with a conscience treat others this way?
"You're willing to just forget everything Ingrid did to you? To us?"
"I couldn't forget even if I wanted to, Aiden. You both scarred me for life when you both abandoned me. She's done worse things, but you are still guilty. Where were you that night when she came with Borys? Why was I home alone? I've been wronged by both of you, by so many other people—vampires and humans alike. That doesn't mean I want to go around torturing and killing everyone who's wronged me!"
