[color=ed1c24]"Yasmin!"[/color]  Evelyn caught her before she hit the floor, cradling her in her arms.  It was quiet now since the chaos had ended.  She looked down at Yasmin, out cold, but at peace?  No, the pained expression frozen upon her face was but the visage of inner turmoil, a black, raging storm within the vampire's heart.  [color=ed1c24]"You have helped me...."[/color]  Evelyn whispered, tenderly her hand resting upon Yasmin's cheek.  [color=ed1c24]"More than anything... You brought me back from the brink of darkness.  You saved me from the creature I was becoming.  You reminded me...of what it meant to love when I had lost the meaning long ago.  I realized now...that I do deserve happiness.  That I do deserve...love...just like you.  And that is why I gave you....my heart.  Because I knew in your hands, it would never be broken, never be shattered.  You would always cherish it, and always keep it safe.  I love you so much Yasmin....that I'm even giving my life to you."[/color]  At this, Evelyn broke down into tears.  Yasmin still had her heart necklace, but now....it was beating...just like a real heart.

[color=ed1c24]"And why, because deep down, there is a part of you that will never cease to exist.  Even if you do think you are nothing but a monster, you're only lying to yourself.  Because underneath it all....you're still a human."[/color]

Gently she kissed Yasmin's forehead and carried her out of the bathroom, holding her close as she decided to take her back to the dorms and let her rest.
