Day 10 - A scene that makes you sad

“This is your fault!” he yelled, fists clenched.

I cringed backward, eyes wide. “But he…he attacked me…”

“Yes. And Inna. A human! You let a human attack you.” He couldn’t keep the sneer from his voice. “You are weak. You are incapable of defending yourself - all because you refuse to be awakened!”

His voice was terrifying, and the look he gave me…well, it scared me almost more than Nathan had. Reaching forward, he jerked me up to my feet.

“If you had just been killed, it would have been your own fault,” he said. His fingers dug into my wrist as he shook me. “You have the chance for immortality, for incredible strength! And you’re too blind and stubborn to see it.”

Most people would go with the bridge scene(I have a graphic for that coming up) but I have feelings about this scene. Strigoi Dimitri finally snaps at Rose. He calls her weak and technically he isn’t wrong. Rose is a wreck, nothing of her former self and even scrambles to please him. He says a whole bunch of other nasty stuff and physically hurts her. Dhampir Dimitri would never do that. Also dhampir Dimitri would never call her weak because he sees her strength even if she doesn’t see it herself. But this isn’t Dimitri anymore, he is a monster and Rose finally realizes that she has to do it, she has to kill him.
