She leaned her face into his hand. "He was. A harder, more rough you, but he was like you in that he wanted us safe. He wanted to keep me safe, but he wanted his Savannah back." She closed her eyes again and more tears slipped down her cheeks. "It was a horrible place. Eve and Gwynn were psychotic vampires. Summer was a vampire who said Savannah was her favorite of the humans and she wanted to make her one of them. Chris was dead, killed by Summer. Isabel was so sad, but she was still one of Savannah's closest people after Johnny. Wyatt... Wyatt was so so different. Chris being killed caused him to harden and push everyone who cared about him away from himself. Sean and Savannah weren't as close because she wouldn't let him be. K-Mart and Karla were people she cared about, and trusted a little bit. She was so hard, so different. She was so close to being out of control and it scared me to be seeing myself that way."
She moved her head to rest her chin on her knees because now came the hardest part. "I got her killed, Johnny," she said quietly, ashamed of herself. "She had survived two years there, and three days of me being in control of her body and she was dead. Sunday there was a battle, we knew how to save them and a strike team went out. The rest of us were distraction and attacked Town Hall where the vampires mostly resided. You -- he... we got separated and I saw him and Eve f-fighting. I tried to get to him but I was prevented from it by another attack. I fought, but she was too strong, too powerful and my magic wasn't strong enough to fight her. I tried talking my way out of it to get to him, but... he fell. I watched Eve kill him as Tahiri was ripping into my mind and then frying me with some sort of lightning from her hands. I was bleeding everywhere, then I couldn't breathe... I couldn't get to him." Savannah was crying in earnest now, her face buried in her knees. "I felt a sharp pain in my chest and there was even more pain and then I woke up screaming in Town Hall. I couldn't get to you and you died because I wasn't strong enough or powerful enough!"
