Quote #10

"We need to do it now," Stephan told Alex. "Before things get worse."

"Do what?" My voice sounded weak and pathetic. "What are you going to do to me?"

"Gemma." Alex gave me a sympathetic look. "I already explained to you what was going to happen." (36.28-30)

Alex acts like they have no choice but to go along with Stephan's plan and remove Gemma's soul, but she knows this can't be the only option. It just can't be the only way the story can possibly end.
