"Yeah, you would." I sigh, then manage to say what's on my mind. "I have a way, it's going to help you. I can buy you and your baby some time, and if you don't manage to get out of it, I can get you a quick and painless death. Which is not what they're planning for you at the moment. But when I do this, you're going to be on your own, alright?"

"Thanks Ian, but how?" I say.

"I just got to let him kill me." I shrug. "So, you're going to be on your own, but I can swing it to buy you some time, and if it comes to it a quick death."

"No Ian." I say with tears spilling. "You can't die. That's selfish of me to let you go of your life to save mine."

"It's not just yours, Rin. And it's not selfish. It would be seflish to keep me here." I sigh. "I don't expect you to understand. You have a life, a future, a family and friends. I have nothing apart from guilt and pain. That's it. It's a mercy, trust me. It would be worth it, to save your life, your baby's life, and well let's just say Nate made it more personal when he found out I was helping you. A lot more personal."

"But you're a friend of mine. I think that we're friends. Even though we met so soon and you're helping me. That's a true friend."

"You'll get over it. I can't let him kill you or your baby. And he's not going after my baby brother, no matter what he's done." I pause, then add very quietly. "And he's not going after Madeline."
I sigh heavily, then force myself to look up at her. "It's my redemption, Rin." I smile wryly. "This is my chance to make my peace for what I've done. If I help all of you lot, you innocent, good people, then maybe it'll make up for the innocent, good people that have died because of me. Let me redeem myself. Please."

I hug him. "To me your innocent, to me your like a best friend. Protect them then but remember you and I will always be friends."

"You wanna tell that to the family of all the people I murdered? You go ahead. I'm sure they'll have something to say." I mutter, stiffening slightly as she hugged me. "Just do me one favour." I ask. "I was gonna ask my little brother but he hates me and chances are he'll just destroy it, I need something passed onto someone for me."

I hand her the folded up piece of paper and Erin's lighter wordlessly.
"To Madeline Speare." I say hoarsely after a moment.

"Okay." I nodded and let him go.

"You better take care of the baby of yours." I say from the doorway, then turn and start to walk through the corridors to tell Nate I'd do it.

I nod and walk back to my dorm.
