After my parents and Jenna... my Uncle John.... they died, and - it was my fault. [ Tears well in her eyes. She didn't mean to say this much, but somehow she doesn't mind as much as she should. ] They died so I could live. [ She resents that, and it shows. ] My life should have ended and it didn't. [ and now it has; she's a vampire. ] I want to be happy... [ She shakes her head. She just doesn't know how, not now, not after everything. ]
