Where that shame came from exactly, she couldn't say. Maybe it was because this wasn't the choice she would have made for herself. Maybe it was because of the hallucinations she suffered after she killed Connor. Or it may come from knowing her family, up until her and Jeremy, had dedicated their lives to the eradication of vampires throughout the generations.]

[She frowns a little at what Simon says though because it doesn't take a genius to know what he's implying just plain isn't right.]
