Five years go by and not a word from any vampire or half-vampire. She still has hope that Rhys, a half-vampire also under Griffin’s charge, will come and find her like he promised. But instead, Griffin himself shows up one night while Lara is alone in the jungle, and informs her that Rhys is trapped under a mountain of fire and ash. Lara can do nothing but hope that Griffin was lying. By now, Lara has driven herself into denial, convinced that one day Rhys will come back for her. Finally, the night that she is sure she will die, Rhys returns.
