Letters

Over the course of both shows, a few **letters** have been written.

**Charlotte's Letter** was written by Charlotte to her unborn daughter Elizabeth Chamberlain in a flashback in *Evil in My Blood*. She wrote her in her daughter nursery and Jake asked to her if it was a love letter destined to Alexander, Christopher or himself. Later, when she decided to give her newborn to Christopher, Charlotte put her letter in her daughter's bags.

*Your dad just asked if this was a love letter. I guess it kind of is. 'I never got to know my mother. I have no idea what she must have felt when she carried me. So I thought I’d write to you, so that you could know how happy I am at this very moment. How much your father and I can’t wait to meet you. And I want to make you a promise, three things you will have that I never did. A safe home. Someone to tell you that they love you every single day. And someone to fight for you, no matter what. In other words, a family. So there you go, baby girl. The rest we’re gonna have to figure out together.*
*I love you, Your Mom.*

Charlotte's letter to Jake was one of a series of letters that Charlotte had written to Jake to update him on his daughter, Elizabeth's, life while he was away. This particular letter included a picture of Elizabeth as a child and was addressed to him whilst he was in Russia. This letter was kept in a box with a series of other letters, which Jake did not open until after Charlotte's death.

You'd have been proud of Elizabeth today. She's back home for summer break. I brought her out to the Bayou for the crawfish boil, hoping she'd play with the other crescent kids, but I turned around and she was gone. Sometimes I think about all the unlike things that led to her existence. You and I born a thousand years apart and all of the petty crap that brought us to that one night in Anaheim. It's been hard...but the truth is, I watched her curled up next to that dying woman, and I knew I wouldn't change a thing. In all my life I've never felt lucky before her.
Anyway, we miss you.
Charlotte

### Christopher's Letters

*I hope this finds you well. I write to offer an update and ask for your advice. Your brothers remain at odds. Jake will never apologize-- not for the blood he's shed, nor the suffering Charlotte continues to endure. And, I can never forgive him. Which is not to say I have no good news...Jacob kept his word-- Jeffery controls the Quarter. There, he has founded a fight gym in the old St. Anne's Church where he tests the mettle of those who wish to join his vampire community. I have begun joining him for sparring. I believe it helps me work through my anger... and I have much anger. While Elizabeth continues to flourish, it is clear she misses her mother. Though Jacob remains the doting father, he has been of no help in finding a cure for Charlotte's curse. Despite my best efforts, I've yet to find the means to undo the spell placed on her and the Crescent wolves, and Charlotte herself continues to struggle, unable to see her child except for one night a month during the full moon. And we're in no position to ask for outside help... Julia's rage at our family has only grown. And, as Regent of all covens, she is far too formidable to be swayed.*
*Until then, I remain your brother Christopher.*

### Jake's Letters

**Jake's letter to Elizabeth** was a letter written to Elizabeth upon sacrificing himself to keep his family safe. The letter dictates that he did what he had to so that his family would be safe.

*I do not know how this will find you; As a child full of wonder; a teenager full of opinions; or a woman with the world at her feet. I write to tell you that I love you and to explain that in our family's darkest hour, I was called upon to save my siblings. And so I did. Please do not mourn me, whatever pain I endure I do so in service of those I love. My sole regret is that I will be away from you. Be good to your mother, I draw comfort knowing that she will protect you and I know that she will not rest until our family is reunited. Until then, my sacrifice will allow you to grow. Become the beautiful daughter I can now only imagine. Please know you are the legacy this family has always desired, the promise we fought to protect. You are and always will be our hope.*

### Zander's Letters

Zander wrote a **letter** to Jacob Chamberlain to offer his condolences after Charlotte's death.

*You and I are no strangers to heartbreak, and yet each loss hits more deeply than the one before. I've had to return to my daughter, as I'm sure you can understand. Please know, I am a phone call away if you need a friend.*
*With all my sorrow and with love for you and your family*
*Alexander*
