Life Changing Decision

I think that the quote "You knew Amba better than any of us. You would best know if this life that moves inside of her is evil or good. If you know for sure in your heart that it is evil, then strike it dead. None of the men here will blame you for the act” from the book Thirst NO.1 (on page 53 in the book) is an important part/quote in the book. This quote is important in the story because Alisa was the one that had the choice of killing the baby or to keep it alive. What happened was that her dad and some of the other church people in town (6 people) and a priest were going to summon a devil or something of that sort to get rid of a deadly disease killing the people of the village/town. Alisa was there during the ceremony of the summoning of the yakshini (the devil) was given the choice of killing the baby in her friends belly or to save it. She didn’t know what to do then, so she let the baby live, and because of that decision she made to let the baby live, she got taken away from her family, her daughter and husband, by Yaksha (the baby Alisa couldn’t kill when she was a child), so then I would say that Alisa chose her own destiny. I think that this is an important quote in the story because this was the choice that led Alisa to becoming a vampire and changing her life forever. I also think that this was an important quote in the book Thirst NO.1 because this led Alisa to following Yaksha, as his bride and to live for all eternity.
