Sacrifice

      Love is different for everyone. It can be the most wonderfully perfect little rainbow filled occurrence of your life, or it can be your biggest mistake to date. Although I believe that one thing about love everyone can agree on is that it's a bit emotionally draining, and has the power to do crazy things. Crazy things such as suicide, sacrifices of all kinds, and even in this case kidnap.

    Ty had a strange childhood, heck he's had a strange life in general, considering he's been stalking the same girl since she was five. After obsessing over innocent teenage girl Gemma , he drugs her coffee and takes her to live with him in the middle of an unknown desert. Forever. He's obviously mentally ill. How can you keep track of the same girl throughout her entire life? Take away her privacy like that? Does love have the power to make that big of an impact? Apparently so. I can't think of a better explanation for Ty's actions, than his love for Gemma. Sure it may be obsessive and unhealthy. But hey love is love, and Ty is drowning in it.

    There's an age old saying that goes something like "If you love something, set it free." This is exactly what I'm thinking Ty will act on. If Edward Cullen can do it in "New Moon" than so can Ty. Edward's love for Bella is just as unhealthy as Ty's love for Gemma. He watches her sleep, is horribly over protective and condescending, and I swear he goes through withdrawals. Both men are dealing with the same feelings, and the same issue. Without their presence, their loves lives would be ten times better off.  Edward realizes that, decides to face his future withdrawals, and parts ways with Bella because he wants her to have a better life. I think that Ty will somehow realize that so much is waiting for Gemma outside their little desert home, and set her free as well.

    If love is such a powerful feeling that it can cause death, emotional distress, and kidnapping; then I also believe it can drive someone to give up their life's devotion. Gemma is the project Ty has been working on his entire life, because he adores her. Maybe he adores her enough to let her go.
