"Kim, you have another chance at happiness, Why don't you take it?"
"And do David memory the dishonor of relegating it to the past? Never! I will never give up on him, never give them rest until the last of them has paid for his death."
Gavin looked at his old friend; the years of bitterness and revenge had eaten away at her until she was just a shell of the person he once knew. He knew what now consumed her, the all burning need for vengeance, to make them pay for what they did.
Her eyes that once sparkled with laughter were now dull, only lighting when she made her kill, when she destroyed another life.
"If you keep this up, you will become a sad and bitter old woman." Gavin warned; trying to talk some sense into her.
"So will I grow, so live, so die." Kim could not give up her vengeance, it was all that she was anymore, all that she could think about. It was all that drove her forwards, all that kept her from just lying down and letting death take her.
"They will remember him before they die." Kim vowed.

I do like how you've kept up the storyline. The changes that Kim have gone through are pretty awesome and scary; I'm glad that you've shown vengeance for what it is and how it poisons people. You chose a very good quote and made it what you want it to be. While people often do quote Shakespeare out of context, what you've done shows how powerful his words are no matter the context.
I'd have put "all-burning" as one word, but that's just a stylistic thing. Watch punctuation around dialogue tags.
