Chapter 21 . . By the time lunchtime rolled around, Vincent, Fiona, and Joel were the talk of the school. I wasn’t too surprised though— every new kid had their five minutes of fame at my school. While it was large structure wise, it contained a small student body. We barely got …
Chapter 22 ♀ We’re going to get in so much trouble! Oh my god! We’re going to be suspended and-” “Will you calm down?” Vincent snapped, cutting me off. “Stop being such a goody-goody.” I glowered at him. “Sorry for not wanting to be in school after I missed two weeks …
Ch 23 When Vincent finally drove us home, I felt a lot better about the whole ordeal than I had at first. The movie was awesome- definitely more fun than school could ever be. I didn’t even care that I skipped anymore. In fact, I had no qualms about skipping school for …
24 It’s Friday, Friday! Gotta get down on Friday!” Kai sang, appearing out of nowhere as Vincent and I headed for the school’s back exit. “Kai,” I said in surprise, coming to a dead halt. His eyes flickered to Vincent, who also came to a stop. “I see your guard dog is …
Chapter 25 ♀ The rest of that night and Saturday passed by quickly, but the image of the smoky eyed man never left my mind. The scene played over and over again in my head, never giving me more than a little while to think of something else. Vincent knew something …
Chapter 26 . . “Emily. Emiiiily! Em! Wakey-wakey!” A pair of gentle but firm hands gripped my shoulders, lightly shaking me. “Come on, Em! Get up!” A low moan came from me and I tried to squirm out of the grasp of my captor. “Go away,” I ordered in a grumble. …
Chapter 27 . . The next few days rolled by without incident. I hadn’t seen that silver haired young man since the bowling ally and he was slowly easing out of my mind. Every now and again a random thought about him would pop up, but I’d shrug it away. It …
Chapter 28 . . After Ashton shoved me into the back seat of his black SUV, I could talk. Immediately I tried to escape out the door, but child lock was on. Great vampires think alike, I thought sarcastically. That or they all took a course in kidnap. “What are …
Chapter 29 . . Waking up in strange places was something I was growing accustom to. Having an IV attached to me wasn’t coming as a surprise either. I glanced down at it, my vision blurry and shifting between focused and unfocused. It took a moment for it to settle on …
Chapter 30 . . Just like before, the weather was dreary and rainy around the Rutherford Manor. With each drop of rain, I banged my head against the windowpane. Not only was it pouring, but also all the Rutherfords were busy doing something. Sebastian was doing his usual Kingly duties, …
Chapter 31 . . “Emily, Honey, are you going to eat?” Jumping slightly in surprise, my eyes shot to Luella, who was staring at me with a concerned expression. Changing my gaze to the food on my plate, I picked up my fork and stabbed a piece of squash, shoving …
Chapter 32 . . “Yep, I knew it, you look amazing in plaid,” I stated proudly, hooking Sebastian a thumbs up. He frowned, pulling at the collar of his dark green and lime colored plaid shirt. “You said every guy looks good in plaid…” “It’s true,” I responded, grinning. …

. Chapter 33 . . If it was possible to drown in dresses, I would’ve been dead five minutes ago. Every five seconds Fiona threw a new one at me, adding onto the mound that had been past my head about a half an hour ago. It was like her closet …
Chapter 34 . . As it turned out, Sebastian wasn’t lying when he said there were ugly vampires. Ugly is a mean word, but it was hard to find a kind word to describe the less attractive vampires entering the ballroom. It was nice to know not all vampires were the perfect …
Chapter 35 . . There’s no feeling that can compare to the sensation of taking off high heels after a seemingly endless night of dancing. It was like jumping into a cool reservoir on a sizzling hot summer day. I sighed deeply, closing my eyes, and sinking back in to the …
Chapter 36 . . Without warning, my arm was chicken-winged, causing me to cry out in pain. Joel held me tightly, keeping it almost impossible for me to struggle without inflicting pain on myself. “Joel! What are you doing? Let me go!” “No can do, Em,” he responded, shaking his …
Chapter 37 . . “Where do you think you’re going?” Vincent froze, bringing us both to a halt. My eyes went over his shoulder, where Luca and Joel were standing. Slowly, Vincent turned around, setting me onto the ground. When he caught sight of Joel, he narrowed his eyes. “Joel?” …
Chapter 38 . . “All these people really respected Sebastian, huh?” I commented, watching the steady stream of people filling the room his funeral was to be held in. Fiona smiled at me. “Everyone loved him.” My heart wrenched in pain, like it’d been doing constantly over the past two …
Chapter 39(semi final) . . Time is a curious thing. What may seem like a year to someone may seem like a day to someone else. For example, to me, six months felt more like six weeks. Funny how fast time flies by when you know you’re going to die. …
