Chapter XVIII
I glance one last time in the mirror. I don't look that bad. High and curled ponytail, dark jeans, a cute red and gold blouse, and some black platforms. Dressed to go party. I trot downstairs and find mom in her study.
"What you think?" I twirl for her. She smiles at me warmly.

Born Chapter XIX
Back to school again. To rushes, last-minute assignments, and not studying enough for a test. Back to seeing him again and being profoundly disturbed. I'm good with Chris now. I hope that doesn't change when I see him.Mom drops me off on the main gates of the academy. She hugs me tight, knowing that everything has changed since the last time I was here. I don't want to let go. This past weeks at home reminded me how normal I was. How normal I want to be again. Of course, this aside from Megan's
Born Chapter XX
My bed is so warm. I haven't had a nice restful sleep in a while. Dreams about William have been hunting me night after night for some time now. Dreams about him and me happily together, about him and me suffering together, about him killing me. I shrug the memory of those dreams away and stir in my bed. There's a knock at the door."Come in," I say in a raspy voice.
Born Chapter XXI
The wood's dark and steady surroundings oppress my chest. I'm here. The same forest, the same night, the same uneasy feeling. Fear. Now that I know who is waiting for me, who is chasing me, the fear and confusion invade my lungs. I think I can hear him in the distance. His steps, his body. Him. The nightgown clings to my cold shivering body. I glance at my feet. There is white, untouched snow beneath them. I start walking from where the sounds come from. I'm aware of my footsteps. I don't want to let him now I'm here. Closer. Closer. There is someone else. He's not alone and he isn't chasing me. I can't see him, but I sure do feel him. His body. His imposing presence. William. I hear him whispering. Talking to someone I can't see or feel. My
Born Chapter XXII
The smell of alcohol and morphine wakes me up. I glance around me. I'm back at the hospital again. This has to set some kind of record. Before this, I have never been here more than maybe two times per year. Now, this has become my personal hotel. I try to get up, but a sharp pain on my right rib prevents me. I am wrapped up in white gauze all around. My rib hasn't healed."It's the bond." William startles me. His arms are folded on his chest. His eyes blank staring at me from the foot of the be
Born Chapter XXIII
It's so cold without him. I miss his warmth inside me, on me. I miss his touch, his heavy breathing, his full lips on mine, and his body. This has slowly become torture. I'm connected to him, even if it is in a minimum now, I miss him desperately. Connected and so far apart.He got better and was released from the hospital. He didn't quite remember what happened, just that he got hurt. I guess that throw across the room did more damage than I thought. I also thought that he was going to come aft
Born Chapter XXIV
Trees after trees are all I could see. We move farther and farther away. My hands have been bound behind my back. The rope is so tight that I can barely feel my fingers. I wiggle them, but I don't feel them attached to my hand. It's like they aren't mine. The Deamhans are around me. Guarding me. They have given me a shot of something, I don't know what. It keeps me out of my head. Out of my powers. Megan drags me around the woods. William isn't far behind. They drag me around what feel for hours. Finally, we make it up to a clearing. There are various parked cars. Among them William's. His silver Lexus shines under the full moon.
Born Blessed
The second part of the book starts here.To recap what happened in the first part, Alice discovered that she wasn't human on her eighteenth birthday. She discovered that she belonged in a world where magic exists and those who possessed it are those who come from the stars. These people are called Blessed and they possess extraordinary powers. They are a community hidden not only from the world but from demons as well. These demons are called Deamhans and they thrive in not only killing human beings for sport but Blessed too. They kill them for their blood and because in doing so they absorb their powers for a short period of time. While Alice starts to learn about herself and about those who hunt her kind, she- with the help of her best friend Mia- starts to discover another part of herself, a part that is much too dark for anyone's liking. She is not only Blessed but a vampire as well. On top of all this, the crush she had developed on her Astronomy professor grows and some
Born Prologue
As he stares back at me my breath leaves my lungs in a rush and seems that my air isn't going to come back. His red eyes bore into my soul and wake up sentiments that I had buried deep inside me for years now. For 18 years he has been just a misconstrued memory. A sour reminder that I was indeed born. I never would have imagined that I would actually meet him someday; after all, he is supposed to be dead. As I stare back into those deadly, but captivating eyes, I feel my world shift under my feet; I am still wearing the gym clothes I had on when I was training with Mia. They are filled with dirt and dust.I feel my self-tremble underneath his stare that runs all over my body. He is my father, my creator, my doom.
