You who practically soiled herself in terror of me. Oh how much fun I had watching you c

KATIE“Are you sure about this, Katie?” Dominic asked, concern and mild anger in his tone.We were both curled up in bed, wrapped around each other, and I could feel Dominic’s hold on me grow tighter. I could understand why he felt this way, but I was proposing to do what I wanted to do to help him.

Dominic’s eyes widened a bit. “Are you serious?”I nodded at him. I could feel them, the tiny little creatures. There had started moving and had perhaps kicked a bit too hard causing me pain. But now they were still again. “The pain has stopped,” I said. “They’ve calmed down.”Dominic seemed a lot c

KATIE'S POV I knew that it would all turn chaotic real fast, but I still wasn't prepared for the level of chaos and violence that had broken out in such a short amount of time. Once Xander had unleashed his vampire warriors on the people Dominic, who had been anticipating such a move, rallied his o
KATIEThe reunion between me and Dominic, Dustin and Damien was nothing short of emotional. I had not seen them in months by now, and it was all so exciting seeing them and touching them . Especially as there were times where I had feared that I would never see them again. They had missed me as much
I collapsed to the ground, clutching my throat and gulping and coughing till it hurt. "That is the only warning I'm going to give you," Xander said from somewhere above me. "I mean the nerve of you, to think you could try to change me. If you even think of trying to manipulate me again, this will
KATIE'S POVThe words I had screamed out rang in the air, almost seeming to echo. Xander stopped in his tracks immediately, stunned by what I had said. "W-what…what did you just say?" he asked, his hand tightening on my wrist even as he was no longer forcefully groping and undressing me."I did. I-

KATIE'S POVThe vampire world was becoming more and more familiar to me as the weeks crawled by. That was not a statement that I ever in my dreams imagined that I would even be making. Before all of this, the vampire world had seemed to me like nothing but a mere, distant thought. Now, I was entrenc
