KATIE'S POVThe whole city was thrown into a state of outrage, predictably. I wasn't even looking at the internet and yet i could still feel all of the heat from the news and the thousands of thousands of people giving their own commentary and showing just how they felt about the release of Dominic.

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 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
