She could feel her bones creaking with the slow movements. She wanted to cry out in pain, but bit her tongue.Lily swallowed, and rolled over as carefully as possible. This attempt wasn’t enough to end her horrible existence. However, it was at the top of her list of most painful attempts.If a vampire couldn’t kill her, then what could? What would?
