Quote of the Day
Vlad gave me an assessing, unmerciful rake of the eyes as he listened to my internal struggle.
"So then, what are you?"
Since I was sixteen and my mother told me about my father, I'd wrestled with that same question. The sound of my heartbeat seemed to mock me. Each breath I took was a taunt.
. . .
But I wasn't human. I hadn't been since the day I was born, and I couldn't let myself pretend to be human now.
"Well?" Vlad asked with more emphasis.
I gave one last regretful glance at the ravine's rocky bottom before meeting Vlad's eyes.
"I am a vampire," I said, and backed away from the ledge.
