within myself, reverberating delicately, rising as it reached my ears, but it didn’t come from him. It came from somewhere else. Somewhere inside me.
     A melodic voice echoed inside my thoughts, speaking to me, telling me what to do in soft overlapping words, a rush of whispers swirling around me. Intuitively, I listened, searching within my mind as the whispers surrounded me, before I made the final decision that would save my life. I opened my eyes.
    I locked them onto his.
    The screaming pain inside my mind and body died down, instantly silent. For a moment, I thought I had gone deaf; all sound had disappeared from my ears. But just as suddenly, a scorching heat rushed through me and my body jerked sharply against Rob’s. I felt the flames curl under my skin, rising and searing as they reached up into my face. I felt my lips swell, my cheeks flush, and my eyes ignite with the infernal heat.
    His eyes widened, but not in fear. I watched with detached curiosity as the black slits in his eyes dilated into wide, black saucers.
    The heat unfurled throughout my entire body, stretching out wide, snaking through my arms and legs, lifting my head and taking me over. Simultaneously, a quiet voice in my mind was trying to tell me something, to stop this, but some type of need, some type of hunger inside me refused to listen.
    I removed my right hand from his other shoulder and braced it against his bare left forearm, keeping my eyes on his.  This time, there was no electric pain. The heat boiling inside my body was too strong.
    “You want to come to me,” I said, and I was surprised and pleased at how melodic my voice now sounded. Like chimes and quiet bells ringing softly together.
    I easily gave into whatever need was grabbing hold of me. Although I was conscious and knew what was happening, my body didn’t feel like my own. I felt the wind stir around us, blowing my hair up and around, twisting the strands around my face. Rob was mesmerized.
    “ You are beautiful...” he lisped through his fangs.
    I felt his body relax underneath my grip.  My swollen lips curled up into what I thought was a smile, but I didn’t know. I couldn’t feel my face any longer; the heat had taken over.
    Only one feeling managed to break through the strange fervor and register in my heat-saturated mind, taunting me, begging me. Hunger. My stomach clenched with tension and pain, and I searched within the swirling whispers to learn how to staunch it, and it was then that I knew.
    Without a second thought, without any hesitation, I pulled him in for a kiss.
     

CHAPTER FIVE
     
    Cold.
    I woke up, shivering, confused, and instantly frightened.
    Black .
    All I saw was darkness, but to my left, I registered a shaft of light coming from underneath a door.
    Sounds.
    Creaking, billowing sounds above me, and distant laughter and thumping bass coming from underneath me.
    A party?
    Yes, a party.  I started to remember. I was at a party with Macy, she had grabbed me a beer that had spilled all over my cardigan, and then....?
    I felt hard, cold ground beneath me, powdery like loose dirt, and realized I was lying down outdoors, clear plastic swaying softly in the wind above me. I moved to my side, groaning at the sudden pain it caused me, when I felt it.
    A warm arm beside me, but it wasn’t mine. Warm, and slick.
    My eyes started to adjust, and I noticed a shape beside me, a shape that looked remarkably like a person. I raised my hand to my head in an attempt to quell the pulsing pain, and then jerked when I felt warm slickness on my forehead.
    “What the....?”
    I brought my hand to my face, and saw red. “ What the...? ”
    I felt the scream building in my throat as my mind finally caught up to what my eyes were seeing.
    Blood, blood everywhere . Blood all over me.
    Trembling, I looked down at the face beside me. “Rob?” I gasped. “Rob?”
    Panic shot through me. Rob was beside me, but he wasn’t Rob anymore. His normally soft green eyes were
