In the future, everyone who's bitten by a zombie turns into one... until Diane doesn't. Seven days later, she's facing consequences she never imagined. * * * * * As civilization collapses under a relentless wave of zombies, Diane and her friends take shelter in a military base. However, while she's rescuing another survivor, Diane gets bitten by one of the monsters. She hides it and runs away, knowing she only has days left to live. But she soon discovers she isn't turning into a zombie - she's turning into something else. --------- Excerpt: I looked up and stared. My reflection looked back at me in the mirror of the dark room. My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" I seethed. Harper's mouth fell open. "Did he just say what I think he said?" I blew out a huff of air through my nose in aggravation. "Yep."

'Mate' {•}~{•}~{•}~{•}~{•}~{•}~{•}~{•}~{•}~{•}~{•}~{•}~{•}~{•}~{•} Maria lives in House Crimson as one of the highest ranking vampires of her house. The second, to be precise. It's not because she's fought in countless wars, or lived so many hundreds of years, or can make people bend to her will with a threatening glare. She hasn't/doesn't do any of those things. She's only 17. Her rank might just have something to do with her bad@ss nature and undeniable knack for leadership, but who's to say for sure? Nevertheless, she's only second to the master and mistress themselves, who also just happen to be her aunt and uncle. Yeah... not great leaders, those two. They're cowards who abandon their house after the first signs of an invasion. Disgraceful. Now, Maria is left to try and fix things on her own with the werewolf invaders. But of course, there will be. . . complications, along the way.
