Keira is a survivor. She doesn't fall for tricks, she turns her back to the past and walks on. She carries secrets as her burdens. Guilt and sadness curdle inside her, but she's learned how to mask it. Cares and carelessness cause her to make mistakes, the mistakes that cost her dearly. But she's learned how to ignore it. She is alone and scared. She has nobody to cling to, and maybe she doesn't want anybody like that. Keira is a survivor, but maybe she isn't. Maybe what she's hiding will make her unhinge. She's clever, but she's naive. She's careful, but not quite enough. Keira is a ticking time bomb. Someday she's going to implode. If only there was somebody to fix her. • Ø • Ø • Page count: ~344 Word count: ~35,255 Grammar Nazis will be satisfied. Highest rankings: #1 on "carl grimes" tag!!! #59 on the fanfiction tag!!!

--Sequel to Arianna Gilbert-- Arianna Gilbert never thought she would want to be a vampire, much less like being one. But her life isn't what she ever thought it could turn into. She never thought she would fall for Damon Salvatore. She never thought she would fall for an arrogant Original. She never thought her sister would become a vampire. Arianna Gilbert has survived, well technically, three years with Vampires, Werewolves, and Witches. The question is, how much longer can she survive? Will it be love that kills her or a stake to the heart?
