Have you every wonder about the world around you? Well, have you? Also do you know what is really out there? Do you think legends, myths, or folktales are real?
OK I'm very sorry for bombing you with questions, it's just I died a few years ago. No one, and I do mean not a soul, knows that I'm dead. My mom is an addict, and my dad is a drunk abusive man, my twin brother has disappeared, and my sister is away with her abusive mate.
We live in a world were everything is a mistake, I am living proof, there is nothing good about this life. But the one I'm living has me on edge, all the time.
Do you want to know how I died. Well, I was dancing in a club, when a man caught my eye. I don't know what it was about him, but he lured me to his house, that smell like death. I should have stopped and asked him why, but all I could think about was him.
I walked in this bed room, got a few drinks, and we has sex. But that didn't kill me. No it was after, when he tried to suck me, my blood, dry. I admit that I didn't register what was going on, at first, but when I did I bit him back. I mean, this is what is in all those vampire movies and book that I have read about. There is one thing that I know is for sure, if the family jewels are hit it will be all over it.
And before I could get out alive a pain hit me. The pain was so bad that when it hit me I was crippled. I was doubled over, and as I knew it he was watching me kick and scream.
I never did get his name.
I stayed there for probably hours, but it felt like days. I had no sense of time. I know for a fact that he wasn't going to help me.
My last days, I mean hours, were spent on the floor. I final felt my heart give up. I was still conscious, I could still hear the drumming in my ear. I didn't want my life to end that way, but it did...
I thought I could hide forever, but fate had other plans.
I can't remember what it feels like to be happy. I'm sure I felt it long ago, back when I thought I was in love. Great husband, great job, great life. Great big lie. At least, that is what my life has turned into now - a series of lies to hide the fact that I am not who I appear to be. The lies keep me hidden and safe... for now.
Surely, my ex-husband would never think to look for me in this sleepy little town. As I settle into my new life, I'm afraid it won't be forever. Could I really give up my job and best friend to go back on the run? Then, I meet Hunter and my world flips upside down.
One night of passion is all I can offer, but he wants more. That's the last thing I need, yet I find myself craving what I can't have. I can't deny this intense attraction that keeps pulling us together like a magnet, and he's not going to take no for an answer.
My heart fills with hope, but it only takes a moment for it to shatter. I'm not the only one keeping secrets, and Hunter's are even bigger than my own.
A single mistake is all it takes for me to put his life at risk, and sooner or later my web of lies is going to catch up to me. With everything spiraling out of control, I can only be sure of one thing... my life will never be the same.
