"You're in my veins, and I cannot get you out...." Alithia Belle has only known the real dark and coldness of the world since a young age. She was dismissed as the quiet girl that had everything she could ask for. A loving boyfriend, a place she could call home, and was accepted into the most prestigious high school in New York, what more could she ask for? Little did anyone know that the 'loving boyfriend' was nothing more than an act, that the place that was supposed to be her safe haven was the place where her nightmares resided and thrived. She wanted to blend into the background until she could no longer be seen, not noticed for what be called a talent of hers. She doesn't understand why the most handsome guy, Jason, at the new school would take interest in her. She is plain, nothing close to beautiful, so why? Will she let Jason into her disturbing world before its too late? Or will she find out of the secret of the things that she only read in her fantasy books and slip farther into the shadows that threaten to consume her?
