The Bite (Edited)

"Do what you want...But you're one of us now, Laina. You're supernatural. You're a panther."

"That's what the Executors do, they send the people who broke you to break you again."

"Laina, the Executors don't just want you to die, they want you to suffer before you die. They will torture you with everything, be careful. They will strip you of all happiness until you are left with nothing but an empty soul full of sadness. Do not let them do that to you. Hold on to the only happiness you have and do not let that go."
...

Laina moves away to escape a dark past. She goes to a new school and makes new friends. But as she does, she tries to keep her secrets as secrets. She wants to have a new life- a life away from her past, her dark, bloody past. She manages to get a "new" life, but not the "new" she expected.

She gets bitten by a panther with glowing eyes and realized that many in her school had this same incident with different animals, they call themselves the Bitten. She learns to accept the Bite and live with it, to find the good that she received from it. But, like everything else in the world, the good comes with bad and the bad comes with good.

What happens when the Executors, an organization that hunts people who have the Bite, begin to chase after her as old wounds are ripped open once again? After all, what could one single bite really do to a person's life? Little does Laina know that this Bite will change her life completely.

{just saying, the ending kind of goes a bit downhill}
