You have better luck than you think you do,_ Cian said firmly.Turning back toward him, she said, __eah? Prove it?__ou found me.__eah, and awakening your inner vampire, scaring the shit out of yourgirlfriend, and screwing up your life.__hen that's my bad luck,_ he corrected her.

I threw back my head, my hair falling about me like a great red curtain, and cried out._ My eyes felt hot and burned with tears as my body trembled with the passion for blood._

I could feel the urgency in the driver__ voice as he prodded the horses to greater momentum. The rumble of thunder could be heard rolling through the mountains as foreboding dark clouds rolled overhead obscuring the starry sky._ The sun vanished with one last glimmer through the pine trees, then night took possession of the earth._

I felt the presence of the night all about me: a living, breathing entity, whispering soft words against my flesh._ I had never before felt the silken touch of the night caress me as I did now._ It was a frightening, yet exhilarating experience._ It was as if the night itself were attempting to seduce me.

How did I become this monster_this creature that feasts on the blood of innocents?_ I stare at my bloodstained dress and feel nothing but hatred for what I have done._ To know how callously I killed before and felt no regret, now pains me._ I killed before with no remorse._ But tonight_tonight, what I have done is unbearable._
