Chapter 1
Meredith
My cousin Phoenix is moving from New York. Last time I visited Phoenix she seemed obsessed with any form of fiction and I didn't think that was changing even if people here Bathory would find her insane. I met some of her friends, they seemed so strange. One of them looked like Vlad. That drove me insane, especially when she mentioned that she had in fact liked this friend; Hendrix. If I had learned anything about Phoenix it was that she acted one way to the world but was a complete jerk in reality.
I just hoped Vlad would see past her little act. Carefully I applied lip gloss and came down stairs. Mom always favored her and I could see she was excited to pick up Phoenix. I was beginning to wonder just how things in Bathory would change with Phoenix around.
