Disclaimer: I do not own House of Night, even if I wished that I did.

Heart pounding, blood pulsing.

This is the moment of victory we've waited for.

Why do I feel something's amiss?

Neferet's gone for good...I saw to that.

What could be wrong?

Heavy breathing, look around.

Wonder who's laying at the horizon?

Oh, please no, this can't be good.

Let the pity on Stevie Rae's face be for anybody else.
