Elise hugged her knees to her chest and rocked back and forth slightly. She felt like she was burning up from the inside out. She pressed one pale hand to her forehead, but couldn't feel the fever that was sending red hot jabs of pain throughout her body.
This isn't possible, she thought, I'm a vampire. We don't get sick.
She turned to look at her shoulder and then tugged down the strap of her black tank-top, revealing a huge jagged bite-mark that was mostly healed over, but was a vicious red in some parts and a deep, bruised purple in others.
A few days ago, she had been bitten by a rogue lycan, but had told no one, not even Christian, because if Lord Julian found out, she would be dead.
Hybrids weren't even allowed, but no-one even spoke of what would happen to a person who was a combination of all three species.
She knew Selene's boy, Michael or whatever his name was, was a hybrid, but at the moment she didn't really care.
I have to get out of the mansion, she thought, getting slowly to her feet, Something's happening to me and I can't be around anyone else when it does.
As she passed the window, the moon struck her flesh like an icy knife plunging beneath her skin, into her belly.
Elise fell to her knees with a gasp and then pulled up the bottom of her top.
See, no blood. Now get going girl, before someone comes in and finds out what's happening.
She grabbed the windowsill and forced herself to her feet. Prying open the window, she took one last look at the door behind her and then, stepping onto the windowsill, let herself drop the cool grass.
She hit the ground running and kept running until she was far, far away from the mansion............
