Fighting. Always fighting. I was a lazy and vapid southern girl, used to watching the slaves do all the work. Now I was fighting for my life among other newborns. Their crazed faces, swimming in my memory, caused me to wince. I wasn't meant to be a killer. Then again, I hadn't chosen this life.

I had been forced into it.

The man she was talking about immediately shot me a dirty look when he felt my wavering loyalty to Maria.

I blocked those thoughts out when the vampires came into sight and our army began to charge. This was survival of the fittest.
