Chapter XVII
After Christmas, everything turns quiet. My mom goes around the house in her usual routine. Cleaning, washing clothes, making dinner, working on her cases. She's a hard-working woman. I help with what I can. Doing the dishes, having my room clean, helping with the laundry. I have never liked being still. I guess I do take after her. The days move slowly. I spend my time helping in the house and in my room. I curl on the bed with my new books, my MacBook, and my cellphone. I text the guys now and then. Penelope is stubbornly wanting to do a New Year's Eve party. I don't know if I'm up to it. After the last party we were, well let's just say, it wasn't the best up to a point.

My bed is so warm. I haven't had a nice restful sleep in a while. Dreams about William have been hunting me night after night for some time now.

There's a knock at the door."Come in," I say in a raspy voice.

The wood's dark and steady surroundings oppress my chest. I'm here. The same forest, the same night, the same uneasy feeling. Fear. Now that I know who is waiting for me, who is chasing me, the fear and confusion invade my lungs. I think I can hear him in the distance. His steps, his body. Him. The nightgown clings to my cold shivering body. I glance at my feet. There is white, untouched snow beneath them. I start walking from where the sounds come from. I'm aware of my footsteps. I don't want to let him now I'm here. Closer. Closer. There is someone else. He's not alone and he isn't chasing me. I can't see him, but I sure do feel him. His body. His imposing presence. William. I hear him whispering. Talking to someone I can't see or feel. My

The smell of alcohol and morphine wakes me up. I glance around me. I'm back at the hospital again. This has to set some kind of record.

It's so cold without him. I miss his warmth inside me, on me. I miss his touch, his heavy breathing, his full lips on mine, and his body. This has slowly become torture. I'm connected to him, even if it is in a minimum now, I miss him desperately. Connected and so far apart.He got better and was released from the hospital. He didn't quite remember what happened, just that he got hurt. I guess that throw across the room did more damage than I thought. I also thought that he was going to come aft

Trees after trees are all I could see. We move farther and farther away. My hands have been bound behind my back. The rope is so tight that I can barely feel my fingers. I wiggle them, but I don't feel them attached to my hand. It's like they aren't mine. The Deamhans are around me. Guarding me. They have given me a shot of something, I don't know what. It keeps me out of my head. Out of my powers. Megan drags me around the woods. William isn't far behind. They drag me around what feel for hours. Finally, we make it up to a clearing. There are various parked cars. Among them William's. His silver Lexus shines under the full moon.
Born Blessed
The second part of the book starts here.To recap what happened in the first part, Alice discovered that she wasn't human on her eighteenth birthday. She discovered that she belonged in a world where magic exists and those who possessed it are those who come from the stars. These people are called Blessed and they possess extraordinary powers. They are a community hidden not only from the world but from demons as well. These demons are called Deamhans and they thrive in not only killing human beings for sport but Blessed too. They kill them for their blood and because in doing so they absorb their powers for a short period of time.
