Lahat ng Kabanata ng KATHERINE: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

AUTHOR’S POVKatherine catching the plate had caught McDuffie by surprise, and now he no longer cared how loud he got."Now go and get me another sandwich, you worthless little chit," he shouted, rising in his seat a little to get in her face as much as he could.Katherine stared down at him calmly and coldly. The tension in the room rose as everyone waited to see what she would do, most of the guests hoping that she would just get him his sandwich rather than face him off. A great many of the guests had been won over by Katherine's easy smile and hard work, honest ethics, and nearly everyone in the room knew what McDuffie was capable of. Even the ones that didn't like her didn't want to see her blood spilled.No one noticed when one of the guests left the room.Someone called into the silence for her to just get him the sandwich, but she didn't seem to hear. All she did was stand... and stare, right at McDuffie. The silence loomed over the r

When Katherine woke up she was surrounded by the people she had come to know Over the last few days people she had come to consider her friends: Giselle, her teacher, mentor, friend; Sofia, the sister Katherine had always longed for but never had in Melody; Ray Stalls and Tracy Adams, the Couple who couldn't stop fighting... or stay away from each other either; Moonbeam, a vegetarian, earth-loving girl whose voice was always soft and kind, never a harsh word escaping her lips, and her boyfriend who was the complete opposite, Jamie Madison. The list went on and on, but the face that stood out the most to Katherine was Tyler's. His handsome features seemed so calm, yet Katherine could see turmoil in his eyes. There seemed to be some sort of war raging within him. She had come to know him so well, and yet not at all, over those last few, perfect days of blissful ignorance. He had always been standoffish with her, as though he was afraid to get too close. Their arguments didn't

Katherine was in shock. It had been over twelve hours since Giselle had informed Katherine that her parents had agreed to allow Katherine to date Tyler. When Katherine had agreed to this whole thing, she had been absolutely certain that her parents would laugh at the very idea of it but then again, not twenty-four hours ago, Katherine had known with absolute certainty that there simply was no such thing as vampires.Now, once again, Katherine was left wondering what she knew anymore. She felt angry, confused, and like her world was falling apart. What was next? Her parents told her she was adopted? Wouldn't that just be peachy...Apparently, Giselle had spoken with the Coven the night before, informing them that Katherine was, to her great annoyance, not to be left alone, even for a moment Sofia had even kept watch over Katherine the night before while she slept and would continue to do so until Giselle believed Katherine out of danger.It was driving Katherine

KATHERINE'S POVI walked home at a leisurely pace. It would be a long time before I got a chance to be alone again, and I already knew that I was going to get hell for pulling this stunt as it was, so I might as well enjoy it.I couldn't stop thinking about the man from my nightmares and how he now seemed to be invading my waking life as well. I had been having dreams of his voice for as long as I could remember but it had only been once I moved here that a face came with the voice.I wished that I could believe myself to be insane or over-stressed as then I could just get the help I needed, but I knew that I wasn't, it was just a wishful thinking. After everything that had happened over the last few days, I had learned that just because I couldn't explain something didn't mean that it wasn't real, this place is surely different from the other one's, creatures that look only good in books. I knew I would have to tell Giselle and the others, but I shrank from the

AUTHOR'S POVKatherine walked toward Giselle. She came to a stop a few feet before Giselle."Katherine? Are you alright?" Giselle asked, trying to distract her.It was obvious to anyone who knew the truth about Katherine's past that Giselle knew she'd spoken with Convel.Giselle knew she was in for it.Katherine laughed bitterly."Oh, I'm just peachy," Katherine said, her voice so upbeat and acidic at the same time that most everyone flinched. "You'll never guess who I met today, Giselle.""Katherine, I can-""What? Explain? Alright, Giselle. Go ahead and explain to me why you lied to me when you knew the truth about who I really was. Explain to me why you didn't tell me that you're my mother,"Katherine heard the gasps behind her and she could sense multiple pairs of eyes darting between Giselle and herself, but she couldn't have cared less at the moment. She could also sense the others scenting Convel's former presence
