Married With Vampire and Vanished
Cold spread through my veins, fast and merciless.
Tears slid down my temples.
I had told myself I was ready.
That letting go would hurt less than letting my child live in a world like this.
So why did my chest ache, as though something vital were being ripped from me while I lay there unable to resist.
As my consciousness began to fade, I saw my birth parents forcing their way toward the operating room, my mother shouting my name, my father already moving ahead of her. Several vampires lay sprawled on the floor behind him, struck down as though they had never stood a chance.
