Shiddat Episode 16

16 year old Scarlet Paine finds herself changing in mysterious ways. She is becoming sensitive to light, able to read peoples’ thoughts, and is faster and stronger than she’s ever been. She doesn’t understand what’s happening to her, and tries to ignore it. But she can only dismiss it for so long.

Caitlin Paine, her mom, knows too well what’s happening to her daughter. She underwent the same transformation to vampire once, centuries ago. But now, in the present day, as a mere human, she has no memory of it. All she has is the journal she found in the attic—her mysterious vampire journal—telling of her exploits in another time and place, and of the vampire race being eradicated. But was there one exception to the rule? Could it be that Scarlet, her daughter, is the last remaining vampire on earth?

As Scarlet tries to fight who she’s becoming, she also tries to fight her intense feelings for Blake, a boy in her grade who she has a crush on. She can’t tell, though, if he’s into her, and with the big Halloween dance just days away, the pressure is on. She would do anything for Blake to ask her. But Vivian, the meanest of the popular girls, is also on Blake’s radar, and she’ll do anything to make Blake hers—and to make Scarlet’s life a living hell.

Luckily Scarlet has her own clique of friends to back her up, including her best friends Maria and Jasmin. They, too, have guy troubles—but it isn’t until Sage appears, the mysterious new boy, that her friends become obsessed. Scarlet finds herself attracted to him, too—and is surprised when it is her, of all the girls in the school, that he pays attention to. But her mind is set on Blake, at least for now, and she continues to hope he’ll ask her to the dance.

Just when it seems that Scarlet has what she wants, her body changes. Soon it may be impossible for her to be near her fellow humans. Soon, she may have to choose between her desire to live and her desire for love.

CRAVED is Book #10 in the #1 Bestselling series THE VAMPIRE JOURNALS, which begins with Book #1, TURNED!

In CRAVED, 16 year old Scarlet Paine struggles to find out exactly what she’s becoming. Her erratic behavior has alienated her new boyfriend, Blake, and she struggles to make amends, and to make him understand. But the problem is, she can barely understand herself what’s happening to her.

At the same time, the new boy in school, the mysterious Sage, comes into her life. Their paths keep intertwining, and although she tries to avoid it, he directly pursues her, despite the objections of her best friend, Maria, who has her own eyes set on Sage. Scarlet finds herself swept away by Sage, who takes her into his world, past the gates of his family’s historic river mansion. As their relationship deepens, she begins to learn more about his mysterious past, his family, and the secrets he must hold. They spend the most romantic time she can imagine, on a secluded island in the Hudson, and she is convinced she has found the true love of her life.

But then she is devastated to learn Sage’s biggest secret of all: he is not human, either, and he has only a few weeks left to live. Tragically, just at the moment when destiny has brought her greatest love, it also seems fated to tear them apart.

As Scarlet returns to the high school parties leading up to the big dance, she ends up in a huge falling-out with her friends, who excommunicate her from their group. At the same time, Vivian rounds up the popular girls to make her life hell, leading to an unavoidable confrontation. Scarlet’s forced to sneak out, making matters worse with her parents, and soon finds pressure building from all sides. The only light in her life is Sage. But he is still holding back some of his secrets, and Blake resurfaces, determined to pursue her.

Caitlin, meanwhile, is determined to find a way to reverse Scarlet’s vampirism. What she finds leads her on a journey to find the antidote, deep into the darkest corners of rare libraries and bookstores—and to an ancient discovery she can hardly imagine.

But it may be too late. Scarlet is changing rapidly, barely able to control what she’s becoming. She wants to be with Sage—but fate seems set on tearing them apart. As the book culminates in an action-packed and shocking twist, Scarlet will be left with a monumental choice—one that will change the world forever. How much is she willing to risk for love?

Kael Silvenia is more likely to be called an orphan. He lost his father at the age of 16 and it is not hidden from his knowledge that his mother had another man when his father was still alive. To make things even more complicated, it got worse when his father passed away. Her mother left him and eloped with another man when he turned eighteen. But even with that fact that her mother abandoned him, he couldn’t dare to loath her. So when the news came to him that his mother had been raped by the man she eloped with and was found thrown into the abyss, his world really collapsed. It's like life really played tough on his part when a fact emerged from her mother's autopsy result that apart from her male partner, there were nine other accomplices in the rape of his mother. Due to the trauma suffered from the findings, after a year of grieving, his mind made an action. It made a different persona. Timothy. His dark persona who is so much far from his weak personality. Timothy searched for the man who caused his mother's death but unfortunately the man is already dead. The only remains he got that has a big involvement on the man's life is a photo of his daughter when he went to the suspect's abandoned home. He found out that the assailant had been separated from his wife and daughter for a long time, so the only picture it has for its daughter was only twelve years old. That's when he decided that he would make sure the man would regret what he had done to his mother. He must have his revenge! Timothy looked for the girl on the picture and not long after, he found a match. Her name is Yngrid Angelique Villegas. As what the assailant did to his mother, Timothy raped Yngrid who was only twenty years old that time. The woman can't do anything but pity herself when he claimed her repeatedly. But despite Timothy's wickedness, Kael's personality prevailed when tears blurred the woman's eyes. He pulled himself together to stop Timothy. Conscience struck Kael's system. He started to investigate the girl's background. To his shock, his conscience swallowed him even more when he realized that Timothy had just mistaken the woman. She's not the daughter of his mother's rapist. He was even more conscientious when it became clear that even the business of Yngrid's parents was also sabotaged by Timothy. Due to lack of ways on how to approach Yngrid's family, he used the company's crisis as an opportunity to offer the Villegas a contract. All the terms that are stated in the contract are in favor of Yngrid's family. But there was only one thing he could not understand on himself. Why did he include in the contract that the woman must marry him?

가문의 장례식에 불청객이 들이닥쳤다. 선두에는 내 남편의 여자 친구라고 자칭하는 여자가 나를 노려보면서 불륜녀를 직접 찢어 죽이러 왔다고 했다. 나는 굳이 내가 아내라고 설명하기 싫었기에 장례식이 끝난 후에 다시 얘기하자고 했다. 하지만 그 여자는 화를 억누르지 못한 채 나를 덮쳤고 함께 온 사람들과 힘을 합쳐 나의 옷을 가위로 마구 잘랐다. 큰 소동이 벌어졌음에도 불구하고 가문 사람들은 그저 차가운 눈빛을 하고 지켜볼 뿐이었다. 그런 눈빛에 익숙해진 나는 자리에서 일어나 유골함을 가리키면서 말했다. “당신이 아무리 날뛰어도 소용없어요, 도현이는 나한테 아낌없이 주는 남자거든요. 저 유골함 보여요? 도현이가 16억을 주고 사준 건데, 그것도 박살 내보지 그래요?”그러자 그 여자의 표정이 일그러지더니 미친 듯이 부르짖으면서 유골함을 바닥에 던졌고 다른 물건을 집어 들고 유골함이 산산조각 날 때까지 내리쳤다. “뻔뻔스러운 불륜녀의 집안 사람들도 똑같이 추잡해! 내 남자 친구 돈에 손댄다면 절대 가만두지 않을 거야!” 그 여자는 이 장례식이 내 남편의 어머니 즉 나의 시어머니 장례식인 줄 꿈에도 몰랐다. 그 여자가 난동을 부린 이곳에서 시어머니의 장례식을 치르고 있었고 산산조각 나서 형체를 알아볼 수 없는 이 물건은 시어머니의 유골함이었다.

남편이 교통사고로 세상을 떠난 후, 나는 새벽부터 밤늦게까지 작은 식당을 운영하며 홀로 성재를 키웠다. 그리고 성재의 결혼식 전날, 나는 무심코 산 복권이 무려 16억 원에 당첨되었다. 이젠 고생 끝, 인생을 즐길 거라 다짐한 나는 곧장 식당을 팔고 노후를 준비하려 했다. 그런데 외지에서 일하는 성재에게 전화를 걸어 식당을 팔았다고 전하자마자, 효도심이 깊고 착하던 예비 며느리, 진연수의 태도가 180도 돌변했다. “설마 우리 집에서 함께 사시려는 건 아니겠죠? 저희가 일한 지 겨우 2년밖에 안 됐는데, 어머님까지 부양할 여유는 없어요!” 연수는 성재까지 위협했다. “당신이 우리 돈으로 당신 어머니를 부양하려고 하면, 결혼 생활도 끝일 줄 알아요!” 그 말에 화가 난 성재는 수연과 크게 싸운 후, 곧바로 나를 위로해 주었다. “엄마, 그동안 정말 고생하셨잖아요. 이제는 쉬셔야 해요. 앞으로는 제가 모실게요.” 나는 그런 성재에게 매우 감동했고, 사업 자금을 위해 4억 원을 더 줄 계획이었다. 그런데 다음 날, 성재가 큰 사고를 당해 1억 원이 급히 필요하다는 전화를 받았다. 나는 곧바로 돈을 송금했지만, 그 후로 성재와 완전히 연락이 끊겼다. 불안에 휩싸인 나는 태풍이 휘몰아치는 날씨에도 성재가 있는 도시로 향했다. 그리고 마침내 성재를 찾았을 때, 성재는 호텔에서 결혼식을 올리며 고인이 된 남편의 첫사랑을 향해 차를 올리며 어머니라 부르며 절하고 있었다. 더욱 놀라운 건 성재 옆에는 십 년 전에 사고로 죽었다고 믿었던 내 남편이 앉아 있었다.
