Renie
I drifted in darkness, blind and deaf to anything but the constant, gnawing
ache in my stomach. Every so often a warm, sweet liquid slid down my
throat and the hunger pangs faded, but never for long.
That terrible hunger always surged back, like fire.
Occasionally, there were snatches of awareness: the sensation of cool
hands touching my face; the faint murmur of a male voice. At the back of
my fevered brain, I was aware that I knew that voice, loved that voice. But
then the hunger roared back and everything was lost.
It could have been days, months, or even years before I finally cracked
my eyes open. A corniced ceiling took shape above me, bright spots of light
coalescing into a crystal chandelier.
Pieces of memory filtered back into my battered brain.
Bel e Morte.
I was lying tangled in black satin covers in a huge four-poster bed, and
the walls around me were indigo blue, much darker than the pale-gold
bedroom I shared with Roux. Light from the chandelier winked off a pair of
swords mounted on the wall.
I knew this room—this was Edmond’s bedroom.
And standing by that bed was Edmond Dantès himself, the vampire I’d
fallen in love with. He looked like a dark angel, all coal-black hair and
ivory skin, eyes glittering like diamonds, and the breath would have caught
in my lungs at the sheer beauty of him . . . but I no longer needed to
breathe.
I touched my throat, then pressed my palm to my chest. No heartbeat.
Memories rushed back, making me reel: June’s escape from the west
wing, the attack on Belle Morte, my final attempt to help her, which had
ended with her plunging a knife into my chest, and—
“Etienne,” I gasped. My lungs felt rusty and my lips were dry.
The vampire who had pretended to be my friend—who’d helped me find
the truth about June only to reveal that he was the one who’d killed her and
turned her into a monster.
Edmond slid onto the bed next to me, as graceful and as fluid as a cat.
“Hush, mon ange. Don’t worry about that now.”
I recoiled from him instinctively, and Edmond went very still.
Emotion roared in my head, making it hard to think.
I was dead.
I had died out there in the snow.
All I’d wanted when I’d come to Belle Morte was to make sure that June
was okay, and now I couldn’t even comprehend what the future held. I’d
never grow older than eighteen. I’d never have a career. It would be years
before I built up enough UV resistance to spend any real time in the sun.
All the things I’d taken for granted as a human were lost to me now.
The pain of all those lost maybes caught in my throat, making my eyes
burn, but no tears fell.
My palm was still pressed to my chest, vainly waiting to feel the thump
of a heart that would never beat again.
