figure out a way to escape the Vampire Government.
When night fell, Samantha awoke first, having slept for almost 24 hours. Still tired, but feeling better, Samantha rolled over and hugged Micah close to him, snuggling against his bare skin. Although it did not entice her to drink fr om him, Micah’s natural scent was heavenly to Samantha.
As he slept, Micah instinctively wrapped his arms around Samantha and held her close to him. Samantha nuzzled into him and wondered where she was. However, she trusted Micah, so she was not concerned. She knew that he would not steer her wrong. Somehow, although they had just met, really for the first time, a few days ago, Samantha felt a connection to Micah that far surpassed any connection she had ever made with anyone else. She had always liked him—this was true—but it was not until she met him the other night on the beach that she really came to understand the depths of her feelings for him.
Samantha had never felt this intimate and passionate about anyone , and when she found out that he was a vampire, that somehow only intensified her feelings. She had never had such a need before, and despite all that was going on right now, ultimately, this need was freeing and empowering. Samantha had never experienced this sort of bliss before. This passion and this sense of power that coursed through her veins gave her meaning.
All of her life, Samantha felt that she was the jeered and misunderstood child. She was perceived as weak and naive. In high school, although she was popular, she felt she was only popular because of her good looks and the laugh that she seemed to provide everyone. She seemed to always do something stupid, even though she knew she was intelligent and she would always get that look. “That look” was that of almost pity and certainly disbelief, that she was that sheltered, that she had never experienced that situation or that she was that gullible. Seeing the best in people seemed to be Samantha’s bane and for whatever reason, no matter what she did, she could not escape it.
Even her parents, up until this point in her life, had disallowed many freedoms and experiences that Samantha had thought it would have been better for her to have had. Try as Samantha might to please them and to better herself, although they were good, supportive and loving parents, Samantha felt that her accomplishments always fell short of her potential. If she got an A on a project, it should have been an A+. If she tried out for a sport, she had to be the best. If she received a 4.0 GPA from high school, she should have gotten better scholarships. Then, above all, she should start college right after high school and complete her degree before going on any silly field trips.
The last remark was her parents ’ reaction when she informed them of her plan to backpack around Europe. What they did not seem to understand was that the experience that trip would bring her would make her so much more worldly and so much more connected to the world around her. It would help her soul to break out of the shell she had encapsulated her true self within so many years ago, hoping to come of age and return a wiser, more confident woman.
However, this experience with Micah and Constance had already done this for her. Although it was scary and she had no idea what life had in store for her very next breath, Samantha knew that she was becoming her own. She was now a creature to be revered. Sure, at first, she was appalled at the treasure an entire race found in her living blood, but the more she came to terms with it, the more Samantha realized her own obvious worth.
Backpacking through Europe, Samantha had planned to study vampire l ore and history, because all that she had read about them fascinated her so much. The thought that a race of humans dating back to the dawn of time and surviving for so long, continuing to successfully hide their raw form in plain sight, was a magnificent feat which
