It seemed fitting that Gabe should be my first.
My canines grew, and I sank them into his flesh. He shuddered.
The first taste of his blood was something I’ll never forget. Like lust and love combined. A heady combination.
All my life I struggled with food, and settled on strictly vegetarian, but in that moment—the instant I tasted Gabe’s blood—I knew I’d never crave anything else ever again. It was exactness, precision, completeness. And I couldn’t get enough.
I sucked harder, yanking his neck closer. The more I drank the more I needed…
“Snow! Stop!” Professor Pops’ voice sounded far away. He tried to force me off Gabe, but I was stronger. Faster. I withdrew my fangs momentarily, and sat up, sending the palm of my hand smashing into Professor Pops’ sternum. He let out a grunt as he smacked against the wall with a crack.
There were others in the room. From the edges of my blood-filled vision I heard their cries of concern.
“I told you something like this would happen.”
“We shouldn’t have left her alone.”
I closed my eyes to clear my head. Who were they talking about? It couldn’t be me.
Someone gently pulled me off Gabe. I opened my eyes, and saw Dorian’s concerned face.
“Snow. Can you hear me?” he asked.
“What happened? Gabe and I were training and…” I followed Dorian’s gaze. On the floor lay Gabe, his body twisted at an unusual angle; part of his neck gaped opened. He was covered in blood. So were my hands.
My body began to shake. Not Gabe. No! “Is he—?” I couldn’t finish. Please, no. “Tell me,” I shouted.
No one moved.
An unbearable agony crawled up my stomach, into my chest, and settled in my throat. I screamed, the sound unearthly. Most of the brother’s and Professor Pops covered their ears. But I couldn’t stop.
“Snow.” Dorian sounded more pained than he looked, and he looked completely broken. I pulled out of his grasp.
Gabe is dead. Gabe is dead. I… killed Gabe.
You’re one of them now, my inner voice spat.
The brothers, and Professor Pops regarded me like I was an untamed animal—a monster.
The scream in my throat grew louder, and I bolted. As I went through the Museum of the Supernatural, the glass cases shattered. I stumbled up the stairs, through the front door.
Windows broke.
Glass fell like rain.
Still I couldn’t stop.
I ran.
Afterword
I hope you enjoyed the first four volumes in the Blood and Snow series. Snow White from Salem, Massachusetts is one of my all time favorite characters. I love that she starts out sweet, somewhat bumbling, and totally unsure about her clothing situation. After the bite from her Hunter her life begins to change—physically and emotionally. At the end of volume four there is no doubt even bigger changes lie ahead.
Thank you so much for reading. I hope you’ll continue the series and find out what’s next for the revenant, Snow White.
If you loved reading the first four volumes in the series, do me a favor. Go back to amazon and leave an honest review. It only takes two minutes, and will help me a great deal.
Thanks again, and happy reading!
