Mary-Anne felt every single reaction as though she were cast in the throes of a dream.

It wasn’t her. Couldn’t be her. The reaction to the blood all over the field had toyed with her and reached for her with sentient tendrils, which had triggered the vampire inside. A hungry vampire who craved destruction and wanted nothing more than to stretch the atrophied muscles of her powers and show the world what she was made of.

The Madness. She understood now why that was its name. The crazed lunacy welled inside of her, controlled by the primitive part of her brain.

It called to her like a succubus. Caressed her insides like an old lover.

Words whispered in her ear, telling her of her true power, teasing her to flex her fingers and snap some necks.

And she had loved it at first, had succumbed to its eroticism as she whipped around the horde of Mad and tore them to pieces. For the first time in as long as she could remember, she was free of the burden of restraint. A caged lion set free in the Serengeti.

Heads had torn off without resistance. Mad had fallen at her feet. Her power swelled like a tide within her, and soon the numbers were depleted. She was helping her friends. Utilizing the very gift of her bloodline and saving her crew.

Until it all had grown fuzzy.

She wasn’t even sure what had happened. At the calling of her name, she had turned, and in the place of the people she had once called friends, all she could see were targets. More Mad with glowing eyes, towering higher than the rest. A morsel of food ready to be destroyed and drained. Nothing more than a promise made to be broken.

A tiny piece of her still remained. As the Madness threatened to override, she had watched like the pilot of a ship which had gained sentience, and screamed inside her own head, begging for her body to not attack the others. To leave Caitlin alone. If she could only grab hold of the reins, then maybe she could steer the ship into the wilderness and run. Fall back to plan B and hide somewhere else in the world to die.

Caitlin’s eyes grew wide before the mountain of fur had smacked into her, and now she was tangled in throes with the Were. The stench of his blood was an insult to her nostrils. The blood of an ancient Kurtherian enemy that must be destroyed.

The Madness threw her body around, launched punches, and scratched at the beast. Amber eyes flashed past her face as they tumbled and fought. The Were was stronger than even she’d imagined he could be.

Fearsome teeth snapped at her face, Mary-Anne cried out and exerted her strength, finally gaining the upper hand enough to raise the bastard and hurl him through the air.

And then a strange thing happened.

At the sound of the Were’s bones smacking against the tree, a tiny glow of something lit within her. The smallest grain of regret and pity at her actions.
