I run blindly down Koy’s passage way and out of his front door, not even pausing to shut it. I run until I’m out of sight of the house and then I stop. I bend double, my hands on my knees as I try to get my breath back. Each gasping breath sends fire through my lungs.

I try to tell myself I didn’t see what I saw. That I couldn’t have seen that. But I know I did. When Koy pulled back from our kiss, for just a second, his eyes were yellow with black slits running down the center. They weren’t human eyes. They were the eyes of a reptile. I don’t know what he is, but I know that no matter how crazy it sounds, he’s not human.

Is that what Cole meant when he said he was bad news? Does he know his best friend is some sort of monster? If so, then I owe him the mother of all apologies.

My breathing is slowing now, and I straighten up and try to think rationally. It’s not easy, because nothing about what just happened is rational. I went from thinking my one true love might feel the same way about me as I do about him to realizing he’s a monster.

That’s not fair, I tell myself. He might not be entirely human, but he’s not a monster. Whatever he is, he’s the same Koy who has been in my life since I was sixteen years old. He’s the same Koy who once drove out to the middle of nowhere in the dead of night to collect me from a party I shouldn’t have been at and brought me home without telling Cole about it. He’s the same Koy who sent Leighton away when he got handsy with me. And he’s the same Koy I fell in love with.

I stand on the spot, torn. Half of me is telling me to walk away and never look back. But half of me is saying I should go back and talk to Koy. Find out what exactly is going on here.

My initial reaction was fear, but I realize now it was fear of the unknown, not of Koy. How could I be afraid of Koy? I know he would never hurt me. But I have hurt him. As I turned to flee, I saw the expression on his face.

I turn around and start to walk back toward Koy’s place. I hope he’ll give me a chance to explain, to tell him I’m sorry for the way I reacted. To tell him that nothing has changed. Because it hasn’t. I don’t care what he is. I want him. I … I love him.

I pull my cell phone out to call Cole and ask him if we can take a rain check on this afternoon. I am scrolling through my contacts when I hear a noise behind me. I spin around and I see a plank of wood coming towards me. I try to get my arm up to protect myself, dropping my cell phone in the process, but I’m too late.
