Chapter Thirty

Where do I go? Where can I go?

Melanie was walking in the freezing cold, the icy wind feeling great on her warm face. She was tired, completely worn out, and her body was so sore it was unbearable. But she had to keep moving if she wanted to get back to town, somehow. She wasn't certain she wanted to go back to Amy's house. The vampires did, after all, live on the same street, and it would only be a matter of time before they found her. She wasn't certain she wanted to sit there and wait for that.

Besides, she missed her mother. She hadn't seen her in weeks and wanted to make sure she was all right. Melanie had always been there to protect her mother when her boyfriends beat her or when she needed someone to help her to bed because she had gotten too drunk. It had always been Melanie's job.

Why did she feel like catching it, like hunting it down? Why couldn't she stop thinking about it? Why could she smell it like was it some delicious roast standing right in front of her?

Melanie shook her head and decided to move on. She walked a few steps more, when she suddenly heard something else, very clearly. It sounded like human voices cutting through the icy air. But not only human voices. They belonged to people she knew.

"That's Robyn!" she said and turned to look but couldn't see anyone. What was Robyn doing out here? Happily, Melanie was about to turn around and see if she could find her and then maybe she could help her get back to town, but then she heard something else, something that scared her far more than anything else in the world.

The sound of Robyn's vampire mother laughing.

"Pawprints," she heard her say. "Let's follow the prints and see where they lead."

Startled and terrified, Melanie began to run and soon realized she was able to run very, very fast; even though she
