THIRTEEN

Sam’s eyes flew open in a rage of fire. He looked all about the room, having no idea where he was. He felt as if there were a film over his eyes, a filter. Something was very, very different.

He could tell that he was in a huge stone chamber. Although it was dimly, he could still see everything clearly. As if he had night vision.

But it was more than that. He didn’t feel himself. He felt a new kind of power coursing through his veins, through every pore of his body. His sense of smell was heightened, as was his sense of hearing. He felt enraged. Caged. Ad he felt like he needed to destroy something.

With his new, keen sense of touch, he sensed without looking down that his arms and legs were shackled. He felt the cold of the metal cutting into his skin. And he also knew, instinctively, that he had the strength to shatter them.

With the slightest jerk of his wrists, he tore the shackles from the wall. Cinderblock blocks came flying out with them. His strength was incredible.

He looked over, and for the first time saw, right in front of him, what he had failed to see before. Samantha. Standing there.

Some dim part of him still recognized her, but another part of him didn’t. He knew in the back of his mind that she was familiar, but in the front of his mind, he sensed something else about her. That she was his kind. Whatever that meant.

She took two steps towards him and placed her palms on his cheek, trying to get him to focus on her.

“Sam, can you hear me?” she asked. “I need you to look at me. Focus on me. I need you to listen.”

He felt the touch of her palms on his cheeks, and he didn’t like it—didn’t want to be touched by anything or anyone.

In one swift motion, he reached up and roughly shoved her hands off of him.

She took two steps back and stared at him, wide-eyed, shocked. Hurt.

“Don’t touch me,” Sam growled back. He was shocked at the sound of his own voice. It was now so deep, so guttural. Like the voice of an animal.

“Sam, please, I have to explain to you what you’re going through,” she said. “Don’t be afraid—”

“I fear nothing,” he growled, taking a step towards her, feeling his rage rise. “I could crush you in an instant if I chose.”

She took a step back, and he saw the fear in her face.

“Sam, please listen. I’m on your side. Trust me. You have to trust me. I turned you. Do you hear me? I had to turn you.”

Turned me, Sam thought.

His brain, overloaded with emotion and hormone, tried to register what she was saying. Turned me. A part of him started to remember. Being chained. Samantha’s entering the room. Her fangs…. Yes, he remembered now.

He stared at her with a newfound hatred.

She took another step back.

“Please Sam, you have to understand,” she said. “I had to.
