weakly. I moved down lower to William’s lips. I kissed him softly. His breath was warm on my cold cheek.
“I love you.” I whispered to him.
“I love you too.” He kissed my lips softly, looking me in the eyes, smiling. I turned my face away, pressed my neck to his lips, and waited. I waited to save him, waited to save myself or possibly die trying to do both, only time would tell.
I felt the sting as his teeth sank into the soft skin of my neck. I gasped in pain and shock, and I bit my fisted hand as I put it to my mouth to muffle a cry. I could feel Roth’s arm around me in support.
“Hang on Corrine, we are here. We will not let anything happen. It’s going to be okay.” Roth’s voice was soothing as I tried to breathe. I felt my head spin now, and my vision was going out. I couldn’t hold myself up anymore. I collapsed into Roth’s strong arms, suddenly weak and tired.
“Enough, enough!” Doc’s voice boomed and I felt myself moved away from William, then all went dark. The voices muffled at first then I heard nothing but silence. I figured I was dead or dying. It was over for me apparently.
I could make out bits and pieces of their conversation, but the darkness would not let go of me. I had to trust that Doc and the others would help me and not let me die. I had to pray that I had given William enough blood to save him.
I felt as If I was spinning; my world was gone. I could feel people touching me, moving me but I couldn’t respond. I had no control over my body. I felt cold sometimes and numb the next minute. I wanted to cry but could not. My body was like a tomb, much like when I was in coma months ago.
I don’t know how long I was out; it felt like forever. I suddenly could hear voices clearly, namely William’s. He begged me to wake up, to come back to him. I was so happy he was alive, it all had worked, and I had saved him. I could feel him holding me in his arms stroking my hair. I fought the fog I was in and struggled to open my eyes.
I could feel myself able to move now. I could move my hands and I was no longer as cold as before.
I opened my eyes, and looked straight up at William. The blue of his eyes was so brilliant and so welcoming I gasped.
“You’re back. Corrine, I love you so much.” He kissed me softly, pulling me close to his chest. “I thought I had lost you. We all did.” I sighed in relief as he kissed me again. I was alive and I was with the love of my life. I had made it. Doc and Lydia were also at my side smiling at me, happy I had pulled through.
“I love you William. I will be with you forever.” I leaned my head back on his chest, never had I felt more loved and more secure than now.
“Yes.” He smiled looking down lovingly at me. “We will have an eternity to be together. I will never leave your side, and we will be as one.” I had survived a nightmare to wake up into a fairy tale. I had my Prince Charming now or really my vampire prince, but that is fine with me. That is just my kind of fairy tale, a really twisted one.

Chapter 1 Book Two
Awakening
It seemed like a miracle, to be in Williams arms. I was a bit dazed and very confused, but I was slowly recalling what had happened to bring me right here to this point. The past year William and I had fallen in love, shared our deepest secrets. I also learned to accept the fact my boyfriend the love of my life, William Darcy was in fact half vampire and half human.
We had faced my crazy ex boyfriend Todd Downs, who tried to kill me not once but twice. Unfortunately, he had escaped after the last attack on me; the police had not been able to track him down for many months. Also, as if that were not enough, we both nearly died facing Williams vampire “father” the one who made him a vampire Vincent. The battle with him was exactly what put me right here in
