All of a sudden, my eyes burst open. I take a deep breath before looking around the room. Everything this is much clearer than before. I shove myself up before getting out of bed. Where is everyone?

I slowly walk around the room before glancing in the mirror. Who put this dress on me? My hair looks super red, like wow. I look over my face before screaming. My eyes. Oh my gosh, my eyes.

I hear multiple footsteps and I scream again. I can hear so much stuff. "Grace! Gracie! Gracelyn!" I quickly go to lock the door, but I go so fast I hit the door and let out a small cry at the pain.

I quickly speed away from the door and curl in on myself, wrapping my arms around knees as I start sobbing. I curl into the far corner as I hear everyone banging on the door to try to get me to open it for them.

"What am I? What's happening to me," I cry into my knees. I hear the door break off the hinges, but I keep crying into my arms as everyone piles in. This can't be real. This can't be happening.

I feel someone cold touch my arm and I flinch as thoughts hit me all at once. Where's Laurent? What happened? Did I die? What did I do wrong to be this way? Are my family and friends ok?

"Gracelyn, sweetheart. It's ok. Look at me," I hear my father say. I shake my head as I hiccup from crying so much. "No," I stutter while sniffling.

"Baby, it's ok. You're ok."

"No, I'm not!" I yell as I look up at everyone. Everyone's eyes widen and I sniffle again as my breathing becomes erratic. "I don't know what I am, you don't know what I am, why does everything look so clear, my eyes are freaky, I can't see the pack and Seth, and I just want to know what's happening!"

I cover my head again as I start crying again. I feel someone lift me up and place me on their lap. I curl up and cry into their chest. I feel my father mess with my hair and I slowly calm down, my breathing evening out, but I'm still crying softly.

"We'll figure everything out. You're ok now, kitten. You're ok."

"No I'm not," I cry. "I don't wanna be a vampire."
