“Are you planning on doing anything?”
“Like what? I don’t have many friends so a big party is not on the cards and I’m not really into parties anyway. I might just camp in with a few beers, a fatty completely bad for me pizza and watch re-runs of
Two and a Half Men
.”
“That sounds really sad, Cassandra, you need to get out and do things. Plus if you have people over you get presents.”
I pulled a face. I wasn’t a fan of presents. Aram had already sent me a present and I was a little afraid to open it in case he’d hired the vampire mafia to take me out or something. It might be a head in a box for all I knew but it was very prettily wrapped. Jareth had sent me coupons for free drinks at Dante’s in a badly concealed attempt to get me somewhere his brother or he could see me. He’d decided not to mention our little interlude on his bed and I was forever grateful for it. I felt uncomfortable around him as it was knowing how he felt about me.
I took a sip of my coffee that had been slowly cooling in my hands and LeBron continued his pacing until the sound of the mailbox flapping send him running like an excited puppy towards the door. I put my coffee down prepared to have to do some comforting when he got back. He came back into the living room and slumped into the chair across from me, and dropped the mail down on the table.
“So?” I said prodding him to get an answer. I was pretty sure I already knew what the answer was.
“I can’t,” he said and he was visibly shaking. “I can’t open it, Cassandra. I’m too scared to.” I looked at the pile of mail, the letter that was clearly from the doctors was sitting on top and it was perfect, he’d not even tried to open it. He was just sitting there staring at it like it might bite him. I took a deep breath reaching for it and when he didn’t try to stop me, snatched it off the pile.
“Thanks.” That was all he said. I flipped the envelope over breaki
ng through the seal with my nail and slowly I read him the results.

If remembering could bring about the end of everything, would you still try?
Karrin wakes up on the side of the road with selective memory loss; she knows her name and age but nothing more about herself. She walks the highway back to a town to find all but a few people have disappeared and that there are strange but beautiful beings hunting them down. It seems to her that some great apocalyptic event happened but she just doesn’t remember it.
Karrin however is in more danger than she realizes as someone in her new group of friends is more deadly to her than those hunting them down. When she finds one of them, a young man roughly her own age named Gabe injured, she goes against all she’s been told and helps him. Gabe in return wants to help her, help her to remember. Karrin’s memories, however, could put her in even more danger and bring an end to everything she now holds dear.

Can their love save the human race?
Thiess remembers very little of his life before he changed. His only memories now are of frozen mornings, naked and coated in human blood, and of running for his life from a Tracker bent on his destruction. Thiess prays for forgiveness and begs God to cure him of an affliction that turns him into a murderous beast, but as the Tracker closes in, he is losing any hope for salvation. Then he falls in love with Maria, and together, they race through the crumbling slums of a city slowing burning to the ground at the hands of a serial arsonist, setting off a chain of events that will threaten the existence of mankind.
