I needed to find a way to delay the ceremony. Everything depended on it.
I could not become a vampire. I had only just gotten a tiny bit of acceptance back from the other slaves. They would reject me forever if I became a vampire.
And if I changed, would I ever see my family again? What if I did, and I hurt them?
The vampires were ruled by their unholy thirst. What if I looked at my little sister, and saw only a source of blood?
If I became a vampire, I could never be with Jacob again. He would never accept me like that.
So how did I delay the ceremony?
I had no influence over the preparations. I didn’t even know what the ceremony involved. So there was no way I could sabotage the ceremony.
I could sabotage myself, though. If I was injured, I could not participate in any
