Rain hammers against the high school window, turning the world beyond into a watercolor smear of grey and green. Bella sits apart, her true golden eyes masked behind brown contacts, watching the storm. A cold, profound loneliness sits in her chest, heavier than the secret she keeps from her father, the taste of animal blood, the terrifying stretch of an unchanging eternity. Then, the door creaks open. A stranger walks into the room. Her dead heart gives a phantom lurch. She knows, with a certainty that feels like fate, that this person shares her nature.
