CHAPTER 51 I was a Human, Just Like You

　　Blood.

　　Blood tainted the air. To Gayle's dismay, her mouth was watering even though it was vampire blood. She had to eat, even if the thought of it made her nauseous. 'Jared hurt me more than I initially thought.' Gayle walked the halls with confidence, thinking, 'I can hold out another week.'

　　As she passed, the vampires bowed to her, and she politely nodded at them. Gayle hated it when they treated her like she was a goddess. Except for the fact that she was Jared's wife, she could have been any of them. In no way did she rise above them simply because she was his wife.
