Ava: A Shocking Finale (I)

I need to find Lisa.

Those uncharacteristic texts have me in a panic as I watch the commotion through the kitchen doorway.

That's not how Lisa texts. So either someone has Lisa's phone, or someone has Lisa and her phone.

Be careful. I can sense from Selene's voice that she's on her way, but this isn't the time to ask how she got past the guards.

Kellan.

I need to text Kellan.

But when I turn on my phone, there's no signal.

And the texts from Lisa are missing.

Selene, something's wrong.

Understatement of the century right there.

All of the shifters have left the kitchen, running forward to the fight. I can hear some words that have me rooted to the ground in panic, my mind spinning.

Vampires.

Bloodsuckers.

The words send a chill through my bones as the commotion escalates in the living room. There's no doubt in my mind; they're here for me.

I don't know why.
