I have fun where I can, but I never let anyone know the real me. It’s not safe.But it’s a lonely life to live. And I’m tired of running.When a pair of drifters—monster bounty hunters—find me, I decide to let them catch me.It’s the only way I’ll get close enough to kill the monster who destroyed my life.The drifters are nothing more than a means to an end, but I can’t deny that their blood is addictive. The more time we spend on the road, the more I realize they aren’t what they seem, and I hate myself for growing attached to my captors.But if they discover my secret, they’ll kill me.And dying isn’t part of the plan.
