: True Blood
Nina
Monday morning marked the beginning of finals week, which meant that the end of the semester was
only a few days away.
It didn’t really feel as though the semester was ending, though. I would be staying on campus for
Christmas break, and between the Luna and the Crescents, time felt different anyway. I was a bit sad
that I wouldn’t have classes to distract me anymore, though.
On Monday morning, I woke up early for my first exam. I headed out quickly and went to the dining hall
for breakfast and more cramming before the exam, but by that point I had done all of the studying that I
possibly could. It was an anatomy exam, which brought me back to the days of Luke helping me study
before he had his human disguise. Everything felt so chaotic during that time, but now looking back I
realized just how simple everything really was. The Crescents were practically unheard of, I didn’t even
know about the Alpha King or the Luna or Selena, and the main issue on my mind was whether or not I
wanted to just be friends with Enzo or not. Now, it all felt so small and silly. In some ways I wished that I
could go back to that time, but in other ways I was grateful for everything that had happened since
then. I felt as though we all grew so much because of everything that had happened.
After I ate breakfast and studied for a little while longer, I realized that I only had a little bit of time
before the exam began. I decided to head to the classroom early so that I could find a good seat, and
so I packed up my notebooks and headed out of the dining hall and into the cold winter morning air.
The snow from the weekend was still piled high around the campus, and people’s spirits were just as
high. The town of Mountainview felt safe and lively again thanks to everyone’s efforts, and I could tell
that everyone was finally happy. Hopefully, I thought to myself as I began to walk across the snowy
quad to the lecture hall, things would only get better from here. I knew that I just needed to take the
Luna down, but I needed more information. And the dream that I had on Friday night about the Luna
made me even more nervous; even though Enzo told me that it was just a nightmare and that I didn’t
have anything to worry about, I felt strange. I felt as though my mind had been invaded on that night. It
felt as though the Luna really was watching my every move; how long would it be before she
discovered what we were up to and stopped us from fighting back?
As I walked to the lecture hall, my mind swirled with a million different possibilities. I tried to push them
down, though, so I could just focus on my exam instead.
But when I suddenly bumped into none other than Selena, I couldn’t push those thoughts down any
longer.
“Oh— Hey, Selena,” I said, forcing a weak smile.
Selena stared at me for a moment before brushing past me and trying to walk away. But I was still too
hooked on what she had said the last time I saw her, about how the Luna was somehow connected to
all of these genetically engineered rogues. I needed to know what she meant, and time was running
out.
“Selena!” I called, jogging after her. “Wait! Can I talk to you?”
Selena didn’t stop walking and even picked up her pace a little, but I was persistent. I sped up as well
and then sidestepped in front of her so she couldn’t go any further.
“Please,” I begged. “We really need to talk.”
“Why would I want to talk to you?” she grumbled as she folded her arms across her chest. “I heard that
you Claimed even more people and yet you excluded me once again. Didn’t I prove to you the other
day that I’m trustworthy?”
I sighed and shrugged. “I need more information,” I replied.
Selena rolled her eyes. “Well, find someone else to get your information for you.” She tried to step
around me again, but I blocked her way once more.
“Selena, please. The other day, you said that the Luna was connected to all of those rogues. What did
you—”
“Oh, fuck off!” Selena growled. This time, she sidestepped around me too quickly for me to stop her
and began to storm off. I whirled around to watch her and, after biting my lip for a moment, I finally
called after her.
“If you tell me more, I promise I’ll Claim you at the end of the week!”
Selena froze with her back turned to me. I could see her grip tighten around the strap of her bag, and
she shifted uncomfortably in her spot for a moment before slowly turning back to face me. I walked up
to her, pleading with her with my eyes to just tell me everything.
“You’re not lying?” she whispered.
I shook my head. “If you tell me everything, I’ll know that you’re trustworthy.” Of course, I knew that she
could very well have simply lied to me, but somehow I knew that I would be able to tell if she was lying.
Maybe it was the twin bond; I wasn’t sure.
For several long moments, Selena stared at me and chewed the inside of her cheek. Then, finally, she
spoke.
“Alright,” she said, lowering her voice. “When the Luna created her special genetically engineered
rogues, she used her own blood to do it.”
My eyebrows raised in disbelief. “How?” I asked. “That doesn’t make any sense.”
Selena shrugged. “I don’t know how she did it exactly. I just remember her drawing quite a bit of blood
for the process. She wouldn’t let me see the lab where she did her experiments, but I overheard her
one day… She was talking to somebody… A man. And he was telling her that she needs to keep
herself protected, because if she dies, then all of her rogues will die since they’ve all been created from
her blood.”
As Selena spoke, my eyes began to widen. I could tell that she was being truthful; even my wolf could
sense it. It still didn’t entirely make sense, but it was extremely vital information.
“Wow…” I murmured, still taking all of this in. “Selena, thank you.”
Selena just looked at me for a few moments before she nodded and shifted her bag on her shoulder.
“So, you’re gonna Claim me now, right?” she asked.
“You promise you won’t use your abilities to hurt anyone anymore?” I whispered.
Selena shrugged. “There’s no point. You and Enzo have already mated… That ship has sailed.”
I nodded slowly. Admittedly, the sad look on Selena’s face made me feel a little bit bad. There was that
flash of innocence across her face again, and it reminded me that she really was just a sad girl who
wanted to be loved, and who was manipulated by the Luna. I trusted that she wouldn’t hurt anyone
again…
But first, I needed to take down the Luna.
