Three Line Thursdays--Week 9!

I can't believe it, but my second novel comes out in less than one month (yay!). And keeping with tradition, I've brought back Three Line Thursdays to help celebrate!

What exactly is Three Line Thursdays? It's simple, really. Every Thursday between now and the release of BLOOD AWAKENING, I'm going to tease you guys with three random lines from the book! I'll treat this just like Teaser Tuesdays, by turning to random pages and selecting three lines (take that, two-line Tuesdays!). Fun, right?!

I had fought a coven of vampires, trained with one of the oldest and most powerful monsters in the world, and even survived high school, and yet turning my back on Chance was near impossible to do.
