Jasmine Martinez
A hot, searing pain rips through her arm. Tears blur her vision.
"Jaz." Cody's voice has an inhuman ring to it. "You shouldn't have left the house."
"Cody." Jasmine grips the gun tighter. "Cody. Please."
He sniffs her hair. "You reek of his scent." Cody bares his teeth. "It's all over you."
"What happened to you?" She struggles to control the quiver in her voice.
"I've been reborn." A sideways grin stretches across his half-transformed face. He grabs her wrist and slams her hand into the ground. "You should've used that when you had the chance, little sister." Cody pries the weapon from her fingers.
He snarls in her face, then snakes a course hand - with clawed fingernails - down her cheek. The sharp tip of his index finger digs into her face.
Jasmine opens her mouth and screams.
