Excerpt
Danny held the stake in place with his left hand and swung the hammer down with all his strength with his right . He felt the crunch of bone and the pressure of the muscles before the stake lodged itself into Camille ' s heart .
Dark , cold and rancid blood spewed out of the wound , hitting him in the face . He didn ' t tear his eyes away , however , from the hideous sight that was formerly his best friend . Her eyes- -formerly bright green--snapped open ; the whites were reddish and the irises were gone , it was all black pupil . Her formerly wide and friendly mouth opened . He watched , as if in slow motion , the jaw widen and distend beyond any lengths humanly possible , as Vincent ' s had two years prior , as he had attacked that girl . The fangs were fully extended and as sharp as the very stake he ' d used on her . But was the absolute worst , above the aforementioned atrocities , was the shriek that emitted from her throat . It started out softly , like a kitten whining , but it steadily and rapidly got louder until it resembled a cross between nails on a blackboard , a bat ' s call and a demonic crow ' s caw . He wanted to cover his ears , close his eyes , and rock like a baby until the men in the white coats came to take him away .
