Everything keeps changing for Jack. He started college this year, became a thinblood this year, killed a vampire this year, became a vampire this year. Itâs terrifying. Everything is so fucked.
He left home because his parents were controlling assholes. They nearly kicked him out of the house when he got his ears pierced. Itâd be kinda unfair to blame them for his enthusiastic âdescentâ into a âlife of sin,â but screw it, they didnât help. Jack was lucky to get out of the house and into a good college. Dad wanted him to be a lawyer or some sort of white collar boss and mom wanted him to be a doctor. Jack hadnât had enough time to worry about it. Instead he signed up for the summer semester with their blessing and started living. He got more piercings, tattoos, smoked, drank, and barely scrapped by with a C for his first two classes.
He stayed in the dorms through the summer break and did his best to get back on track. Jack wasnât stupid, he needed to get through college, then get a job, then heâd be free from his parents.
A friend hooked him up with a really sweet connection to a party out in St. Paul. He wasnât exactly sure where it was, he wasnât the one driving, but it doesnât matter. His life up to then doesnât matter now.
Jack doesnât want to go home, but he still dreams of it. He daydreams about going back to college while lurking around nearly empty buildings throughout the day. Saveria is, well Mom would call her a peach. Sheâs kind to him. Patient. She even told him that to everyone else itâd look like heâd withdrawn from the school, gotten a full refund of his tuition and left with a buddy who likewise hadnât been seen since. Jack wanted know what had happened to his buddy, but looking at Saveria, he knew he shouldnât ask.
Saveria was still okay in Jackâs books. The weird blood thing that made him really like her was gone, but she hadnât done anything really mean to him. Dani told Jack that it wouldnât have stayed that way for long. Jack hoped that it would have. He did know that he didnât want to keep playing guard duty for the rest of his life. Nadine was smart, scary, and a boss, but like in a good way. So when she told him what they were going to do, he was scared, but willing. He hadnât even killed anybody yet.
Jack feels strong. Jack is scared. But he has his friends, and together theyâll be okay.
