Reborn Hope: Chapter Two: Lukas Scott

"I'm sorry, Luke. I'm sorry for many things, but everything that I am sorry for begins with my selfishness and for that, I cannot forgive myself. I guess, what it really comes down to is this...I refuse to kill him. I won't even fight him. No matter how angry I am at him for abandoning us, I still care about him. I have to let go of my hatred, it didn't work. I have to drop self pitying. Clearly that didn't work. I must rebuild and even though it hurts to remember, I refuse to quit now. I will continue. I will find him. For your sake, mine, and the rest of the human world's. Too much rests on this one man's shoulders." With the winter quickly settling in, Jaymie Winters finds herself stuck, not knowing whether or not she can trust her feelings that are getting the best of her. With James now hitting the bottle, Elizabeth going into labor, losing nearly all of her friends, one she may have sentenced to death unknowingly, Jaymie has a lot on her plate. On top of that, she has to track down the one who has disappeared while trying not to get eaten by vampires and the like. Can Jaymie survive the long journey out of the country to bring back everyone's last hope or will she fall victim to the many elements standing in her way? It's not easy surviving in a blizzard under dressed and now, she has to worry about the excruciating pain that will come from within? Even if she finds him, Jaymie knows she can still die, still having yet to transform. Is all of this worth risking being destroyed from the inside out, suffering in agonizing pain alone? “What is up with these nightmares!”
