Excerpt<\/h4>\n

Chapter 1<\/b><\/p>\n

Ms. Higgins slid a copy of Bram Stoker\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Dracula<\/i>\u00a0onto the shelf and heaved a sigh. Finally. She could go home. It was late and it had been one of\u00a0<\/span>those\u00a0<\/i>days. Sometimes she wondered what had possessed her to become a high school librarian.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smoothing a wayward strand of gray hair back where it belonged, she made her way carefully through the deep shadows cast by the stacks. Most people would have left all the overhead lights on instead of just the ones at the front, but Ms. Higgins was not most people. No sense in wasting energy. She didn\u2019t need that much light to work. She knew where every book went. After all, she\u2019d been at this for nearly forty years.<\/p>\n

Her sensible heels suddenly slid out from under her. Arms flailing, she shrieked as she collapsed in a heap on the ground, face pressed to the rough carpet. Her wrist gave a painful twinge. That was all she needed: an injury right before she planned to paint her dining room.<\/p>\n

Ms. Higgins started to get up, but something under her cheek was wet and slippery. Sitting up cautiously, she frowned as she swiped her hand at the wetness on her face. As she stared at dark stuff coating her hand, the coppery tang finally registered: blood.<\/p>\n

Scrambling to her feet, she slid again, this time careening sideways and landing on somebody\u2019s lap. A very dead somebody. Ms. Higgins opened her mouth and screamed and screamed and screamed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chapter 2<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, please, please let me be me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, eyes squeezed shut, as I\u2019d done every morning since that cold February day a couple months ago. I clenched my fists at my sides willing today to be different. Taking a deep breath I opened my eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cShit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbigail Evangeline Roberts. That is no way for a young lady to talk.\u201d The voice was muffled through the bathroom door, but my aunt\u2019s – or rather\u00a0her\u00a0<\/i>aunt\u2019s – snippy tone was crystal clear.<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry, Aunt Liz,\u201d I called through the door. \u201cBroke a nail.\u201d Yeah. That was a good answer. Humans swore over silly things like broken nails all the time.<\/p>\n

Aunt Liz said something about not being late, but I had already tuned her out. I had more important things to worry about than being late to some stupid school. Like the fact that the face staring back at me from the mirror wasn\u2019t mine. Like the fact I was wearing the skin of a dead girl.<\/p>\n

Like the fact I was dead. Sort of.<\/p>\n
