"I've decided that I want to become a vampire."
My jaw dropped. None of us saw it coming. After Sofia and I got back from the lighthouse, we gathered the girls around the living room, with Sam and Kyle joining the bunch. I told them what was about to happen and explained the choices they had. I expected all of them to follow after Sofia's decision and live in The Catacombs, so I was completely shocked when the person I least expected announced that she would rather get turned.
I squinted an eye at Ashley. "You? A vampire?"
"Yes. Got a problem with that?"
"You do realize that if I turn you, you become Ashley Novak…"
"I said that I'd rather become a vampire. I never said anything about you turning me."
I sighed with relief. "Thank the heavens then. I wouldn't know what I'd do having to take care of a drama queen like you."
