Young, beautiful, and successful, Elena Michaels seems to have it all. I stride out onto the streets, looking for a quiet place to Change. It’s too late to drive to a safe place now-the itching has crystallized into a sharp burn. My legs now itch as well as hurt and I curl my toes to see if the itching stops. I pick up my keys, clasping my fist around them so they don’t jangle, ease open the door and creep into the hallway. There’s a pile of clothing tucked underneath my dresser so I won’t have to risk the squeaks and groans of opening drawers and closets. Philip doesn’t stir when I slip from the bed. I’ve got to get out of here – I don’t have a lot of time left.
