Parts in italics are lyrics from the song Mad Hatter by Melanie Martinez

Let me know what you think of the series so far!

My friends don't walk, they run
Skinny dip in rabbit holes for fun

She was perfect. She had a pretty face and a pretty smile. She had blonde hair like all good girls have. But she didn't have pretty eyes. She didn't have the blue eyes of the angels. She had the red eyes of the devil.

She walked down the streets of New-York with her brother, counting the minutes before the sun would rise up and trap her inside.

Popping, popping balloons with guns, getting high off helium

That night, like every other night, the screams had stopped quickly. She dropped the body on the ground without giving it another look, or another thought.

She looked up at the black sky as blood dripped off her lips onto her white skin.

We paint white roses red
Each shade from a different person's head
This dream, dream is a killer
Getting drunk with the blue caterpillar

Since her masters had been made aware of the existence of their mate, they had changed. They were in a better mood, not that it was unusual, but she had never seen them so worried, so happy, so disappointed.

Mates. Destiny plays a cruel joke.

Making them wait three thousand years just to give them one human to share.

Jane was happy she didn't have a mate. She had her brother, and he was always going to be her priority. Her brother, and herself.

She didn't need a mate. Someone to take care of. Someone to take care of her. Someone who would take her away from her brother and from her duty.

She was better alone. Safe.

Alone.

Unsafe.

I'm peeling the skin off my face
'Cause I really hate being safe
The normals, they make me afraid
The crazies, they make me feel sane

Of course, she couldn't have a human mate. Humans are too fragile, too moral. They're afraid.

Afraid of people like her. Even when she was human, they were afraid.

Vampires know better. They're smarter, stronger. They're killers. Just like her.

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad
The craziest friend that you've ever had
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I'm off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are
All the best people are crazy, all the best people are

If her mate wasn't like her, what would she do?

That was easy enough to figure out.

You can be Alice, I'll be the Mad Hatter
