title: Grave Encounters
author: Rebel, Dakota
description: The last thing Anya Williams expected to find when chasing a ghoul through a graveyard was someone to help her chop up the body and set it on fire. But that's what she got when Erik Pederson stood up from an open grave as she ran by.Watching the flames reflected in his bright blue eyes, Anya feels a stir she hasn't experienced a while. A loner by necessity, she is used to the single life and hasn't so much as looked for a date in years. Even though she feels that there is something off about him, she can't help wanting to see him again.Having wandered the earth for centuries, Erik has grown used to the pain of existing alone. He accepted his fate, and stopped hoping for more long ago. Staring over at Anya, Erik can't help the flicker of hope that she might be the one to bring him peace, either through love or through death.
