Title

The thing that usually ends up being the most important after you're through reading a book is its name... And up until about 5 min. ago, I had no idea what I would name my novel. BUT now isn't 5 min. ago...now is now.

And I've settled on the title.... What is the Earth's.

Of course, you don't get it now, being it's a subtle sub-plot type thing that runs throughout the novel. It has something to do with my version of the vampire (which I'll post soon enough). You see, the Earth is a living thing, although it may not be alive the same way we are. And everything comes from it--the plants, the animals, ourselves. When we die, out body returns to the Earth. We belong to it. Because of this, vampires, whom are undead, do not go back into the Earth, which makes it angry. To satisfy the Earth's hunger they sleep with a handful or so of soil from their native land.

When Vivian was brought back from the coma and certain death by unnatural means, she cheated Earth. And Earth would take her back as soon as she could. Which is why she needs to die in the end.
