DAY TWO: The Alternate EndingTHE HAUNTED originally had an alternate ending. When I wrote it, I knew the last scene had to be big, had to have emotional impact because it would be the driving force for the final book in the series. In the original version, Abbey and Ben got into a car accident on the way back from Caspian's hometown. Caspian was grief stricken over the fact that he couldn't help Abbey, who was hurt. So why was it changed? Because ultimately, it ended up raising too many questions that didn't have anything to do with THE HIDDEN. I knew that as a result of the accident Abbey would be starting book three in the same place that she's starting now, so I decided to change it during the edits to something more personal. The image flashed into my head of Vincent lying on Abbey's bed, pretending to be Caspian while surrounded with her broken bottles of perfume, and red roses, and blood, and knew THAT was it. That was the emotional impact I wanted!
