honest. I wasn’t expecting to him have hung around for six months to help out after I died.
    “A demon named Escara,” I looked down at the floor, knowing what kind of reaction those words would get me. But nothing was said. Not even a noise was made. “She helped us get out. She wants Lilith dead as much as we do, and was willing to pay the ultimate price for it. I will make sure she died for a reason.” A weighted silence fell over us again. I meant every word. I didn’t want Escara to have died in vain. I wasn’t going to let that happen. I was going to kill Lilith. This wasn’t just about me anymore. There was no doubt in my mind she was out for all of us.
    Beth moved to the chest that was hopefully still filled with weapons. “Guessing from the vampire horde that followed you guys here, I think we can safely say Lilith knows you’re back. It’s daylight so we should be safe enough to go and get provisions. We are running low. Do you want to come with?” She bent down and undid the latch, throwing the lid back. It struck the wall with a loud thud that made me jump. Yes, I was easily startled these days. She rummaged through the chest and then pulled something out. She held out my bow with a shoulder pouch full of arrows.  “I made sure to keep these and everything you had in here, just in case.” She winked and I tentatively took the bow and arrows from her hands. I was in awe that she had held onto it, or even thought I was coming back.
    “Thank you,” I whispered. I let my fingers travel over the string, admiring the bow. There was one question burning in my mind. “How is my father?” I hadn’t seen him since the meeting with Lilith, and I wanted to know whether he was okay. A part of me was hoping so, but another part felt abandoned. Beth looked to Chase, questioning whether she should tell me anything. The hesitation sent my heart racing.
    “She needs to know,” he said. He leaned against the desk behind him, crossing his arms over his chest. I let my eyes travel back to Beth’s saddened face and I knew what f news was coming. She wiped her hands on her jeans and came to a sitting position in front of me, her scar glaring at me as she moved. I would have to ask her what the hell had happened. Then she took my hands in hers and looked directly into my eyes, tears welling up as she looked at me. They were threatening to spill over, but her wide eyes kept them from falling. 
    “He was killed during the first wave. I’m sorry.” She paused, licking her lips. “After you were gone Lilith moved fast. She was turning people left and right and we couldn’t stay ahead of her. It’s like a ghost town out there until the sun goes down. That’s why we have the barrier.”
    All I could do stare at her. Killed during the first wave? Killed? Or turned and then killed?  “Did she turn him?” I felt Gordon’s hands tighten slightly on my shoulders as the tension flexed through his arms. I could even feel it ripple through my own body it was so intense.
    She shook her head and said, “He was too old for her to turn. She was only turning the young and able bodied. They have less of a turn and recovery time, I guess.” She said that last part with a shrug. Tears were welling in my eyes and grief flooded through me, taking no prisoners. I would’ve felt like I had nothing left if it weren’t for the fact that I had three people I cared about, there with me, to help me pick up the pieces of a world Lilith had shattered. I had Gordon, the love of my life, and the promise of new life inside of me. At least I hoped. I had already lost enough, and I wasn’t going to let Lilith take anything else. I had had enough. “The first wave was how I ended up with this. After that I took it upon myself to grow as a witch to keep us safe. Granted, I’ve learned a few new things, but I’m not Gandalf.” She pointed to her scar.
    “What are we going to do about Lilith?” I asked through gritted teeth. I
