the demon. Looking up at the demon, she waved him off and bent down to pick up the knife he’d dropped when Izzy had forced herself away from him.
    ~*~*~*~*~
    “You really are a pain in my ass, Isobel,” Lilith’s seductive voice said. “You may leave,” she said addressing the demon who left instantly at the new order.
    Izzy could see why her mother was who she was. Her looks and her voice were enough to trap any man into wanting just a modicum of a chance with her.
    “Well, it appears you’re a pain in mine as well, Mother. Drop me off in the mortal realm as a child and then start using different methods to try and push me into being like you. I will never be like you, Mother. I am not you!”
    “Things happened that you are not allowed to know about, Isobel. Your father and I had assumed you would be safer here, but it appears we were wrong. You’ve gone soft, and while I know your father is good, I never imagined you would be this good. I always assumed you would take after me. Since you didn’t, you must die so this legacy does not live on, attached to my name.”
    Izzy hadn’t come in contact with many gods, but the “we can’t talk about it” theme seemed ongoing for immortals and humans alike. She didn’t care what caused her parents to drop her in this dimension and she wasn’t going to sit and wait for the details.
    “Now that you’re here, are you really going to follow through and kill me?” Izzy asked crossing her arms. Blood had dripped down her chest from the wound the demon had given her.
    “That’s the plan. As I’m sure my assassin told you, I can easily replace you with another child from another god. Only, this time, I’ll make sure to take a god from the darker persuasion into my bed. Maybe that’s where I went wrong with you. Your father was too light for me, yet I took him anyways.”
    Thanks to Izzy’s research, she knew her father was the god of tranquility in their realm. Much like Lilith, Izzy was unsure as to why the two of them had been drawn to each other. Lilith was nothing but darkness and Sage was light and peace. The saying, “opposites attract,” surely didn’t mean a thing when it came to Lilith and Sage.
    “Wouldn’t it be easier if you just let me live my life as I wish and you go make your perfect child? It’s not like I’m going to admit I’m your daughter.”
    Lilith laughed one of the most evil laughs Izzy had ever heard. The way it sounded chilled her to the bone. Without warning, Lilith lunged at Izzy, toppling them both over so they went rolling through the sand. Amazingly enough, Izzy wasn’t touched by the knife.
    Now lying under Lilith, Izzy struggled to get up. Lilith leaned down and whispered in her ear.
    “I could, but what’s the fun in that? I’ll know you’re alive and that’s the last thing I want.”
    Screaming, Izzy brought her knees up and somehow managed to get her mother in the stomach. Cursing, Lilith rolled off Izzy and tried to push herself up before Izzy got up.
    Seeing the knife lying in the sand, Izzy lunged for it at the same time Lilith did. In an explosion of sand Lilith and Izzy collided, sending the knife deep into the depths of the sand.
    “Fucking bitch!” Lilith cursed as she threw a punch at Izzy’s face.
    Cursing too, Izzy pushed herself up to her knees and lunged after Lilith. Landing on top of her, Izzy began to punch Lilith in the face. She landed several good blows before Lilith overpowered Izzy and threw her into the sand.
    Reaching for a handful of sand, Izzy’s fingers found the hard handle of the knife. She brought it up and drove it into Lilith’s chest just as her mother was about to sink her fangs into Izzy’s neck.
    Gasping, Lilith fell into the sand clutching her chest. Blood poured out of the wound and soaked her black dress and hands. Moving over her once more, Izzy looked down at her mother with cold eyes.
    “You wouldn’t dare,” her mother gasped.
    Without another word, Izzy slit her
