mother’s throat and watched the blood pour over the sand, turning it crimson. As Lilith drew her last breath, Izzy fell in the sand and stared at her mother’s lifeless body. Dropping the knife, she finally let her emotions come.
    Sobs filled the beach as Izzy sat there. She wasn’t sure why she was crying over the body of someone who was never a true mother.

Chapter Five
    After a while, Will found Izzy. Upon seeing Lilith dead on the beach, he took Izzy into his arms and carried her back to the house. Will seemed unfazed by the dead body he’d seen Izzy sitting by and while the thought of why he was unfazed momentarily went through her head, Izzy didn’t have the desire to explore why. Maybe it was because he was too worried about her and what had happened to her to care about the body at the present moment. Perhaps he was freaking out on the inside and hiding his fear so he didn’t project it onto her and make what had happened to her worse. As she crawled into his bed after taking a shower, she could barely think of anything other than the blood she’d just spilled.
    Despite Lilith’s horrible demeanor, a life had been taken by Izzy’s own hand. Not just any life, but the life of the woman who had given her life and brought her into this world.
    Izzy wasn’t sure how long she laid in bed with Will waiting on her. He’d brought her food she barely touched, forced her to drink water and juice so she was hydrated and even forced her into the shower a time or two. Time had lost all meaning to her as she stared at the ceiling, the same scene playing over and over again in her head.
    “Izzy, you need to get out of bed, honey,” Will said as he sat next to her.
    “I can’t get out of this bed.”
    “Would you tell me who that woman was?”
    “Lilith. My mother,” Izzy said shortly, as she rolled her head and looked over at Will.
    The look of utter shock told Izzy basically everything. He’d never known about her parents because she never talked about them. She only ever talked about the many foster homes she’d been bounced around from the time she was three to the time she turned eighteen. Then again, what was there to tell? She barely knew anything about her parents herself. This had been the first time she’d ever met her mother face to face. The only real reason she’d known that Lilith was her mother was because of some power sense that told her who Lilith was, or had been.
    “Why’d you do it, Izzy?” Will asked quietly.
    “Because she was trying to have me killed. You would have found my body out there instead of me crying and her dead if it had gone her way.”
    “Why would she try to kill you?”
    “Because I’m not the daughter she wanted. Not like it really matters. She’s dead now. But, how the hell was I suppose to be the daughter she wanted when she didn’t even bother to raise me. She dropped me off in this realm and basically said, ‘fend for yourself.’ What kind of mother does that to her own child?”
    “I don’t know,” he said, reaching up to scratch his head. “And why didn’t you tell me you weren’t human? We’re best friends! You’re supposed to tell me everything.”
    “What are you so confused about Will? You knew that I’d grown up in foster care with no friends and that weird stuff was always happening to me! How many times did I move because I was no longer wanted or because something so horrible had happened that they couldn’t cope with me? Even back when I lost my temper and ended up killing people. I know you didn’t know that was me, but fuck Will! I told you about that before it even hit the news. Something in there had to give you some inkling something was different than others. Not to mention the fact that I never talked about my past, that didn’t seem a little odd to you? Just drop the subject, Will, I’m not in the mood to talk about it.”
    Izzy was done feeling sorry for herself. At least she was still alive. Getting up, Izzy placed a
