Good thing that my orphanage had an educational program which helped me finish high school and this aided me to get a job easily at the inventory department of Lyla’s Café.

But destiny had other plans for me. After my last class, I found myself alone in a classroom, searching for a lost textbook. It was there that I bumped into my ex, Mason. Our breakup had been far from amicable, and the tension between us was palpable. He leered at me, moving closer, his intentions clear. My heart raced as he tried to force a kiss, his grip on my arm growing tighter. Panic surged through me, but then something inexplicable occurred.

His shadow was missing, leaving an eerie emptiness at his feet.

I saw flashes then—future upon future—each worse than the last. Adam standing on a battlefield, bloodied and broken, reaching for me as the light drained from his eyes. His brothers falling one by one. The palace collapsing. Kingdoms burning. Emptiness stretching on long after the last scream faded. “This is the price,” the woman intoned. “Innocent blood for vengeance.” “No,” I whispered, sinking to my knees. “I wanted justice.” Lightning struck the ground between us, splitting it open, fire roaring up from the fissure.

I don't notice how small the trees appear to be. I don't pay attention to my speed or that I'd already crossed into unclaimed territory.

But it settled into me like something that expected to be obeyed. My body reacted before my mind could catch up. I sat. "You're sleeping with the enemy, Imani." He looked ahead. "I don't know who the hell you think you are." "That's the problem." He turned his head towards me. "You don't know who anyone is... you're not safe, Imani. Neither is Yara." My heart was loud in my own ears. "Are you threatening me?" Something moved in his expression. Brief. Almost pitying.

I asked as I leaned forward. “A woman named Nemesis. She was the one who gave me a suggestion on creating vampires, turning you and your siblings into creatures of the night. I didn’t know that everything happening was a game for her, something to amuse her if I made a mistake and I did. I changed the balance of things when I interfered with your fate and I was punished for it.” I said as my mouth opened. “You ran because you were cursed.” Larissa nodded. “I will die one day Charlie.” Larissa confessed as my eyes widened.

Lady Nerida hurriedly spoke, “Before we left her, I used my blood to write a name on her forehead. Her name is Lena, my only daughter.
