slightly. I hated that sound. I wanted to stop it.
    But something other than that unbearable noise had caught my attention. In opening her mouth, lips pulling back in a manner too wide to be human, she’d revealed multiple rows of razor sharp teeth. A hissing shark , I thought. Then: What does that make me?
    She lunged for me before I could process anything else. I tried to duck out of her way, but she was fast , and I ended up getting slammed against the wall, nearly causing me to drop what was in my hand. The wind was knocked out of me, but it was a feeling I was quite accustomed to, and I brought my knee up hard and slammed it into her stomach.
    She didn’t even flinch.
    In a blink my hands were pinned to the wall. Oh, shit. Not good .
    The thought might have made me laugh had fear not seized my vocals. I bucked in wild desperation, but she was as moveable as a brick building.
    At that point raw panic threatened to overcome me.
    Her chalk-white exquisite face hovered before mine, burning cold breath searing my skin. As I stared into those endless black eyes, I became too scared to move.
    Until she opened her mouth to speak, once again revealing those very sharp looking teeth.
    “You’ve got ssssweet blood,” she hissed. “I can ssssmell it-” I head butted her.
    I hadn’t known what else to do, but it occurred to me that if I didn’t do something, and fast, she was going to kill me. Kill or be killed. The thought came to me calmly.
    My survival instincts kicked in and I slammed my foot into her stomach with all my strength, forcing her back several feet.
    She let out an ear-piercing shriek, and I involuntarily brought my hands up to cover my ears. As I did this I felt something cold and smooth brush my right ear. I looked at my hand to see that I was still holding my Mother’s gift. It had produced a long blade earlier and I guess my mind had just skipped over its importance in my haste to get the shark off of me.
    This glance left me vulnerable though, and she lunged for me again, but this time she wasn’t fast enough. I side-stepped her attack and spun around fast, putting as much force into my swing as I could manage. I aimed for the neck. At the time, I hadn’t thought about it, but I realized later that that was what I’d been taught to do.
    The blade got stuck about midway through her neck, and she was shrieking so loudly I was sure I was going to lose my hearing. Black liquid stampeded out of her wound, landing on my face and hands. I yanked the sword back out and swung it again, completely decapitating her. She fell silent.
    I simply fell to my hands and knees. I had never been in shock before, but I was pretty sure this was it. Everything seemed to slow down, and I couldn’t even really process what had just happened. It was all just a blur. A strong surge of what felt like pure energy ripped through me, so potent I almost vomited. I realized then that I was trembling.
    Then my body went completely rigid.
    Because that’s when I heard Nelly scream.

Chapter 10
    I jumped up so fast that I dropped my weapon. My stomach dropped too.
    Scooping up the sword, I raced out of my bedroom and down the hall. Cold sweat broke over me. My heart thundered in my chest, and every instinct in my body told me to run in the opposite direction. I wanted to go sit in a closet and curl up into a ball, but No, I had to find Nelly.
    When I reached the living room, a silent scream ripped up my throat. Pieces of broken furniture were everywhere, and it looked like a small tornado had hit the inside of the room. My Mother had a silver sword too, and she was currently fending off two more monsters.
    Nelly was huddled in a corner with another one closing in on her.
    It was all so surreal, so much to take in. It was like I had walked onto the set of some horror movie and forgotten my next line. Only, this was no movie. I was rooted to where I stood. I couldn’t move, couldn’t react. Until my Mother snapped me back to grim
