“What are you?” she asked me.
I took a step back as I looked at her. She wasn’t scared of me. She was angry. She didn’t struggle with the
seatbelt that had locked up and kept her pinned. She didn’t throw her hands in the air to stop me. I looked into her
eyes and all I saw was hatred brimming out of the surface.
I saw myself, except for one major difference. She was a human.
Sometimes I caught myself thinking they couldn’t all be as terrible as we made them out to be. This was not
one of those times. A life with the Shadows had taught me that they are all the same. If given the chance, they
would kill us because, in the end, their own inferiority terrifies them.
I walked up to her and ripped the seatbelt off of her. I grabbed her throat and hoisted her out of the vehicle
and held her up to my face. Her feet dangled in the air.
“Haven’t you heard the whispered stories? The monsters that come to steal your souls? Of course, you
have. You humans just refuse to believe we even exist,” I threatened her. “You think this kind of power should be
exterminated or controlled, not appreciated. If you knew what I was capable of now, would you think I deserved to
live?”
I actually wanted to hear her answer. I wanted to hear the lie seep through her teeth, saying that she would
save me. That she would care about me.
“No,” she spoke through her strained throat.
I released my grip on her and she collapsed to the ground.
“No? You admit it then?” I stared down at her.
I was shocked at her honesty, considering I held her life in my hands. Most people groveled at this point.
She made one final effort to look me in the eye.
“Not because of your power, but because of what you do with your power.” She was coughing between
words and rubbing her throat as she spoke. “You are heartless. You kill people. Why do you deserve to live?”
I looked in her eyes, and the anger melted away. She looked up at me like I was the one that needed help
in this situation. If I didn’t know better, I would say she looked like she cared about me. My eyes narrowed at her.
“You’re good.” I commended her on her deceit. “I almost believe you.”
I leaned down to the ground and brushed my finger across her face. She slumped to the ground after a few
seconds. I stood and shook off what just happened. I looked at the last girl in the back seat. She was still just lying
there unconscious. I looked up at Alec, who had made his way down the hill.
“Did you want anything? She doesn’t have much left,” I called to him.
He shook his head. I looked at her and checked the pulse on her neck. It was faint. I laid my hand on her
neck and felt the last bit of energy she had pulse into my hand. I don’t know what it was that made a human’s final
energy sweeter than the rest.
I could feel all the power swirling inside me like a hurricane. I could lift a skyscraper I was so strong. I
closed my eyes and enjoyed the high for a moment. Something inside me had awakened. It was like I had not been
this alive in decades.
