“Selene, you’re not human. You’re a monster!”

“What are you all waiting for? Do it!” she barked over her shoulder.

Panic surged through me. Somehow, I broke free from the restraints and bolted out the door. That’s when the hospital called, my father had passed away.

The news hit me like a brick wall. I froze and that split second of stillness gave them the chance to catch me.

They tied me down, pinning me so tightly I couldn’t move.

I shut my eyes in despair.

Bang!

The sound of a gunshot rang out. My eyes flew open. I knew she had come.
