Seana
EVER since I decided to keep a tight leash on my progeny, she has been resisting at every possible turn. Isabel was more than I could expect, she thrived in her newfound immortality, yet she was at times careless in her doings.
Though I didn't mind as long as she was discreet. I didn't need my uncle or his hybrid spawn breathing down our necks. But with those two despicable men that she turned weeks ago have caused me to contemplate if I should have even turned her at all.
I eyed Isabel with scrutiny as I saw her come through the doorway to my house. It was a modest place but nothing too showy. It was quite a ways out of the town's limits with forest all around us. We didn't need to draw unnecessary attention.
But here I was inviting it with my wayward progeny who was covered from head to toe in someone's blood.
I have told her repeatedly to watch who she killed or who she randomly turned. I did not know about those two men. But those were apparently the only ones.
So she has told me.
"Where have you been?" I asked, my tone laced with venom.
"Oh you know," Isabel murmured and licked her blood-stained lips. "Just having a grand old time."
I narrowed my eyes into slits when the scent of someone's blood caught my attention.
I sped in front of her and gripped her by the hair, causing her to yelp. "What did I tell you about being reckless? I told you to stop your obsession with that boy!"
"I don't care what you told that bitch, I can do whatever I want with him!" Isabel cried out.
"When I make a deal with someone, I intend to keep my promises, Isabel," I whispered in her ear, dropping her onto the ground. "But by the looks of you, I see my word means nothing."
Isabel just gave a pout and got back up onto her feet. "You didn't break your promise to them. It was I that did it, so what?"
"Where is the Kaiser boy?" I hissed.
While I could care less about his life, I needed to make sure he wouldn't be found. What retaliation I could expect from Ms. Rezza; I would deal with that when the time came.
"Oh, he is resting in the trunk of the car," Isabel giggled.
"Resting?" I questioned. "You mean to tell me you didn't kill him? Isabel, you are covered head to toe inhis blood."
"Well I mean I did kill him, but I decided I wanted him to be with us forever!" Isabel cheered dementedly.
My face became completely blank as she sped out the door. After Isabel ran out, I noticed Maggie walk into the room in a daze.
