"I'm Logan you just told me now who I am real" he said

"Oh, right" I replied " but how did you know that I want to erase your memory!"

He chuckled "I have watched too many movies That's why I was able to figure things out so quickly And don't worry your secret identity is safe with me I won't tell anyone"

I smiled"Thanks"

"But if you're not human, what are you?"

"I am a viper and a werewolf I could rip your heart out right now and devour it, or perhaps I'll feast on your neck and savor your blood... you do smell quite enticing."

He swallowed hard, his eyes wide with fear as he stared at me. I burst out laughing

"It's not funny? Imogen you fucking want to eat me alive"

"Shh, I'm not a viper or a werewolf, I'm just me. Let's go home, I'm exhausted," I said, resting my head on the car seat as he drove us back

As we arrived, I stepped out of the car and was met with a surprise. My Aunt Elodie was standing there, her face stern and disapproving. She marched up to me and slapped me hard across the face Logan step into our Middle

"Are you going to let your bodyguard hit me too?" she yelled.

"Logan step aside" I said.

"But Imogen—" he started.

"Step aside right now" I yelled, and he stepped aside.

I turned to my aunt "What is this all about?"

"Imogen, why can't you just disappear and never come back? First, you killed your parents, then my husband, and now you're after my daughter? I won't let you! You bitch, how dare you order your bodyguard to hit my daughter? What gives you the right?" Elodie screamed

"I didn't kill my parents or your husband! I'm not a killer!" I shouted back

She slapped me, and I fell to the ground. Logan hurried to help me up, but I waved him off and stood up on my own, my eyes fixed on Elodie

"If you're not a killer then you're a monster and you know it You came to our house, and that same day, my husband died So tell me who killed him? You did Imogen You're a monster Stay away from my family don't kill us like you did your own family" she yelled getting into her car and driving off

Aurora spoke up behind me "I'm really sorry she said that to you She's your aunt which is why I let her in"

I turned to Aurora and forced a small smile "It's fine Aurora I'm okay really Her words didn't hurt me"

"Are you sure she didn't hurt you? She slapped you really hard! How can you be sure you're okay?" Logan exclaimed holding me and examining me for injuries

"Logan I think you're taking this too personally I'm fine," I said removing his hand from my arm

"Should I walk you to your room" she asked

"No, it's fine You both should stop worrying about me I'm fine," I insisted and with that I walked inside and straight to my room I collapsed on the bed replaying Aunt Elodie's words in my mind "You're a monster." I wondered if it was true and soon exhaustion took over and I fell asleep

I woke up from my short nap and rushed to the bathroom feeling nauseous "What's wrong with me?" I muttered to myself After throwing up I walked out of the bathroom and found Calliope sitting on my bed "What do you want?"

"We have a lot of scores to settle, Imogen"

"I'm not in the mood to argue or talk to you," I said, trying to brush her off.

But Calliope was relentless She lunged at me her hands closing around my neck like a vice. "I'm here to kill you Imogen I've hated you since the moment your father brought you into our dark world" she screamed her voice shaking the entire room

"You're choking me!" I gasped struggling to pry her hands off my neck

"Good I want to choke the life out of you" Calliope snarled her grip tightening I was too weak to resist her power overwhelming me I couldn't even think of a way to defend myself "You're so weak Imogen" she taunted her eyes darkening to an eerie black "I thought you had the power to make things happen with just your words Looks like it's all gone Poor you" Her grip constricted further cutting off my air supply

I tried to scream but my body wouldn't respond  Everything seemed to shut down and I felt my strength fading away as if my spirit was leaving my body I managed a weak whisper "H...e...l...p...m...e..." And then, suddenly a massive explosion erupted BOOM!
