Purgatory [Second book in the Lies Beneath Heaven series]

Chapter 3

~Zara's POV~

I opened my eyes and got out of bed. I walked toward my mirror and brushed my black and white hair. I walked down stairs to look for my mom but I couldn't find her. I walked out side to look for my mom. As I walked around I heard people whispering about me.

You see I'm not really 'normal', at least that's what everyone says except for my mom. You may be asking why and it's because my hair is primarily black but the top is white, my left eye is red and my right eye is blue. This is wired because my mom says I'm a Demonic but Demonics only have dark colors like black and red, but I have white hair and a blue eye which are light colors, primarily on Angelics. I've asked my mom thousands of times but she just says I'm not ready to know.

I sighed and continued to look for my mom. I walked over to the peninsula and saw my mom standing there smoking. I lifted my hand up and moved it horizontally to the right. Water followed my hand and put out my moms cigarette.

"Why must you always do that Zara?" My mom asked sighing.

"You know that's bad for you" I said walking up beside her.

"Did you need something?"

"Not in particular. But I was wondering why I'm different?"

"Like I always tell you, you're not ready to know"

"But mom I'm already 16! I think I'm old enough to know"

"Why are you so persistent?"

"Because, I'm not like everyone else and I want to know why"

"Being different isn't bad, everyone on Limbo is different"

"I know but why? Why am I different? I can use magic and no one else can? I have white and black hair and no one else dose? I have two different colors eyes, why?"

"You can't know yet"

"At least tell me something"

*sigh* "Fine, I'll tell you this one thing. I'm not your real mother. I found you abandoned with this necklace" my mother said handing me a gold necklace with a circle in the middle of a triangle and a line going through the middle of the triangle and circle. I took the necklace and stared at it.

"T-then how did you know my name? Did you make it up or was there a note with me?" I asked.

"The moon told me"

"What?"

"On the day called Pacem when the moon turns red a voice echoed in my head-

'Zara the sister of life' "

"Sister of life?"

"I don't know what it means, I've tried to figure it out but I can't get any leads"

"When will you tell me everything?"

"I don't know"

"Fine" I said leaving.

'Why can't she just tell me everything? I'm old enough, it's so frustrating!' I thought walking back home.

~Jessica's POV~

I sighed as Zara left. Its not that I don't want her to know the truth, but I myself don't know ether. I don't know who her real parents are, or why she has Demonic and Angelic features. I don't know what to do.

~Unknown POV~

"We have found her sir"

"Good, send Zina, and Soulfire to bring her back here"

"Yes sir"

'Her power will bring me power, then I will finally be able to destroy all Angelics'
