*Beth's POV*
*Flashback*
“Why are you here?”
He made a scoffing noise. “You ask a lot of questions.”
“You’re not giving me a lot of answers.”
I took a breath, steadying myself.
This was way too much. I had never met my father, ever in my whole life. Mum had said he took off when I was born, but he left his pendant behind. I realised now he hadn’t really left it for me. My mum just said that because that’s what she had believed, even though he left without even seeing his daughter being born.
But, that was my mum. She saw the good in everybody she met, including total dickheads.
One thing I was certain about this guy was that he wasn’t normal. He had this completely different aura about him. It was eerie and inhuman.
The thing was that I wasn’t afraid. Not anymore.
I wanted to know more. I needed to know more about this man, Cairo, whether he was a vampire or something else.
He was looking at me intently, reading my face like an open book.
“Do you know who I am?”
I nodded, keeping my eyes down.
“Yeah,” I croaked “I think I do.”
He nodded.
He gently let go of my mother’s body, laying her in the grass.
Slowly, he lifted his hand over her, closing his eyes.
A few moments later, a snowflake fell from the dark sky and onto her body. At least that’s what it looked like. Dozens more of the tiny white flecks landed onto her, only now I could see that they weren’t snowflakes, they were little sparkles. Literally, that’s what they were. Miniature, sparkling specks of bright light, each one covering a small patch of my mother’s body.
I instinctively leaned away from what was happening.
Soon enough, every inch of my mother was buried in the tiny ember like lights. They glowed luminously all over her for a short moment, and then they slowly dispersed off of her back into the coal sky.
However, when they had all floated away, my mother was gone.
My head snapped up to Cairo.
He had lowered his hand now. He was just standing there, staring at the shadow in the grass from where my mother’s body had been.
My voice was a raspy growl.
“What did you do? What have you done with her?”
He didn’t answer. His eyes remained fixed on the ground.
Before I could stop myself, I was running straight into him with all the force I had. I surprised him, but didn’t come close to knocking him over. When I went for another hit, he caught me by my wrist. He kept his hand in a locked grip, but he didn’t put any pressure on it so that it didn’t cause any unnecessary pain.
“What did you do?” I hissed.
He put the full blow of his chrome eyes on me.
“I sent her to where she belongs.”
