That’s a big lie. They are everywhere. I call my mom to warn her. Because let’s face it, my biological father is hungry and need-filled and when that happens he tends to want my very human, very vulnerable mother, the woman he’s decided should be his queen. It’s like a miracle that I get through, because she’s on the outer banks and the reception is horrible. Like here, there are not nearly enough cell phone towers. I hate that. I tell her what happened but I leave out the parts about Nick and my plan. I already have to deal with Devyn and Issie not liking it. Instead I try to pump her for information about the bus accident and why that would happen. She clears her throat. She always does that. “When the pixie king needs to feed he picks a young male and bleeds him. You saw that with Jay Dahlberg.” “Okay. Then explain to me what’s going on with this accident.”
