Bianca
I didn't know how to react, my thoughts scattered like ashes in the wind. My voice stuck somewhere between a scream and a sob.
I clenched my fists, every muscle begging me to run, but I stayed, locked in place by the weight of her words.

This is just strange. "But I don't believe in all this you've just stated. I have a family," I scoffed at the word, even though deep down in my heart, I knew more than ever they never treated me as one.
But they were still my parents, even though I had decided I didn't want anything to do with them anymore. How do I even start to forget my past life growing up?
"That child laid by the bush path was picked up by a desperate family who needed a child after sending theirs away." She breathed, leaning in, her gaze blazing.
"You, Bianca, are that child, born half mortal and half immortal."
