My hotel room refrigerator was fully stocked with tiny bottles of liquor. An hour after returning to my room, I was three bottles down, my ice bucket full, and the plastic complimentary cup full once again. It wasn’t my mission to get drunk, I hadn’t done so in ages, but maybe a little buzzed. I had to be ready in the morning for Edward. Right now, I needed the distraction.

Was tomorrow my last day of freedom? Had I made a mistake coming here? He could tell everyone what I am, and I would have to face the realization not only on Henry’s face but on the faces of everyone at the station. I didn’t want to admit it to myself, but they were family to me. I hadn’t been close to anyone like I had been to Andy growing up, not even our half-sister Temperance. She was older than both of us, and by the time we were in middle school, she had graduated high school. Andy was all I had when I was growing up, and when he was gone. . .

Sipping my drink, I leaned against the bed from my position on the floor, my legs bent and bare feet flat on the carpet. I met Dylan Michaels in my Freshman year at Cornell University. A Sophomore in my Economics class, he charmed me from the get-go with his All-American good looks. Two years later, we were engaged with plans for a wedding shortly after graduation. I never knew what he was deep inside that facade. I should have seen the signs, but blinded by love, I hadn’t realized what kind of person he truly was until it was too late. Halfway through my Senior year, he murdered my brother. Immediately upon his arrest, he confessed to the crime. As detectives dug deeper into the murder, they discovered he had killed several other victims over the past two years, two of them students from campus.

It hadn’t taken long for me to decide to kill him. Revenge was the only thing keeping me breathing, and I hadn’t given him the chance to enjoy bail before I made my move. The experience was messy, hard, but ultimately, it was fulfilling. I spent weeks after Andy’s funeral, and the news of Dylan’s disappearance, worried I was going to get caught. It turned out no one really wanted to find him. No one cared a serial killer had gone missing; they only cared his murder spree finally stopped.

Returning to college, I graduated at the top of my class. I took a job at the Manhattan Medical Office where I learned everything there was to know about the human body. I learned how to cover up bruises and how to hide imperfections. It helped mold me into something new, more alive, and with purpose. I was suddenly in too deep, unable to shake the urge I needed to serve justice to be people like Dylan. I had in a way become like him, but better than he could have ever dreamed.
