Chapter 11

And there it was. After all this time of it being a secret, something I could try my best to ignore, she’d finally blurted it out. Right in the middle of a sleepover party.

I felt sick inside at hearing it out loud. It meant I couldn’t try to deny it any longer. This was real.

“A...a demon slayer,” I repeated. The words were thick and unpleasant on my tongue.

She looked at me bleakly. “You think I’m crazy, don’t you?” My heart thudded hard in my chest. “I—I don’t know what to think right now.”

“I know how it sounds. I know how I’d feel if someone told me the same thing. If I didn’t know it was the truth right away. It’s so hard to believe. They keep it a big secret. There aren’t very many people at all who know about this. It’s a secret society.”

“Then why are you telling me?”

“Because I know I can trust you, Nikki. More than anyone I’ve ever met before. Sure, Larissa and I have known each other longer, but with you—I know you’re my true friend. I know you’ll stick by me in good times and bad. And it’s been bad lately. I’ve wanted to tell you for ages, but I couldn’t.” She blinked. “And I have proof. I can show you downstairs. That’s where I trained.” The last thing I needed was to get a personal tour of the basement of death. “I don’t need proof. I—I believe you.”

Her eyes widened. “You do?”

I nodded. “I know you wouldn’t make something like this up. And I know you’re not crazy.

So take out those two components and I’m left with the fact that this must be the truth. And...and I’m so sorry. For everything you’ve had to go through.” I’d never seen a look of relief quite as profound as what washed over Melinda’s face. Her eyes filled with tears. Mine did the same at seeing her so emotional over this terrible burden she’d been keeping for weeks. We both stood there in her dining room crying, while three other girls waited obliviously for us in another room. “You don’t know what this means to me, Nikki.

Thank you for believing me.”

I was about to say something, but she grabbed me into a tight hug, so tight it nearly cut off my breath. She was stronger than she looked. I figured that was a gift with purchase for being from a line of demon slayers. They would need their strength. After all, swords were very heavy.

“But you’ve quit, right?” I asked when I found my voice again.

“Yeah, I have.”
