Chapter 8 Hunters

• OLEANDER
• “Goddess! What happened?” My mother exclaimed, catching me on her way from the kitchen as I tried to sneak past the living area. Just then, I heard my dad’s voice.
• “Is that Oleander?” he asked as he also came into my sight. “Holy crap! What the hell happened to you?” He inquired while my mother cupped my face, posing the same question. I responded, “It’s just dry blood, no big deal,” even though I knew that wasn’t what they were asking.
