And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie) novel Chapter 315

"Because it is." I scoffed with a chuckle. "At least I'm not the only one here."

"Well—" she muttered, letting her sentence trail off as if she wasn't sure she should tell me whatever it was that was on her mind.

I wasn't a person who liked secrets, at least not secrets kept from me.

"Trixie, what are you not telling me?"

A heavy sigh escaped her as she shrugged her shoulders again and began to fiddle with her hands placed on her lap. "Well, you and your brother are the only ones that came from Odin."

There was no way that was possible. After hearing the stories of who Odin was, and what he used to do in legends, there was no way I could believe that.

"No way, there is no way he only produced my mother through his time of fucking women on earth. I can't believe that." Standing from the bed, I made my way towards the balcony, admiring the dark shadows dancing upon the realm welcomed by the darkness that consumed us.

It was crazy to think how in the dark, this realm and my own could look so similar. The land completely enveloped and every flaw or imperfection hidden away from the sight of those who could potentially judge it.

"There were others, Cassie." Trixie said softly, causing me to sigh. "But none of them lived to make it here."

Turning quickly, I stared at her, unsure if I had heard her correctly. "What?"

"They died, Cassie. Why do you think everyone is excited about you and your brother being here? It's never happened before."
