Nellie squeezed my arm. “I can feel it in you, there is a strength there and I believe you will
overcome whatever it is your not telling me. I see the best of your mother in you. I know you
didn’t know her and you just met me so who am I to say…Jake helped raise you, I can tell, its
like a part of him and Alice, even Evie live on in you. The people stolen from you, by your own
father, but Clyde even though he’s a devil gave you something of his too. Don’t be afraid of it.
I think you know what you need to do. Theres only one way to end the cycle of loss and
suffering you have already endured.”
End the Devil
“One devil at a time,” was all I said as Carter came around the side of the house. I wonder how
much he heard of that conversation with that sensitive hearing of his. He pulled me into his
side and kissed my forehead.
“I see you two are getting along swimmingly,” He said as I snuggled into his side and inhaled
deeply. Nellie cocked her head and watched us for a long moment a contented smile on her
face.
“Your middle name is Briar?”
“I changed it to my first name. Why?”
“Because I think I know why she called you that,”
“My aunt told me it was a name my father chose, but now I know better then that,” I said.
“She wasn’t wrong, a Briar is a thorny bush, he made your mom have to leave for the safety of
you both, I think she hoped you would be the thorn in his side that put him in his place one
day.”
I snorted she had a point.

Carter and I bade Nellie goodbye with the excuse that Carter needed to feed me, however
when we got home there was still no salvageable food, he busted out the take out menus again
setting them in front of me while he dragged the trash can over to the fridge.
