The Slayer Chronicles: First Kill
“All around the room were bouquets of pink roses. At the far end of the room, at the farthest point from where Joss was seated with his hands folded and head down, was a small white coffin. Inside was Cecile, or what had once been Cecile.
He had silently begged the powers that be that her coffin would be closed, that her body wouldn’t be put on display for people to gawk at. But his pleas had fallen on deaf ears, it seemed. So Joss stayed where he was, at the back of the funeral home, and refuse...d every suggestion that he go up and say his good-byes.
He would never say good-bye to his sister. Never.
And he wouldn’t cry over her shell until his pain had been relieved, either. No, he would use that pain, tuck it somewhere inside of him until he had the strength to find whatever had killed her and bring it to justice somehow.
He’d told his parents about the monster—that he’d seen a creature looming over his bleeding sister, but could not seem to recall its face, no matter how hard he tried.MoreLess
