The atmosphere at the cemetery was bone-chillingly cold as the rain began to lightly fall on the fresh mud.

At the cemetery, my brother shoved me against the hard gravestone, snarling: “This is where you belong!”

The impact knocked the breath straight out of my lungs as I stared into the eyes of a monster I no longer recognized.
