Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3386

The idea that Shiloh's oldest enemy was the Blood Queen herself was almost too much to wrap one's head around. But then again, Shiloh came from the Greene family, one of the most ancient bloodlines in existence. Moreover, no one truly knew how many lifetimes she had lived, how many centuries she had walked, or what she had witnessed and survived throughout it all.

Even when fragments of her memory had returned before, they were scattered and incomplete, confusing even to her. But now, with the remnant spirit's help, everything has come back in full.

Her ageless syndrome and her amnesia were both completely gone, and with that, the entire weight of her long, extraordinary life had returned to her all at once.

Andrew said quickly, "Shiloh, the last time the Vampire Queen fell into slumber was because…"

Shiloh cut him off, "You already figured it out. Yes. Lilith Bathory went into slumber because of the battle between the two of us. She went into a deep sleep, while I lost my memories. Now she's woken up first and launched a full offensive against Holtrien. She planned to eliminate me before I had a chance to recover. Unfortunately for her, she didn't account for me getting my memories back too."

With that, Shiloh seemed to have no interest in being around Andrew and the others. She turned and walked straight out of the vault, tossing words over her shoulder as she went.

"You can take all the gold and silver here. It's over a thousand years of the Greene family's accumulated wealth. I have no use for it anymore. Consider it yours."

Joe stepped forward quickly, his voice tight with emotion. "Ms. Greene, I don't want any of it. I just want to stay by your side."

He was visibly shaken because the woman standing before him seemed like a completely different person from the one he had known.

Shiloh turned and looked at him with cold, distant eyes. "I'm not your teacher anymore, and don't follow me. If you do, I'll kill you."

Joe went rigid, the color draining from his face in an instant. He looked like he wanted to say something, but Andrew stepped in and put a hand on his shoulder.
