It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things

LEMONY SNICKET, BITTER TRUTHS YOU CAN'T AVOID

•───⋅⋆⁺‧₊☽⛦☾₊‧⁺⋆⋅───•
🕯️

Here is how it goes: the Piedmont Family name clings to it's bearer like an oil stain; absorbed into the skin, blackening the bones so that they may never be free of it—dead or alive. Despite tradition (and foregoing tact) Reese Logan is not burdened by this name, not in the same way she is burdened by their blood. 

It is known from the moment she is pushed from her mother's womb, still covered in afterbirth and attached by the umbilical cord, observing this new world with those wretchedly familiar green eyes. The new mother will ignore those eyes, Piedmont eyes, and she will give her daughter her father's surname—she hopes that her daughter will be spared, but destiny is a fickle thing, and the Fates have a sick sense of humor. Logan or Piedmont, Reese is still the product of a rotten tree. 

It's in her seventeenth year that Reese learns what Piedmont blood truly means—when the generational rot begins to take root. It comes to her as she watches her home burn, the heat of it searing her skin while the wails of her siblings harmonize with the screaming sirens. For Reese, it's a betrayal that she will never understand; her mother does not get the chance to explain, and she never will (not when she is still in that house, her body shriveling up to reveal bones rotted by the Piedmont name). No one tells her that the Piedmont's and, by extension, Reese are cursed—that Death is the only lover a Piedmont woman may take, and he comes on swift wings when called.

Reese Logan—never Piedmont—had rarely, if ever, thought of herself as the curse breaking kind. Apparently, there's not much choice in the matter when one is of the Piedmont lineage, Reese didn't expect as much. Still, she has yet to figure out how anyone trusts that she, a teenager, traumatized by the loss of her parents, will match up evenly to a curse that has prevailed through generation after generation? Maybe that's the point, she supposes. Reese does not fear death, not when she is filled with a grief so thick that it threatens to swallow her hole. 

The lamb knows when it's met the slaughter.

authors note: 

𓂀 hi all, and welcome back to Tequila Sunrise. This book is going to be going through a serious revamp, and I'll be damned if I don't finish at least Twilight. As I have a lot more free time on my hands for the time being I have decided to fix some stuff from this book that I wasn't happy with the first time around (this will include: layout, theme and face claim changes, plothole fixes, relationship adjustments and also tweaks to the timeline). My inspiration comes from practical magic, beautiful creatures, the witches from The Originals and also a little bit of jennifer check from jennifer's body. This book does take place before and during the events of Twilight but does not strictly follow cannon. I hope you guys like what I have in store for you and thank you all for the support for the past few years !
