Authorities found the bloody woman beside two knives and a sword.
Two teen boys were arrested after allegedly attacking one of their mothers with a sword and talking about eating her liver, police said.
Deputies found the bloodied woman sprawled out across her bed beside two knives and a sword with a bent handle early Tuesday, reported The Columbian. The unidentified woman was hospitalized and is in stable condition.
There was no sign of forced entry in her Spokane, Wash., home, so the deputies’ attention turned to those with access to it, her 13-year-old son and his 14-year-old friend, according to Washington-based newspaper.
It appears that the suspects fled in the Dodge Durango SUV belonging to the other boy's father, police said.
The area of Spokane where the attack occurred. The injured woman’s son said he was under the influence of ‘blue pills’ when he encouraged his friend to kill his mother and eat her liver.

A police dog finally tracked them down at the end of an alleged crime spree that included crashing the Dodge into the side of a trailer home and breaking into a house to hide, according to police.
The boys bizarrely caused $2,000 in damage to that home by throwing hammers at the windows, walls and doors, according to court records obtained by The Spokesman-Review.
The 13-year-old admitted that he encouraged his friend to murder his mother with the sword and eat her liver while under the influence of "blue pills," the sheriff's office said.
He said he never would have considered committing these acts had he been sober, police said.
It was not immediately clear what kind of blue pills he consumed.
Authorities say they booked both teens in juvenile detention on suspicion of second-degree assault, taking a motor vehicle without permission, hit-and-run, burglary and malicious mischief.
