I was thirteen when my mother was murdered in front of me I remember we were heading to the car from doing grocery shopping when she looked behind herself with panic and protection in her eyes like that of a mother bear protecting her cub and told me to hide under the car so I did and three men came and started asking her a were the girl was I remember she looked at them and said she told them she would rather die than tell them were my child is then with a terrifying ka-paw with knowing they had shot her I remember how her blood came out of the wounds like a gushing pool of crimson from her stomach and how the people ran and didn't look back how they didn't hesitate. How she fell to the ground and looked into my eyes. I crawled out of underneath the car to the puddle of blood were my mother laid dyeing
"I love you kiddo I love you and your brother listen to me Mare I need you to do me a favor ok." she whispered
"Anything mom anything" I cried
"No matter what happens promise me you will look after mark ok?"She asked
"I promise mom I promeis." I replied
Then she yanked of her necklace and placed it over my head as tears slid down my cheeks
"That's my strong little girl I know you can do it. Mar listen to me and listen well whatever path you choose to walk I will always be proud of you whatever steps you choose to take I will always be proud of you. Do you know why because I know that you will always do the right thing in the end Mare I know you will and you will always lead people to do the right thing." Mom said to me lovingly with pain in her eyes.
"Mommy please don't leave me mommy please please."I sobbed
"Mare don't cry death is never the end baby it's only the beginning of the story. Mare I need you to promise me one last thing promise me that you will never bow down to anyone that you will never subdue to anyone Mare ok you must never back down you must never give up on a fight because nothing that you have is ever not worth fighting for I now you and I know that you will always be the strongest you will always be the most powerful and no matter what anyone tell you or how hard anyone pushes you will always fight."
and then just like that she was gone my mom was dead and she was never coming back but I did promise her even if I didn't say it out loud I will always be the strongest the most powerful and I would never give up fighting because that's who I was and that's who I will always be and I will die before I back down because like my mother told me what doesn't kill me will make me stronger. (End of dream)
Mare woke up in a cold sweat from the nightmare of her mother's death that seemed to hunt her dreams every night.
"It was just a dream."
I told myself as I got out of bead wiping the sleep out of my eyes and checking my clock which Read 2:30pm ha it felt like 6am which is the time I wake up on school days but to be honest I'm not a morning person I could sleep to 4pm if I really wanted to I walked to my bathroom and looked in the mirror
"Hello beautiful."I said to myself as I examined myself in the mirror.
I took out my toothbrush and turned on the hot water tape and let the water run over the toothbrush to rinse of whatever could be on the toothbrush it was a little precaution I had about my toothbrush It had to always be clean of course since that's going into my mouth and I sure as hell am not having any infections. After I rinsed of the toothbrush I then put tooth paste onto my toothbrush and brushed my teeth in little circles because technically it's the up down and all around thing your parents teach you once I was finished I spit the tooth paste foam out into the sink and turned the tape to a not to hot temperature and washed my face once I was finished I went to find something to wear I was thinking something red and black I wasn't shirr what I wanted to wear but it would probably catch my eye once I saw it besides I only dress to impress myself. I had decided to wear a black tank top and some midnight blue jeans. Once I had finished dressing I walked down stairs to the kitchen to find my little brother Mark playing video games with his girlfriend Jade
"Hey Mare, you sleep like the dead you know that?"Mark said
"Hey Mark and yes I know I sleep like the dead so what are you two up to today and wear is Kestrel and Rowan?"I asked
"Out hunting for blood."Mark replied
I walk to the fridge with my head held high and got out the milk and some "Just Oats" cereal and a big bowl(I'm a big eater I don't believe in diets or that kind of crap I think I'm beautiful just the way I am and no one can tell me different.). I than poured the cereal into the bowl and after some milk and grabbed a spoon from the drawer and with the bang of my hip the drawer closed with a thud as I started to walk outside to sit on the patio. Once I was settled and eating Mark came out the front door and hesitantly sat down next to me.
"Hey Mare can I ask you something?"Mark asked
"Well sure I guess. But it depends on what that something is doesn't it?"I retorted playfully
"Are you ok? I mean with Ash gone and everything because you've been seaming a little sad." he said with care
"I'm fine Mark and I have no clue what you're talking about I'm perfectly fine don't worry about it ok."I said god I hated talks like this it's so awkward talking about your emotions I don't know why cause normal girls have no problem but I rather not talk about how I feel unless I really need to.
"listen Mare I'm only trying to help you may be good at hiding it from the girl but not from me I'm your little brother I've known you all my life and all you've worried about is making sure I'm ok and happy and making money for my college since mom died. "He said looking at the house across the road
"Ok Mark. It's not Ash I'm worried about its you and the girls you know new that the girls are here I have to worry about their college and they have to eat food to they can't live off blood lone and they need new close and cars and school supplies and I'm juggling two jobs and still not making enough to take care of all five of use and you know dad refuses to pay for your college and my university." (I graduated from high school at 16 and finished university at 17 after I met Ash that summer.) I said letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
"Owe my gosh Mare I'm so sorry I forgot and you've got to register the girls at school and make a document saying your there legal guardian." Mark said realizing just how much ash had left me to do and just how hard it was to do all of those things.
"Yeah it's not easy and I have to worry about you and the girls future now mark so not only am I looking after you I'm looking after them an thank got dad got a job in Texas and let you stay here with me as your guardian otherwise this would be much harder. Plus I want to find out now that dads gone why were not allowed in the attack since mom died. I don't ever remember going up there even before you were born and I want to know what has hiding there."I said with curiosity in my eyes.
"Why do you want to go up there so bad who cares if we can't go in the attic? Its probably just a dusty old attic with old junk in it doesn't matter."He said with so much attitude it's rude
"I think you need to remember that I'm older than you Mark and watch the way you talk to me I'm your older sister Mark not your friend."I retort back angrily.
"Ok I'm sorry that was really rude I just don't know why it matters so much or why you're so drawn to the damn attic when dad sees its dangerous."Mark replies
"Well I'm a very dangerous girl mark it's just the way I am."I say finishing up my cereal and getting up to put my bowl in the sink.
"Yeah you certainly are hey are you going to the woods to do some hunting for deer and to practice with your rifle?"He asks
"yeah and after I'm going to go do some research on how to pick a lock and get some things I need."I reply casually and run upstairs to my room past my bed and grab my purse. And boot it like a wolf down the stairs with my adrenalin and just before I leave out the door I yell
"HAVE THE DISHES DONE BEFORE I GET BACK OR YOU CAN CLEAN BOTH HOUSES."And close the door behind me.
