Chapter 4: The Roses Thrones

Cain had left Mary to retentive something. She didn't care what, as long as she had the hope of Abel and Samuel bursting thought the doors, and beating Cain to a bloody pulp. Even if it was only Abel she would understand. Cain was a frighting man, and what ever he had in store for the young girl was bound to be painful. She would just keep her ground, like she always did. Even when the Professor tricked her into eating that experimental candy cure for the common cold that only gave her a cold, she keep her ground and hit William in the head with a book. "Still thinking you have hope?",he asked holding up a knife, "Give it up...They aren't coming for you. Abel and your father are probably in a first fight right now. Yelling and punching. How I wish I was there."

Mary looked at the knife with a stern iron will look. You could tell she was related to Caterina. "Yes they are.",she said calmly. Cain smiled and bright the knife to her face. He didn't apply presser to the tip, so if wouldn't cut her. Thought he did run it across her cheek.

"Tell me...do you know anything about Samuel's father?",he asked toying with her. He wasn't going to cut her, well not yet anyway.

She was still looking at him, "No...Only that his a priest.", she said not really caring what Samuel's family history was right now.

"He's a monster just like me. A matter of a fact his my baby brother.",said Cain awakening his Crusnik side, "Amazing that your best friend may have this power. Vampire's that drink the blood of other vampire's. Crusnik"

Cain opened his eye's to show her that his blue eye's had now changed to blood red. His fangs made him look viscous. His blond hair made a halo of unholy darkness. Angelic wight wings appeared behind this devil. Something so beautiful, and yet so tainted with evil. Mary finally spoke, "SAMUEL'S NO MONSTER!",she yelled and tears fell down her face. She couldn't bare the thought of her best friend being such a beast. The monster that the Vatican tried so hard to rid the world of. There was no way he could be one.

"Then tell me...Has he ever told you about his grandmother? How about a grand father?", asked Cain seeing her disbelief, "If no it's because he don't have grandparents. Seeing as how Abel was made in a lab, and Esther parents kill when she was a child."

Mary tried so hard to not lesion to what Cain was saying. She knew Samuel wasn't a monster, and if he was that would change there friendship. The only thing that would change is her feeling's for him. If she knew more about him, she might dare i say love him. She would want to be close to him. Knowing that he could protect her. "SAMUEL'S NO MONSTER!", she yelled one more time before bursting out into tears. Cain was happy. He had done what he wanted. Bring tears to her face. Just one more way to bring pain. So he left, left her to cry. 'Samuel's no monster...he's my friend.' she thought closing her eye's, ' He's my best friend.'
