Chapter 10 – Nightmare

"Santana? Where have you been? Why is your shirt tainted with blood? Are you hurt?" the old yet beautiful brunette questioned me when I got home. "Who is that behind you?"

"Mum.. I'm just" and before I could finish my sentence, the figure behind me sprung forward and slashed my mother's throat with his exposed fangs. The brunette collapsed onto the ground, eyes opened wide with shock. I gasped at the sight and pushed the man to the wall with my new gained speed, away from the old brunette. "I'm just helping you with the unfinished matter, Santana. Now, go and have a bite. You know you want to." He said with a smirk.

I turned around and found a pool of blood on the ground right in front of my mother, the woman that I respected the most. The sweet scent of the blood flowed to my nose even though I'm far away from the red pool. I felt a sharp pain in my gums and shrieked at the unexpected transformation of my teeth. And then it felt like an animal that had taken over control of my body, I pounced at the figure lying on the ground which was still breathing.

"NO!" I screamed at the top of my voice and jumped to a sitting position when I woke up from the past. "San! Are you okay?" Brittany woke up from her sleep at the sound of my voice. A worried look spread across her face as she watched me catching deep breaths. She held my right hand in her left and carefully wiping away the cold sweats that I have emitted all over my face with her right hand.

I was staring into spaces, still sinking in the memories of the past. When I felt the contact of her hand, I sprung out of the bed and collapsed onto the floor. "San! Careful!" She exclaimed at the sudden movements made by me and got up from the bed and made her way over to my side. Before she reaches me, I got up and sprinted to the bathroom, locking the door behind me. "San! Open up! Let me help you, San!" She cried out to me while making multiple attempts to turn the door knob.

Last night she begged for me to stay with her through the night and I agreed. What was I thinking? How could I spend the night with her? What if I kill her out of sudden lust? Although there were no intimate movements, we were so close together. I could have killed her! I thought to myself and my body couldn't stop shaking.

"San.. Please.. Open the door and talk to me." Hearing her voice makes me even more afraid. I'm afraid of losing her, just like how I lost my family. The thought of my family brought images of me draining away every single last drop of blood from my mother. She was alive before I drained her, Jason didn't kill her. I did.

I sat down on the cold floor with my back against the door and started weeping. The past is haunting me, again. The pain of losing someone you cherished the most is unbearable, topped by the guilt that I gained as I was the one who actually caused the loss of my mother. I swear that this sorrow is killing me inside, and that was the reason why I chose to throw away the humanity. Without feelings, I am free from all these pains, heartaches and guilt.

Brittany heard me crying inside the bathroom and she sat down against the door on the outside. That was the only thing she could do now as I refused to let her in. "Leave me alone, Brit. You don't have to wait for me, I'll be fine after a while" I said through my tears. She didn't reply, but I can still sense her presence just past this door. Her silent presence here soothes me and I couldn't thank her enough for being there.

However, I am not ready to let her know about my past. Or maybe, I will never let that happen.

PS. Just to let you know, the nightmare is not the complete version of Santana's past. More to come soon! xoxo
