Edds POV
It was late at night, I would have to say about one AM. I could not sleep, I would not allow myself to. The nightmares, the backflashes would come and make me scream again. Those horrible memories that just would not go away! The sickening things he did to me, made me do, I don't think i could live if i went to another pysicatric hospital. Yes i have had nightmares many times, but that was when i younger, where my mother and father were right down the hall from my room and could easily come and comfort me. Sooth my nightmares, my dreams, and let me relax and think pleasent thoughts. In my mind I didn't want to burden them anymore so i had my father prescribe me with very good sleeping pills. Ones that made dreaming impossible. But I didn't plan on having my nightmares brought back up, so i did not bring those pills.
Now my mate was next to me, sleeping pleasently and happily. I didn't want to burden him with my nightmares. My grandmother knew I never told any of my friends what happened to me when i was small. Never told them the horrors i had to face from five onward to nine. She told me to tell them but i had refused to tell anyone aside from the adults in my family. I thought back to my the converstation with yiayia, so many months ago.
X-X-X- FIVE MONTHS AGO -X-X-X
I was sitting on the couch of my home with my yiayia reading some files of people she was ordered to spy on. I was reading one of my favorite books. Though it was fiction it was very funny and very inspiring to read. Ironically it was about vampires. Though they did not sparkle like in another book Monique summarized for me when she was last here. As i was just getting to a very delectable part in the book my grandmother said something to me that made me lose concentration.
"Eddward, when are you going to tell your friends about your past?"
I gasped in surprise. My past had always been a tricky part of my life. "What do you mean yiayia?" I asked like I hadn't known what she was talking about.
"You know exactly what I mean Eddward. You are moving back to the cul-de-sac at the end of this school year. You are going to tell all you're friends about our family's secret as you have asked a month ago" She said calmly and gently. "For them to be apart of you're knight group as the family tree says you need to tell them everything that has happened in your past. I know that you moved up here for your training and your change. But also to that horrible no-good son of mine die. Let me tell you right now Edd that he is not dead. He is very much alive. And you need people on your side."
I nodded dumbly for once. I saw that horrible bastard go poof into black dust the moment he was electrocuted. My grandmother had a grim expression on her face as did my parents and aunties and uncles. Erebus had tears in his eyes, he came because he wanted to see his dad one last time and to get answers from him. He never got to though. They wouldn't let him into talk with his father unless he had an adult family member with him, but he didn't ask anyone and it was already to late by then. He saw his father being electrocuted by accident, he snuck in is what I mean. In his eyes his father did die back then but he didn't.
Me, my yiayia, parents, aunts and auncles all knew what that black smoke meant. It meant that the role of my life had come into play. A fight is gonna happen in the near to dear future and I would need all the help I get. And for me to succeed I would need knights on my side to help me through the hard times. For that to happen everyone must know about my past.
"I will Yiayia, I promise I will. I just do not understand how though. How do I tell them all the bad skata that has happened to me?" I looked to my grandmother, unshed tears in my eyes as memories invaded my mind again.
"My dear grandson, you just have to go with your feelings on this. I am sorry i don't have the answers not every elder does my boy. If they are all meant to be your knights than they will except you for all your faults." She got up from her place on the couch and made her way toward me, pulling me into her when she was close enough.
"My little Eddward I am sorry that it had to have happened to you my dear boy, and if your friends don't except it than you always, always have your family."
And i knew then that she was right... family will always stand by me. Even if they outright didn't show it.
End of flashback
It wasn't until then that I fell asleep and then the nightmares came.
"Come here boy it's time for my treat" he laughed and grabbed my arm, i was to weak and small to fight back. He took me back into my room and started on his 'treat'. This has been going on for four long years everytime i came over.
Everytime i came over he would take me into my room and do very horrible things to me. All the while leaving his wife and son in the front room without a care if they heard my screams.
He would touch me, in places no one should touch. He would torture me for hours upon hours.
This time i knew it would be different though. My grandparents were over, their house was being re-done again my uncle had kindly offered them room at his home while I stayed with them. In my opinion he thought that he could get away with hurting me with my grandparents were here, though they had the acute awareness of fully fledged vampire so them not hearing him torture me is highly unprobable.
It was another night at this hell. The monster came and took me away again. We were walking up the stairs, through the halls and to my room. Everypne was staying now, a little family reunion. As we neared my room I caught sight of my grandfather comming toward us. He looked really mad.
"Xenophan!" grandfather yelled when he caught up to us. He looked like a real vampire now. His teeth were showing, his eyes brightened to a vivid dark blue. His brown hair went wild almost like electricity was flowing around.
Xenophan stopped suddenly and then nervously turned around, gripping my arm tighter than he ever had before, and faced his father. My grandfather was a war veteran who saw horrible things in his life during that time.
"Yes f-father?" he stuttered. I winced when he gribbed my arm even harder.
"What have you been doing to this boy!?" Papus screamed going to Xenophan's face. His fists tightened so tight that the palms of his hands were bleeding.
"Father I do not know what you are talking abou?" my uncle stated, I could smell the fear rolling off of him.
"I know what you have been doing to him boy! You think me and your mitera heard you! We heard him! Do you think that we are oblivious?! Stupid even?! Well my son you are very wrong! I will not allow you to hurt him any longer!" Papus yelled at Xenophan.
Papus punched him in the face, Xenophan let go of my arm and I scrambled to get away from him. His hand was covering his nose which was bleeding profusely, he was groaning in pain.
Papus came near me gently he brought me into his arms and mumbled 'sorry's' in my ear. I couldn't hold back the tears anymore and i cried into my papus' shoulder.
I heard the running of feet comming near me and my grandfather. I looked and saw my uncle on his feet, a knife in his hand, a sinister grin on his face. My grandfather turned around and looked at him, growling louder than anything i had ever heard before.
"Well, well father it appears that you know my secret now. Such a shame i have to kill you now. You really should have just kept your nose out of others buisness old man. And for that you now have to face the price of it." He laughed sinisterly.
"You will not hurt Eddward anylonger Xenophan. You always have had a dark soul. You and your wife as well." My grandfather stood up shielding me with his body.
"DO NOT TALK ABOUT MY WIFE OLD MAN!" Xenophan yelled out. I winced at his volume and was sure the other adults heard it from downstairs by now.
"Your wife Xeno, already told me how long you were molesting Eddward. Four years, FOUR LONG YEARS THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON?! How dare you do this to the descendent?! How dare you cause him to become a ghost of his former self! HOW DARE YOU BRING YOUR MATE INTO THIS ASWELL!" he roared, I swore i saw the lights flicker from the volume.
Xenophan stayed silent, the same sinister smile still on his face.
"It's no wonder that woman is your mate, and you hers!" There was a flash and all i saw was my uncle and grandfather fight one another.
Then there was a roar and blood spattered all around the hall.
"Eddward..come here my dear boy" my grandfather said in a gravely voice. I was crying everyone was. My cousins were in their parents arms. I was in my grandmothers with my parents around us as well.
I went toward my grandfather. "Yes Papus?" i questiond.
"No matter what happens in the future my boy, always, always believe in family. Don't lose faith in yourself because so many others will always have faith in you. My Eddward, you will live up to your namesake. Your destiny starts today." Grandfather coughed up more blood as he bled out. We all knew he wouldn't survive. Not even our kind could after this kind of injury.
"Eddward...my dear grandchild...take my pendant. It will guide you through life as you travel the world. Remember...my son...who you are will make a great star someday. I love you my dear child...that is why i gave my life for you. Ailith my dear, help raise this boy through the rest of your life. Let no one else touch him, he is the descendent from the runes. Remember my dear wife, I loved you since we were thirteen. And that I will wait for you...in the stars my love...my children...i hope you...live good lives...I hope you have the best...futures." He coughed and i knew this would be the end "Goodbye my family"
With one final cough grandfathers old and weary heart finally gave.
He died because of me, but why did he die with a smile on his face?
I woke up to the screaming of my mate. It was then that i knew i had fallen asleep and that i probably was screamimg and wailing loudly.
"Edd, what's wrong what's the matter? Edd?" Kevin pleaded with me. I couldn't hold back anymore and I lept at him. Crying into his chest holding the pendent of my grandfather in my hands.
Kevin quieted after I did that, he just wrapped his arms around me and began whispering soothing words into my ear. Setting me in his lap and rocked us back and forth in a repedative motion.
I couldn't have asked for a better mate. He just let me cry and cry until i was sane enough to talk again.
