CHAPTER 22: Mother

Sara woke up to find herself in a cell. She sat up slowly. How had she gotten in a cell? The last thing she remembered was talking to that human, Kai.

"Are you back in control of yourself, Sara?" Sara looked to her left to see Diva. "You don't seem to be out of your mind anymore"

"Not that you COULD do anything in there besides kill Diva" a voice said from outside of the cell coldly.

Sara looked outside the cell to find Kai. She started to laugh hysterically. She couldn't help it. "Unbelievable!" she yelled out. "You actually had me convinced for a while!" She chuckled as she stood up.

Kai stayed back a few feet and watched her carefully. "What do you mean?"

Sara stopped laughing and gestured around her. "You hate me and yet you haven't killed me. You put me in a cell. There is only one thing you could want"

Getting her meaning, Kai shook his head. "I don't want to experiment on you, Sara. I want answers. The cell is just in case you start getting homicidal. You went out of control and murdered Amshel Goldsmith and Nathan Mahler. You almost killed Diva too, but you passed out"

Sara froze in shock. "What?!"

"It's true" Diva confirmed, suddenly standing at her side. "But it's alright. I forgive you. I didn't really like Amshel, not anymore anyway. I am going to miss Nathan though. But at least we still have our babies"

"I want to know where you got your powers, Sara" Kai spoke up.

Sara focused on Kai but it took her awhile to process his words. "I told you, those bastard scientists GAVE them to me"

Kai shook his head. "I know that. That's not what I meant" He thought over his next words carefully. "HOW did they give them to you?"

Sara frowned and then a light came into her eyes. "I get it now!" She chuckled. "You want to know about the Source!" She laughed. "You want to know about Illyria"

Kai looked at her with interest now. "Who is Illyria?"

"She's my mother" Sara said in a low, lethal tone. "My OTHER mother"

Kai frowned at her in confusion. "What do you mean your 'OTHER' mother?"

Sara got a far away look in her eyes. "The woman who birthed me was a human. I don't remember anything about her. The scientists took me away from her before I got to know her" She glared at Kai. "Illyria was NOT a human. Her genes turned me into a monster, gave me a new life. That makes her my 'other' mother" She gave an ironic smile. "SAYA is my mother too. She also gave me a new life, as a Chiropteran"

Kai glared at her at the mention of Saya. "WHAT IS Illyria? If she isn't a human, and she isn't a Chiropteran, WHAT is she?"

Sara cocked her head. She walked slowly toward the bars of the cell. "She is a monster. Her race is called 'Daimons'. She still talks to me sometimes, you know"

"Where is she?" Kai demanded to know. "Where are her people? What do they want?"

Sara glared at him. "Her people killed each other off a long time ago. You don't have to worry about thar. At least not YET" Sara looked at Diva. "If our children our born healthy, Mother's race will be reborn through them. MOTHER will reveal herself at their birth"

Kai backed away from the cell involuntarily. "If what you're saying really happens, what happens then?"

"The human race will be dominated" Sara told him. She got a look of confusion. "But... I don't really... have any hatred for humans anymore. Well, not ALL of them anyway"

Kai cocked his head at that. "Then leave Diva. Stop Illyria's plan"

Sara looked at him then, but there was no sign of negative emotions this time. "I won't betray my family. Not for ANY reason"

Kai got angry then. "What about Saya?!" He went a little closer to the cell. "SHE is your family too, isn't she? You said it yourself, Sara! She made you a Chiropteran"

'But I am no longer worthy to serve her, and I can't leave Diva' Sara thought to herself silently. "I've already given you my decision, Kai" she said to him.

Kai glared at her and then started to leave. He turned back before leaving though. "What do you REALLY wish, Sara?"Without waiting for an answer, he left.

Sara winced as grief consumed her. 'My wish can never come true, Kai. My greatest wish now... is to be human'.

Diva glanced around the cell and got a sad look. "How are we supposed to break out of here, Sara? I don't think Saya will release me this time. Sometimes I really hate her"

Sara looked at Diva with a mock hurt look. "You underestimate my abilities, my dear Diva"
