Chapter Two: Goodbyes
The way Mother looked at me was…terrifying. All the years I had known Mother, including the most recent hundred, she had never given me such a look of anger. Everything was quiet. Nobody dared to move not even I who was in deeper trouble than I imaged that night.
"Please-." She put her hand up, the motion once used on my 'younger sister' Yukina when she had almost attacked a young girl like herself. Mother had warned us never to hurt such young humans, she didn't like it. Like Yukina was in trouble, so was I.
"I warned you not to go outside when we were not there. It is dangerous." She seethed and I was getting angry. "Why can't I? Why am I so different from the rest of you?" I asked feeling like everyone was against me.
"Come Eric, we shall leave them to talk." More like argue if you ask me, I thought watching the pair walk away towards the home. Mother paced in front of me, her hand on her forehead. "Aphrodite you are different. Understand you can do things that we cannot. You are special just like your sister." I put my head down. I didn't want to be different, life was cruel when you weren't the same as everyone else.
"Oh my child," She pulled me into her arms instantly and I cried into her chest. I was afraid of what those men could have done to me. Afraid that I would be hurt and no one would be able to save me from the pain.
"Mother. I love you." She held me tighter. I was lucky to gave been able to be with my mother again. She still loved me and watched over me like before. "I love you too-."
She stiffened in my arms, letting out a gasp and suddenly, she just blew up. I screamed when she just broke into many fragments, blood and flesh covered my body and face. I screamed louder, as the comprehension of what had happened finally passed through me. I noticed a stake wrapped in silver on the floor and let out a horrified gasp and stepped back.
"Are you okay?" A man asked and I stared at him, my eyes wide and mouth open as I hyperventilated. He killed my mother. He killed my mother. "You killed her?" I whispered stepping away as the man came closer. "Did she bite you?" I glared at him, projecting all my fear into rage. "You killed my mother!" I jumped at him. My fists flying in rage and pummeling his face into the ground.
He screamed in pain and tried to buck me off but I wouldn't let him. "Get her off me!" He cried out and suddenly I was picked up in mid air and tossed aside, my back hitting a tree. I heard a sickening crack but I was able to stand. "She one of them!" Another screamed and I moved out of the way just in time to avoid being stuck with a stake and silver. I moved fast screaming for Godric and Eric and my sisters to help me. I ran past a tree when I was grabbed by the waist an pulled against a hard surface. I struggled thinking it was a human who was going to kill me. "Den er jag Godric." (It is me Godric.)
I stopped and turned in his arms. I cried shaking as I let the horror sink in. "Eric ta henne hem och stanna med henne. Berätta Aphrodisia till komme." (Eric take her home and stay with her.)
I hadn't felt Eric come but when he pulled me along, away from the humans who just murdered my mother. "De slaktat henne JAG vilja till döda dem!" (They killed her I want to kill them!)
But my yells went unnoticed.
Eric took me home where Aphrodisia and Yukina were huddled near the back trying to stay hidden if the humans were to come closer. Yukina whimpered when she saw me, her eyes were cold and I could tell she blamed me. I did to. If I hadn't gotten up later I could have saved her from dying such a horrible way.
Eric dropped me so I could stand but he still had his arm around my waist, doing as Godric had ordered him. "." (Aphrodisia Godric wishes for you to help.) She smiled proudly at him but the look she gave me was the same as Yukina.
It said loud and clear 'Its your fault she's dead.' Yukina sat on the floor and cried. She had been with Mother longer than both Aphrodisia and I. Eric let me go and the first touch of the floor I was flying out of there, if I had been faster I could have gotten out the door in time.
Like always, I was caught. He grabbed me before I could feel the night breeze on my skin. "Nej Aphrodite. Dess över." (No Aphrodite. Its over.) He carried me to the living room of the house. I knew it was.
He dropped me when I went weak in his arms. I hit the wood with my knees and cried into my hands. Mother, I'm sorry. Eric left my side and I was happy. I could wallow in my own grief without having to feel watched.
Human screams echoed all over and in the house. Godric was giving no mercy and Aphrodisia had no mercy. She was a true vampire even if she was just a half-breed.
So I stayed on the ground for a while, until Godric and Aphrodisia returned all bloody. Godric had reassured me it wasn't my fault, that the humans would had found their home and attacked. Mother's death had been an accident but Yukina and Aphrodisia wouldn't forgive me.
Since that day, Godric had taken care of us like we were his daughters but when the time came for us to 'move' on, Yukina and Aphrodisia left together leaving me with Godric and Eric. They wanted nothing to do with me and that seemed to send me into 'depression'. As the years went by, during the 20th, I refused to drink blood. I missed my mother and the siblings who hated me.
Godric had told me I was under his care that Mother wanted him to watch me. I was the special twin that the humans who knew of our existence wanted. I was a key but to what, she didn't know.
When I refused, he forced me to drink from him. If I refused human blood I would drink his old age blood, he had told me. He had done it several times to me.
During the 21st century, vampires finally 'came out of the coffin'.
More troubles would follow.
Hope its good!
