Quinn woke up feeling dizzy, not that vampire could really do that, but certainly he had been hit with wood. Wood was poison for vampires; it was probably the most effective way for taking care of them for once. Quinn open his eyes and looked around carefully, there was a lamp with the light positioned directly on his eyes. He frowned and tried to ignore it, but even vermin would have been blinded by such an intense light. He tried to move but just he suspected his hands were tight to the seat he was in. He sighed deeply and shook his head; whoever did this to him clearly had a death wish. He started moving trying to get his hands free when he felt someone moving in the shadows. He froze and looked around only sensing a shadow. He smiled amused and let out one of those mad laughs of his.
"So this is the part where I'm supposed to ask …who is there." He laughed out loud once again feeling the creature coming closer to him. He smiled and relaxed on his seat listening for any kind of noises that could suggest him whatever he was facing.
"However, you are not asking…" The voice said from right in front of him. He looked up and the light blinded him forcing him to look away. Stupid he thought you will die anyways so why hide? He forced a grin and looked at the ceiling.
"You are not supposed to ask those things obviously" He answered the voice.
"And why not?" The voice asked once again.
His lips twisted to give the voice a wicked and mysterious smile as his voice changed to whisper "Don't you watch scary movies? It's a death wish"
The creature's heart started beating faster but kept still. Quinn waited for it to show its face so he could finally judge whatever he was facing. However it didn't. Instead a soft laugh came and Quinn realized it was a woman. Not a woman but a young female, probably on her teens.
"So… I amuse you" he said trying again. The girl laughed again but this time bitterly "Parasites are not amusing, the fact that you think you are funny it's the real amusement here"
Quinn frowned. He was getting tired of this stupid little game.
"Also the fact that you are trying to scare me is even funnier" the voice said once again "Don't you think that if I was actually scared I wouldn't be here?"
"The fact you are hiding is a clear clue you are indeed scare that I will see your face." He said smiling once again "It makes you a coward"
"Not really" she said with amusement in her voice "It makes me clever, and the whole plan of trying to make me feel ashamed of myself for not showing my identity is not going to work" The voice laughed out loud "You think I don't know your type? You try one of those little silly mind games where I will do exactly the opposite that you are saying so I will feel brave, but showing you my face is clearly a death wish…"
"Can you at least turn off the light?" he said frowning "I would at least like to see whatever I'm facing" The light was suddenly off and he frowned trying to adjust his eyes.
"Why you would like to see whatever is killing you?" the voice asked. He turned to look at the girl and noticed her small curve figure. She was dressed on a black ninja suit as her face was covered by a ski mask.
"To feel the proper respect for the creature obviously" He answered
"Why would you feel respect for that?" she asked carefully. He couldn't help but smile.
"Because whoever kills me should be rewarded with a prize! Killing the most dangerous vampire in the Night World" he said "I would give the prize myself but I think my head or heart will be the actual prize." He observed the girl carefully expecting her to show any weakness. Nothing came. He started getting impatience. Slowly without taking his eyes off her, he started forcing the rope off his hands.
"The most dangerous vampire in the Night World?" she asked carefully "And I'm supposed to be scared? What does it feels being captured by a vampire hunter?" she said amused. He could imagine her lips smiling. Quinn groaned angrily. He hadn't been paying attention when she hit him. And she was vermin. This little vermin had been the pone who had finally captured him. "You little vermin! I wasn't paying attention!"
She laughed out loud "Well, that was exactly your mistake and not mine" She then eyed him carefully "You are not a Redfern, are you?"
He then recovered his twisted smile "Not by blood but you could please notify some of my family, probably Hunter Redfern will care if I die, after all I am his heir" That made it. Quinn could feel her muscles contracting as she controlled a shiver. He smiled and added "I am Quinn as you see"
"Hunter Redfern's heir" she said walking closer "Quinn… The dirty parasite who enjoys taking the law in his own hands if I am not mistaken" she said quietly.
"You seem to know about me" He said.
"Of course I do… You are Quinn! The brilliant deadly Quinn" she said crossing her arms "Not so brilliant or deadly at the moment, I'm a little bit disappointed" she said.
Quinn frowned "Don't be, I am deadly and brilliant" She turned around and walked over the window. "Quinn…" she murmured "Quinn is not a name, is a last name" without turning she asked "what is your real name?"
"John" He said without thinking. He was looking at her, she looked so fragile, something inside him was telling him to near her, that he should be right there next to him. "I am John Quinn" he said again. She didn't turn but he could sense the amusement inside her "Well, hello John" she said. For a few seconds he couldn't help but enjoy the sound of his name on her lips. He only wanted to see those lips, that mouth… Wake up Quinn! A voice inside him screamed. He immediately frowned and gave her an ice glare "I did not invite to call me by my Christian name"
She laughed out loud, something inside him shivered but he put the feeling away "Sorry John, but what are you going to do, huh? Bite me? If you haven't realized, I am the one in control of the situation here"
"Since you know about me, it would only be fair if I know about you" he said quietly.
She tensed all over her and turned her head to face him directly "Now, why would I do that?"
He smiled madly "Because once I'm free I'll get you and crack your weak little neck"
"Fine then, I always enjoy a good battle anyways…" She frowned and shook her head "Plus it would only be fair if I kill you in battlefield"
He frowned and tried to make sense to whatever she was saying.
"Let me introduce myself John Quinn" she said walking directly towards him "I am your worst nightmare, but only that. I, my friend, am The Cat"

Mary-Lynnette stared at the ceiling. She had been doing that a lot lately. She didn't know for how long she had been prisoner or for how long she would keep being one. All she knew was that she had gotten herself into something weird and dangerous. If only she would have told Maggie to give her the money later or just keep it and forget about it. If only her step-mother wouldn't have sent her to the bank, if only she wouldn't have accepted Jeremy's offer for a Starbucks, if only she would have given the police her statement, If only…
There were so many things that linked together towards the situation she was in right now. She couldn't help but wondered about her family. How was her dad? Was her step-mother feeling guilty? Was her brother worrying too much? She knew the answer to all of those questions. Her father was probably sickly worried, trying to do the best he could to find out about her, no matter the cost or how far, he could go to the moon if someone told him she was there. Her step-mother was probably feeling dead guilty, even though was not her fault at all but a bad joke from destiny. And her brother, oh her brother! Her heart would only contract just thinking how miserable he must be right now, first his mother dies and then his oldest sister who has been playing the mother roll goes missing. She couldn't help but cry every night from all the pain her family must be feeling. She knew she was probably getting mad, especially since she started fighting with the stars. Thye would be just up there, shining and mocking her, they were free while she was not, they could see her family when she couldn't, they were happy while she wasn't, the could enjoy the night without worries while she couldn't forget the idea of dying any time soon.
Silent tears started coming out from her eyes again and she cleaned them off quickly. A soft knock came from her door and she closed her eyes quickly faking sleep. The door slowly opened cracking a little bit as someone walked in. Mary-Lynnette did not move and kept still breathing softly. Whoever it was started walking closer to her and she could feel it. Suddenly a hand started striking her hair off her face.
"Sweet angel, you sleep and dream but even there you will not find peace" The voice was rough and low pitched. It was a boy's voice. She didn't move. "Can you hear me?" the voice asked, Mary-Lynnette did not move and the boy sighed deeply slowly caressing her hair. Something happened then; the same pink gaze that surrounded her previously went around them. She could feel the boy's presence inside her as she tried to keep calm. His mind was like the universe, different colours were around it. She could feel his nerve when she let herself look inside his mind. She saw how he thought she was asleep, and she kept it like that. She saw a little ash blond boy trying to reach an apple from a tree for his little sister, the memory was buried but was still there. She moved towards another one, an older ash blond boy talking to his mother trying to look for support and… love. The memory was so pure that she was tempted to hug him. She wanted to hug the little boy and tell him everything was going to be okay, something the mother was not doing. Slowly her heart twisted and she felt the urgency of reaching out to touch him, to hug him and take his pain away. And suddenly there was nothing.
She opened her eyes; somehow she was sitting in his lap as his arms held her near him. Her head was resting on his shoulder and her breath tickled his neck. She felt his body tense and she slowly sat down. His eyes were troubled, and his breath was heavy.
"Ash?" she murmured softly. He looked at her and smiled softly, however his smile never reached his eyes.
"Hello there" he answered her fixing her hair behind her ear "I'm sorry I woke you up". She shivered at his touch softly.
"What are you doing here?" she asked smiling back. His smile changed his face, he would look alive once again.
"I was sent here to check on you" he said keeping his smile "I was worried"
Something inside her twisted. Why was he worried? Who was he anyways?
"I'm okay" she said looking away. She felt his chest move up and down and realized that he was laughing softly. "You are okay, I can see that" he said touching her cheek. She immediately pulled away from his touch. "Who are you?" she asked after a second thought.
A flash of hurt had crossed his eyes but was quickly gone and replaced by a smile on his lips. "I'm sorry, I haven't had the time to introduce myself properly" He swiftly lifted her up and stood up "My name is Ash. I am Mrs. Opal grandnephew…"
"And a vampire" she finished for him. Ash chuckled "Well done sweetheart, you remember"
She frowned and remembered the previous night where she had met him. His ash blond hair was messy and the first two buttons of his white shirt where open. Just then she realized he looked quiet elegant. Elegant and handsome her mind whispered.
"What are you doing here?" she asked again.
"I told you, I am here to check on you as my aunt asked me to" he said and his eyes turned black. She stood up in one second and looked at him with eyes widely open. He frowned confused "What's wrong?"
"Your eyes" she said surprise "They changed colours!"
He chuckled again and relaxed "Yeah… they do" the silently to himself but loud enough for her to hear "depending on my mood"
She nodded once and sat down next to him again slowly.
"Anything else you would like to ask?" he asked mocking her. She frowned annoyed.
"I'm sorry if my questions bother you but If you were on the same situation I am right now, you would love to know a few answers" she said without looking at him. She didn't know why but she felt the urge of slapping him from his lack of worry.
"Probably not" he answered her with big soft blue eyes "Sometimes is better not know certain things"
She frowned "Then you would be living a lie"
"But a way happier lie than a cruel reality" he said lost in thought.
"That makes sense but It's not real" she said frowning "Life cannot be that way otherwise you don't survive… you need to face reality even though it's cruel…" He stared at her carefully for a few seconds. She slowly started feeling the heat in her cheeks blushing. "That's what I think at least"
"Fair enough" he said without taking his eyes from her. Those big dark green eyes hold her for a while "Anything else you would like to talk or ask about?"
"Why are you talking to me?" he laughed out loud.
"I can leave if you want" he answered her. She frowned feeling angry again "I'm serious"
He cleared his throat trying to control his laugh "I… I am here to make sure you won't go mad" he said with a shrug.
"Mad?" she asked surprised "as in crazy?"
He rolled his eyes to her "Yes, as in crazy"
"Why would I go mad?" she asked incredulous.
"Don't you know that ver… humans" he corrected himself "or creatures in general need to have contact and interaction with other creatures in order to keep themselves in reality? It's part of the psychology of how the brain works." He said shrugging.
Mary-Lynnette looked perplex. She had heard of that as a method of torture but she never thought that this situation could apply to her reality at the moment.
"For how long have I been here?" she asked quietly. He tensed and looked at her with big dark blue eyes "three months".
Three months. Three months. Three month. Ash's voice echoed in her mind. She had been prisoner for three months.
"Mary-Lynnette?" he said standing up carefully avoiding touching her "what's wrong?"
She looked into his eyes and saw the big blue mixing with the dark green once again.
"I…I have… been here for… three months?" she asked incredulous with pain. He nodded softly "I want to go home Ash. I don't want to be here! Why am I here on the first place? Why Ash? Tell me why!" she said sounding hysterical.
"Hey! Hey!" he said hushing her "It's okay… calm down" he took a deep breath "I heard you are here because you might be part of some plot" he said looking away, not before she noticed his eyes had turned black "I just think you were probably at the wrong place at the wrong time… But tell me Mary-Lynnette, what were you doing there?" he said leaning forwards to her. He looked into her eyes but she wasn't really looking at him. She seemed to be far far away lost in thought.
"I…was at the bank, I was leaving some money my friend had given back to me…" she whispered to herself "I… there was an assault" his eyes turned into a dark green and black staring at her with intensity "there were three men" she whispered "one of them… the leader… he ordered them to take me the next time I met them…" she didn't see his muscles tensing "I can't remember his eyes… but they called him Redfern…" she said. He stood up angrily.
"It doesn't matter the way he looked Mary-Lynnette!" he yelled at her "What is really important is why you were there!"
She froze looking at him startle and some part of her was scared. "I told you… I was there leaving my friend's money!" he turned his back to her trying to calm himself down.
"You said that was the first time you met him! What about the second time?" he said caressing his temples.
"I… I was there with a friend" she answered him "I was there getting a coffee!" he laughed bitterly.
"You were with your boyfriend getting a coffee? You were with a friend? With a girl? With a boy? Why? Why were you there?" he said yelling again. She jumped at his sudden anger but stood firm.
"I told you! Then the leader took me! Ask him why he brought me here! I would love to hear his answer as well!" she blurted out.
He laughed bitterly "Too sad then because I don't know why he took you!" he took a deep breath "I guess he thought you were part of Circle Daybreak or something like that. An spy or something…" he added studying her expression. She looked at him confused. His black eyes seemed to be troubled.
"Are you bipolar?" she suddenly asked. He looked at her perplex before storming out of her room slamming the door after him.

"She moved!"
"No, she hasn't moved" David answered frowning.
"Yes, she did" Eric fought back.
"Eric, she needs a doctor or a hospital or a witch!" David said rising his voice "She won't make it by herself!"
Eric frowned "David, we have to help her!"
"And what do you think I'm trying to do for God's sake?" David said standing up "She has been like this for at least a month!"
Eric frowned and found himself speechless. He hadn't realized the fact that they had been on that place for a whole month. If it wasn't for David, he would have gone mad the first day. However, the girl was torturing him. Nobody had come down to check on her suggesting the idea that they just threw her in there to let her die. A shiver went down his back.
"I don't understand" Eric said.
"She is cold as ice down here" David said to himself "and her pulse is not exactly very good either…" he looked up to his friend "She is dying Eric and we cannot help her"
"No!" Eric yelled at him rising his arms in frustration "We can't just let her die David!"
David shook his head and leaned forwards to the girl touching her pulse. "Her heart is really weak Eric, plus she barely moves anyways"
Eric walked forwards and pushed David away from the girl "You don't understand" he said covering the girl with his jacket once again. "You don't understand because you do not have a sister"
David frowned confused "what is that supposed to mean?"
Eric shook his head and didn't look at him "I mean that you could just let the girl die because she doesn't remind you of anyone. I have a little sister, I would die if I find out that she was dying and nobody helped her" David open his mouth to interrupt but Eric ignored him "Or… my sister could be dead by now, and here I am unable to do anything about it, however I can help this girl David… We can help her"
David watched him in silence for a while after sitting next to him.
"Then we'll have to pray Eric… Because from that it looks, she won't make it too far…"

"She doesn't know anything" The blond boy said looking at the fire in front of him. The strong flames seemed to be mocking him. They were strong and free, while he wasn't.
"What do you mean with anything?" the black hair vampire said in front of him "She must know something!"
"I told you Lilly" he said with a deep sigh "She said she had been leaving some money that some other vermin had borrowed previously from her…"
"What about the second time then?" Lilly said getting angry.
"She had been there having a coffee with her boyfriend or a friend or who cares? She was telling the truth" he said feeling tired.
"B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T!" Lilly screamed making sure to highlight every single of the letters "You cannot possible believe that Ash!"
The blond boy turned around to face her "She wasn't lying"
"How do you know that?" Lilly said angrily
"Because… I did what Quinn asked me to" he said smiling "I monitored her mind the whole time, plus… I used my charms" he said winking in the end.
Lilly took a deep breath and sat down.
"Then she trusts you?" she asked carefully. He turned back towards the fire once again "Yes she does" he answered "She doesn't know who I am"
"Of course she doesn't you moron" Lilly said with a giggle "If she knew then we would be on deep shit, or it would mean she actually works for Circle Daybreak"
"No, retard." Ash said annoyed "I meant, she doesn't know who kidnapped her"
Lilly smiled at that madly "Then everything will go just as we planned it" her long black silky hair was tied up showing of her white perfect skin. Her red lips were coloured from the red wine she was drinking, producing a small flush in her cheeks. She didn't looked older than Ash, but he knew she was even older than Quinn "You need to get closer to her Ash, we need her to trust you completely"
Ash didn't look at her "I know Lilly. Quinn already told me my job"
She laughed out loud and he turned to look at her. She was grinning madly holding her wine on one hand "Not like that my boy" she said "I mean, closer"
Ash raised his eye-brows "Why would I sleep with vermin?" something inside him twisted but he kept his face out of any emotion but surprise
"Because…" Lilly said standing up "Vermin girls have this ridiculous idea where the boy they fancy will sleep with them only if he truly loves them" she then turned to look at Ash "You my boy need to do exactly that! Do that, win her heart, and she will have to tell you everything she knows or hears. She will think you could give your life for her and that she means everything to you… This whole idea of 'sleeping together' is the last proof you will give her to show that you love her" she laughed.
Ash looked at her speechless. Surely he had done mess up things in the past, surely he had broken girl's heart since he was very young, surely he had destroyed some of those people's life in the past but never like this. "That will break her, you know that"
She waved his comment away "She will only find out once we have all the information we need"
Ash shook his head "She doesn't know anything"
She laughed and walked towards the big window "Sure she does. She is just hiding it from you"
"This is not what Quinn told me to do Lilly" Ash answered immediately.
"If you haven't notice Ash Redfern, Quinn is not here" she said looking at him. Her big eyes shining from the moon light reflecting her beautiful face "And if I must remind you…" she said making her way towards him. He watched her carefully as she place herself behind him; she slowly leaned forwards and whispered in his ear "It was you the one who kidnapped her on the first place"

The smell of cookies filled the whole kitchen. Mrs. Opal didn't need to cook or anything but as his nephew was out, then she might as well try something out. She was not a genius, but she did not need to be one to understand her nephew's plan. She had seen him entering the girl's room trying to win her trust with his silly acting. She had warned him to stay away from the girl and he hadn't listened; now this was war.
Slowly she let the smell fill the whole room. She had already asked Gillian to go and get the girl; she knew there were better ways to win the girl's trust instead of playing with her feelings. She looked around her kitchen; the whole pace was a mess. Gillian had helped her with the ingredients, the flour was all over the place leaving a white trial over the table, some chocolate was dripping from one of the spoons, the silver knife that had helped Gillian cut the thick chocolate bar was still lying there next to the thick stakes she had used to give better shapes to the cookies.
Shy steps approached the kitchen and she turned around smiling. There, with a shy look was Mary-Lynnette. Her long brown hair was in messy waves, she looked skinnier and her skin was paler, but not on the healthy way. Mrs. Opal frowned. She hadn't been eating properly and her body was starting to show the changes.
"Hello there" She greeted the girl standing awkwardly in the door softly "Come on in" Mary-Lynnette seemed uneasy but did what she was told, Mrs. Opal smiled softly "Gillian and I have been making cookies the whole day, would you like some?" Mary-Lynnette shook her head and answered quietly "No thank you ma'am"
Mrs. Opal frowned. The girl's voice sounded dead, she looked at her carefully and noticed that her hands were slightly shaking.
"Oh, are you feeling alright dear?" she asked sitting down next to the girl. Mary-Lynnette nodded and smiled softly but the happiness did not reach her eyes. Mrs. Opal sighed deeply "Darling, I know you want to go home, and you know I believe you shouldn't be here on the first place" Mary-Lynnette looked up and locked her big brown eyes on the old lady. Her perfect white hair was carefully brushed away from her face showing off her pale skin, she was wearing a normal purple dress making her look innocent and sweet.
"Are you one of them?" Mary-Lynnette asked before she could stop herself. Mrs. Opal's expression didn't change. "No darling, I am different" she answered honestly.
Mary-Lynnette nodded and asked again "Are you… a… vampire?"
That called Mrs. Opal's attention "How do you know about…" she stopped herself and sighed angrily "My nephew told you, didn't he?"
Mary-Lynnette looked perplex but nodded.
"That little…" she stopped herself and took a deep breath "It doesn't matter. But to answer your question, yes darling, I am a vampire" after a second thought she added "a lamia vampire"
"What is that?" Mary-Lynnette asked. Mrs. Opal smiled when she noticed Mary-Lynnette relaxing on her chair.
"Vampires can be separate in two types. The lamia vampires and the made vampires" she looked at the girl and saw her big brown eyes full of curiosity "The made vampires are the ones your kind knows the most. They stop again, they are stuck on their bodies, and they cannot reproduce or age. On the other hand, the lamia are the opposite, we are born vampires and we age, we only stop ageing when we change a human into one of us"
"Do you drink blood and all that?" Mary-Lynnette asked. Mrs. Opal chuckled softly "Yes honey, we do, but some of us only drink donate blood or animal blood"
Mary-Lynnette nodded and her stomach moaned. Mrs. Opal laughed softly.
"You are hungry my dear, why don't you have a cookie?" she said offering one "They are still warm"
Mary-Lynnette took one quietly and bit a little bit. It was delicious. Hunger took over her and she found herself having another one.
"For how long am I going to be here?" She asked the old woman.
Mrs. Opal looked at her sadly "I don't know my dear… I don't know" Mary-Lynnette nodded and looked around the place. It was a real mess. She stood up and cleaned the flour from the table, took the butter and put it back to the fridge.
"Honey, you don't need to clean" the old woman told her but Mary-Lynnette shook her head "It's okay, I just need to do something…"
Mrs. Opal smiled and touched her arm gently "Then what about reading?" Mary-Lynnette looked at her with big eyes "Can I read something?"
The old woman laughed softly and pulled her towards the next room carefully. There was a small bookshelf over there "You can take whatever you please" the old woman said. Mary-Lynnette smiled and moved slowly towards it reading the different names carefully.
"Pride and Prejudice" she said removing one of the books while Mrs. Opal watched her silently "It's a really good book" she added.
"I guess it is darling, I have not read it" the old woman answered.
"Then why do you have it?" Mary-Lynnette asked confused.
"It's not mine, It's my nephew's" she added quietly.
Mary-Lynnette turned to face her perplexed "Your nephew read Pride and Prejudice?"
Mrs. Opal chuckled softly "I know dear… even I'm surprise"
Mary-Lynnette nodded and turned to examine the book.
"Promise me something darling" the old woman said breaking the silence. Mary-Lynnette looked up to her and saw her eyes full of determination. "Hm… Yeah" she answered unsure.
"You stay away from my nephew" she said locking her eyes with the girl in front of her "He is dangerous and cruel" something inside Mary-Lynnette twisted "He will only harm you… Ash is a boy that will destroy your soul and hopes, and not just that, but he will destroy you"
Mary-Lynnette swallowed and nodded quietly. Mrs. Opal nodded once and smiled softly when a noise from the kitchen broke the silence between them. She immediately was next to Mary-Lynnette and grabbing her arm softly sent her back to her room. Mary-Lynnette nodded but before turning around she hugged the old lady. Mrs. Opal took a step back surprise from the girl's reaction but hugged her back. Slowly she pulled back and looking at the girl carefully she said "Darling, go to your room and stay there" Mary-Lynnette nodded and left quickly.
Mrs. Opal took a deep breath and moved towards her kitchen. There a dark hair boy was lying on the floor. The smell of alcohol hit her and she realized that the boy was drunk. His tan skin looked even darker with his black leather jacket, his hair was messy and small drops of sweat were on his forehead. She frowned. "What are you doing here boy?"
The boy's black eyes faced her. He was frowning and growling threateningly "They are taking her away!" he said. She noticed his hands shaking and she took a step forwards.
"Calm down son" she said softly
"Calm down?" he yelled incredulous "Are you retarder? How am I going to calm down? You've hurt her! I know you have!" he screamed with anger.
She frowned and tried to calm him down "It was not me son, I promised you I would take care of her the moment you asked me to! I have been taking care of her!" Her voice was steady and cam but the boy was not listening.
"They have hurt her!" he cried "That was not part of the deal when I allowed them to take her here!"
She shook her head softly "You didn't think about the consequences son. You thought that bringing her here would finally allow you to love her, keeping her away from her family would finally allow you to change her. But my nephew came in your way and took that from you when he noticed her"
"I had it all planned! I was ready! But they came and attacked in public!" he screamed.
"I know son" she said trying to calm the boy down "I know you had it all planned… You just planned it in the wrong place… Once my nephew saw her and realized that it was the same girl, he thought she might have been one of them… Ironic…"
"Ironic?" he asked confused.
"Yes son, Ironic" she said sitting down "The fact that you were taking her away exactly to become one of those Circle Daybreak people dear… You are a Night World creature, by falling in love with her you automatically became one of them…"
The boy let out a cry of pain. The old woman frowned, truly the boy looked miserable, and she couldn't blame him. He had everything planned. He would take the girl away and leave this bloody place to love her instead. He thought everything would be perfectly fine, but he took too long, or destiny decided to laugh in his face.
"Is she upstairs?" he asked. The old woman frowned realizing the boy's intentions
"She is son, but you cannot take her right now" she said standing up quickly "My nephew will be here any time soon and you shouldn't be here anyways"
The boy growled again but in anger. His hands started shaking as he stood up and took hold of the table to support himself.
"You don't understand!" he yelled. His voice was changing. It was rough and harsh, she took a step back realizing what he was doing.
"Son, calm down" she said breathing deeply "You might end up doing something you will regret"
"Don't tell me to calm down! You can't tell me what to do!" he screamed "You don't own me! I can't be tamed!"
She took another step backwards. "Son, just please… understand"
"No!" he screamed as his back twisted in an awkward position "I won't understand! There is nothing to understand!" he said. A growl of pain followed his words as his body kept twisting in different positions, his hands grew and hair started taking over his body.
"Son!" she screamed
But it was too late. The boy growled and grabbed the first thing he could find on the small table. Quickly he raised it and pulled it through the old lady's heart.
The warm blood fell down his hand as he realized what he had just done.
Slowly he grabbed her and lied her on the floor, her blue eyes were looking at her with a last tear falling from her eyes rolling over her cheek. Those sad blue eyes accusing him, telling him how he had just screw everything up, telling him how different things will be and how he had just lost his last chance to save the girl he loved.
"No!" he screamed again before running out of the door. He ran fast, trying to get away from the scene on his memory. He was not going to give up, it didn't matter if the old woman was dead, he was going to save her somehow. He had been the responsible of her kidnap, and he was going to take care of that, he was going to take care of her; he was going to take her away from them, from him.
