Taste Of Your Blood (FrankiAna)

Chapter 28

Franki's Point Of View

I run out from the house as fast as I can, only to notice that I run faster than I usually can. I run, I run and I run- not caring where will I end up.

I run in the woods not looking back, the defeated face of Diana is all I need for confirmation of any of what Denise said is true.

It's unbelievable.. foolish... a joke.

I'm waiting for any of them to say that it's only a prank, but all of them... all of them just look so defeated... guilty.

I run and I run but I didn't care even if it's starting to get dark or I'm loosing myself in this deep dark part of the woods.

What a shame... shame for thinking I'm a normal teenager. Shame that I live in a lie. Shame.

I run and I run until I see something shining, I walk slowly and approach it... just to find out it's a beautiful peaceful lake that's now reflecting the bright moon that appear in the sky.

It's dark, I'm in the forest, alone.

I sat down by the rocks that surrounds the lake, it's peaceful, clean, beautiful... The moon from above reflects on the lake, making it shine bright, showing the stars that aligned in the sky.

Everything happens so fast.... But maybe not? As I was being blind by all the events that happened, and ignored the reality of what it is.

"I see you found my secret spot?" I'm damn well familiar with the voice, I felt her sitting beside me- but decided to scoot far away from her.

"Look Franki, I'm sorry. I would've told you if Denise didn't stopped me." But I remain silent, throwing that information as if it's just a lesson from my literature class? It's too much for me to handle.

"Please baby? Please say something?" She pleads to me, I let out a sigh and and look up in the sky, bitter smile forming on my lips as I recalled the earlier revelation.

"What is there more left for me to say? As if I didn't found out my whole life is a lie, let alone not a human." I chuckled, "There isn't much left for me to say, I can't change anything. I can't change me, just regrets, regrets that I met all of you."

"Come on, you didn't mean that."

I turn my head and look at her with a small smile in my face... It's not a happy one knor relief, pleased.. It's sad, truth. "Sometimes I don't, sometimes I do. You can't blame me for that Diana, I got my whole life taken away from me, my life flipped upside down when I met you, not that just my parents adopted me but I'm a fucking daughter of the leader of the fucking wolves and vampires! It's so unfair... it's so fucking unfair..." I drop my head on my hands and let out a loud agony sobs.

I felt Diana put her arms wrapped around me, pulling me to her lap as I put my head on her shoulder, crying as I clutch my hand on her now soak t shirt from my tears.

"I know love, and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, if- if they didn't bother you, I could just leave you alone and continue your life.. But, but they harm you. I can't let them to that again." Diana whispered in my ears, this is my life now. I may have the control over it, but it'll never change the reality.

"Your father is a good man Franki, and so is your mom. Denise promised them to protect you, Denise made me promised to protect you, and I don't intend to break it. I'll keep you safe, I promise that to you." I didn't say anything as I feel my words don't matter anymore, I nod at her chest and stay silent.

Few minutes had passed and I decided to speak. "You know, life is like a time sand? But I think it applies for my situation the most."

"How so?" Diana asked curiously, as she continue brushing my hair with her fingers.
