Rebirth of a Murderer. The Hemerwig Series.

Ch. 11-Regret

To write or not to write? The second would be my sin but the first would be my viciously innocent pleasure. Sorry but English class has really been inspiring me. LOL! I just felt like I should share!

This chapter will be about discovering more info about the other species. Let me know which species is your favorite below so that I can add more face time!!!

Oh and I changed Chris, Thalia's mate and Werewolf alpha, to Caleb!  I am also changing Dimitri, the only male mermaid and Pandora's friend, to Rivan. Please put that in memory!!!!

I was out of the closet and walking down the hall. The sights were all familiar to me. The sounds welcomed me like a spider web to a fly. "Stop! You're going to hurt her," someone exclaimed as I tried to turn the corner. I clutched my chest and fell to my knees. I didn't want to give up yet.

"Not before you do," someone else exclaimed. I remembered this part. I just needed to figure out who these people were. My vision blurred around me and I struggled to listen to the words being spoken underneath the screams. I looked back and saw a little boy crying with snot running down his nose and blood on his arms and legs. "Mommy," he exclaimed and ran toward the kitchen. "Don't," I called out but I was too late.

The boy was already in the kitchen. I heard someone scream behind me. When I looked back, no one was there. I needed to know who that scream came from. I tried to crawl backwards and felt the pain running through my body. My head was pounding and my heart was beating on overdrive. I tried to stay here, in the bloody hallway, as long as possible, but the end result was the same.

I woke up with sweat on my face and gasping. Why couldn't I hold on to that dream? Why was I always so close to a memory but wake up gasping and sweaty? "Here," Selene said and handed me a cup of water. I drank the cool liquid quickly before turning to face her. There was concern on her face as Selene sat next to me. "Was I loud," I asked. Selene glanced down and I followed her gaze. There was blood coming from my arms. "You were trying to hurt yourself. I held you down as much as I could," Selene said.

"Thanks," I whispered before staring at the wall. I couldn't escape my dream. Why? If I couldn't get any answers from it, why was I seeing it so often? "Did I say anything," I asked. Selene shook her head no and said, "You were just screaming. Class starts in two hours. Want a cold bath?" I nodded and looked down at my arms. I felt confused and alone. I was confused and alone, but why? Selene went to start my bath and I wrapped my hands around myself.

I was all alone. I was terribly alone and the silence was deafening. Could I really live like this? I reached for Antonia and pricked my finger with the pen. I quickly wrote, "Why do I feel so alone? Why do I feel so scared?" I watched my blood sink into the book before Antonia replied. "You have probably just tapped into a Death Abettor memory. If you have done that or seen a spirit, do not fret. You have always been this way, Amira," she said.

I hid the book quickly and tried to think. Have I always been alone? "It's ready," Selene said. I looked up started and felt my previous train of thought leave me. "Thank you," I said as I walked past her and into the bathroom. I sank in the cold tub and pulled my legs to my chest. I needed to relax. I needed to let my mind go blank.

The only sound was the tub faucet dripping. The silence...was something I was getting used to. I didn't like it or hate it but the silence was always there. I took a deep breath before stepping out of the tub. I pulled on each layer of clothing and I each layer weighed a ton to me. I looked in the mirror and my tattoo was still on my back. When I stepped out of the bathroom, ready to go, Selene was pacing the room. "What's the matter," I asked.
