Unknown Darkness Chapter 7-Mother

Chapter 7- Mother

(Stephs P.O.V)

"Mother I'm sorry! I did not mean to let the boy get away! Please forgive me!"  I look into the cruel eyes of my coven mother, her ruby red lips curled up in a smirk.

"Why should I daughter? You let your older sisters newly turned mate walk away with a demon. Now tell me one reason why I should not kill you?"

"Because I am forever by your side mother, please give me another chance? Please..."

"Fine! But this is your last chance the next time my daughter... I WILL kill you! Now go get out of my sight."  I walk away from my mother's throne and watch her red eyes staring after me as I leave her kingdom.

The bright lights of my dorm room shined in my eyes as I woke up to people chanting fight down the hall. I quickly fly out of my bed and run down the hall. Pushing through smelly teenagers who seem like they haven't washed in weeks I run out into a circle where I see Jessie and a jock from another school fighting and it seems Jessie is winning.

"Jessie! What the gracious are you doing!?!" I truly had a soft spot for this girl, and I can't exactly tell why but I do. I see her look at me with a big gash across her cheek and blood dripping down her neck.

"This ass hole cut me!" She says punching him in the face. I looked at the jock on the ground, his nose was definitely broken, his eye was swollen and black and his cheek was red.

"Jessie come on before you get in trouble! Hurry up!" She punches the boy one last time in the face knocking him out cold and gets up and hurries towards me with her broken leg. I take her into my arms and I hold her as she limps back to our room.

"So much for classes today huh?" She says laughing.

"I guess girly, you have to be more careful, if one of the nuns hear word that it was you who was in a fight you could get kicked out, or worse get wacked; that hurts the most."

"Steph, I just got cut with a pocket knife across my cheek? Do you really think a whack from a nun will kill me?"

"Good point." We say laughing together. I never had a friend I could talk with or even laugh with, my life had always revolved around my coven mother... maybe for the first time in 100 years, I truly made a friend that I would take care of no matter what... maybe...

(Masons P.O.V)

I wake up to complete darkness; there is no sound but the drip of the water falling through a hole in the moist ceiling. Lighting the candle by my bed side I take out my MAN Journal, I'm not a sissy because it's a MAN Journal.

I open it up and write:

 *Day 5 in the shit hole cave*

  I had a dream of my mom and dad again, how was it so easy to kill them? Their faces are always covered in blood, I still hear my father's screams... some nights I wish to end it all, it would be so much simpler then living with all this pain. Apollo says that when life gets tough you just have to live with it, but how can I? He says good things will come my way, he knows I have a good heart, that's why he saved me. But what did he save me from?

With a sigh I shut my journal, correction MAN Journal, and I slide it into my boxer drawer in my dresser. I haven't left my room in a few days and I'm getting this awful pain in my throat, Apollo said it would happen if I didn't drink blood, but how I can I after what I did to my parents? Feeling a sharp pain shoot through the back of my neck I fall to the ground and look towards Apollo.

"What the hell are you doing?" I say hearing my own voice for the first time in days. It sounds raspy and dry.

"Making you feed, I didn't save you just to let you starve yourself to death." I see him walking towards me with a bag of blood.

"What's that?"

"It's some blood from the blood bank."

"You could have asked me to drink it you didn't have to make my entire body go numb god damn-it!"

"I know, but it got some pent up anger towards you out of my system. Now you don't have to worry about me killing you in your sleep." He cut a hole in the corner of the blood bag and puts it into my mouth. The crimson red liquid pours down the back of my throat and fills my body with energy. My throat feels as if it never hurt and I start to get feeling back into my body.

"You see what happens if you don't feed mason? You will die if you do not. You are full of power that many people want, you will not understand yet but soon you will find out. In the mean time I would love it if you didn't die. Thank you." I watch him leave my room as I slowly lift my body up and spread out across my bed. I have so many questions I want to ask him. What powers is he talking about, what is so special about me?
