Unholy Curse

II

December 1982

This morning was as normal as any morning. River woke up, ate his vegan breakfast, and did a mini work out to burn calories. He went outside to enjoy his tea when he saw something disturbing. His father drinking the blood of a young girl. Not just any girl... Kelly Folges. The girl he'd been hanging out with for over two years. She'd used him for sex even though he was tweleve and she was sixteen. She was the towns biggest whore and everyone knew she hung out with River. River slid back inside, pretending he hadn't seen it but it botherd him all day. Up until his mother took Rain to a friends house and Joaquin was out and about did he get to question his dad about what he saw this morning. "Hey, dad? Can I talk to you?" River asked. Once out in the back yard River's hands quaked as he turned to the man he called his dad. "I saw you kill Kelly Folges." River gulps. "And drink her blood." His dad gives a smirk. "Your to young to know the truth, River." "That your a murderer! I'm not stupid for a twelve year old!" River snaps. "Kid you have no idea what your diving into. Stay outta it!" His dad snaps. River punches him in the face, completely shattering his hand. "Ow!" River cries out in pain. "Don't try to hit me again. The next time you do, you'll have another shattered hand and be six feet in the earth." His dad advises him. "You don't tell me what to do, you monster!" River snaps. "You do as I say or you'll end up like Miss Folges. Six feet under." His dad huffs. "Fine!" River groans with pain. "What are you?" "What do you think, boy." "A vampire." River whispered. His dad nods, yes. "We mine as well take ya to the hospital. I'll tell them you hit the table by accident." River gives his dad a glare. "Whatever." River huffs.
Later that night; Supper:
River sat down to eat when he realized both his parents weren't at the table. "Where's mom and dad?" He asks. "Right here, why? River their sitting were they normally sit. Right in front of us." Joaquin says. River looked at their empty seats. "Yeah sorry I wasn't paying attieion." River fake shrugs. He starts to eat only to realize he was eating meat. And he was Vegan. With him nearly barfing, the voice of his mother whispered in his head. You have to eat it in order to survive. River kept eating and pretended nothing happened.
