The Hybrid

Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Just as the dagger flew past in between their heads, they both turned around. Two pairs of wide crimson eyes found mine, shock and surprise flashed in both of their eyes along with something else. Perhaps fear?

"What're you going to do.....kill both of us?" asked Henry annoyed glaring at me.

I began walking towards them  "yea, that's what im gonna do", after saying it I threw the other silver dagger at Henry. I aimed at his head, he dodged it but late at it grazed his cheek. Crimson red oozed out of his wound as he wiped it and looked at his blood in shock and disbelief.

"You bitch" he spat out, in his scarlet eyes flashed with anger while his hands curled into fists and his body visibly tensed. He ran towards me, getting his arm ready to hit me. I saw it coming and caught his hand in my grip. He tried to hit me with his other hand while I still held his first hand, but was sloppy, it looked like it wasn't his dominant hand. I caught the other one too. Once I had a good grip on both of them, I sent a powerful kick into his chest. I heard the sickening crack of bones and ligaments tearing right before he flew halfway across the room.

Not waiting for him to fall to the ground I turned my attention to my mother. Her wide eyes met mine and she closed her mouth that was hanging open. Her shock shifted into determination, a smirk appeared on her face.

"I'm going to enjoy this," she said right before she began to run towards me. Through the growling and chaos that was around me, I heard quick footsteps nearing as they got louder. Quickly turning my head, Henry was on his feet making his way to me. In my distraction, searing pain erupted in my chest as my mother kicked me and I found myself flying few meters away. Quickly getting to my feet I watched as my mother took Henry's hand and guided him towards the door.

"COWARDS" I screamed at them "finish this...NOW" I demanded while got to my feet. They both stopped in their tracks.

"Henry you must go" I heard her say to him urgently. Pang of pain surge through my heart when I saw the way she looked at him. It was the same way she used to look at me. Pure care and admiration.

She looked away from him, her eyes roamed over the room, assessing the situation "go" she urged him once she turned her attention back to him.

I looked around as well. Dead bodies were scattered all over the floor, laying in their pools of blood. Sam and the guys were fighting off a few of the last remaining vampires alive.

When I turned my head back towards her, she was staring me down, the care and love in her gaze she held towards Henry were gone filled with utter anger and hatred. "You call me a coward?" she spat out as she took a few steps towards me.

"Stop trying to run and finish this" I spat out with the same venom she used towards me.

"You're right, we should finish this," she said with a lighter voice "but let get something clear...I'm not a coward. Because of your father and YOU, I left behind my life. Your father brainwashed me, thinking he loved me, but my true love waited for me here in this mansion. He's dead, so don't call me a coward for going back to my true family." Her venom was back at the last sentence.

As I listened to her, I wondered if that's how she felt the whole time about me and my father. When memories of my childhood flashed in my mind I couldn't remember anything less than love towards me and dad. I couldn't understand how could she change like this. Perhaps, Henry was the one who brainwashed her.

"Thanks for the clarification," I said with a steely voice, as I glared at her and sorrow filled my core. She was still my mother despite the fact she hated me with passion and wanted me dead.
