Chapter 12: "And we meet again"

The screams got louder as I tried to calm myself down. My first thought was Lydia but I quickly knew it wasn't her when there was multiple screams I was hearing. I closed my eyes and tried to channel all of the anger i've had, trying to see if that's why my eyes were changing. They were still glowing. One was blue and the other was red, I didn't think I killed the men I was fighting moments before, so what was it?

I then got too caught in my thoughts and didn't even pay any attention to the new noises I was hearing. The screams were now faint, but my eyes were still red and blue. I decided to get out of my car and see what I was hearing. Once I got out a figure appeared in front of me, a familiar face I had been dreading to see. I felt stuck, as if I couldn't move, like I was in quick sand and couldn't get out.

"And we meet again, my dearest daughter, Athena." The tall woman in front of me spoke.

'Mom.' That's all I managed to get out. What does one say to their mother after not seeing them for years on years?

"That's all? Not a "So nice to see you" or maybe even a "Hey"?" She shook her head and rolled her eyes, looking at me as if I did something so wrong. I wasn't the same little girl she remembers me as. I'm not the 9 year old who lets everyone step on her still.

'Sorry, I was just worried that if I say too much you'll send me across the country again.' I said, looking up at her. I could tell my eyes were now normal because she looked at me like she didn't notice anything odd.

"I have messed up in the past, and I am very aware of that, But even with all that being said, I am still your mother and you will respect me, whether you want to or not." She demanded as she grabbed onto my arm, trying to drag me somewhere. I yanked my arm back and looked at her like she was crazy.

'First off, don't touch me. Second off, after you sent me to California because you were convinced I was crazy and after you tried to send your stupid new pack members after me, I don't owe you any respect.' I gave her a fake smile and she gave me the angry mother look.

"I can touch you, you're my daughter, and I only sent them after you to see if you were worthy of fighting for yourself, and you're clearly still alive, so what does it matter?" She sat herself up against my car and crossed her arms.

'And if I wasn't? You sent your pack to kill me, and then you come to the town I have lived in for years on my own and ask for respect? You really are just as bad as dad was' I knew that would tick her off. She never wanted to be like him and she always said she was better. She loved him and stayed with him but she "never supported what he did to us".

"And as for the daughter and touching part, just because you're her parent doesn't give you the right to lay a finger on her, especially not after the hell you've put her through." A voice from behind me spoke. I turned around and to my surprise, it was Isaac. Was he coming to tell me something? Did he see my mom? I didn't even know, I was too focused on making sure my mom didn't do any sneaky moves to try and hurt him.

"Ah, classic, always having to have someone speak up for you and defend you, see you later at home "honey", i'm making dinner and you better be there." She said before leaving in a flash. I then turned around and looked at Isaac as he walked closer to me.

"I don't know what to say to you, Athena. I was coming here to make sure you know that I am not mad at you in the slightest, I honestly should've been quiet when you were doing that to Erica. I can tell you've been stressed today, so I completely understand if you don't want to listen to me right now." Isaac sighed and it sounded like relief, like he's been wanting to say that.

'Those are honestly the only words i've actually wanted to hear today.' I smiled and he walked closer to me and pulled me into a hug. I felt like I had just melted in his arms, I finally felt calm for the first time today.
