How Did it Happen?

A New Beginning

I knew that the women was my mom, but the man was a guess. He looked like my dad because I've seen pictures, but my mom is dead. I looked at them both in surprise, "Can you untie me?" They looked at me and grinned but before they could say a word one of the 3 other people untied me and brought me up to my feet. I felt so uncomfortable, "What's going on." They told me to sit down but I was too confused and mad to move. "You've both been alive this whole time and I've been feeling like crap for nothing!" "Christopher had to die!" I started pacing back and forth the anger in my voice was easy to notice. "You faked your own deaths yet Christopher's had to be real!" My dad grabbed me and spoke "For your own safety." "My own safety?" I said. "What do I need to be safe from?" My mom came up to me and touched my hand. It was nice to feel the warmth in her touch, I've missed her so much. "Christopher was one of many." she said gesturing for me to sit. "I know that." I said. "But you don't know the rest." Dad walked over to me, "The first of many coming for you." He whispered gently. I looked at him confused. "Thalia you are not ordinary, neither is your mother."
I got up and started walking towards the cart but one of the members stepped up in front so I couldn't leave. "We are the Society of the Sabertooth." "Christopher is part of The Society of the Devils Horn." I thought to myself that's why the spell to bring Christopher back didn't work. It wasn't meant to be used on a Demon it was meant to be used on a Sabertooth. Yet they let me go on with it. "You purposely let me find this place so I could kill him for you!" My dad saw my face turn red "Calm down Thal, there's more." I walked towards him "More?" "What could possibly change that you think will make me stay." I demanded. "We need you to save us." My mom said.
"Save, save you!" I screamed. "What happened in my time of grief, you both left me hear to rot, I thought you were both dead!" I screamed looking at both of them. "You left me. Why should I stay!" Then I started levitating. "What's happening to me!" I screamed. Then I felt pain in my mouth blood slowly dripping then it suddenly stopped. I felt my mouth and my canines were long. A Sabertooth. I had the vision, claws and teeth of a Sabertooth tiger. Then I dropped landing on all fours.
"Thal on your 11th year of being alive the transformation was supposed to happen but it came late." My mom shouted. I was so angry. I was going to turn into this thing, and I never knew. Then I thought. "Was what me and Christopher had fake?" "Did he save me on purpose?" I suddenly bursted into tears. My mom came over to hug me as if she knew why I was crying. "Thalia you are the chosen Saber, you need to help us and your mission is not simple." "You need to find the Devils horn and either make peace or war with them." sounded easy enough.
"But as you go you must be careful because there are many people trying to get you." My dad said. "But why?" I asked. Then I heard a voice behind me. "Because you are all powerful, and your abilities can be drained for evil." I turned around and my heart skipped a beat. Herbert Blouse was behind me wearing a robe and had the Sabertooth sign on his arm. "You killed my brother." I said to him but he just walked over to me with no intimidation. "Your brother had to die." he said. I was just about to punch him but before he could he grabbed my arm. "It was your parents decision." I ripped my arm quickly away from him and turned around to my parents. "Your brother was born a demon, this was the only way to protect our society."
I looked at them in disgust. "I will help you all." I said. "But society isn't more important than family." I said in anger. I looked around my face red, and my eyes narrowing down at every person one at a time. "I'm doing this for Michael." I said walking towards the door.
Before I left I turned around, "But I'm doing this my way." I left before anyone could say anything. In anger and frustration but finding all this out was hard. I walked through the mines and back through the hospital passageway. I put the tiles back and left. I walked down the street towards my home and entered through the door. As I walked in I saw a bunch of people, all with the same mark on their arms, but a snake. A man stepped forward "We need the Sabertooth."
Then it happened. I woke up in my bedroom. "Lucy time for breakfast!"
