| UNFADING LUST | Wilhemina Venable

CH.13 PROMISE ME

I woke up the next day to Mina staring at me, "creepy" I pulled the blankets up over my head, she laughed pull it back down, "good morning Ms. spider" I joked, "good morning Violet latte" She chuckled, "what kind of a nickname is that", "I'm getting creative".

A knock was heard from the door, "Ms. Venable breakfast is ready" that was the maid, "I'll be down later" Mina said loudly.

"what should I do?" I started to panic, "hon, there's nothing to be worried about, you will down with me and have our breakfast" she talked to me like she's talking to a dumb child, "mhm mommy" I grinned, "mommy?" She raise her brow, "I'm getting creative" I smirked at her, could tell she's blushing, "ma'am you're blushing", "No I'm not now get up get change and we'll go down" she pulled my hand and we got dressed, she handed me her purple dress which look like something a 15 years old would wear to get a burger from Starbuck, it's not ugly it's I don't know it's something.

"Careful" she grabbed my hand, I almost fall off the stairs, "WHAT THE VIOLET HOW WHAT WHY ARE YOU HERE? I MEAN WHEN DID YOU CAME??" Adrea just came in, she looked like she've been shaking her ass off the whole night, "last night" I blushed remembering what Mina said to me, "who brought you here or you teleport" Adrea hold her laugh, seeing Mina's hold my hands. "I ride your sister here" I thought this sounded so wrong, "ohhh I can see that anyway hope she treat you well as I did all along" she started singing, Mina rolled her eyes, "go and get change or I'll tell mom" Adrea widen her eyes at Mina, "now" she said, Adrea went to her.

No one was at the table, "where's everyone?" Wilhemina asked the maid, "They all went out but they didn't mention where exactly, Ms.Venable" she said.

We are now in the living room, Mina's reading her book, I'm watching the television.

A news came up, "A headless body was found behind a restaurant" I took a look closely at the restaurant and it was where we were at last night, "Hon, is this where we were last night?" I turned to Mina, she look at the screen "yea it is".

"The head was nowhere to be found" they added, "what the fuck that's naughty as fuck", "yea turn it off let's go for walk shall we?" She closed her book and hold out her hand for me, I nods smiling like a love sick puppy.

We walked around the house to the graveyard, "you're so romantic bringing me to the graveyard, I love it" I don't know if I'm joking or I actually do love it, "get use to it, we will be here mor often. I love it here" we sat on a bench, "aren't you going back home?" She asked, "I'm home, here with you" I put my head on her shoulder, I could feel she's smiling.

"I love you Violet" she said staring at the gloomy sky, darkness always comforts me.

"I love you Wilhemina" I placed my hand on her thigh.

At lunch she brought me back to my house and I asked her if she wanted to join us for lunch but she said she  has a meeting to attend, so she left.

"There you are" my mom, my dad and both of my sibling sitting on the couch in the living looking like they haven't rest at all, "hey" I don't know what to do or even say, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN WE'VE BEEN CALLING YOU WHERE'S YOUR PHONE!?" Dad yelled at me, "I'm sorry I didn't bring my phone with me last night, I was at a friend's" I need Mina, "A FRIEND, A FUCKING VAMPIRE YOU MEAN??" Mom stood up, "what are you talking about" I laugh feeling the panic rushing in my veins, "we know about your friend, Adreana Venable. THE VENABLE" "are you kidding me Violet" "haven't you learned about them???!" Mom came straight to me, slapped me hard I hit my face with the stair, "THEY ARE VAMPIRES FOR FUCK SAKE VIOLET" she kept yelling at me, yeah a vampire that gave me love which non of you in this family had shown me.

"Yeah and what you gonna do about that??" I faced her, she slapped me again this time blood dripped down my nose.

"Don't you ever asked for permission to go out again cos you won't get any" she grabbed my shoulders digging her nails into it, "what you gonna do huh? Lock me up?? Or kill me?" I stared at her before running to my room.

I locked the door, open my closet. I couldn't find my pills but instead I found Xanax under one of my sweaters, I took it, a lot.

I just wanted to rest, I'm tired. I accidentally overdose.
I laid down on my bed, tears flowing down my cheeks, I need you Mina, I need you now. My eyes are shutting down, heartbeats went slower and slower until I couldn't feel it anymore.

I'm sorry Wilhemina...
