THE CURSED QUEEN

CHAPTER FIVE

(not edited enough)

“ Where have you been, young lady?” mom asks as soon as I get to the living room. She looks so worried, but is she truly my mom? How did they find me? What about my real parents? How did my memory wipe?

“ I am talking to you Melanie.” she snaps.

“ Are you my real mom?” I ask, shocking the living daylights out of her. At that time dad, and Julian walks down the stairs.

“ Are you my real mom?” I ask again.

“ What are you saying Melanie?” mom asks. So it's true her expression says it all, she isn't my real mom.

“ So it's true,” my hand automatically goes to my mouth as tears make their way down my eyes. The way dad, and Julian are looking at me I knew they all knew.

“ You knew, you all knew.” I sob.

“ Melanie, let me explain” Julian says, stepping forward.

“ No, I don't want to listen. How could you keep that from me? How?” I cry so loud, and run out of the house. It is raining cats, and dogs, but I don't care.

I can't believe this, it's not possible all my life was a lie. My family isn't mine.

The rain falls heavily on my skin soaking me from head to toe still I don't care. Walking on the empty dark street kicking pebbles as I think about everything.

I still find it hard to believe. My parents, who are they? They left me and didn't care about me. Send me away because I'm weak. I boil in rage as anger consumes me. I am so angry, how could they?

“HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO ME?” I yell so loud, and fall to the ground in pain. What is happening to me? My hands looked strange; they grew longer and hairy, looking like that of an animal.

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

I scream in pure agony as pain drives through me like a thunderstorm. I hear bones cracking, I could feel hairs growing all over my body. It's excruciating. What is happening to me?

Warm embrace. I feel tight arms around me, the pain subsides, and in a twinkle of an eye I am normal again only that I am a crying mess. I struggle to breathe, and when I finally can I look up to see Bion staring at me smiling.

“What just happened?” I ask in daze.

“ You almost had your first shift,” he simply said. I am a bit confused. I thought I was just a vampire and witch or maybe I am more.

“ Shift?”I ask to clear my doubt.

“ I think you are a tribrid. A witch, wolf, and vampire.” he says.

“ How?” my head is spinning.

“ I don't think you should go home. Come with me please I need to watch over you.”  he pleads.

“ I leave after school.” I say strictly.

“ Deal?” I ask, bringing my hand forward for a shake.

“ Yes, deal.” he shakes my hand pulling me into a hug. I sigh, and hug him back.

I feel my insides turn to jelly. Jesus christ he feels so good.

“ Let's go.” he says after a while.

I follow him to his car, and he drives us back to his house.

“ Oh hey Bion.” Origen says grinning widely as he stuffs loads of popcorn into his mouth. I walk into the house fully. Macho and Tios are both playing video games.
