Mystique Well

Chapter 41: The Sooth

(Mayson's POV)

It's been a while since Kyle went in with his father and I don't feel right. Is there something more serious? Even though I consoled him all the way saying everything is fine, don't worry, but it is really strange why did he suddenly call him to the hospital?

Strange thoughts were arising in my mind when Kyle came in front of me panting and I was really scared seeing his condition. I did not have the courage to ask him what the matter was. I gently placed my hand on his shoulder and asked, "Kyle, wha-what happened?" After that, my heart was shattered after hearing what he said. "Kill me. I can't... can't take it." He said and started sobbing hysterically.

(One hour later)

Kyle, I and his father were sitting in the hospital cafeteria. After hearing about his mother, there was nothing left to say so there was a wave of silence between the three of us. Breaking this eerie silence, I said, "Even though I am no one to ask you this question, I am still asking, how did you get his personal contact number?"

His father smiled and said, "your big brother never changed his number."

I looked at Kyle and he said, "Six years ago, when grandma was terribly ill, I called dad but he refused to come to see her and within a month when she died, I again contacted him but he didn't picked up my call, so I had no option but to send him a message about grandma's death and after that I deleted his and mom's number." He paused for a moment and asked his father, "So you saved my number that time. Strange! Why though?"

"Why not? You are my son." He said dispiritedly.

"Your son! Where were you when your son needed you? Where were you when your son called you? Where were you when grandma was sick? You may hate me dad, but what about grandma? She was your mother! Why did you do this? Why did you both do this?" he shouted fiercely and slammed his hand on the table which startled both of us.

"Kyle calm down" I said and he sat back on the chair and said crying, "You did not even attend her funeral."

"I'm sorry Kyle." His father said, almost on the verge of crying.

"Do you have any better answer than sorry?" He asked.

"I didn't have the courage to stand up to you and my mother. I failed as a father, a son, and a husband. We failed as parents. We failed you Kyle, we failed you and your grandmother." He said and started sobbing silently and seeing this I too was unable to hold back my tears.

I cleared my throat and said, "Th-The past cannot be ch-changed, but the future can be...if we...if we focus on the present. Right now we must focus on Aun…I mean Mrs. Adams' health."

"You are right Mr Forbes. I don't want to repeat my mistake. The doctor said she needs a bone marrow transplant and we have to do it as soon as possible." His father said.

"Leave this on me and mom will no longer stay in this hospital. I will take her to the city we are living in and get her treated in the best cancer hospital there and you will also have to come with me, dad." Kyle said and his father nodded.

"Ummm... by the way Mr. Adams, don't call me Mr. Forbes, it's weird, I'm even younger than your son." I said and they both chuckled and then Kyle said, "Then you should call my mom and dad uncle and auntie too."

(Someone's POV)

Lying on the bed, I was humming a song, like every day. Like every day, I was thinking that what did I get from childhood till today? Did I get anything apart from hatred? My parents died, my only support was my brother but Maya and Monica took him away also from me.

With so much hope, Enzo and I had come to their house thinking that we will not feel the absence of our parents. Thinking that maybe they will give me love even if it is a little. But what did they give me?

Don't do this, don't touch that, don't go there, stay away from humans, don't talk back, behave yourself, you are turning evil, stop your nonsense, stay away from him... from her...

...aghhhhhhhhh. STOP.

Today, even after their death, their voices echo in my ears. They turned even my brother against me. He even started scolding me for every little things. Why did you do this uncle? Why did you do this aunty? Why Maya? Monica why? What was my mistake?

I used to do only a little mischief. I had only killed a few people. I agree that those people were innocent but was it such a big thing that Maya slapped me?  My parents were also innocent. They too were killed by humans without any reason. And Enzo, he too did not say anything to them! Why did he not slap her in return? Do those people hold so much importance for him? More than me? More than his sister?

If these people had not given me hatred, then today Maya and Monica's parents would have been alive. What could I do, I cannot give love in return of hatred. In return of hatred, hatred should be given, so I killed them. I killed both their parents. After all, you too should know what is the pain of losing parents.

By the way, my luck was in my favour in one thing. I trapped this Forbes family in this game in such a good way that even today that Maya feels that her parents were killed by them. True though. They killed them, I did nothing, just forced them to do so.

Mayson, thanks to you, if you had not come to play in the woods that day, then today I would not have been able to teach that Stewart family a lesson. Not only this, now I have also fallen in love with your younger brother Eric and he also loves me very much, even though I am Genevive for him, but I am getting love from him.

I love you Eric and I'm not going to let Genevieve take you away from me even if I have to turn you into a vampire.
