The Darkness Engagement

One Rose Dies and Another Grows After

"What the hell?" I kept saying. This marking on my arm really freaked me out, then the fact that I just had sex with someone I just started talking to yesterday? And then I promised myself that I wouldn't do anything with him? What have I just done? I sat there thinking, just contemplating everything. "What was I suppose to do? Just reject him?" Then I had second thoughts. "Or reject myself?" I do admit that when I laid in the same bed as him, I just got the burning urge to have sex anyways, but never have I felt that before. 

I drove back home with all of tonight's events stuck in my mind. What was I suppose to tell Mom if she saw my arm? That was one thing I was worried about. I looked back to see if I could find my purple and black All Time Low hoodie. It was laying on the cold, carpeted floor of my car, and it smelled like Kayla only because I let her wear it all the time. "I'd rather smell like my best friend than a sex whore." I laughed at my small joke when I said it. I drove into the driveway and got out as quickly as possible. It was almost 10, so I really needed to get in bed. I opened the front door and found Chas on the Xbox, which was unusual at this hour. Usually Mom would be home yelling at her for staying up so late if she found Chas doing this. "Where's Mom?" I said worried. "She called the house and said she was staying at work late. She never told me why." She giggled seeing something she did on the game, and just went back to playing Minecraft. I shook my head and walked upstairs and automatically changed into my pajamas. I was really tired as it was. I mean, I did just have sex, so why wouldn't I? I fell asleep easily tonight, and I wasn't worried about Chas getting in trouble at this point. *I saw myself running in the city lights, but I took the form of black fur and four paws with a muzzle. I ran around and it felt like the city lights blinded me. I wasn't looking for light, but darkness instead. I looked back to see three black figures chasing me with fire, and I was trying to escape as fast as I could. As I ran, each wall I passed spoke a story. It spoke a story of the shifting into wolves and humans, but the history of how it came into the world, but every picture contained dark magic in it. I tried to keep from looking at it, but my gold eyes were attracted to it. It felt like it all was a piece of me, and then I heard a scream.* I woke up and heard Chas screaming downstairs. I fell out of bed and ran downstairs to see if she was in trouble, but what I saw I only had the same reaction to. Mom.. sh..she had blood running down her mouth, her chest, her whole body. What has she done? All I see is a murder scene on her body. She looked possessed of some kind, and she walked through the house like she couldn't see us. She ended up walking to her room though with a slammed door in return. I ran to Chas and held her face close to mine. "Chas.. Chas!" I tried pulling her out of the shock she was blocked into. "Chas. Look at me. You're fine. Mom is fine. C'mon, snap out of it!" I tried doing what I could to comfort her and get her out of shock, but she just wouldn't budge. I then picked her up and walked her up to her room, but I gave her half of a sleeping pill because I knew she wouldn't fall asleep on her own tonight. I closed her door after getting her in bed and taking care of her. I was trying to decide if I should go check on Mom, but I was in slight shock by seeing the creature Mom was when she walked in the door. I was too scared to go look, so I just hoped for the best  I walked back into my room closing the door behind me. I scrunched myself up in bed and tried falling asleep, but I couldn't even if I tried. All I could think about was the possible scenarios Mom had killed somebody with, but what confused me was why was all the blood dripping from her mouth like she ate them? "How much more shit must go on until I figure out what's going on with me and my life?" 

I sat there for hours on end asking question after question, but before I knew it, my alarm went off. The whole night the house was complete silence the whole night. I was scared to leave Chas here with Mom, so I woke her up to get ready. "Hey, Chas, I'm taking you to school today." She groaned in response and was slow at getting up, but she got up and started getting ready. I went into the bathroom to get all my things done before walking downstairs, but I added a specific activity to add onto my daily morning routine this morning. I closed the door and opened up the cabinet door under the cold sink and pulled a tester out of a box. "I hope this really isn't true." You're probably wondering what it was I was doing? Well, only girls are able to do this, and, last night required me to start doing this. I did what I needed to, and I waited a good five seconds to see what my results were. "I know for a fact that I'm something I don't wanna be right now." I saw one line appear, but not a second. "Wait.. what?" I tried another and got the same result. "But this makes no sense." I threw them both away and hid them under the trash already in the trashcan, and I calmly walked out of the bathroom to find Chas ready to go to school. "Well, you're fast." I smiled at her for it. She nodded and walked down the stairs to go eat breakfast. I followed behind her after getting my things out of my room.
