The Sorrow Gates

Chapter 8- The wanted the missing and the dead

          I was broken inside. Not because of the guys that I just randomly fall in love with. But because of the fact that maybe love at first sight was real. I wanted to believe every part of me with Andrew, but they were just feelings and I knew if I kept my distance nothing would happen and the feelings would just fade away.

Sitting in the cage in despair, deciding that love really ruins your life. But the problem was I didn't really know what love was, and I'm hoping that something will happen for me to change my mind. Sitting and staring at the cage bars, knowing that I could easily leave but I was to angry with myself and pleased with the fact that they gave me a five star cage, blood on the floor and hay like I am some sort of animal.

"I want to thank you... I barely know you but I have a feeling that we are going to be very good friends." he says to me.

"Your welcome." I say bluntly. I was staring at his body knowing that this is wrong, I was supposed to be with Nate but instead I am with the man that I am supposedly to be destined a future with. I wanted every part of him, to hug me, to praise me, even to kiss the soul that I was given from an angel. But instead I was bitter, I was doing what the other half of my head was telling me to do.

I threw myself up staring at the guard looking at me tilting my head at him. I sigh, "My queen please sir." He nods and heads away to go get the queen from her lair.

"What is it?!" She says aggressively,

I stare at her smirking. I take her scent in as she is so close to the cage. I pull her against the cage and choke her and throw her against the wall.

Screams and guards swirl around the cage. I sit against the wall and smirking and staring at my perfect nails that look almost plastic.

"GUARDS! This woman is going to be executed if she ever touches me again! GOT IT?" She says pulling hair away from her face. She tumbles and heads toward the cage.

"Ahh no no no, Don't wanna do that know do you?" I say to her smiling.

She tumbles away with a frown on her face. "If you so dare touch me ever again I will execute you and feed your desirable and pitiful blood to the entire town! There is others like me out there and they will finely do the job while you are just getting on my nerves! One more time. JUST ONE! And you will die."

She turns and stumbles away.

"As only I wish to give my kindest remarks my queen but you find no one like me, You may find me in the next life but not this one. You may feed my blood to the town but its much better to know they will like it more than you because of all your riches. Rich ones like you shouldn't live, you have no respect or meaning. Although I have no respect and it wont even affect me if I snap your neck right know at this moment." I smile, and she knows that I have won once again. She walks away angry that she lost.

Andrew looks at me surprised that I just did what I did. " You just told the queen off and she's the queen?!" He says surprised

"Yea I guess I did." I say to him.

I open the cage and we run out. "Listen Andrew I don't plan staying this way, I like this life but even though I didn't have one at home I want to go back to human world even if I am like this. I am since there is so much technology in town I could fit in cause no one would notice me." I say to him

"Luna its not my decision for what you do, I like being here, even if I am in a cage but I like this life. Mine was so raged and busy and I like the calmness around here." Andrew says to me.

"Stay then, I shall see you in another life." I say to him my eyes wandering up and down and all around.

"Goodbye, my failed to be queen, you are quite beautiful it is a shame and you will always have a home here. Well the queen probably will kill you but whatever there will probably be a new one by then." We laugh and joke around for a while, It reminds me of having human feelings where I wasn't always just so angry and happy like I am in vampire mode but to feel laughter and joy, and that's when I knew Nate wouldn't let go of me, he wouldn't let me leave just like that. He loved me with all his wonderful heart. But I didn't love him back. I walked back to the cabin where I would confront him.

I walk into the house as it creeks and crumbles. "Nate! Nate where are you I have something important to tell yo..." I looked out the window. There he was. So peacefully, Hands in his pockets at my mothers grave, knowing that this was all wrong. A huge triangle of love appeared in my mind.

Nate >loving my mom> and her loving a weird man> and me loving Nate.

It was a messed up triangle that the puzzle was so hard and shattered that it would take an eternity to fix. I ran outside and confronted him. "Nate? are u okay?" I said as he turned around

"I'm fine I just cant believe what has happened so far." He looks sad staring at the ground. I caress him with the palm of my hand on his soft face, I stare at him with my big puppie eyes, we stared and he pushed his lips against mine, brushing so softly, I wanted to kiss him for a while. He pushed against me and I shoved him away.

"Nate -Catching my breath- I love you, I didn't at first.. sorry. I lied but I really do know. There is just one problem. I don't want to stay here anymore. -I say looking at the ground- from the bottom of my heart I love you so much and I will ask you to come with me and start over new. But there is nothing that I can do or even you for the matter if you stay here and sob about this forever" I say staring into his eyes, through his cold and broken soul he stares back at mine.

"If there is one thing that I cant do its to not be without you and your beautiful soul. Your love crashes into mine, but my heart wont heal, nor will it try again with anybody else. So all I can say is that I will go with you and I will love you and I wont stop because this time I wont fail you. I wont. -he says shedding a tear-"  I wipe it away, and we take our stuff and move beyond back to the town that I used to perish and cry in, we laughed and cried, we bought a house and even adopted when I was about 30 years old for my soul but still my high school self as my body. I even drove by my fake dads house and left him a letter about how I still loved him and told him that if he stopped drinking ill come back to him some day. But that will never happen knowing him.

If there is one thing I knew that one quote from a while ago  had meaning and story behind all of it, "She really has become one and behind Sorrow Gates remains only the wanted, the missing, and the dead."

Thanks for reading hope u enjoyed :).
