My Horrible New Life

Chapter 3: Goodbye Mother

A few days passed, Danny and I were getting along. I wasnt scared of him. He was nice to me. He made me laugh and smile. He told me some things about himself. He didn't go into detail. He said I couldn't know everything about him. I wondered why he could only come at night? He wouldn't tell me that either. Every night before Danny left, he would kiss my cheek or forehead. I thought it was kinda cute. But I liked having a friend. Plus didn't have to worry about someone coming in and seeing him. He was careful about this. He left a little bit ago. I went to sleep for a few hours. I woke up to banging and smashing noises. "You can't do this to me!" My mom cried.

"Shut the fuck up! Leave!" Adan shouted.

"This is my house!"

"Bitch get out the door!"

"NO!"

I thought it was another fight about the money or running out of drugs. She never gave money to anyone. Not even me. She was a greedy person.

The door slammed. I grew nervous. Someone was banging and screaming on the front door. My bedroom door slammed open. Adan stood there. He looked at me, not in a way I liked either. He raced over to grab me. I got up and tried to run. He caught my ankle as my face hit the floor. Adan pulled me away from the doorway and threw me onto the floor. "Give me the money!" Looking at his eyes, he was really out of it.

"I don't know where it is!" It was the truth. I never knew where it was. Adan slapped me hard across the face. He held a knife up to my throat. He was tugging my shirt. I tried pushing him away. He pressed the knife closer to me. "Last time bitch. Where is the money?!" He roared.

I told him I didn't know. Something caught my eye behind Adan's head. Danny stood there in his monster form. Adan turned around and freaked. "What the fuck is that thing?" Danny pulled him off of me and took him out of my room. I ran into the hallway. I didn't get very far. Danny stood by my door with blood on him. "Where's your bathroom?" I pointed left. He went down there. I quickly got dressed. Danny came back. He looked at the window. He dropped to his knees. "Close the blinds." He hissed a bit. I did as he asked. He stood up. "The sun weakens me. I'll lay on the ground and die in the sun if my body isn't completely covered. Your lucky your window has shade around it right now." I didn't know what to do. Give him a hug and thank him? Or freak out because I knew he killed Adan. I ran over and gave him a hug. "Thank you Danny. You saved me." He smiled. I looked at him. I had a few tears fall from my eyes. He wiped them away. "You can't leave this room."

I stared at him. "Why?"

"There's blood all over the place. I got messy." I nodded slowly. I wasn't upset that he killed him.

"What about my mom?" He didn't speak. I got angry. "Where's my mom?"

"She's dead. I killed her."

I went over to the window. I looked by the front door. There was body parts and blood everywhere. We had a forest going to the front door. Mom's body parts wouldn't be seen by the neighbors unless they came into our yard. I looked at Danny. Fear took over me. I dashed and hid under the covers. My body laid there, crying. I felt claws on the covers. "Are you scared?" His voice sounded soft but alert. He pulled the covers off of me. He made me turn over to face him. He was a monster again. I flipped. "Don't kill me! Please!"

I was crying more. He quickly changed back. He grabbed me and hugged me close. "I'm sorry. I forgot I was like that. I'm so used to being in that form." I stopped crying. He looked down at me. He wiped my tears away. "I'm not going to hurt you." I was breathing slowly. "I wouldn't do that to you. I did it to them to save you." He rubbed my back gently to calm me down more. He kissed my cheek. "At night, were leaving. Pack your things. Okay?" I slowly nodded. He let me go. He got up and went over to the door. I quickly got off the bed and ran over to him. I grabbed his hands. "Wait!" He quickly shut the door. He looked down at me. "Yes Sammy?"

"How old are you?"

He raised his eyebrow. "I was just curious." He hesitated. But he let his shoulders drop. "608 years old. But in your little world, I'm only 21." He picked me up and took me over to my bed. He set me down next to it. He was strong. He could easily crush me in seconds. This is what also made me scared. He looked down at me. "Stay. Don't start packing until this door closes. Okay?" I nodded again. He pulled me closer to him. I tensed up. His hands ran across my lower back. "Stop being so afraid of me. I am human too." He kissed my forehead. I tried to relax but I was just frightened. He gave up and walked out. He shut the door behind him. I quickly started packing.

Night fall hit. Danny wouldn't let me come out. I looked out the window. There were girls walking down the street, laughing and drinking. They were just lucky that they didn't see mom's dead cut up body. Danny had to clean that up first before anyone saw. I heard him come in. I felt him wrapping his arms around my waist. He held me up close to his body. I breathed deeply. He looked down at me. "Are you scared?" I shook my head. I wasn't. Not at the moment at least. I was trusting him. Which was dangerous. He could kill me in a split second. But my question was, why was he acting like this? Because I promised him I would belong to him? And if I didn't he would have eaten me? I didn't know. I thought it was because he was trying to get me to stop worrying. He gently touched my cheek. "Sammy," He turned me around to face him. "Watch." He changed into a different kind of monster. He was blue and he still had red eyes. His tongue was hanging out, a human tongue. His tail was like a skinny rope with a leaf at the end. His ears looked like elf ears. I gulped a little. My body backed up against the window. "Don't hurt me. Please."

He placed his hand on my cheek. "I'm not going to." He changed back. I looked into his red eyes. He stared into mine. I didn't really know what to do. My heart was beating fast. Still nervous and afraid. Every time he changed, I thought that this would be it. I was going to die now. He picked me and and held me against the window. My heart began to beat faster. I was getting nervous. My hands on his chest, ready to push him away if need be. He bent down and kissed me.

I didn't push him away. I let him. It was different than when Adan forced me to kiss him. Danny was different by a lot of course. But I tried to enjoy it while it lasted. He stopped and set me down back on the ground. "I'm sorry." He spoke up. He wanted to walk away but I pulled him back. His eyes were studying me. I could hear my heart beating in my ears. "Please don't go." I asked.

I looked behind him. I thought I saw Adan's body coming after me. Danny turned into his monster form. I screamed and ran into the bathroom. He push the door off the wall. He grabbed me and brought me back into my room. I was terrified and wanted to hide. He wasn't going to let me.
