Valerie's POV~

"Did you hear that?" I slapped my hand over Estefano's mouth.

His eyes went round and just gave a curt shrug. Everything around us was complete silence except coming from Ryan's room.

"My own mother has committed murder."

"Valerie what are you hearing?" Estefano mumbled over my hand.

My hearing caught every damned word from Ryan.

"It's just Ryan?" Estefano read my thoughts with a roll of his eyes.

"And you know what that means?" I swooshed my head back to glare into his eyes. "Trouble."

Without thinking twice, I walked up the stairs and headed towards Ryan's room. Whatever he was doing, I was about to get to the bottom of this. I took large steps jumping two at a time until I got to his door. From the other side I could hear him holding his breath and the soft murmur of someone's voice coming from somewhere withing the room. Esfefano walked up the stairs to get to my side as we just stood with our ears pressed against on Ryan's bedroom door. He knew we were there and he knew better not to speak. Time passed by until I decided it was time to confront my pathetic child. I slammed the door wide open only to find him under his covers in his bed.

"The boy is just sleeping." Estefano pointed it out.

"Oh that is what he wants you to think." I gritted my teeth together and stomped over to his bed. My shadow cast on his still self as my signature smirk decided it was a good time to spread over my lips. The damn child underestimated my capabilities. I loomed over him and yanked his blankets away from him.

"M-Mom!" He stuttered as he quickly jumped off the bed to be on the other side.

To be honest I was quiet astonished at his speed there. Truth is, anybody with fear find their need of speed to be their only option to do. Just when I was about to make him confess, a soft voice came from under his pillow. Our eyes met for an instant as we both looked back and forth at the pillow.

"I-I can explain..." Ryan's voice trembled.

"There is no need." I spoke in my softest voice and place a small smile on my face. "I understand you sweetie." I tilted my head slightly to stare at him in a different angle. "I know you well too good." My hand dashed to the pillow and tossed it to the side only to find his phone. "I know everything." I smirked and my eyes slowly went to the phone to and then to his eyes.

"Kid are you there? Hello?"

That voice....

A swallow got stuck on my throat as the familiar voice got my whole body to freeze.

"How the hell did you get Norman's number?!" I snapped.

"Who the hell is Norman?" Estefano frowned by the entrance.

"What the hell is going on?" Norman's distant voice sounded on the other side of the phone.

Ryan remained silent with his eyes wide open without daring to even blink.

"ANSWER YOU FUCKING CHILD HOW DID YOU GET NORMAN'S NUMBER?!" My voice boomed the whole room making it shake slightly.

At first I thought Ryan was talking to his little friend Sammy but never would I thought he had communications with Norman. Out of all the people, it was a rage he had his number while I couldn't even get nothing from Norman. Not even a damned real kiss. I slid the red symbol across the phone's screen and crumbled in my fist like it was a piece of paper. Both Estefano and Ryan eyed me in surprise as I without effort turned the phone into tiny pieces.

"Dang woman...." Estefano gawked. "You got mighty fine strength there."

"Shut it fool." I glared to Estefano and scattered the small pieces to the floor. "Why were you calling him?" I strode over to Ryan.

He jumped back in his bed and ran to the other side to avoid me at all cost. I was fed up with his little games so I stretched out a hand and made him come to me. He flew across the room until he got straight to my hand. My hand fisted, latching onto his shirt's collar and pulling him slightly up making his feet hover ove the ground. Even so I was revealing exposing myself too much by using my powers, I had no choice but to do anything to have under my control.

"How did you do that?" Ryan's voice only came out as a mere whisper.

"The one asking questions here is me." I gritted my teeth together. "Now tell me how you got his number. Or better yet tell me why were you talking to him?!" I told him in a bite tone.

His eyes started to slightly water and his body shook under my hold. I clearly heard him mentioning his mother committing murder. My mind flashed to the day I was suppose to have the trial with Norman in the court.

I only did it for justice!

"You killed a man." Ryan stared into my eyes and his voice rasped.

"What?" Estefano's face went pale as he still stood there by the entrance of the room.

"I. Did. No. Such. Thing." I denied and forced a grin.

"Valerie what is he talking about?" Estefano eyed me.

"Go ahead mom." Ryan challenged me. "Deny that you killed a judge."

"A judge? I have no clue what you are talking about?" I hid my nervousness with a laugh.

"No? Then explain to me what you have to do with Norman?" Ryan gritted his teeth.

I felt like a was cornered with my son's questions. The only way to keep both Estefano and Ryan to shut their silence is to only tell them the truth. The only way for them to be in my side is to finally reveal myself.

"Norman...." I took a heavy sigh. "Wants to kill me."

I lied.

Just for my sake.

"Why?!" Both Estefano and Ryan blurted out in shock confusion.

"Why would a police officer want to kill you?" Ryan asked.

"Because...." I slowly looked up to stare into his eyes and releasing his shirt's collar from my grasp. "I'm a vampire."
