Luna, A shape shifter's tale, Mysterious happenings (Book 2)

Chapter 18

"So how is he doing?" Thomas asked with a bit of worry in his voice as he caught me in the hall way as I left the living room. "He seems ok, still a bit paler than usual, but he's ok. He also hasn't woken up yet either." I replied. 

  "Oh ok," Thomas replied a bit disappointed. "Why did you want to know?" I replied. 

   "Well Astrine, I wanted to know because mother just called and wanted to know how he was doing." Thomas replied.

    "Is that so? What's mom doing calling us from Romania, and how does she know that Vlad's hurt?" I replied a bit mad hearing this information. 

"Well dad had called mother letting her know what happened to Vlad and so that's why she called. Just to follow up and to check on everyone." Thomas replied.

"Oh really? Just so she could check on everyone. Well I find that a piece of crap, because you know and I know that the only person mom ever cared about was Vlad. Even though she loves him, it wasn't enough love to come with us to America. Which we know that, that had broke Vlad's heart, and since we've moved here mom hasn't a single bit called us ever. So why call now?" I asked Thomas in frustration.

  "Like I said, dad called her, and so she called back because as you said, her 'precious' little boy got miserably hurt so she had to call to check on him." Thomas said back to me.

  *huff* "What ever, she has no place in my heat any more." I said and then left the hall way to go to my room.

******* Thomas's point of view*******

    As I watched Astrine leave the hall way and go into his room, I couldn't help but kind of feel sad that my brother didn't care that our mother had called. I mean yeah we haven't seen or heard from her in a long time, but I'm pretty sure there was a reason why mother couldn't come with us to America when we left Romania. Anyways it was still nice to hear her voice on the phone and chat with her. Plus I promised her that I would call her back as soon as I checked to see how Vlad was doing. So I walked into the living room and found Vlad still knocked out on the couch. Not only that but he still looked very sickly pale and miserable, which was bad because that meant that he had lost a lot of blood. 

  Now seeing him in this condition made me sad because I knew deep down that the things he was doing was only because he wanted attention from my father so much that he went as far as to nearly killing himself to get that attention. Which would be the reason why he is laying on our couch knocked out from the loss of blood. Even so, I knew that he was a good person and is just doing bad things just so dad would be a lot nicer to him. Thus why I personally don't like the darkness faction and if I could, join one of the clans, but I know I couldn't because one, the clans would think I'm up to something when I'm not. Two, I'm a vampire and three, for the fact that I'm a vampire would cause problems, because most shape shifters hate vampires. 

 So with that in mind, when it comes to shape shifters, I'm on no one's side.  So any ways as I sat there and stared at my little brother, I started to wonder if possibly the reason why he hasn't woken up is because he has slipped into a coma which kind of scared me. So I started to gently shake Vlad and call his name. Only to see Vlad's head wobble around a bit like it had no life in it, and also to find Vlad not waking up. So then I started to talk to him to see if that would work. So I started off with, "So um Vlad, guess what? Mom called, she's very worried and uh well she hopes that you're ok and uh well uh-- Oh this is no use! You can't hear me and if you can, you can't say anything!" I said in distraught and then started to sob into Vlad neck. So for a long time I sat there and cried and cried and then cried some more. Then after sobbing for a bit , I had finally gotten a hold of myself and was able to keep myself from not crying like a baby, by telling myself that I need to be strong. So then I got up from kneeling on the ground by Vlad ( since I knelt down when I started to cry) and before leaving my brother, I said to him, "Please if you can hear me, I just want to let you know that I love you even if you act the way you do, and that mom loves you too. Oh and you're the best baker and poet that I know." Then I kissed him on the forehead and then left the room to go call mother back to let her know about Vlad's condition.

A.N/ Ok I know I don't do many of these any more, but this was a hard chapter to write because I could stop crying over Thomas's point of view, you guys don't know how much he really loves his little brother and how much pain it is for him to see his brother act the way he does.
