Chains Of Blood

Chapter Sixteen

Sebastian was playing with Maia's hair. She felt a shock of numbness over her body. She clawed at her brother's hand. Sebastian pushed his sister and was holding her arms by her sides. "I can hurt you in more ways than one but I just want to spend time with my little sister" her brother said sourly. Maia rolled her eyes at him. "I want to get to know you, tell me something about you?", her brother questioned. "No", she roared. "Fine then", her brother said. Sebastian released his grip on her. Maia pushed him and ran back up stairs. She ran into her bedroom and tried to locked the door but Sebastian pushed it open before she could do anything.

"Sebastian leave me the fuck alone", she screamed. Sebastian landed on top his sister and was holding her arms down. She growled and snarled at him. "Tell me you love me", her brother said. "I don't love you, I hate you", she whispered. "I think you know better than that to talk to me like that, your own brother", he said. "My brother wouldn't do THIS to me", she roared at him. "Are you referring to Jonathan because he is weak, just like you", her brother roared back. "He is better than you", she cried out. Sebastian just laughed, "No one is better than me, little sister". She shivered as he spoke. "Why are you like this?", she asked. "Well little sister, WE are like this because we are more demon than human, our blood is different than Jonathan's, haven't you ever wondered why your veins turned red and not black like Jonathan's", her brother explained, "Yes I have noticed, I have been watching you Maia, I know who you are, I know everything about you", her brother whispered.

"It doesn't matter anymore because soon you will be here will us, forever, we can be a family again", her brother went on. "We might be family by blood, but my true family is my brother; Jonathan", she spat. Sebastian moved off his sister and walked into the kitchen. Maia pulled herself into a sitting position and waited. Sebastian walked over to his sister and grabbed her chin and poured blood down her throat. She pulled away from her brother and stood up with blood all over her body and dripping down her mouth.

"What the fuck is wrong with, why are you trying to pour blood down my throat", she screamed. "I'm trying to feed you", he explained. "Force feed me, more like, I only eat when I am really hungry, not constantly", she said. "Well, I don't know if you know this but you seem to come uncontrollable when you don't feed", he explained. "I don't have a temper", she yelled. Maia groaned, "I'm going bed, I don't want to speak to you, I don't want to see you and I hate that I'm even related to you", she screamed at him. Her brother was stunned by her words, he grabbed his sister's wrist and pulled her towards him and dragged her downstairs into father's basement. He locked the door behind him and Maia turned around and saw her father and him savagely drinking the blood from a small animal and tearing it's flesh apart. Maia passed out in horror. Even though she did these things it was different with her family.

She woke up on her bed with blood all over her mouth. She ran to her bathroom and washed herself and changed her clothes and binned her other clothes. "If Jonathan's finds out, he will kill me", she thought. She ran into the living room and ran into Jonathan , almost falling in front of him. "What's the rush?", her brother asked. "Nothing, I was just trying to find you", she said. "I am in the same building as you, don't need to run", her brother explained. "I just wanted to ask if there was anything I could do, I'm slightly bored", she lied. "Nothing, sorry that you're board but I have to go to the hospital and get blood to last us for the week, so I won't be back for half an hour", Jonathan explained. She nodded, Jonathan ruffled her hair. She just gave in an incredulous stare, "I'm not a dog", she yelled at him. Jonathan threw his hands up, "Your so cute, when your mad, and now height can be an extension of that", he joked at her. She yelled out, "I'm not that small". "Maia, you are five foot two, you are height of an 12 year old", Jonathan said. She huffed and walked back into her bedroom. Jonathan left the apartment.

Maia collapsed on her bed and grabbed her laptop from under bed and decided to some extra homework, she has always wanted to be a author, from her adopted-mother being part of a major publishing company. She always felt inspired to write short horror/thriller novels, she and her old best friend Sophie used to binge watch any horror film that was old. They both loved the Saw franchise, even if got terrible as some points. After the second films, they would just laugh at the deaths, which lead to Sophie's parents believing that they were both fucked up to something, they would just laugh. She missed her but she knew that she had to move on, her friend would become a distant memory.

Maia realised that her life was already a real life horror story, she just had figure how to get away from it or deal with it. She had two conflicting choices. She started her science homework which was some online drag and click tasks which were easy, even though she didn't really like science. Her father would get mad if she would get bad marks in science or maths, because of him being a doctor and all, knowing everything about the medical side, and more. She stopped and shut down her laptop and daydreamed.
