A Vampire's Slave

XLIII

  *This chapter is rewritten*

Taken aback by the news I have just received, I stood up, stepping back from...Jane.

My mother is Jane...Mochief's lover?!?

She stood up as well, reaching for my hand but I quickly snatched my hand back. I wish for not to touch me.

"Are you angry with me?" She spoke, her breath barely above a whisper. Her eyebrows knitted together as she rubbed her hands together.

"You left me with a monster! You do not understand what I had gone through with him!" I spoke, my voice picking up volume with each word.

"Isabella, my intentions were not to be away from you for that long!" Jane spoke, walking closer to me.

"But you did. You stayed away from me for twenty years. What had I done for you to abandon me that way? Why couldn't you have left me with my father? Someone, who I am related to?" My vision began to blur slightly as I felt my tears slide down my cheeks.

"Sometimes..mothers do things that may seem absurd, but trust me when I tell you this...it is better that you had lived with Lucas and not your father. "  Jane spoke to me.

"He did not want me either?" I ask.

"The same pack who you are to rule over is the same pack that rejected us once the truth of your existence came. " Jane spoke to me.

"Lies. This pack has treated me with nothing but the utmost respect"

Jane sighed. "My dear, you have a lot to learn" She spoke to me. I had not realized how close she had gotten to me until her fingers touched my cheeks, rubbing away my tears.

"Truly you have turned out to be so beautiful" She spoke.

I moved her hand away from me, wiping away the remaining tears.

"I have heard things about you when I was living with Mochief. My suffering was because of you" I spoke to her.

"For that, I apologize, Isabella. However, Lucas was kind enough to allow me into his home when I became pregnant with you. He and I were together when-"

"You made a mistake and instead of taking responsibility, you ran away!"

"But no longer will I do that, Isabella! That is why I am here! I came to see you. I am sorry. I am truly sorry for the pain I have caused you, for me not being there for you. Please, Isabella, forgive me."

Edna had not taught what to do with matters like these.

My silence must have been enough for Jane because she pulled me into a hug. She smelled of vanilla as her hair tickled my ears.

"I want you to come with me." She spoke after our embrace.

"To where?"

"To the place that I had gone. We will only be gone for a few years-"

"I finally have found happiness and now you wish to snatch me away? I am happy here and I am not leaving. Now if you will excuse me, I must speak with my mate" I spoke as I turned to leave, opening up the door.

"Isabella, stop"  Jane called after me but I did not listen. I just wish to get away from her presence.

"I said stop" She spoke more sternly. With that being said, my legs lost the power to move. I could not kick them, I could not bend them. I could not even feel them. Shortly after, the same thing happened to my arms before my body was pushed back into the guest hall and the door closed shut before me.
