He Killed My Mother ➳ L.S

9. Truth

I find myself violently shoved against a wall. A man, quiet beefy with black eyes looking at me with rage. I'm in panic. I was just taking out the trash bags, I was supposed to go back to the bar, but this man surprised me.

"Tell me from where you got this bite mark." He breathes, pressing against it, while I swallow difficulty. I must add that his breath is sophisticating. Like, does he know that humanity created something called toothpaste? Okay Tommo, not the right time to sass.

It's been a month since I was bitten by H. He disappeared from my life, for my biggest happiness. But that's the third time that I meet a vampire that wants to know from where I got the bite, and from who I received it. I've always lied, saying that I belonged to a vampire and that he was the responsible of it.

Except today, I feel that it's gonna be complicated..

"It's.. my vampire," I lie. "I- I belong to someone."

"What's his name?"

"It's Benjamin." Wow, this name is like an antiquity.

He groans and grabs my shirt's collar, sending me to the ground. My back hits the floor violently, which makes me cry out in pain.

"You're lying, I feel it." He frowns his eyebrows. "If you don't tell me the truth, I will wrench your little heart from your chest, understood?" He threatens.

"No.. Please, d- don't kill me." I beg. I've begging so much lately; where did your ego and dignity go, Tommo?

"Then tell me." He growls.

I can't.. If I do, I'm gonna have troubles with H, which means, I'll have to see him, thing I do not want to happen. If I don't tell him though, he'll kill me.

What do I do?

"Why do you want to.. know?" I ask, quietly.

"I'm the one who asks questions, human. Answer mine."

"It's.. he'll kill me if I tell you.. please.."

"Kill you? Why's that?" He narrows his eyes at me.

"Because, he's strong.." I breathe out.

"Strong you say? So am I."

"He's a thousand time stronger than you are.." I close my eyes.

"Don't tell me.. don't tell me you're talking about the boss? He's your vampire?"

"No. He's not my vampire, I don't belong to him.."

"But he feeds on you." I nod slowly. I literally signed my death. Oh God, that's so messed up.

"And why did he feed on you?" He asks again.

"I don't know.. I was there in a bad time, I never wanted it to happen, I promise."

"Go away. Now." He orders, with a cold voice.

I do what I was told to do. Standing up rapidly, I run inside the bar to hide. I breathe and out, trying to calm down. Thank God I was able to avoid him. I'm still in big troubles. I told him who it was. Now he'll come to get me!I don't wanna see him anymore! I slide my hands up and down my face in frustration, and sigh loudly. "Shit!"

I really wanna leave this place. But I can't. I have to work, or I'll have to face not just H, but my boss too.

I try to regain my posture, turn around and go back to work. I decide to stay behind the counter to serve drinks.

"Louis, a drink please." Says one of the clients. It's Kevin, he comes here frequently. We talked a little before. I serve him his beer, and he pays for it.
