Sh*t

She threw a huge party to honor Alex coming back to her and us each our own room.

From the outside it had looked made up of vines and roots but on the inside it was made up of marble glass obsidian and other materials I didn't know.

I got a closet full of clothes and a bed. I took a nap and got ready.

I put on a blue dress and put my hair in a side braid.

I finally got their after half an hour wondering around the place.

There was a part in the party when everyone started singing I only sang once and it was one of my favorite songs. (Mirrors by Justin Timberlake)

"Aren't you something to admire, 'cause your shine is something like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and this glare makes me hard to find just know I'm parallel on the other side
'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'm here trying to pull you through
You just gotta be strong"

I made a few friends during the party. For example Abraham. He was really nice. He had a single dad 2 brothers and a sister. I had made plans to hang out with him the next day. I looked for Alex for a while, after what seemed forever I found Alex in the back of a bush outside.

"I don't feel very good" he looked like he was about to puke
"Why do you smell like alcohol"
"My mom gave me a whole bottle of it she's great"

He almost fell on the ground but I was able to steady him and put him on a bench nearby. He started mumbling under his breath.

He started saying something but stopped. "You know your not pretty right, not even a little the only reason I became friends with you was because I had no one else and I needed a distraction I also wanted to see if I could sleep with you really funny if you ask me the only reason I told you about my mom and my 'powers' was because I needed you to feel bad for me you were the only source of entertainment I've had for months.

Now the last girl the one before you, she was a pretty one but she got better and left the hospital what a bummer and before I could sleep with her.

I miss her a lot you know not because of her personality but because of her body damn that was something.

Wish you looked like she did your a bit plain for my usual taste, but what was I gonna do" he howled.

I didn't know what to do, what to say I just turned around and tried to find my room and left Alex there drunk.

When I finally found it and was about 7 feet away from my room someone called my name and next thing I know there was a bag was over my head.

I could barely breathe I started seeing spots trying to get the bag off but someone was holding it not letting me breathe, I ended up passing out.

When I woke up I was strapped to a vertical metal table wearing a really big sweater, I think a tank top underneath, sweat pants, and a sweater around my waist I also had a rag shoved in my mouth I'm guessing to stop me from screaming.

I waited about 5 minutes when finally a women in a black hoodie came.

She had a knife in her hand, she started walking towards me when she was close enough she started cutting me.

My arms, to my thigh right through the sweat pants, and my stomach.

I was covered in my own blood. But there was something wrong with my blood it was black and thick like syrup.

I was in so much pain more pain that I had ever been before.

The women took off her hoodie. It was Alex's mom, the QUEEN.

She got a container and filled it with my blood all while smirking with a twinkle of delight in her eyes. "Thank you for coming with my son that was a very helpful surprise" she hissed.

She kept cutting me and collecting my blood for about a week I don't know it was hard to keep track.

She fed me water and some bread once a day.

I don't know how I didn't die from blood lost or infection, she always sent someone to stitch me up right after our 'sessions', it was horribly done but enough for me not to bleed completely out until the next day.

Then one day I was able to take out the rag in my mouth and I screamed, I screamed as loud as I could.

Alex came running in. He started untying and asked me who did it. I told him his mom did this right before she calmly walked in.

"Oh thank god you found her, my beloved son I can finally tell you my biggest regret and secret. The reason I left you back in the real world was because, I was dying."
"If you were dying how come your still alive after all these years."
"In this world it doesn't affect me and the moment I leave, I die. That's the reason I need the girls blood. She has a special kind of blood called nightshade blood. Which means you can cure anyone and that you have some type of power to control everything"

Alex looked like he had mixed feelings about it.

He asked his mom why she would want to go to the other world.

She told him it was to be with him.

While they were distracted I kicked his mom in the gut and she hit her head on one of the tables and past out, I screamed at Alex to untie me but he grabbed the knife and slit my arm and put the blood on his mom.

As soon as my blood touched her she woke up. She smiled at Alex then got two containers and gave one two Alex.

She ordered him to fill it to the top with my blood.

The last thing I saw before I past out was him filling it up and smiling and crying at the same time.

When I woke up my arm was fine not even a scar.

I replayed everything that happened.

Alex came running in telling me "we don't need you anymore you are not important or have value to us now".

I didn't know how to take that.

He seemed to be tearing up.

I heard footsteps coming towards me Alex took off running and I pretended to be asleep.

The queen came in and started beating me and I realized that everything was hurting and swollen before she started beating me.

I ended up passing out again from the pain.
