Alone

Chapter 9

"Are they alive?" A curious voice asks.

"They are alive, but very weak. I need you to go get me a ton of blood, ok Ray?" A female voice commands. As footsteps walk away, two cool fingers are pressed down on my neck.

"You have to be alive, I love you." The female whispers to me.

I feel a drop of wetness land next to the fingers. I now realize who this woman is, my mother, Ava. I can feel my strength coming back to me, just knowing that mother loves me. I reach up and put a hand on her cheek.

"Mother." I whisper with the last of my strength.

Then my hand falls and I black out. When I wake up again, I'm in a comfy bed with covers on me. I look around and see Jayden lying in a bed just like mine. I register that he too, is also coming around.

I see a man enter quickly; set two water bottles filled with blood, on a night stand between Jayden and I. Jayden sits up quickly and grabs the water bottle. He starts chugging blood down.

"Thirsty, are we, Jayden?" I ask him teasingly. He looks up from the water bottle, and glares at me. I'm shocked.

"Why are you talking to me?" He asks harshly.

I'm so surprised, that I start bawling out tears. He laughs and keeps drinking. The same man that set the blood in here enters and hits me.

"Why is everybody always hitting me!?" I screamed, frustrated now. He slapped me again and walked out of the door.

"Why does Jayden hate me now? Why does everyone hate me? My fake father, my real father, Ray, and even my mother! What did I do wrong?!" I scream at the top of my lungs. A woman enters and hugs me.

"I don't hate you child. What do you mean by 'why does Jayden hate me now?' Hasn't he always hated you?" My mother asks, confused.

"No, we love each other and I know that for a fact." I said simply. My mother looked scared.

"How long have you guys loved each other?" My mom whispered.

"Ever since we started getting along. Why do you ask?" I whisper back.

"It's nothing important, but I need you to tell me what all you guys have done together." She's looking even more scared by every word.

"We met each other at school, he punched me in my bedroom, he introduced Odin to me, I was explained everything I didn't know, we met Rykar together, we ran from Rykar, we kissed, and of course, we were found together by your people." I explained to her seriously. She relaxed and backed up.

"I guess you don't need this then."

She snapped her fingers and Ray came in, took Jayden's water bottle, gave him mine, and they all backed out of the door. Jayden was about to take a drink of the water bottle, when I took it away from him.

"Wait! Don't drink that!" I caution him.

When he looks up to grab the water bottle from my hands, I kiss him. I then see him actually register who I am and kiss me back.

"I couldn't hold it in any longer, Katerina." He whispers in my ear. I now understood.

"You shouldn't have told her that. We have to get out of here. This is Rykar's layer and that is not your mother. She doesn't look like that and she isn't that sweet."

He was still whispering in my ear, when the door was thrown open and in rushed Rykar. I glanced at Jayden and saw that he was frightened. He caught my eyes and nodded his head yes once.

"Oh, my darling daughter, I have mis-."

I kicked him in the gut and we ran. We were about to burst through the doors, when we heard Ray yell.
