Breath of Darkness

Chapter 10

Frozen. Frozen to the spot. I don't know what has just happened. My mind can't begin to piece the information in my brain. My father. My dear father shot dead right in front of me. My world spinning around me. Crashing down and there is nothing I can do to stop it. I was brought outta my thoughts by my uncle pulling me to the ground. Sirens wailed in the distance. Then silence. It was as if whoever done this to my father had finished what they wanted. My fathers last words played back in my mind.

"There is something else Aaliyah. You're a hybrid. A cross between an angel and a human. Aaliyah you're a Nephilim."

What did that even mean. What was a Nephilim. Was it a disease ? My poor father was taken from us before he even had the chance to explain.

*******************************************************

My uncle refused to talk about it till after the funeral. Well I guess today is the day. The day that everything will fall into place. It was also the day I would get to say goodbye to my father forever. I wasn't ready for this. I imagined him meeting my children in the future. He would of made an amazing grandfather. I imagined him sitting on the porch with my children playing in the sunshine. He would tease them and chase them. They would love him so much. But the police are no further into their investigation. I have a feeling that we will never find an answer. I snapped back to reality. I sat frozen to my spot as my father coffin was brought into the chapel. My mother broke down in tears. She couldn't help it. Her one true soul mate was gone forever and no one knew why it had all happened. I tried to comfort my mother as the service began. I had to be strong for her. I had to be her rock. I felt an arm go round me and I saw Alejandro take a seat beside me. To grief stricken to attempt to move him, I buried my head into his chest, taking in what ever comfort I could grasp at this dreadful. I felt a tear slip down my cheek slowly. I would later regret letting Alejandro comfort me. I didn't have time to think about Tara in hospital and how Alejandro had just left her as soon as she was found in a coma. The funeral was lovely. My fathers favourite song played as the coffin was taken outta the chapel. Heaven by Bryan Adams. It was a truly magical service. I walked outside with Alejandro's arm still around me. He walked us round to the side of the building. I furrowed my eyebrows at him but I reluctantly followed. We sat down on the bench.

"I'm genuinely so sorry for what happened to your father Aaliyah. No one should ever have to witness that." Alejandro started with his voice dripping with concern.

"I'm fine honestly." I stuttered.

He came closer a began to hug me. I loved the feeling of his body again mine. I felt like I belong here. It was such a weird feeling. I slowly moved closer into his chest, welcoming his embrace. I began to think of everything that has happened. I quickly snapped out of my daze and moved away from his embrace.

"What's wrong ? Why did you move away?" He questioned.

"Don't think I have forgotten what you have done. You dated my best friend but as soon as she needed you the most you decided to leave her even though she doesn't know because she is in a FUCKING COMA !" I bawled.

"You then decided to move onto my other best friend. How does that look Alejandro. I thank you for being there for me today but that doesn't mean I want anything to do with you."

"Aaliyah don't be stupid. Come sit down now. Stop causing a scene." Alejandro said control filling his voice.

"No Alejandro I won't. Don't come near me for the rest of the day !"

As if it was fate Liam walked round the corner. He saw me crying and pulled me into a protective hug.

"What the fuck have you done now. Seriously she is burying her father and you go out of your way to make her feel even worse. What sort of JERK does something like that. Are you a psycho or something ?" Liam spat at Alejandro.

"Who the hell do you think you're talking to !" Alejandro walked over to Liam.

I was quickly whipped to behind Liam. What happened next was not what I expected to happen. Alejandro launch himself at Liam and before I knew it they where both fighting on the ground outside the church. I broke down in tears as I tried to stop them fighting. Suddenly a hand came flying towards me and hit me straight in the face. I felt my lip starting to bleed and more tears streamed down my face. I rushed round the corner and grabbed me uncle. He rushed over to the boys and pulled them apart. Anger flashed across his eyes. Hatred filled them as he look at the two boys. Silence yet in that silence it was as if everything was said. Alejandro marched off home as Liam took me into his arms and walked me over to my fathers grave.....
