Please. . . Don't make me do this. . .

"He was my father! I deserved to know!"

"You where pregnant with Gemini! I didn't want to scare you! I thought . . . I thought you'd be better off knowing that he was still alive but, but gone" he says to me. It happens in seconds, the anger and frustration of it all that was all built up inside of me as it just fell down on top of me, like a skyscraper falling down onto one civilian. I screamed at him then this black cloud of smoke appeared on him throwing him to the trees behind me. I thought of that, I thought of throwing Conner to the tree's to hurt him but I knew that I couldn't, I freaked out when I saw him his body covered in blood and three tree's knocked to the ground with chunks missing from them, I didn't know what to do, I knew that he'd heal but then I just . . . I had to leave.

I kept running until I saw a tree that I felt looked very familiar, I slow down coming to a halt when I spot the red spiral on it, I look around and see the fire still there, I walk into what was left of the burnt down home and see footprints of rats and other creatures, I found an area on the ground that wasn't completely burnt to a crisp and collapsed there crying and crying, I curl up into a ball and sob until the buzzing from my pocket caught my unwanted attention.

"H-Hello?" I say as I hear the voice on the other end.

"I need you home, Gemini and Conner are freaking out! Please babe! I don't know what to do!" she says to me, Beth always knew what to do so it is strange for me to get this call, I end it not caring I needed to be by myself for the moment.

"Oh small child" someone says I look around seeing nothing but darkness, scanning the room my eyes land on the burning ones that saved me from my assault.

"What the hell do you want from me? A thank you card?" I ask it, whatever it is. It smiles at me I hear it move around in the shadows, as I get up feeling slightly nauseous and threatened.

"Oh no sweet child, I know what you are, and I can help you"

"What are you talking about?"

"I know that you're scared, and you wish to be back in the arms of your daddy, but unfortunately he's too dead to help you"

"Shut up"

"Oh sweet child I wish that you'd be able to turn it on and off" it says to me, showing off a row of sharp teeth.

"Turn what off?"

"Don't you know that you're a creature like you friends? Why you've been going this long I thought that they'd figure it out soon enough" it says to me I lean against the wall and clench my jaw.

"You know what I am?" I ask it making the creature smile.

"I know that you're powerful"

"How?" I say to it making it smile, a hand comes into the light, a black leather hand with sharp claws resembling ones of a lizard or crocodile of sorts.

"Come with me, I'll show you" it says to me, it's eyes change to a more normal look, dark coloured eyes that seemed to make me feel safe before taking me outside, I didn't even seem to look at the rest of it just at its eyes before it took me towards the tree placing a hand to it, then a flash of red and the smell of burning flesh snaps me back into reality.
