Love The Darkness

Mother Dearest {8}

~Flashback To 27th June 1801~

"Happy Birthday Michelle!" My mother cheered as I woke up from my sleep. I looked up at her with sleepy eyes and a dopey grin.
"Thank you mumma. I'm big girl now." I lazily spoke back and I saw my mothers loving gaze.
"Yeah, your all grown up now. Five years old bubba!" She added with enthusiasm and I woke up more and leaped into her and hugged her tight.

"No matter what I'll always be your bubba! Just because I'm five now don't mean I'm to old for you mumma." I tease as she carries me out the bedroom and into the living room where my nasty father sat and beside him was two presents.
"Yeah, you'll always be my bubba. Anyway, I got you two presents." I eagerly opened the first box to see a pin of a sun and moon.
"Thank you! It's the sun and moon from the story you tell me!" I exclaimed as I hold it close to me and my mother smiles whilst my fathers face doesn't change.

"Open your other one bubs." My mum pressed and I opened the other to see a really big jacket made of leather.
"Why's it so big mumma?" I ask and she smiles before putting it back in the box.
"This is special because it's for when you even bigger and I got it so you'll always remember this moment." She explained with a soft smile.
"Love you mumma, love you dadda." I say with a large smile. My mother kisses the crown of my h as affectionately.
"Love you too bubba." She replies and I looked up into my fathers cold eyes.

"Whatever."

~End Flashback~

She hopped down from the place she stood and appeared a couple feet in front of Camila and I. Camila hadn't taken her eyes off me since I spoke the one syllable word.
"Hello Michelle." My mum spoke again and I felt my eyes change. The familiar feeling of everyone's fear overcoming me. I am the Pestifer Mundi not the simple vampire I once was. Well, I never was just a simple vampire.

"That's not my name." I spat out and looked directly at the woman who left me at the clutches of the ruthless Mike Morgado. The woman who cared more for Taylor and Chris than me because I had a dick.
"Michelle died the day Mike turned me over to the Cleansers and you died the day you turned your back on me." I spat venomously without regard for her feelings. She stepped closer and I backed off.
"I never turned my back on you, that's not true." Clara tried to reason but it wasn't working if anything it was making me angrier.

"Not true? Not fucking true? YOU LET ME BELIEVE I WAS ALONE THAT NOBODY WAS LIKE ME BUT YOU ARE THE OLDEST VAMPIRE OF THEM ALL!!! You let me believe that you all died and where were you when I lost control? Where were you when I tried to killed myself? Where were you when the Cleansers tried to kill me? Where the fuck were you Clara?!" The tears pouring from my eyes stung. The tears falling from hers made me feel hollow.

But the tears falling from Camila's made my heart swell.

"Lauren, that's enough! I get that she was never there okay and that she let your father have his fun with you but at least listen to her if not for you then me. You know you can't do what Sebastian wants if The Count is your own flesh and blood." Camila scolded as she stood between me and my mum. As much as I hated to admit it, Camila was right.

I couldn't kill my mum. No matter what she'd done to hurt me.

"Lauren, I'm truly sorry I did this to you but I summoned you and Camila here because of Sebastian. I know he wants me dead. He wants you to do it Camila as you know, but what you don't know is why." Clara spoke out into the thick tension as she stepped closer to us both. I stayed silent. I didn't trust my voice.
"Why does he want you dead?" Camila asked for me and Clara looked toward me with sympathy in her eyes.
"I killed his son." She answered and Camila gasped.

"His son Dalton was a vicious little shit who killed anything in sight and he was risking our exposure to the world. So, he had to go. Sebastian has been after me since. Now, he wants to use my daughters mate and my daughter so I kill you both and feel his pain." Clara explained briefly and I sigh in annoyance.

I just want to be left alone. I just want to live in peace with Camila in our new house on Dinahs territory and enjoy immortality and maybe Camila will join me on the ride and maybe she'll want a child with me. Maybe. If all this drama stays clear.

"What's the catch?" I ask knowing that there's a key factor in all this.
"Only Camila can kill him."

I fucking knew it.

"She can't exactly do that when she's human and her vampire side is sealed away can she?" I tease and Camila taps my shoulder. I turn back to see her with a soft smile.
"I want to. I want to be a vampire and live forever with you." She spoke so softly that if I wasn't listening I wouldn't have caught it.
"Are you sure? There's no going back?" I ask wearily, afraid she was just joking.

"I'm positive. Call Troian."

Another short chapter but let's just say shits about to go down.

I might start writing another story too, it's one that's been stuck in my head a while and personally it has a great concept to it and I think you'll all enjoy it, so just let me know if you want to see it.
