Chapter 9: let's start

Maples pov:

"Please stop" I scream in a lifeless room, I'm tied to a charm being tortured.

"I will never syrup! Don't you get it?" A voice I know so well screams at my face making me whimper.

"Just....just leave them alone. I'm all yours please" I beg as tears stream down my face

"I'll torture those who took you away from me" he says with venom

"Your a monster....h-how could you" I croak

"I kill for what I want" he spits as he grabs my face roughly in his hands, "and you are what I want"

"Well to bad I'm not yours" I say raising my head and staring right in his eyes

"You will be once I mark you and claim you" a says running his hands down my body groping my breasts on the way making me barf

"Please" I whimper

"Oh syrup. How I have missed you" he says nuzzling my neck and breathing in my scent

"I-I will do anything if you just leave them alone" I cry

"It is a shame, if only you said it before" he says before his teeth elongate and I let out a scream as he is about to mark me,

"MAPLE WAKE UP" someone screams as I start kicking at the sheets in fear before I look up and see a worried Mike

"W-where am I" I ask a little scared as I see all the kids looking at me scared then I remember where I am.

"Sorry mum, we tried to keep him out but he wouldn't let us" apologises Ty

"It's ok" I say as they come and cuddle next to me, "it's just another death wish from the angels" I spit as I look up at the ceiling

"Angels?" Mike asks

"Just a saying" I lie waving off his question as I stroke my kids heads awkwardly because there is three of them.

"Maple what's going on? Because that was more then just a nightmare" Mike asks

"Nothing's going on.....just the past" I hesitantly explain

"The past of what?" Mike questions

"Have you ever lost someone?" I inquire

"Yes...many times" Mike confirms

"Well that's just it, I'm fretting over lost people" I say giving him a sad smile

"Oh...I'm sorry" mike says awkwardly

"Don't be...the past is the past right?" I lightly chuckles

"I guess so." Mike says standing to leave as I feel a pang of guilt

"Mike" I whisper

"Yeah?" He asks with a sad expression

"Whatever happens" I say taking a gulp of air, "please don't leave my kids. Look after them. They need protection and I know I won't be there." I plea

Nodding as a reply as he studies my dead serious face

"And...I'm sorry for what is about to come....to repay what I have done...I'll try" I say swallowing the lump in my throat, "I'll try to be a good mate" I smile at him before he grins at me as he leaves close the door behind him.

"Mum" Ses says tugging on my shirt

"Yep" I say looking down at them

"What happened?" She asks

"Nothing you need to worry about" I say stroking her head before turning to Zach,

"Training is now more intense...ok?" I ask before they all stand up and I prepare them.

"Anything that will help." Zach smiles as the others nod as agreement.

"Good, let's start" I smile wickedly
