chapter 31

(Credit to Jorge mendez. Amazing work, check him out.)

Rose and I haven't spoke in a few days now. I want to respect her decisions, but, on the other hand I've been wanting to ignore her wishes and hold her close. I want to tell her I'm sorry, sorry for the way i am. I walked around my apartment picking her boxes up and carrying them through my portal to her front door.

I rung the bell and turned to walk away when I heard the front door open almost instantly. Like she knew I would be on the other side. "I was just leaving...." I spoke softly with my back facing her and my hands in my pants pockets. She doesn't say anything, I feel her staring at the back of my head.

I walk to my portal and put a foot through when I heard her sighed softly, "Violet....why do you try?" She spoke softly. I took one step away from my portal and looked back at her over my shoulder.

"What do you mean?" I asked as I noticed she had her arms crossed over her chest leaning against her door frame she looked like she was on the edge of crying.

I felt my eye's widen slightly as i noticed tears building up in her soft brown eye's. "I'm a human violet, you have to understand I'm not as strong as you are." She paused and looked down at the boxes at her feet. "I noticed that if I stayed with you any longer and all this is going to involve me getting killed. I don't want you anywhere near me." She looks up at me again. "I want you to stay away from me and my house." She paused to try fighting the tears. "Do you understand me....Violet?" A single tear falls down her soft dark cheek to the side of her lips.

By those words I felt a sharp pain in my chest. 'i felt this before.' I thought to myself as I brought my hand up to my chest.

I made a fist on my chest and turned away walking into my portal leaving her at the front door. 'I hate this feeling.' I thought to myself as I entered a black void.

'I told you the humans made you weak master.'

'Darius? How did you?.....nevermind.' I closed my mind off from him and sat down in the darkness and let it consume me. 'This feeling is almost like what I felt when they died.' I thought to myself as I brought the hand on my chest down to my lap with my other hand next to it. I stared at my palms then closed my eye's with my head still hanging low. "I want to forget everything about them." The void felt warm almost like a fire, a warmer feeling touches my cheek. like a warm, soft, gentle hand holding my cheek.

I opened my eye's slightly and noticed that it was a women's, lifting my head up lightly, "my, look what I found." She paused, "It's a weeping demon." She chuckles a bit, her voice was strong and gentle. I opened my eye's a bit more, she was wearing black and silver armor, her hand that held me was un-gloved. She had long pure white hair, hanging past her waist. I pulled away from her hand, and looked up at her helmet that covers her head and neck with a red shredded up cape that was clipped to one shoulder.

"Who are you?" I asked as i backed up a bit. I heard her chuckle lightly again and puts her glove back on, it had long metal claws at the end.

"How do you not recognize me?" She kneels in front of me. "Bring a flame up will you?" I jumped slightly.

"What did you say?"

She grabs my hand gently. "Don't be frightened dear, I know who and what you are." She spoke softly and tightened her grip a bit.

I looked at her helmet then our hands. I brought up a small purple flame with my form growing slowly. "Brighter dear." She let's go of my hand with her armor scraping against itself with some squeaking. I did as told, my entire hand was now covered in my flame, my eye's s pitch black, my arms pitch black, nails long and sharp. "Much better." She said as she pulled her helmet off. Her face was pale with her skin looking smooth and soft, her appearance was very gentle to the eye, she had bright golden eye's piercing into my own i noticed she has three scars across her left eye. "You are so gorgeous that way darling, why must you hide yourself?" I kept quiet and watched her, she sighs and gently placed a hand on my shoulder and gave me a toothy smile, she had a set of sharp teeth just like mine.

"I'm your mother Violet."

"My mother." I spoke softly with my eye's widen.

"But my parents are dead..." I added.

My flame grew a bit more past my wrist. She kept her smile, "then tell me if they were dead, why would Leona be sent to you?" Her eye's brighten to a soft glow. I kept quiet unsure what to say, "I have a feeling you have several questions, but for now I need to show you something." She stood up with her red stained clawed glove stretched out to me. I hesitated on taking her hand, "Trust me I won't hurt you."

I looked at her hand and gently placed mine in it. "Good now follow me." She begins to walk straight ahead and brought up a white portal that had a golden tint to it. "Where are you taking me?" I asked her as I put my flame out and followed her through the portal.

"Hush now, just do as I say." She said as she tightens her grip on my hand then let's go.

Moment's later we arrived at a large field with burnt grass. The smell of blood and burnt flesh was thick in the air it almost instantly filled my nose. I looked around and saw many bodies laying dead in their own pool of blood.

By every step I took I could hear the crunch of bone and the squish of blood and flesh in the soil. "What happened here?" I asked as i looked up at the sky. It was cloudy and dark, a full moon showed every detail on her armor and the fallen ones.

"A battle I won." She says as she continues to walk but slower. "A battle that was needed to be done." She paused and stood still in front of me and turned to look at me. "Look closer at those bodies and tell me what you see." I gulped a little and walked over to a severed head picking it up.

"This isn't human." I said looking at the nose, lips, and the pointed ears, the flesh was pale, pale as a freshly made piece of paper. "No, far from human dear." She stepped behind me placing a hand on each of my shoulders.

I looked straight ahead at the blood covered field.

She leans into my ear and whispers "one day you will be the cause of this battle." I tensed up and dropped the head and felt it hit the top of my boot with the blood covering the top of my boots.

"I would be..." I paused and looked at all the dead creatures.

"That day will be sooner than you think my dear....daughter."
