The Demons We Face - The Darkest Secrets Series

Chapter Seven

Mary

  "Yes, yes, oh God yes," she hears the woman on the TV chant. She hears a knock on the door and she gets up, wrapping her robe around her body more firmly.

   She walks over to the door and looks out of the peephole to discover her sister staring back at her. "Mary, if you don't open this damn door right now,  I swear I will break it down and rip you out," her sister growls out.  Mary sighs, puts on a smile, and greets her sister. "April! Such a pleasant surprise! To what do I owe the..," "Can it Mary. I'm here about Zane. He's in the hospital and he just told me about how he was attacked by these....these hoodrats. Now, do you mind telling me why YOU DIDN'T HELP MY SON WHEN HE CAME IN BLOODIED UP?!?!?!!!!," she screeches out. Mary steps back, shocked at how furious her sister looks. "April, calm down. That happened months ago. I did help him. I," " Shut up. I do not want to ever see you again. I trusted you with my son. But you can't even get off your back long enough to HELP MY SON WHEN HE CAME TO YOU FOR HELP WHEN HE WAS BLOODIED UP! I will never forgive you for this. All your good for is a booty call. Thanks for nothing," April tells her, breathing heavily. April turns on her heel and gets in her car.

April

     She gets in her car after her rant and she drives off.

Zane

       Zane closes his eyes and drifts down into a deep sleep and, for once, doesn't have any dreams.

April

She arrives at the hospital and goes into her son's room. She sees his pale, barely there frame. She's pained at the sight of him and quietly promises him "I'll always protect you from now on," and she gently kisses his forehead.
