broken souls

14

I get home and walk in. It’s quite. As always. I look at my phone. Nothing. I sigh.

Roman. I hope your okay, I know you were upset. Just respond when you can. Love you.

   I send the text and go up to my room. I pull my moms book out and look at it. I trace down the front of the cover and feel the leather on my finger tips. I smile slightly. I open the book and I’m filled with a since of familiarity. I hear a knock on the door and I shove the book under the pillow.

“Come in!” I say loudly.
Its Letha. And here eyes are red.

I jump up and hug her quickly. “what’s wrong?”

“Roman. Hes in a coma, he overdosed on drugs” she wipes a few tears away and looks down.

My hands fall to my sides. What.
“What do you mean…” my heart feels like its beating in slow motion and the world slowed down.

“I’m so sorry. He showed up to the white tower causing a problem and Price had to sedate him.”
With out thinking I grab my hoodie and I’m running out of the house.

“WAIT WHERE ARE YOU GOING?” I hear from behind me.

I hop in the car and drive to the white tower.

   I run in, go in the elevator and  go to the floor Olivia took me to before. I don’t know what I’m doing. But I’m running on instinct.

I walk up to the security desk and ask to see price.

“Mama. You need to have clearance to enter here.”
The man says firmly.

“Please just ask price if hed come to me then. Tell him its Andrea Teller!” I cross my arms and say firmly.
His lips twitch and he picks up the phone and talks low.

“Yes. Mrs teller. Yes. Really, are you sure. Yes sir.” He hangs up.  “right this way.” He motions for me to follow him.

He takes me to his Office. And I sit and wait patiently.

After about 10 minutes he walks in.

“Andrea what can I do for you?” he smiles and sits down at his desk.

“roman… what happened.” He frowns a bit.

“Ah. Yes. Quite unfortunate. He showed up here. Out of state. And caused a bit of damage to our facility, I sedated him. But he seems to be in a state of self induced psychosis, I do believe this is right up his uncle Norman’s alley.”

He folds his hands and studies me.

“Is he going to be okay?” I ask.

“Yes, if he brings himself out of this state.”

I nod. “now I was actually going to call you because I have remarkable results on your blood work.” His smile is back.

“What do you mean.” He pulls a file out and opens it and takes a couple of papers and sets them on his desk.

“Look here.” He points to the two papers. “this is your genetic makeup markers here and this is regular dna. See the difference. This is a remarkable, Andrea, do you know what Roman and his mother are.” He eyes me.

“Olivia too. Damn Roman Andy and now her.” I run my hand through my hair and breath out a sigh.

“Andy, who’s this andy fellow?” he eyes me.

“Bad news. Hes attacked me a few times.”

“Oh dear. Well since you know what they are, let me explain. Your genetic make up is the only one ive found to fully support Upir breeding. And healing.” He says fondly.
