Blood Secrets

CHAPTER 10

NOW

I've been here a total of five days. Five days. At first, all I could feel was fear, then anguish,  then full-blown anger. Now? Now I feel nothing. Nada. It's like all emotions have been drained from me and left me with a big hole that's getting deeper and deeper.

She visits me, well she did at first. My mother, the woman who was supposed to love me, nurture me and keep me safe but she's the reason I'm in danger.

All my life I've wanted to meet her to feel her touch, to know her smell and to see her love. I'd dreamt about it before but known it couldn't happen - she was dead.

But she isn't.

I've known this for a while and have come to terms with the fact. At least, I thought I had. I was prepared and ready to meet her and face her 6 days ago but now I'm here, it's hell. I could never be prepared for this torture. Physical and mental.

"All I want is what is rightfully mine".

She says this again and again. It's drilled into my mind and it won't leave. I can't comprehend any other thoughts but what she tells me. All her lies.

But I let her. My dad taught me well and so far, it's working.

I've heard my mother's side of the story - the wrong side and she thinks I believe her. She thinks I don't know the truth and she's trying to confuse me. Make me lose faith in all that I know but I won't. Not now, not ever.

She tells me stories and I can't deny they're interesting. Her cunningness and cockiness never ceases to amaze me. Her stories of her "deceit" as she calls it.

She really thinks I listen when she feeds me with her fables:

"Andy is evil"

"Andy took you away from me - all him"

"Your father kept me away from you, I wanted to be with you but they kept you away"

"It's not my fault"

I admire her tactics to turn me away from Andy and my father but they're not even the worst. The worst lie she's told me has got to be:

"I love you"

I must admit, I admire her determination! Not a lot of people would try that hard to persuade! But that's as far as my admiration travels for her though. I could never deeply admire that woman for something important knowing all she's done.

All the horror and pain she's caused to people's families - even destroying her own makes her despicable and it's horrifying knowing someone that malicious is my mother.

When I thought it couldn't get worse, the torture escalated. I haven't eaten in two days but she let's me drink water. I know it's not because she cares, but because she needs me alive.

I just can't wait for our plan to phase out - for her glorious little kingdom to come crashing down.

Mum knows I have what she wants but, oh, mother, if you know the whole truth, you wouldn't know what hit you.
