The Forsaken (Abandoned)

Chapter 1: Have I Gone Crazy??

Caitlyn's P.O.V.

All day I have been feeling weird. Like, you know that feeling when you hit your funny bone? Well I have that feeling but all over my body. It's weird. My body is all tingly and stuff. This isn't good though because tomorrow is my 18th birthday!!! I mean, come on! It's the biggest day of my life!! I am going to be an adult!...Until my mother came home. And I mean never, ever, does she come home unless it's big. She doesn't come on birthday's, holiday's, or anything. The last time she ever came home was when my grandmother died. That was 2 years ago. I can still remember that day...

*Flashback*

*Ring! Ring! Ring!* goes the phone. I look at the caller ID. It showed, "Unknown." I picked it up and waited a few seconds before speaking. "Hello?"

The person on the other line said to me, "Is this Caitlyn Clarine?" The woman sounded like she was in her late 30's, early 40's. I couldn't tell though.

"Umm, yes this is. Who is this?" I was standing in the middle of my kitchen, looking at the painting on the wall. I just realized how beautiful it was-

The woman interupted my thoughts and said to me, "This is Delaney from the Police Department. The nursing home just called us and told us that your grandmother had a heart attack. She is at the hospital in the Emergency Room getting took care of."

This can't be happening! My only grandmother left and she has to have a fricking heart-attack? Why does this always have to happen to me?! I already lost my other grandmother and grandpa, now her? Why? I can't hold it in anymore. Next thing I know is my face is all wet in tears and I'm sobbing hopelessly. "What? She had a heart-attack? When? What time? Will she be all right?"

The lady replied, "She just had the heart-attack about 30 minutes ago. It looks like she won't make it, but we aren't positive yet. We wish your family the best-"

I cut her off, "I don't have a family! The only person who cared about me was my grandmother and look where she's at now! She's on her fricking death bed!"

She says apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I didn't know...." She trails off. "But listen here, if she does do the unthinkable, you will have all of her life insurance money.... I'm so sorry."

1 day later

"NOOOOO!!!!!!" I just watched my grandmother die right in front of my eyes. I have been sitting in her room since I got the call from Delaney. Right when I hung the phone up, I had drove over as fast as I could, careful not to go over the driving limit. I lived right in the middle of Manhattan so it took me 1 hour just to go 6 miles. It was crazy!

Someone patted me on the back, startling me. "It'll be okay," the person said. I turned around and there stood my mother. My one and only mother. When I saw her, I burst in tears. "I thought you'd never show up!" I started sobbing and when I tried to stop, I just started sobbing more. I could not stop. I was hugging my mom as tightly as I coud now. I didn't want to let go.

The funeral was held on October 15th; 2 days after she passed away, and 3 days after my birthday. Let's just say it wasn't the best birthday I have ever had. The funeral was full of tears. Literally, like the most tears you will ever see. It was horrible.

All of a sudden, the person up front called me up there to say my speech. I didn't write a speech. I was going to say it all from my heart.

"Thank you all for coming to this funeral. It means so much to me." I stop to blow my nose. "You have no idea how much I loved my grandmother. She was everything to me. We talked on the phone every night. And when I watched her pass by in the hospital, it broke my heart. I will never forget that day. And you know what she said right before her heart moniter stopped beeping? She whispered to me, 'I will always love you.'"

*End of Flashback*

So, when my mom showed up a day before my birthday, I was worried. More then worried; scared. I doubted she was here to wish me a happy 18th birthday because that is highly unlike her. I opened the door to let her in. "Hi Mom....Is everything alright?" I ask her.

She looks at me and smiles slightly. "With me, yes. Everything is okay. What about you? Are you feeling okay?" She looks at me with those beautiful eyes of hers in which I inherited from. I look her up and down and noticed she wasn't wearing a coat and it was kind of chilly out.

"Here, come inside. But, it's funny you ask, because I am feeling funny today. Like, I'm all tingly and stuff. Do you know what I mean?"

She looks at me like she feels sorry, "Your first time is always your hardest." And what she means by that, I don't know.

"Umm, what do you mean? My first time what?" I start walking in towards the living room and sit down. She follows me in.

She sighs and says, "Your father didn't tell you did he?"

"My father hates me thank you very much..... What is going on here? Why are you here? He didn't tell me what?" I demanded from her.

She sighs again but this time she waits a little before saying, "Your father and I promised to tell you, I swear."

I stop her. "Just spit it out!"

She looks apologetic. "Sorry. What I meant to say was...You are one of the Forsaken. Part werewolf, part human. There are only so many Forsaken out there, and you are one." She hands me a book. "Read this book before tomorrow. Tomorrow you are going to your old friend Dylan's house and he will teach you what you need to know. But, first you have to read this. The directions to his house are in the front page. It's about 30 minutes from here." She tells me as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Wait, what? A werewolf? You've got to be kidding me. Werewolve's don't even exist. What are you? Crazy?"

I was just about to walk out of the room with the book when my mom says, "I know what he did to you." I stop in my tracks and turn around ever so slowly.

"You know what?" I demanded from her. Only one person knows what my father does to me. And that's me!

She says to me, "I know what your father did to you last year," she sighs a low deep breath. "He raped you last year, and beats you now."
