The Scarlet Queen

Chapter 14 - Fanged Monster

Vanessa's POV

As soon as I entered my bedroom to see how my mate was coping with the hair cut, I immediately froze as I stared at them both. There was no way. There was no possible way for her to remember her past life, unless there was a very strong connection between the two of them. They had the same face, but Alexandra was a little different seeing as she had different coloured eyes which were a dark glowing blue as some tears started to flow down her pale cheeks. 

"She is my daughter, isn't she?" my only good friend asked me. I didn't know how to reply...I felt like a fucking monster. I wiped her memory, but it came back because of her daughter. Her first daughter was somewhere in this castle and I needed to find her to tell her the news, or Alexandra could tell her. "Say something!" she suddenly shouted at me, making me jump slightly. 

"I didn't know Addison was your daughter...-"

"Of course she fucking is! We got the same face shape and the same nose! Where is my other daughter? Where is she? Take me to her!" Alex cut me off in a very demanding tone. A heavy feeling then entered my chest as I watched her get more distressed. My mate wrapped her arms around her poor mother, giving her a heartfelt hug that damaged me even more. I truly felt like a monster. I wish I wasn't so fucking vile to the humans. 

"Come on, mum. Let's go and find her..." Addison told her softly, before Alex nodded and wrapped her arm around my mate's waist, as she began to walk out of the room and past me. After they left, all I could do was nothing. I lifted my head up and bared my fangs which were elongating due to emotions running through my mind, I stared at the mirror which was facing me. My eyes were streaming tears, making me remember what kind of monster I was. 

I reminded myself of my own mother who died from poison that wasted no time in killing her within seconds on her death bed. She was far older than me, so her body had already weakened due to its long life of living. I was with her when she died. I didn't know where my father went, but I knew he wasn't there. My mother told me to have revenge on the humans for...for...

"FUCK!!" I found myself cussing out loud due to the anger in my veins. My mother made me this way! My own fucking mother...

"Are you alright, your majesty?" I heard a small familiar female voice ask me from behind. "Zoe, leave me be." I ordered her. "Are you sure, your majesty...-"

I hissed loudly at her, as I stared at the mirror. I then heard her run off. Good. 

Oh, what was wrong with me?! I was my own person! I shouldn't be like my stupid mother! She ruined me! She made me watch her torture a fucking innocent human who did nothing wrong! I begged for her to stop but those awful choice of words stuck inside my head; "Once you are older, you will understand that humans are weaknesses." 

I slammed my hand into the mirror, making the glass shatter everywhere. I continued to punch the mirror after that, getting all of my anger out. My bones can't break. I was invincible. Powerful. 

Once I was done with making a nice hole in the wall, I collapsed onto the floor. "Your majesty!" another familiar voice called me.

"Oh please leave me be! I had enough of being Queen!" I told the person who called me, my voice cracking. I then let my body lay itself down on the glass, causing the glass to cut through the back of my dress and into my skin. 

"No, your majesty. I am going to get Addison and a nurse." 

"Addison doesn't need me, nor does her poor mother!" I cried, trying to tell the person to leave me here. I won't die anyway...

"What's going...Vanessa?! What the fuck happened?" my mate then asked me, causing the emotional pain to go much deeper into my dead, lifeless heart. 

I felt her pick me up, putting me on her lap as she used her hand to stroke my cheek in a soothing manner. "I am done with torturing humans..." I started to mumble, losing some consciousness. 

"I know..." my mate tried to sooth me some more. "No, you don't know. You don't know my past life...my mother made me this way." I told her, looking up to see her beautiful eyes.

Then, I found myself closing my eyes...

// oof.
