monologue

out of all the years i was wondering about my past there has never been a time where i wanted to forget about it and bury it in the ground with the dead. normally i didnt think this way but i could have never guessed what i was going to find out, i couldnt have known and now that i did i wish i didnt. 

                                                              ***

logan sat beside me, the sliver box lightly placed on my lap. my hands were trembling as i held the sliver key. i could feel my heart beating in side my chest. i slowly brought the key drown into the key hole and with a small click it opened revealing all that had been hidden from me.

inside it was and envelop, a golden rose pendant, pictures and an old and worn out journal. i  reached for the letter and began reading it was the letter my mother had been writing in the vision i had of her. it read;

Dear Kassandra,

if you are reading this then it means me and your father are no longer with you and its time you learned the truth as to why. please do not cry or fret we are in a better place watching over you. i trust your grandmother has keep you well and raised you right. 

this letter contains the story as to who you are, let me begin by telling you why me and your father were killed. there is an ancient powerful family, they would not rest until our family no longer lived. they feed off power, darkness and hate. both on your fathers side and mine were two of the strongest clans, we were two of the strongest children. we were promised to each other at birth because of that reasoning. 

out of our marriage came love and you of course. but because of the power in both mine and your fathers blood you were born a threat and the balance of power was broken, therefore the family saw the chance to shift the balance to the side of dark. with every member of the clan they killed they grew stronger until me and your father could not stop them.

you were saved by a spell past down the family to allow the children to live mortal lives until the age  of 20 or untill you found your soul mate . the spell traps and conceals the gifts you were rightfully born with and allows you to be human. as you may have learned your are not of human blood. my dear sweet child you are the last remaining member of the fire vampire clan. you are not alone and it is time you found  your home among your people. the family will awaken once more and attempt to take your life. therefore it is i your blood mother who warns you, it is you who must kill them first and stop thier power mad rampage on our people. 

never lose hope my daughter our goddess will guild you true. 

Love your mother and father 

No matter how hard i tried my hands couldn't stop shaking all i could do is stair at the worn out piece of paper. Logan's hand lightly touched my shoulder his face was stern and unreadable, it was obvious that he read the letter with me . his arm slowly made its way around my shoulders pulling me close to him. 

as if on cue tears began poring down my face and as i tried to process the letter and what it said. my life would never be the same now and i knew that. my mother and father died because of my birth and now i had woken an ancient family that was my responsibility to kill. 

"so what do i do know" i asked Logan through my sobs 

there was a long silence before he spoke  "you do what your mom said."

"that's means i have to leave you" saying the words out loud made me cry even harder

he placed both of his hands on my cheeks and made me look at him in the eyes. he release one hand and with his sleeve he whipped away the tears. "don't be silly, we are in this together now, im not going anywhere."
