Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015 11:44:10 -0600 From: rony pineda Subject: Sorcerers, Chapter 4 HAPPY LATE HOLYDAYS TO EVERYONE! here i am with chapter 4. Thanks for reading my story you guys make my day i love every single one of you and i want to kiss you deep and slow.... ok too much? come back D: dont run! ok jokes aside here is the next chapter guys! lets take this out of the way first : If reading this is illegal where you are then stop baby, i wont be held responsible for you ending up in jail. Also this is all fiction so if anything seems familiar to you i swear is a coincidence, i am not stalking you, i swear.... also some people has been telling me that is kind of complicated to follow the story when it changes the POV but i made it that way to challange the reader, when someone's POV changes i always say who it is in the first second or third paragraph but i dont want to write something like VINCENT POV. before changing the POV because it takes the complication and challange of the story. Bear with me ok? ANYWAYS LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED Chapter 4. Remember through the eyes of another. I was almost falling asleep when I heard a light knock at my door. I felt tired both physically and emotionally but the gentleman inside of me knew that it was bad manners to leave someone at the door waiting so I got up and opened the door and man I was glad I did it, because I saw the best thing ever. At my door was Vincent with just a t-shirt and some white boxer-shorts, he looked so damned sexy, I took a moment to admire his well-defined body, we wasn't huge muscled but definitely not scrawny either. It honestly took a lot of my will power to not jump and kiss him right there. `'H-hey, its ok if I come in?'' He said and I realized that I haven't even said a word since I opened the door. `'Of course, of course... please come in'' He held out his hand and after a second I understood that he wanted me to lead him since he didn't seem to have his white cane. So I led him to my bed and we sat down. `'It's everything ok?'' I asked a little worried, it was pretty late to pay a visit and a lot of crazy stuff happened this day so I was honestly worried about his well-being. Even when it wasn't him who was attacked earlier that day. `'I was just worried about you...'' He said, trying to hide under the flocks of white hair that were all over his face and I smiled a little bit. I reached out to his head and rearranged his hair so I could see his face a little bit better. I made him face me and he blushed deeply. `'I'm okay now...'' I said in a deep voice that surprised even myself and I watched him shudder a little bit. `'Y-you know, I haven't told you about what I saw when I used my powers on Seamus'' he said quietly and it was truth, he hadn't had the time to tell us what he saw back at the hospital. `'The boy that died, he was his half-brother, he was telling the truth but I saw something else'' `'What else did you see?'' I asked and he suddenly took my face in his hands as I felt my heart race up like a truck. He smiled a little bit and damn I really wanted to kiss him. `' well it's better if I show you... this is one of my powers, look deeply into my eyes'' he said and I did it. I stared into those deep white pools of nothingness like if there were clouds trapped in his eyes and for some reason I felt his stare... even when I knew that he couldn't see me I felt him staring into my eyes... gosh he looked so beautiful. But then those white clouds started to grow wider and wider every second until they escaped his eyes and his face and started to surround me but even then I was unable to stop looking at him until the moment I was swallowed by those clouds and I found myself in a white space. That's when the dread and fear started to take power over me... I was alone in an empty space, there was nothing but emptiness and I tried to scream but that same emptiness swallowed my voice and turned into nothing. I started to freak out, then the world started to turn grey and started to turn black later... I was going to be swallowed by shadows, why? Why would this happen to me? Why is this... What is going on?! I was on the verge of being swallowed by shadows when I heard his voice. `'Calm down, if you start to feel fear then the fear itself will destroy you'' It was Vincent... his voice was calming and soft and I felt him around me... suddenly I wasn't afraid anymore and the world turned white again... he appeared before me and he hugged me tight... but there was something odd about him, his eyes were blue instead of white now... it was almost like... `'You can see me?'' I asked and he nodded his head. `'This is one of my powers, it is called the Shared Vision. It allows me to share my memories with someone and because is a `shared' power, in exchange of you seeing what's on my mind I take your ability to see and as long as this power is used I can see... oh but don't worry you won't lose your ability to see while you are here or when this is over... it's a win-win situation for you. I learned in one of my new magic classes that there are sorcerers and witches that have something called a `shared power' this powers let you share one of your abilities, gifts, knowledge and more with someone else, you can even share the taste of some weird food with someone but since is a `shared' power, when you use it you take one of the other person abilities. That of course doesn't mean that you lose your abilities or powers when is used. That's why at this moment, Vincent used his ability to share his memories with me and took from me my vision but I was still allowed to see. `'Man... you really are beautiful'' he whispered and looked at my face and then his face grew red when I smiled at him, he let go of my face and took my hand. `'Anyways, let me show you what I saw'' The world twisted around us and then I felt my body disappear until nothing was left behind... but even then I was there holding Vincent's hand. The world kept twisting around us more and more and then it stopped in an image. It was a young blonde boy, he must be at least 8 years old. He was all alone in the living room of a ridiculous huge house just playing some videogame until there was the sound of a truck outside and the boy quickly turned off the game console along with the TV and ran to the door where the truck stopped. A black minivan came behind the truck and stopped in front of the house and out came a man about 30 years old. He had blonde hair with little gray, blue eyes and a pretty nice beard. The boy ran towards him and hugged him and he hugged back. `'You're back'' He said happily and the man who I figured was his father lifted him up in the air and hugged him some more. `'I'm sorry it took so long, Seamus'' he said and then he put him down. The little boy was Seamus and indeed that huge muscular dude was his father, they looked so happy and I immediately noticed the lack of a mother there and then the passenger door from the minivan opened and a beautiful woman with black hair and black eyes came out. She kneeled besides Seamus and said hello to him in a nice way, he hugged her and then started to look around. `'You brought him right? You didn't let him behind right?'' he asked in a worried tone and she laughed a little. `'Your brother is in the back seat, what don't you wake him up?'' she said and Seamus smiled. `'Oh, thanks Miss Bianca'' he said and walked to the minivan. So that wasn't his mother... I see, the moving truck and a lady who isn't his mother coming with his dad and what she called `his brother'... she was his stepmom. But something was weird here. When Seamus opened the door of the backseat of the minivan I noticed a boy around the age of 7 or 8... I see now... his dad must've cheated on Seamus biological mother some years before this with that woman called Bianca. If I'm guessing this right they didn't break their marriage until recently which allowed Bianca and his son to move in the house. Either that or Seamus biological mother died and his father now was able to bring his other `family' into his house. Whatever the case might be, Seamus looked pretty happy with it which was weird to me as well. A children wouldn't be so receptive of this situation, welcoming his father's lover and a new brother home... it make me wonder about if his biological mother was actually a good person for him to not look sad or pissed off about this situation... but then again there's no way I can know what's in his heart. Anyways little Seamus closed the door behind him and stared at the other boy for a moment and I could see his eyes shining with what only could be described as love. He looked so happy to have him there. Seamus patted his head and the boy blinked his eyes lazily and looked around until his eyes fell on Seamus face. `'Wake up lazy brother'' said Seamus and the boy slowly unbuckled his seatbelt and then suddenly threw himself on top of Seamus who received him with arms open. `'Seamy!'' the little boy said and Seamus hugged him tight. `'I'm so glad you are here with me Stuart'' said Seamus and they both smiled. A flash of images filled the air, like pictures flying around the world, each of this pictures was a moment these two brothers shared together. I felt jealous because I don't have any brothers or sisters and right now I was watching them grow up together and sharing a special brotherly bond. Then the images stopped. They seemed to be 11 years old now. Stuart was playing with a soccer ball in the backyard when a couple of hands covered his eyes and he laughed. `'Stop that Seamy!'' he said and Seamus revealed himself smiling at him. Stuart laughed until he saw someone behind Seamus. `'Hi!'' said that person. It was a boy with dark skin and I knew immediately who he was, even if he looked younger I knew that this boy was Marcus. Stuart quickly hid himself behind his brother. It looks like he was really shy but Seamus took his hand and put him in front of him. `'Stu, this is my friend Marcus you can call him Marc. Marc this is my brother Stuart but don't call him Stu, only I can do that'' he said and Stuart looked to the ground with a face red in embarrassment but Marcus just took the soccer ball in his hand and offered it to him. `'Let's get along shall we?'' he said with a smile and Stuart looked up, smiled shyly and took the ball from his hands and then I could see it clearly. That look that even in an early age can be put into someone's eyes. The sparks flying between them were beautifully and painfully obvious and I laughed a little inside. The flash of images passed through again. Some images then showed something impressive. Seamus was walking to the kitchen one day to make himself a sandwich, Stuart was sitting in the table when suddenly he sneezed and a blast of air came through the window, the stove lit itself on with a huge fire rising to the air and the fridge doors opened and food came flying out scaring the crap out of both. It was amazing... Stuart showed signs of being a sorcerer. The images came flying back. There were several images of happiness but there were also painful ones. Their parents fighting were the most of the painful ones and oddly enough there were some images that were pitch black. Like there was nothing in there, it seemed... weird. I could hear voices and with every image I came to understand everything. Stuart's mother cheated on Seamus's father with her previous husband. It got so bad that they got divorced and started a legal fight until they came to an arrangement. She would move out and take her son and he would stay with his own child. Therefore Seamus and Stuart got separated in tears. They were at least 13 or 14 when this happened so it wasn't that long ago. It also seemed like Stuart would move with his mom back to his biological father's place. Marcus who was painfully in love with Stuart promised Seamus that he would try his best to make sure he was alright since Seamus's dad forbid him to get close to Stuart's home, so Marcus promised to look after him. And even though they would see each other at school Seamus heart grew bitter and angry with the world. It all got worse the night that the phone ringed and Seamus's father heard the news about Stuart's mother. She died in a crash but even then his father told Seamus to stay away from his house, it got to the extent where his father would lock him in his room to make sure he would stay away from there... meanwhile Stuart started to miss school more and more and when he showed up he had the saddest face someone could ever see but he would tell Seamus not to worry about him. This went for a long time. One day he had enough. Seamus wanted to see his brother and hold him and make sure he was okay. The next day he was going to see his brother and be with him because he loved him. Even when Marcus told him that he was making sure that everything was fine it wasn't fine with Seamus and he decided that the next day after school he would go to see his brother and be with him. Hug him, kiss his forehead, be with him and love him like the old days. ...that was the day when they found Stuart's corpse massacred in the football field. I blinked and in a flash I was back in my room with Vincent in front of me. He had a sad face and I had to put the same face too. `'I see now... it also makes sense that Seamus would be an asshole... it was his way to let go of all the anger and pain'' I said with a faint voice and Vincent nodded his head and just sat there in silence. `'Hey, what about those dark pictures that went flying around when we were there'' I asked trying to get the mood going in a different way but somehow Vincent seemed to grow tense and nervous. `'Those... those are things I didn't want you to see, they didn't had anything to do with the case so, don't worry about it'' he said after a while of keeping quiet and I wanted to ask but he seemed to be really cautious about the subject so I decided to drop it and we settled down on a quiet atmosphere. `'By the way... I heard... because the word travels fast in this mansion but I heard that tomorrow is your birthday so...'' he said and started to search for something in the bed's sheets, his hands moved closer and then he found what he was looking for... he was looking for my hands, he took them and moved closer to me and... oh gosh he smelled so good, and he was blushing so much and it was so amazing I could die. `'...Happy birthday'' he said in a small husky voice and holy crap I didn't knew he was capable of letting out such a sexy voice but that was out of my mind the moment I felt his lips on mine. Holy hotcakes he was kissing me! His lips felt firm and warm and in my surprised state I opened my mouth just to grasp a little bit of air because man, he left me breathless. But he probably took it as some sort of permission to slip his tongue on my mouth and well, I wasn't going to reject him so I kissed him back. Soon our tongues were struggling for domination and soon he won. I found myself laying on the bed with him on top of me kissing me deep and slow and I decided that I liked to be pushed down like this...Hmm... weird I never thought of myself as that kind of guy but it just felt so good. It seems like I need to put some sort of back story here. Let me tell you about my sexual experiences or well... the lack of it. I've been kissed before by another boy and even went as far as to make out without some layers of clothing but I've never done anything else with anybody. So when I felt his hard (and I might add, kind of big) boner being pressed against mine I freaked out a little. But the thing is that, he never pushed it any farther, he just kissed me and ran his hands on my hair and even thought his boner was pressing against me he never pushed it farther than that and I was glad. We pulled apart and he ran his soft fingers through my face, I guess it was so he could `see' me. Then he smiled and a hard blush was in his face. He wasn't actually shy but I guess he was waiting for a reaction. `'Wow'' I said and he let out a small laugh that turned into a big laugh and when he stopped he held my face again. `'I wanted to do that ever since I met you... would you date me please?'' he said without even stuttering and I didn't knew which part surprised me more, the part about not stuttering or the part about him wanting to date me. `'L-like b-boyfriends?'' I said, not doing a great job with the stuttering, damn stutter... damn Maroon 5. He laughed again, man that laugh! He was being so sexy I might as well ask him to make me his right here... well not I wouldn't do that. `'Yes like boyfriends, if you'd like that of course'' he said and I quickly nodded and said a breathless `yes' to him. I don't know how long we kissed after that, but he soon had to go back to his room because there was a chance that Martha would be checking on everyone to see if they were ok and asleep. He left and I found myself falling asleep, I didn't had any dreams that night even when there were a ton of questions and things that happened that day. Who left that present there? Before the present was left there nobody besides my mother and father knew when my birthday was going to be. My mother would never leave a present in such a weird way, and my father was still in jail... right? So who left it there? The contents of the box were bothering me even more. The present box contained a single gold ring. It didn't had any stones or any markings, it was just a plain golden ring. Madame took it because she wanted to check for any curses or magic in it. Still a golden ring meant nothing to me I didn't know why anyone would want to give it to me. It was just plain weird. Anyways I woke up extra early that morning, I got up and took a quick shower, nobody seemed to be up and I enjoyed the quietness of the mansion. I got to the kitchen and I looked around. It must've been at least 6:00 am. Nobody was up and as I was looking I got a great idea. `Hey, let's make some pie!' thought to myself and I quickly started to grab everything I needed by eight o'clock I had a pretty nice looking key lime pie on the fridge and the first person to wake up after me showed up. It was Moon-Shine. `'Oh... Good morning'' he said rubbing his eyes and if I didn't had a boyfriend already... I would've totally jumped on him, because damn, big muscled guy on a tank top and some sweat pants, kind of hot! But now Vincent was my boyfriend and I had to control myself... Don't look at me like that I'm a guy after all! I looked down and I noticed he was barefoot. `'You know, you should really use shoes on the kitchen'' I said and he grumbled in annoyance. `'I hate wearing shoes in the morning, I'd rather feel everything with my skin'' he said and sat down on the counter. Well I guess that's another wolf thing. He started to smell around like a dog. `'Hey, something smells good'' he said looking at the oven and then at the counter and then at the fridge... interesting. `'I made a pie, we can eat it after breakfast'' I said and he smiled a little, I guess he liked pie. He suddenly got up from the chair and made me jump a little bit. He looked at me and then he scratched his cheek. `'Damn, I almost forgot'' he said in a small voice, and he was... Blushing? Wow the sight of a young man blushing was kind of cute really. But I couldn't look at that too much because he got close to me and then he quickly kissed me in the cheek. `'Happy birthday'' he said smiling and I rubbed my cheek in surprise. I smiled a little bit, he wasn't being romantic, he was just being nice, he didn't knew how to be nice and he was trying, I guess that means that he honestly liked me. I feel bad to compare him to a dog all the time but his animal instincts were always spot on to those of a dog. He kissed me like a dog would lick the face of someone he liked. I guess this means he really thinks of me as a friend. `'Thanks, Moon Shine'' I said with a smile and I patted his head. His eyes suddenly got... Big, and not like dilated big but honestly and abnormally big... then in a second the smell of flowers filled my nostrils and his whole body started to grow with hair, his size grew smaller and a small cloud of smoke with the smell of flowers surrounded him. Suddenly I was patting the head of a black wolf and I realized that I just witnessed a shape-shift in front of my eyes. I was patting a huge oversized wolf in the head and he seemed to be enjoying it. He let out his tongue and let out a whimper of satisfaction. `'Damn'' I said smiling and I kneeled in front of him to keep patting him and started to scratch his ears and his neck and then he suddenly looked at me surprised and jumped away from me. `'Sorry! I am not supposed to be in this shape inside the mansion'' he said without even moving his mouth, I wondered why was I able to listen to his voice but I guess I would have to ask that another day. `'Hey it's ok, I won't tell anyone it'll be our secret ok?'' I said and the wolf looked around and then nodded his head before the same smell of flowers started to surround the kitchen and a second later I was seeing him in his human form standing in the kitchen... naked! I looked away quickly but hot damn it, I need to go and kiss Vincent right now to get this out of my system because Moon was hot as hell and wasn't... well.. Small either. `'Sorry about that'' he said and I heard him getting dressed. `'Just, don't pat my head again okay?'' he said and I heard him open the fridge. `'Hey you sly little jerk! Don't touch the pie!'' I yelled at him while trying to keep him away from the pie and I heard the rest of the house coming downstairs I knew this was going to be a long day specially when Samantha threw herself onto me hugging me all over. I was glad I was able to put the pie on the fridge because I lost my balance and fell to the floor. `'That looks like fun, go children!'' Said Sean and next thing I knew Pumpkin, Maria and Julian threw themselves on top of Samantha and of therefore (of course) in top of me. I felt the air of my lungs going all out but I couldn't help but to laugh at it. It was the first time in a couple of years that I got to spend my birthday surrounded by lots of people. Ever since my powers started to manifest on a bigger scale my father forbid the visit of other children in his house and therefore my birthday were always kind of lonely. But now I had all this people around, it felt kind of nice to have them all of top of me wishing me a happy birthday, even if they were taking all the air in my lungs. Yeah... I felt happy... but even then... why did I felt so uneasy? I mean, sure the image of the birthday box and the golden ring came to my mind but I tried to push it away... after all. What was the worst that could happen? ... `'Miss Kinkel, how is that report coming along?'' Said my boss with a stern voice and I had to hide my phone away faster than the Flash because I just couldn't get caught again playing Candy Crush while I was supposed to be working. I smiled at my boss and handled him the papers on the desk. `'Here they are boss and please I insist. Call me Tamara'' I winked at him but he just raised an eyebrow at me and took the papers with him. `'Thanks Miss Kinkel. After you finish what you're doing, you are free to go'' he said and turned around to leave. I felt a little bit disappointed, I've been making advances on my boss ever since I started working at this office. I mean yeah the guy was like 15 years older but as he turned around to look at me one more time and winked an eye at me before leaving I couldn't help to think `Damn, I really want to tap that. `'H-hey Tamara!'' I heard a whiny nasal voice calling me from behind and my good mood disappeared faster than Brittney Spears virginal looks after that deep slow kiss with Madonna. `'What do you want Johnson?'' I said in the most annoyed voice I could get out of my mouth and returned to my computer to finish my work while paying the minimal attention to him. `'Well I was wondering, if we could go for a drink tonight?'' he said. Fuck, this shit again? He asks every damn single day, I wonder if my boss feels the same way about me with all of my `flirts' but then again I never tried as hard as this guy. Fucking Johnson man. He is not an ugly guy, he is just your average blonde 26 year old man but he can be so pushy sometimes is scary. `'I'm sorry Johnson but I really need to get a good sleep tonight if I want to finish all of my work before the end of this month'' `'Oh come on! It will be fun, we can go for a drink, to a club and later something else'' he said walking towards me and pressing his crotch on my desk and I slammed my keyboard hard and loud. `'Stop or I will report you again, are we clear?'' I said in a stern voice and his face grew red with madness. He left without saying anything and I took a deep breath. Yes I admit that I'd been taking advances at my boss, but when I remember that the first time I did it he smiled at me and complimented me for my looks on a flirty way. He'd actually responded when I threw compliments at him and even now he winked at me when I asked him to call me by my name. There was an actual response, at some extend there was some kind of fun game of flirt going on there but with this other asshole... well that was another story. The thing he just did was just bad taste, I'd been turning him down for months now and I honestly hate him. Last week he tried to pin me to a wall and kiss me but I slapped his face hard and threatened to report him and it didn't work obviously just look at what he did right now... Fuck he just creeps me out. I finished the last bit of work I had for the day and I turned off my computer... it seemed like everyone left already so I gathered my things and I prepared myself to leave but as I was walking towards the exit I was pushed towards a small conference room and I hit my head on a nearby wall. I felt the world twist around me as I got dizzy and sat on the floor for a second to try to stop the world from spinning. I look at the door and I saw Johnson closing it behind him. `'W-what are you-`' I felt the words that came out of my mouth useless as I saw him starting to remove his belt. I knew exactly what he was trying to do and I quickly got up ignoring the world spinning around me and the knot on my stomach. I was being pushed by fear. `'Oh no, no...'' he said and grabbed me by my arms and threw me to another wall and I fell to the floor. `'You are going to be a good girl for me right?'' he said and I tried to crawl away screaming for help but he grabbed my ankles and pulled me towards him. `'Please stop!'' I yelled at him. `'Don't do this, please!'' he undid his pants. `'Please I beg of you stop! Johnson stop!'' he lifted my skirt. I was so scared. Dear god I didn't know what to do I didn't had the strength to push him away and he started to rub himself on my underwear. It was horrible I wanted to throw up. I tried to kick him, scratch him, punch him, bite him but he didn't seem to care. It was like he was possessed or something. When he started to take my underwear I heard a loud sound and I opened my eyes to see my boss hitting him with a fire extinguisher on the head and then dropped it on the floor. He quickly took my hands and helped me getting up. `'Are you ok?!'' he said with a worried and desperate tone. I always thought I was a strong woman, nothing could break me... but I just couldn't help myself and I buried myself on his chest and started to cry my heart out. `'H- he tried... He tried to...'' I couldn't even say it. It was terrible, it was awful I was so afraid even when I knew I was safe. `'I'm sorry I couldn't be here sooner Tamara. I forgot my keys and I came back when I heard you screaming'' he said with sadness and hugged me back and stroked my hair. `'You are safe now, let's go and call the police'' he said and then I heard another loud sound. I saw my boss falling to the floor, at some point he Johnson got up and took the same fire extinguisher that my boss used on him and hit him in the head. He took me and lifted me up to throw me to the desk and once again started to take out my clothes. `'I've been wanting you since the first day I saw you'' he said with a shaky and scary voice. I saw blood dripping from his forehead but he still wanted to do this. I yelled again and heard my boss mumbling trying to get up. Johnson didn't seem to care, he took hold of my hands and spread my legs apart. I tried to resist but his strength wasn't normal. Not for an average man like him. I cried hard and yelled for help and suddenly... Johnson stopped, his eyes grew wide and he stepped away from my body and I thought that he finally came to his senses and that made him stop but that thought went flying out of the window when I saw the blood coming out of his mouth. He turned around and I saw the huge knife sticking out of his back. And then I finally saw her. At the door was a blonde girl, she probably was around 15 years old, she had a cheerleader uniform from a school I've never seen before and a serious expression on her face. She got closer to Johnson and took another knife out of her skirt and stabbed him on the gut Johnson screamed out loud and she punched him in the throat making it harder for him to scream in pain. He fell to the ground and I couldn't see him anymore from where I was but I did saw he girl kneeling by him. She took the knife out of his gut out and bring it back down. And then again and again and again. She stabbed him many, many times even after he stopped screaming and I couldn't move. At some point my boss was able to recover and got to my side to cover my eyes but it was useless... She was finished. She got up, she was all bloody and she was panting, she tried to rearrange her ponytail but ended up painting her hair red with blood. Then she looked at me and pointed the knife at me. I thought that I was her next target but she just spoke in a cold voice. `'Just this time I'm saving you'' and then she pointed the knife at my boss. `'You treat her well, she is a strong woman and deserves it'' she said still panting and then ran towards the door, later we heard the fire alarm going off and we knew that she sent the police to help us. My head was a mess... I didn't know what just happened but I did know that, whoever that girl was, she saved me and she smelled like flowers. ... `'Apparently the witnesses says that the murder was a high school girl, around the age of fifteen, they also say that they were saved by said murderer who-`' Mom turned off the TV and trembled a little shaking her head. `'That is awful, I don't want to hear that when today is supposed to be a happy day'' she said and she kneeled to kiss my cheek. `'Because is your birthday Henrik!'' she said and hugged me and I laughed. We were sitting in the living room, waiting for everyone to appear, they said they had a surprise for me. `'I bet is a cake'' I said with sarcasm referring to the `surprise' and she laughed and slapped my arm. `'Well if it is a cake then you are going to show them how happy you are and say thanks!'' she said and I feign to be hurt. `'Oh mother dear, I will be so happy I'd cry'' She laughed and slapped my arm again then the room grew quiet. `'By the way, Dr. Conwell has been acting odd around me'' she said and my body grew tense then she took my ear and pulled it. `'I can't believe you used me to get into your classmate's hospital room!'' she yelled and pulled my ear. `'Mom stop, that hurts damn it!'' I yelled and she pulled once again. `'Don't you swear at me boy!'' after a couple of minutes of being yelled by my mom for behaving like a trickster she sighed deeply. Then she told me that Dr. Conwell might be trying to ask her to a date but she turned him down, then she looked at me and smiled and I smiled back... I knew what this meant. She was asking for my permission to go out with him. She has been alone for a long time now. Even when she was with my dad and I knew that they didn't love each other anymore, it was after they found out I had powers that they started fighting, my dad called me he devil and she defended me. Then she started to see all his flaws and they fought a lot. When he burned down the house it was over, she tried her best to made me her world and protect me, keep me fed and give me lots of love, she never dated anyone because she was focused on me. But now was different, she had a another job and we were living in a huge house and there was a more than decent man who liked her but even then she was asking for my permission, because I was his everything. I smiled and hugged her. `'It's ok, he is a good man'' I said and she hugged back. Then the door opened and everyone came inside. `'W-we have your surprise'' Said Vincent blushing warmly, he looked so handsome with that smile of his, I got up and go closer to him and took his hand. He smiled and hugged me. `' It's a cake!'' said Pumpkin smiling and I laughed and I heard my mom laughed as well. `' It's a pumpkin cake!'' said Maria with Julian who looked at me with his beautiful eyes and go closer to hug me. `'Happy birthday'' he said and then everyone else joined. I had so many people who cared about me now. I felt so loved, so wanted, so... In place with everyone, and you know? Loved them too, every single one of them were part of my huge happy family and I loved them, I wanted to be with them forever now. I felt like nothing could go wrong as long as they were by my side. Yes... I didn't know... At that time I didn't know... That this family was going to disappear little by little, one by one... Killed by disaster itself. ............................................... welllll I HOPE YOU LIKED THIS ONE Guys REMEMBER TO DONATE TO THE SITE! this website is an amazing place to help writers who dont have a prorper place to put their ideas! so please donate- http://donate.nifty.org/donate.html ALSO SOME IMPORTANT NOTES THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: UGH I was sick to my stomach when i wrote the almost-rape scene.
