Family Reunion
Draven’s Home
Natalia
Man I hated waiting on people to show up, I knew my mom was really bad with directions and that was why I had given her the GPS for Christmas last year. I worried she would end up on the wrong road and I would have to go save her. It didn’t matter if the sun was out or not. I would go save my mom. She was my only mom and I would die for her. Well I would more like fry for her in the sun. I would be a crisppy Natalia. I couldn't help but giggle at the thought.
I still couldn’t believe that she was going to drive that whole way with Dad. They hadn’t really had a bad break up; it was more that neither understood why they went separate ways. Mom had horrible taste in men (Dad not among that list) she always picked the gold diggers. I hated that and wanted to kill them all; I felt that anger in me again and tired to push it away. The drugs were doing a number on my emotions and Elysium said she was working on that.
So here I sat waiting for my mother to appear at the door. We had to go out and buy food so it looked like we ate when in truth we didn’t. The blood had been moved to the little fridge in our rooms. They each had digital locks on them so only we could get to the blood. It was nice to wake up and know the liquid food was right there. I wondered how far they had gotten on the bottled stuff. I had heard news that a woman in Australia had been saved by some. I heard the car before mom got to the door, but I waited for them to ring the bell.
It took them a few moments to finally come to the door, but I didn’t expect anything less. I had been gone for a month two weeks and a day. It is had been a hell of a month. The drugs were doing strange things to my system. The worst was the anger that seemed to vomit out of me whenever something small pissed me off. It was rather sad to be honest, but I couldn’t stop it could I? I did try to fight it but it just made the anger worse. So it was best to vomit it out and deal with the results. I just hope I didn’t end up hurting my mom or dad. Ten minutes later the bell rang and I opened it to be mulled by my parents. It took me almost another twenty to get them to let go of me.
“I’m fine really. Come in and let’s get you showed to your rooms.” I told them with a smile but the moment they both stood in front of me I knew.
“Room dear…” My mom spoke up with a bright smile.
I looked at my mother and my mouth dropped to the floor. I wasn’t shocked to see the blush on my mom’s face or that my dad was puffing up like a bird showing he had finally got back the love of his life. It made me so happy that they finally found a way bck to each other.
“Close your mouth dear you look like a cod fish” Mom chided me as I closed my mouth.
I snapped my mouth shut with an audible snap. I couldn’t believe this but I was so happy I almost lifted off the floor, I might have actually. Draven grabbed my hand and pulled me to him. I hit his hard chest and gave him a silly smile.
“Welcome to my home.” Draven welcomed them both to the house.
“So you two will tell us how you got away from the killers? I want to hear everything!” Mom said as we moved through the house.
I couldn’t lie to my mom; I really did suck at it. I would normally start to twitch and then have a slight giggle attack. NO I am very serious, I am an honest vampire. God what is the world coming to. How the hell would I live through the years if I couldn’t say my name with a straight face? So we left the “everything” to later and showed them to a room. My parents in the house and they were getting busy..Gag much?
“Are you two hungry?” I asked with a bright smile.
“No we stopped right before we got here to eat dinner. I am so grateful that you are alive. So many false leads…” She said with tears brimming her eyes.
I could see the shine of tears in my mom’s eyes and wanted to rip someone’s heart out for hurting her. I felt the heat in my body and hated it. I moved toward my mom and felt Draven pulling me out of the room to give mom and dad time to unpack. I took in a deep breath and looked into his eyes. I knew what he saw in mine…Hate…Pure hate. I didn’t really understand where it came from but it was there. At least my bloodlust hadn’t been tripped this time.
“I can’t do this!” I whispered up to him and knew he would hear me.
He didn’t speak just held me close to him. I wanted to cry into his shirt but knew that it cost too much to put my tears on. I pulled away from him and turned to go to my room, you may ask why we didn’t share? Well I was still a little hurt that he wanted to show me a marriage scene that could break my heart but couldn’t say he loved me. So sue me if I want to distance myself a little. I went into my room and tried to figure out if I wanted to change or if I wanted to just lie down. I was tired most of the time any more, those dam drugs where killing me. I swear I was going to lose my mind soon. I did notice that once the drugs started I had lost a good ten pounds.
