Please don't kill me? 🙇😅

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stared into his red eyes as shock filled my being.

What did he say? What... did he just... say?

I felt light headed and the room was spinning in front of my eyes until everything suddenly stilled. My heart was slowly stilling inside my chest like the shock of everything was literally killing me. Then everything just became so silent and I couldn't feel anything.

I looked up and found myself alone in a small cabin made out of wood and stone with the floor and walls covered with animal fur to keep out the cold. It was relatively small but warm and comfortable because of the fire burning bright in the hearth on one side of the open cabin.

A young girls laughter cackled through the air gaining my attention at the same time as the wooden door leading out of the old cabin was pushed open to allow a little girl, bundled up in soft furs to keep the cold away from her body, ran into the warmth of the cabin. She squealed in laughter as a larger man ran into the cabin also giving out bellowing laughs and was dressed in furs to keep warm while outside as well.

"Daddy!" The girl squealed in laughter as the tall man managed to catch her, wrapping his large muscled arms around her and picking her up. He pulled the squirming girl to his chest while they both continued to laugh.

An unusual pain filled my chest at the sight of the two. I tried to rub at it but it wasn't helping to make it go away. I then realised that tears were falling from my eyes but I didn't have the strength to wipe them away.

"I've got you little one! What are you going to do now?" The man asked in a growled laugh.

"No! Daddy! Let me go! Let me go daddy!" The child whined before she suddenly stopped moving. She folded her arms over her chest and pouted.

"Aww, come on baby girl, don't be like that." The father also pouted though his green eyes that matched the girls sparkled with adoration and love.

"No." The girl denied as he tried to kiss her cheek.

"Oh yeah? You can't deny me for long girly." The father grinned evilly as he started kissing her all over and tickling sides her making her squeal out with hysterical laughter.

"No! No! Stop it!" The girl squealed just about ready to pee herself from laughing so much.

"Now what is going on here?" A woman's voice asked filled with endearment from the cabins entrance. I took my eyes away from the daughter-father duo and looked to the front of the cabin where a woman with beautiful brown hair and stunning hazel eyes stood watching her family with a smile.

"Mummy! Help me!" The girl squealed out still stuck in her father's arms.

"Oh what are you doing to our daughter you big goliath!" The mother scolded and even though she was basically half of the mans height she still managed to reach up and grab hold of his ear.

"Ow ow! Mummy!" The father whined out childishly going against what his massive frame should have made him act like.

"Now you let go of my daughter and go skin the rabbit so I can get started on dinner." The mother demanded as she pulled his ear down making him bend down to her level.

"Sorry darling but I believe you've fallen into our trap!" The father suddenly grinned making the mothers mouth open in surprise when he suddenly let go of their daughter, who was expecting it all, and they both tackled the woman to the ground.

"Nooo!" The mother squealed out as the father and daughter tag teamed in tickling the woman and making her laugh uncontrollably.

I stood there watching the trio in adoration as tears fell from my eyes and the pain in my chest continued to worsen. I could hardly breath. It felt like I was suffocating in love for the three people I can no longer remember. I watched in silence as they calmed down and started getting ready for dinner and then bed.

The cabin was only just big enough that there was only one bed, which was just a bunch of skins and furs piled up on the floor, where the three of them slept together. I watched as the mother and father cuddled up under the covers naked and kissing lovingly until their daughter run back inside stripping her clothes off and jumping on top of the couple making them all laugh.

They all giggled as the daughter wiggled in between her parents under the covers revelling in the warmth of her parent's body heat. I watched as everything became darker and the trio fell asleep together. I don't know how long passed as I stood there and looked over the loving family but soon the loud quietness of nature was stopped by the sound of a weight crunching the snow in the rhythmic beating of footfalls heading towards the entrance of the cabin.

My heartbeat quicken as the cabins door opened slowly, quietly. At the door stood a man, a man I recognised with his blonde hair and blue eyes, immediate hate filled my being as I watched him stand at the door while red bled over his eyes. They started to glow and I recognised the hunger in his eyes.

I quickly glanced at the family as I heard some moving around. The daughter was getting hot so she had moved out of the covers but was still in between her parents. The cold breeze coming through the open door must have woken her up since she was covered in goosebumps. She opened her tired eyes and sat up looking to the door and obviously wondering why it was open. I watched silently knowing that I couldn't do anything as her eyes widened at the sight of the stranger.

She let out a high-pitched scream that immediately woke her parents up. Her father was the first to his feet with a thick hunting knife he always had at his side held up to the stranger.

I wanted to move. I wanted to shout. I wanted to kill him. But my body betrayed me by not moving.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?!" The father shouted threateningly as his muscles bulged, tense with the preparation to pounce. By the size of his body and the few scars that marred his golden skin, I knew he wasn't a stranger to fighting, but my heart was still in my throat as a knowing made my tears start to flow once again.

Enrique smiled his sickeningly fake smile showing off his shining white fangs before he ran at the father. I tried to cry out and move forward to stop what was happening but I couldn't move... I could only watch as my family was murdered in front of my eyes once again.

I was hiding in the corner as Enrique dropped my half dead mother, who had blood leaking from her mouth, to the ground. She gasped something out, a word I did quite catch but still recognised within my being, but the next word she gasped out I understood as the word 'run' so that's what the young me did.

As Enrique faced me, the child me, I took a chance at getting away. But I didn't get two steps before Enrique had me up against the wall with his fangs embedded into the side of my neck. I didn't get to see what happened next because the next second I found myself back in Enrique's castle surrounded by Nightwalkers and dark mana.

"You..." I gasped out my memories still fresh in my head. "You killed them..."

Enrique grinned like he was proud of what he did, what he has done to an innocent family. My family.

Pure fury filled me, and it was worse than anything I've ever felt before.

I gladly allowed the dark mana around me to flow into me and fill me to the brink with darkness and the urge to murder everything in my sight created chaos in my mind.

"Lanqoyi! (Murderer!)" I shouted with red in my own eyes as I lunged for Enrique's throat. Claws grew out of the tips of my fingers as my fangs speared from my gums. Nothing but the craving need for this mans blood to flow through my fangs pierced my mind driving it into a manic stupor.

But I was stopped

I let out a growling hiss I never knew I could make at Mistress who stood in front of me with a hand pressed to my chest. Muscled arms were wrapped around my torso that I knew were Anon's. Lucas and Hawk held me back by my arms, needing both hands to do hold me, while Galen had an arm around my neck.

"No! Anha addrivat yer! (I'll kill you!)" I shouted at Enrique as I struggled against those holding me back. My eyes looking pass Mistress to Enrique who stood there smirking, which only pissed me off further.

I sucked in more mana purposefully, which made Mistress' eyes widen. "Addrivat mae! (Kill him!)" I seethed as I released the dark mana inside me. My body fell limp from the sudden release of such a large amount of power and mana that had just filled me.

Nothing happened, which I was disappointed about. Then again I guess a creature like Enrique who was a being of dark mana and evil wouldn't, or couldn't, be affected by something that already leaks out from his own skin.

Everyone except for Anon let go of me and I slumped back against his chest, still I glaring at Enrique who kept that goddamn smirk on his face.

I breathed in trying to calm myself as much as I could so that I can continue to think properly and not in a red haze of fury.

"But do you want to know the strangest thing about this whole thing?" Enrique asked all relaxed and calm. I looked down at Athena as she grabbed my hand, which no longer had any claws coming from them, for a second before scowling back up at Enrique.

"What?" I snapped back annoyed by how unaffected he was by everything. I wanted to sink my own fangs into his neck and see how he likes it.

"Do you know how old I am?" He then decided to ask.

What does that have to do with anything? I asked in my head. "I don't care." I told him seriously instead but he just gave me another easy smirk.

"I'm around five hundred years old." He said anyway.

"What does that have to do with anything?" I asked what I was thinking before while scowling and wondering why he was talking about things that mean nothing to me. I feel like this is going to be my permanent face from how much I was staying like that.

"I was only one hundred years old when I killed your parents." Enrique answered and suddenly everything made confusing sense.

Four hundred years... that's how long it's been since my parents were killed... that's how long I've been alive for. I don't remember much about myself because so much time has passed of mundane survival that nothing stayed in my mind long enough for me to remember it all. I woke up when the sun rose, I fell asleep when the sun fell and I just survived, I wasn't living, which means there was nothing worth remembering; day after day after day after day. For four hundred years!

No wonder the villagers abused me and called me a freak of nature. I am a freak of nature. I was living in that village barely aging for so long that of course it would have been noticed by them that I wasn't normal. I also just realised I'm actually older than both Mistress and lady Beatrice as well, though that didn't matter as much as everything else.

"Four hundred years..." I whispered to myself in shock. "But, but I was human before Mistress changed me."

Enrique frowned with obvious thoughtfulness covering his features. "Hmm, maybe I half changed you without meaning to. It was a full moon that night from what I can remember and a pretty strong one at that too, that's why I had to feed so much that day."

"It's impossible to half change someone." Mistress denied also frowning in confusion.

"Well obviously not." Enrique said with a goading smirk that annoyed me.

Mistress looked me over. "Obviously not." She agreed in a whisper, face drawn in an expression I could discern.

"Well now!" Enrique clapped loudly to cut the sudden second of silence. "With that all out of the way and I finally remembered where I know you from, you can have the little whore. As a thank you present for showing me something I've never seen before and for coming tonight. Now then, why don't we go back to celebrating huh?"

And suddenly he was done. Is he serious? Just like that is he leaving like he didn't just utterly annihilate everything I knew about myself, well of what little I knew of myself.

The music suddenly got louder and everyone was back to talking, feeding and having sex. I sighed softly as Enrique faded from my sight. I was too in shock to try to stop him or do anything. Though I was still infuriated, don't get me wrong, I'm never going to forget about this this time.

"We're leaving." Mistress stated before she pushed through the crowd heading for the entrance doors.

I was able to walk on my own without being so weak from the sudden drain of mana so I kept a firm hold around Athena's hand as we followed after Mistress. I looked at the collar around Athena's neck and scowled not liking it hanging around her thin neck. With ease I managed to break it and I dumped it on the floor leaving it there as a sign of my disgust in this place.

Hate still swarmed a dark menace within my stomach as we walked away, but right now thankfully my mind was keeping my heart in check, not allowing the pain I was feeling boiling under the hate to consume and render me senseless or showing anyone how weak I was truly feeling at the moment.

While we were walking out of that suffocating ballroom Anon pulled off his shirt and draped it over Athena, covering her nakedness. She never let go of my hand as we walked silently through the hallways still able to hear the festivity happening within the ballroom that just continued to make me feel cold, sad and sick with everything that could be happening in there.

I could still feel Athena trembling but truthfully, my mind was so busy with the massive amount of information I was just given that I was having trouble concentrating on anything happening around me.

I was suddenly feeling very trapped within the confines of the hallways walls. My stomach was rolling with revulsion as images of my memories that just made themselves known to me replayed through my mind and the knowledge that I was four hundred years old continued to shock me every time I remembered it, I felt like I was going to pass out. I can already see my vision becoming blurry at the edges.

"Alpha?" Anon asked carefully from behind me. He sounded so far away. So quite and barely audible but I could see him. I turned my head, which felt like I was moving terribly slow, to look at him. I saw worry marring his handsome face and I saw his mouth open and close but this time I heard nothing.

A squeezing of my hand had me looking down into the wide grey eyes of Athena as she too seemed to be trying to say something. But nothing was reaching my ears. I looked up to see Mistress and everyone else standing in the hallway still but my eyes looked pass them all to the narrowing hallway.

I suddenly felt like I was suffocating again. My heart was beating so fast in my chest yet I couldn't understand why. I needed air. I needed fresh air and pure, healthy mana, and I needed it now.

"I-I..." I tried to speak but my mind was numbing and soon enough my mind fell in on itself as I finally realised that I was having a panic attack.

My eyes were still open and I was just barely staying awake so I was able to see Anon, but not feel when he picked me up. Everything was moving quickly again and I looked around to see that he must have been running because the walls were moving pass way too quickly. It made my head spin and I started to feel nauseous.

We were suddenly outside but the air wasn't fresh. It still had the pungent smell and ugly feel of the disgusting mana that everything in this castle seemed to be made of.

Alpha! Alpha can you hear me? Anon's voice speared through my mind sounding like he was shouting right into my ear making my head suddenly ache with a pain that had me groaning.

No... I tried to push him away both physically and mentally but everything about me was suddenly weak and sluggish. No.... I whined as finally the darkness started to pull over both my eyesight and mind.

RUN V****! RUN!

It was a scream from my memories.

It was from a voice I recognise now.

It was from my mother.

She said my name...

Alpha! Anon called again but I finally managed to push him away with a final thought as my mind went under.

No... That's not my name... My name's.....

Darkness finally dragged me under cutting me off from everything.

Love you guys, I swear I do!
