Sabaria's childhood PART 2 (btw when the text is like this it means she's talking in her head)
My mother walked up behind me and pulled the curtains shut. Then after a few minutes she said,
"Sabaria,your father did the only thing he could do. He wouldn't have been able to live in the same house as one of THEM."
"Mommy,what do you mean THEM?" I asked haltingly.
""I'll tell you when you're older!" she snapped back. I flinched,unused to the tone of voice my mother used.
Four depressing years later,my mother still hated me for what my father had to do to escape from being around me. The day after my Dad killed himself,the Vampyre Council made us leave our Upper-class lifestyle to move into a run-down hovel in the Forest. Everyday my Mother hit me at least once,and when I asked her why she did such a thing,her only reply was,
"Because of what you are." The day of both my Father's death and my 10th birthday arrived. I woke up thinking that it was just going to be another day filled with beatings and questions that go unanswered. I walked into the small kitchen and began making dinner. My Mother walked in after getting out of the bathroom and said with a weird smile on her face,
"Sabaria,dear, you don't have to make dinner tonight. Come here,I have something important to tell you." I looked at Mother suspiciously,she had never called me 'dear' or told me that I didn't have to do something. I reluctantly walked over to her and tensed up,expecting a beating. All she did was walk outside with me,and into the forest clearing nearby. Then she turned and said,
"It's time I told you."
"Told me what?" I inquired. My Mom replied,
"Time I told you what you really are." I looked at her questioningly,she always refused to tell what I was,no matter how many times I asked her.
"Sabaria Kuraino," I paid close attention now,for whenever she called me by my first and last name,it usually meant something important, "what you are is...an Angel Of Death." I gawked at her,my brain slipped into shock. Wait...an angel of what?! What am I? A Grim Reaper substitute? My mother continued,
"That means you can you can walk out into the sun without getting hurt,it means you have none of the Vampyre weaknesses." She walked towards me and whispered in my ear,
"Since the sun can't kill you,I will." And with that she pushed me down on the ground,flipped me over so I got a face full of forest dirt. She pulled out a dagger she had hidden in her pocket and sliced my shirt open,exposing my back and wings. I struggled, but she did not relinquish her hold. She then started to carve the Vampyric symbol for 'Die' (the picture will be at the bottom) between my wings. I screamed in pain as the blood soaked the remainder of my shirt and began to pool on the ground around me. After Mother was done carving that into my back she got up and flipped me over so I could see her. She stared at me,she still had that creepy smile on her face, and said,
"Now watch while I am rid of this world,and you with it!" At the end of her sentence she slit her throat and thrust the very same dagger she used to hurt me, into her heart. I lay outside,crying and hoping that this was all just a horrible dream,but the pain and blood was all too real. After what seemed like an hour I noticed the bleeding had stopped. I then tried to at least move my devil-like tail but found that all my strength had left me.
I thought to myself Hmmm...Mother said that I don't have to shield myself from the sun. I suppose I have no choice of getting back into the house before dawn. I really hope she's right about the immunity from the sun thing. If not, at least then I'll be free from all the pain. I don't know how long I lay there, but eventually the horizon was growing lighter. The sun was coming up! I wondered what would happen to me when suddenly the sun burst through over the treetops,instantly burning my mother to ashes. I clamped my eyes shut,waiting for the worst to happen. Something did happen,but it didn't hurt. The light of the sun caused something strange to happen,a mark appeared on my wrist. It was three black bands going around my left wrist. I turned my wrist over,examining it and as I was looking at the three bands,I felt a strange twitching on my back. My wings,claws, and tail were retracting back into my skin! I found the strength to sit up and touch my back and gasped when I felt a scar on my back, What the....my wounds have healed?! I thought to myself.I lost consciousness,feeling what little strength I had somehow gained,leave me.
