The Werewolf's Vampire Mate
Chapter 98: Lucinda.

Chapter 98: Lucinda.

Cassius.

Running for your life.

That is what I did. Gyles made me promise to leave. That was the agreement if anything ever happened. I had to make it out alive.

I always thought he was messing around.

I didn’t know how dangerous it was to be a vampire. He wasn’t always like the rest of his family. The moment he became one of them, I saw the change. He was different, stronger, more beautiful.

I should’ve known how I felt about him. it took me a while to understand my emotions. He watched me grow. He cared for me, never let me suffer for all the years I have known him. now he is gone.

Dead.

I know it even though I haven’t seen the bodies.

How is he going to come out of it? he walked to the screams bravely. Gyles has always been brave. That is one of the reasons why I love him.

I run through the woods even though my legs hurt. I run until I can’t run any more. There is nowhere for me to go. I have no one. They were my family and in just one day, they are all gone.

I don’t know how long I run. It’s been hours since I last saw him. I don’t know what to do. I want to go back home, confirm that they are really dead. From what happened, me going to confirm will just be torture. I don’t want to see his body. That would be the last thing I remember of him.

Right now, I am hiding out in an abandoned cabin in the woods. Gyles and I have snuck away here a couple of times. There are memories we have shared in this place, now all they bring to me is pain.

I stay in the cabin for two days, two days of pain and anger. Angry with myself for thinking my happiness would last. I thought I had found my forever and in the blink of an eye, I lost it all.

I go back to the house. The place I had called home for years. I just have to make sure, see things for myself. I need to know if he is dead. I didn’t even get to say goodbye to him.

Now he is gone.

Everywhere looks straight out of a horror movie. There is blood everywhere. Their bodies already ash. They burnt them all, to get rid of the evidence. Now I am all alone.

The moment I see it, I know he is gone. On the hardwood floor in the family room. The chain I got for him. the chain he vowed to never take off. The tears start to fall out of my control because how do I go on. How do I continue living?

I don’t want to live in a world where he doesn’t exist.

I don’t want to go on without him.

’’Killing yourself won’t bring them back,’’ I turn around to the voice and it is a lady. A very beautiful lady with the darkest eyes I have ever seen. She is dressed in black pants and a white shirt. Her hair is up in a ponytail. She walks closer to me with a warm smile.

’’Who are you?’’ I cower, taking a step away from her.

Her smile is welcoming. Her eyes are kind. ’’Someone that wants to help you,’’ she tells me, and I sense the honesty in her words.

’’How can you help me? I have lost everything.’’ I shout out all the anger that has been pent up within.

’’Gyles wouldn’t want you to die. He died fighting for you. Never forget that.’’

How does she know Gyles?

’’He was a special friend.’’

She answers my question even though I never asked. I don’t know what is happening. I don’t know what to do but I will never trust another person. I will never be in that state of vulnerability.

Never again.

********************

’’The Elis are angry with you,’’ she continues, taking slow strides towards me.

’’You all knew that I couldn’t be controlled. You made me who I am today. so let me finish my task.’’

She stops walking.

A frown on her face.

’’There is a contention, there shouldn’t be any killing.’’

I laugh ’’I don’t give a fuck about a contention. I don’t care about those monsters. I will destroy them all.’’

This is all the anger I have carried my whole life. the only reason I have survived this long. Nothing can kill me at this point. I am not even scared of anything.

My will to survive is stronger than all the threats.

’’You know what will happen... I have tried to understand you and all your actions. You got the people that hurt your family. You got your revenge. The rest is just unnecessary.’’

She doesn’t understand. No one understands. The day I lost Gyles. I lost everything. I lost all the good that only he saw. Now they all think I can just put it back on like a fucking switch.

Being numb to everything.

’’Are you here to kill me?’’ I ask her because I am over this conversation.

She shakes her head ’’You know we don’t kill our kind. You were one of us. I am here to bring you back home.’’

’’Your home is not my home. Your fucking cult, you all think you are doing good. Like you are some kind of messiah. I will never sit back and act as if I belong with you all.’’

She sighs ’’You know what is going to happen Cassius. You know how this will end.’’

She looks pained. Almost like it hurts her to see me. I know the relationship we had. She loved me; I know that much but she had to know that I was beyond love. The moment she found me, the look in my eyes; should’ve told her that I couldn’t be saved.

’’You have to stop chasing me, let me go.’’ I walk over to her until I am directly in front of her. I grab her hands in mine, she doesn’t fight me or push me away. This is the only person from the Elis that doesn’t want me dead. She is the only one that believes I could be saved.

She is the fool.

’’If you are not here to kill me, then I suggest you leave,’’ a tear slides to her cheek. I reach for it and she closes her eyes. Lucinda was the only one that believed in me. she is still the only one that believes in me.

What is the point in believing in me when I don’t even believe in myself?

’’They are coming for you.’’

She is talking about the rest of them. Funny enough I have been expecting them for a while now. Unlike them, I will kill anyone that gets in my way. The Elis are strong, I should be afraid of them.

I am not afraid of anything.

I was one of them—they trained me. I can win over anyone.

’’Let them.’’

She sighs ’’I wish you could let go of all the anger. That is the only way you would be free.’’

I shake my head; she opens her eyes and watches me with sadness ’’I will never be free as long as I live.’’

If only she had let me kill myself all those years ago. I wanted to die; I was ready to go with him, but she convinced me to fight. She convinced me to get the revenge I deserved.

Now she is here trying to convince me to let go. It should’ve stopped with the people that killed them. That was the plan, but I didn’t get the satisfaction I thought I would once they were dead. I didn’t want anyone to have to go through that kind of pain. I wanted the world to be free of their kind. I still want that and nothing Lucinda says will change that.

The only way I will let go is death.

’’Come back with me, let go of all this hate. I will convince the rest of them. You will go into hiding for a couple of years. Please.’’

She means well. I know she does but I don’t want that. I don’t want to go into hiding. I should’ve been done with this town. This is taking a lot longer than it usually does.

’’I am not done.’’

I am sure they don’t even know she is here. She came here to try and convince me to turn myself in. Almost like she never learns from her mistake.

Kill me.

I know she can hear my thoughts. She heard but she wouldn’t listen. Just like in the past. The only way this will stop is if she kills me.

Kill me.

’’You know I can’t.’’

I raise a brow ’’You can’t or won’t?’’

’’I won’t’’

She turns around and I watch her walk away from me like she was never even here in the first place. Lucinda is a distant memory. She is a friend. A person I had come to trust.

I wish she could see my intentions.

I wish she understood.

No one understands.
