Love
You are supposed to be down with them a voice echoed in my head. You can do it
"No, I can't.."
Why not?
"Because I'm not like them"
You are
"No.."
You possess their blood
"No, I don't..."
You do
"NO, I DON'T!!!!!...... JUST SHUT UP PLEASE!!!"
I was fighting with my own voice my own demons they just don't leave me alone, I hate them. They come every time they make me feel worthless
But what can I say They are absolutely right
"oh! dear are you alright". I snapped out looked straight into the mirror and saw my mother standing there. Something was in her hand but I think it was not that important at this time
"I was just washing up," I said splashing water on my face I turned around and looked at her
in return I only got a big warm smile Are you sure
it was not my mother it was again my demons Think about it
"Lina.....lina!"
"Ah yes"
"Then let's hurry down you don't want to make your grandma wait anymore..Right my dear!!". Her voice had excitement and I know the reason. I nodded and went down my mother didn't follow me. Before entering the room I took a deep breath, and checked my face on the screen of my phone when I was satisfied I went in
I entered and saw a bunch of people. An old woman was sitting in a wheelchair beside the coffee table. Two girls of my age in their own world. A middle-aged man half of his hair white and half still black giving him a smoky look he was with the old woman who is his mother apparently. I also happened to see three women sitting on the couch chatting with Champaign glasses in their hands two of them looked of the same age about around their forties while one was rather young she looked only four to five years older than me or maybe she also of my age I can't tell because of her mature looks
I was so busy observing everyone that I didn't realize now everyone was doing the same with me it took me a minute to realize that room went silent because of me.
"What a fine and beautiful lady are you" said the old woman, If I calculate it right she is supposed to be my grandma. In return for her compliment, i smiled "what is your name?... But mostly importantly who are you!"
Yes I agree that we are meeting for first time and she a old woman this type of questions is expected nothing to make me emotional but tears strated to gather in my emerald eyes "you said I was there blood" I said underneath my breath
Suddenly we were interrupted by the middle aged man "sorry did you said something!"
"Ah!.. No..um-" I tried to say hi but right now it's feels to be one of the biggest and hardest task. I want to run in my room and hide beneath my bed and when they are gone I still want to be there.
"Lina did you said hi to your family!" My mother popped out and in her usual cheerful manner she said to me more like tried to make the environment better
"She is indeed a beautiful lady you bought up her well!" One of the middle aged woman said while getting close to me I think it was my instinct that I quickly got away sensing a great danger from her. Because I know these people
Behind their smile they have the darkest secrets and I can smell the blood behind those masked faces "I don't feel well i ah...um".I am struggling to keep myself at peace in front of them
"Shall we have dinner!". Everyone agreed, got up and went towards the table that was already set up "I am starving!!" Said the old granny one of the maids pushed her wheelchair. And I stood still looking at them
"Come one dear and don't behave badly...."
Even in this freaking state I don't have any other options than following my mother and so I did.
"Just take a corner Celine" I said underneath my breath before looking for a corner spot but to my surprise there was none. Just a center seat between that mature looking girl and an other girl
Maybe I should know there names.
