"Take my hand my heart and soul because it is meant for you"
Mary woke up to the sound of glass being shattered in the kitchen she rose quickly to see what was going on. Grabbing a baseball bat from the side of her bed running out of her room, to see Mathias viciously biting and growling into a raw piece of meat that was in the fridge during that time. Blood was on his face, hands, and body Mary slowly walked up to him a little terrified of what she was seeing.
"Mathias we start school in an hour. Why are you eating raw meat and covered in blood? This is so sudden I have never seen you like this before."
Mathias stared at her emotionless his eyes pitch black Mary felt fear looking at him."This has nothing to do with you Mary just get ready for school."
Mary shook her head "Mathias you can get sick from eating raw things, we can both go to school together maybe we can sit next to each other-"
"Just stop talking your giving me a headache, I should have never married you. I said get ready for school" His tone was blunt and aggressive, she could feel anger starting to rise out of him.
"What's going on why are you acting like this your being arrogant so suddenly you're hurting my feelings."Mary's lips started to tremble.
Mathias's eyes lowered realizing what he was doing he threw the meat out in the trash as he kneeled down hugging her softly "I'm so Sorry Mary but I have to eat you now" His teeth sharpened lunging at her.
Mary started to cry feeling herself slip away into her dream gasping for air and waking up to a nightmare. Mathias held her tightly seeing Shelly take a needle out of her arm. Realized it was the morning time and saw the sky in its most beautiful state.
"What happened? I remember sleeping and then having a really bad dream."
Shelly puts a bandaid on Mary's arm"well you had an anxiety attack that's why I tell you to make sure you take your medicine. Mathias would hate to lose you again I know it's scary right now-."
"No that's not right I remember taking my medicine and going to bed, in my dream I saw Mathias eating raw meat from the fridge then he was being mean to me and telling me that he wished he never married me. I think he killed me..." Mary placed her hand on her chest feeling her heart beat rapidly.
She wanted to cry but she just didn't want to do it in front of people. Shelly rubbed her head giving Mathias a deadly glare, knowing he probably consumed too much blood and meat. Shelly knew Mathias would never get mad at Mary unless he had the uncontrollable urge to kill something or someone so he must've been fighting back with himself. Shelly couldn't tell Mary that the dream was actually real only giving her if not a few hours of rest.
"Mary why don't you get changed while me and Mathias have a nice talk. We'll wait for you once you finished." Shelly and Mathias walked out of the room as he closed the door from behind. Shelly went outside the small apartment standing a couple of feet away from the door.
Shelly looked closely at the sky "Mathias did you really say those things to Mary? I know you didn't mean it but you have to be careful I mean you can lose her just like that. Another thing what caused your craving for raw meat, I mean what the hell Mathias?"
Mathias rolled his eyes "You know what I did I regretted it tremendously. Yoko really wants to see her again but I told him to Wait. My craving happen right away I killed those three girls blood guts brains everywhere. I know you came out for other reasons."
Shelly slightly blushed"more so of a confession Mathias. I know we talked about this before but don't you understand how much I love you it breaks my heart to keep that from her but c'mon Mathias do you think it's worth staying with Mary if she doesn't even remember you at all."
Mathias gave her a dumbfounded look "Shelly your her friend why say things that's going to make me change my mind? You know I loved her for many years why ruin that for us? I don't want to have an affair, I will admit I thought about it but I would never want to see her hurt. Your not worth being with I'm sorry."
Shelly looked down a bit disappointed " I know I can win you over just give me some time-!"
Mathias grabbed her throat nearly slamming her against the wall "I love Mary do you understand how much she means to me? I get it you want to be with but I made a promise to Mary long ago to never cheat nor lie to her, Shelly Marrying her was the best thing ever happened to me."
"You didn't say that this morning Mathias!?"
He tighten his grip " I was vulnerable, I apologized to her She seemed calm after that."
"You put her to sleep! That's all you did Mathias that's all you ever going to do!"
Mathias removed his hand from her neck feeling a hand on his shoulder he turned around to see his son Yoko. The boy was a young adult growing in the age to become a young adult. Yoko had the same features as his father and personality as his mother. He came at a bad time he thought to himself.
"Father where is mother I want to see her?"
"You can see her later I'm talking to someone right now."
"No we're not doing this again, I mean what are you hiding her from me? You think I'm going to tell her but your murderous ways, it's either you die for her or kill her for what's it going to be?"
"Both my child, if it's to keep pest out the way why not? You must understand that's a part of being in this clan when you love someone deeply it takes your whole being not to murder a village but protect your lover. It's worth everything, I didn't tell you that your mother was abused by her parents long ago because I knew you hurt them. She begged for me to take her away from the place she called home to live with me. Your mother was happy with me I'm glad I took her out of the environment. Why I'm I telling you this story like you care, let me grab your mother so we can go."
"Go where exactly?"
"To the college of course"
Mathias opened the door seeing Mary eating a piece of toast and grabbing her book bag at the door.
"You ready to go Mary?"
Mary nodded seeing a boy behind him her eyes widened as she pushed Mathias out the way stunned to see her son Yoko. She remembered seeing dozens of memories of her and of course their child. A mother can never forget their son even when memories are lost. The memories that occurred were clear but also blurry.
"You've grown Yoko! Awe look at you your a big boy now. I'm so sorry I missed out on all the things you did."
"No mother you was there for everything I couldn't be prouder to see you here now."
Mary extended his arms to him. Yoko nearly cried leaning off hugging his mother from who he had dearly missed. Mathias seemed shocked that she could remember their son but not so much of them as a couple he found it frightening but he knew that her memory's would be returning slowly but with time.
While Mary and Yoko hugged shelly gave Mathias a kiss on the cheek which he didn't mind because Mary was facing the opposite direction from the two, Yoko seemed stunned by Shelly's actions so he figure he would talk to her one on one after he talks with mother The fact that His father would even accept it just triggers him ; his mother was there for everything up until his high school year in the thumb world, she wanted to go to his ceremony for science but she weak to go.
The truth was that Mathias couldn't bare to look at his ill wife so Yoko her only took care of her; it sicken him to see his father replace bad memory's with happy ones in her mind.When you think you know someone that well, it hurts to see the truth come out and see who the lair really is.
