Chereads / Katerina and Her Darkness / Chapter 12 - Chapter 11

Chapter 12 - Chapter 11

"We are Werewolves. And Katerina is the cause of your parent's death!"

'"I don't know what the fuck you are talking about!" I yelled at my mad aunt.

She didn't budge at all but laughed instead. "Look at him, Dan. He's acting like an innocent puppy barking at its own shadow. So cute!"

"That's why! I said I will explain the story!" Uncle Dan said as he walked in front of Arora, ignoring her statement. "Now listen carefully..."

"I know you don't like bringing up topics about your parents, but I have to. Your mom, Diana, as you already know, is Arora's older sister, and your dad, Ashton is my older brother. According to everyone else, your parents have died of an animal attack when they were driving through the woods. Well... I hate to say this. The cause of their death was the so-called sister you were put with. Her name is not Elizabeth or Beth... Her name was Katerina. She came from the world 1000 years ago.

"By now, she should be 1017 years old. She was forcedly sent over to the 20th centries. She was forced to forget all about her past, which explains why she acted the way she did for the past 15 years. The magical ones did it, they did it themselves... Sending their future queen away, just because they were too stubborn to group with us, and scared to be the enemies of the cold blood. How pathetic! Anyways... 15 years ago, 2 years old Katerina fell in the middle of the woods, just when Diana was hunting. Katerina was unconscious with a high fever, so without hesitation, your mother took her home. At that time, we all had no idea who she was. She was a beautiful girl, and when your mother realized that little Katerina was the same age as you, she decided to adopt you. Stupid as we all were, we didn't know that it was a trap, set by those crafty cold-bloods.

"When Katerina was five, we realized that she could use magic, so we took her to one of the witches, and when the witch saw her, she screamed her head off, and cried, 'The Queen has come back for revenge! Please dont' hurt us, Katerina!'. That's when we realized that she was the future White Queen. No matter how much, Arora and I begged your parents to return her to her mate, Ardwyad Tobias Evans, the next vampire king, they refused to do so. They said that Katerina was their Daughter, and they would protect her with their lives.

"15 years went past, one lonely night. The mate of Katerina after 1000 years of search. He found her. Instead of thanking the poor couple. He killed the two mercilessly. Making it look like a car crash and an animal attack. Isn't that what you were told? You were deceived! We were all deceived! Now that you know the truth... What do you think?"

"Hold on." That was all I managed to say. That was just way too much information. I need to sort all of this shit out.

"I'll show him," Arora said as she started to take her clothes off right in front of my eyes. Leaving herself in bikini style.

"What in the world are you doing! You're my aunt!" I blurted out and looked away to Uncle Dan, who just nodded at me.

"Just watch," Aunt Arora said as her eyes turned golden like before, something like fur started to grow on her back... Her face started to change, into the face of a wolf. Finally, she turned into a werewolf. Just like the movies!

I didn't know what to say.

"Now do you believe me? Believe us?" Uncle Dan asked.

I stared at the huge wolf beside me and looked toward Uncle Dan. "So, if she is a werewolf, you..."

"Yes, I'm also a werewolf, and so are you."

"What are the cold-bloods?"

"Vampires." Uncle Dan said through gritted teeth.

"So I can shift too."

"Yes, but not yet."

"Why."

"It's not the time yet."

"Tell me..."

"You won't like it..."

"Please! I beg you!"

"Fine! You would have to kill someone."

"Oh my God..."

"You've scared him!" Arora said as she shifted back to human form. She quickly slipped her clothes back on and tried to pat me on the shoulders but I brushed her hand away.

"He forced me to!" Dan murmured, feeling guilty.

"I am not going to kill anyone." I laughed, feeling cold sweat dripping down my face. "That's never going to happen. I have to find Elizabeth."

"Well... I won't force you, because it's your own choice. If you don't accept your destiny, you will never be strong enough to save your so-called sister. The cold-bloods are already on their way, it's about time for her to make a choice also. If anyone was, to tell her the truth, it has to be you." Dan looked at me dead in the eyes.

There was silence. For about 3 minutes no one talked. I stared at my hands. Imagining it full of blood, of someone else's blood. I tried brushing the thoughts away, but instead, I saw my sister dead with a pale Vampire sitting on the side blood leaking from the edge of his mouth.

"No!" I shouted as I woke up from the deep thoughts. "I cannot... Beth cannot die."

"So?"

"I'll do it."

Beth's POV:

"So you killed someone!" I shouted with disgust at my so-called brother!

"Yes," Jay said as he stared at his hands.

"Who... Or, how about if I said I will not go with you." I said, while my heart, my head all started to hurt like mad. "It would have all been worthless."

"I know you will," Jay said with confidence. "You will come with me, Beth, and leave those blood-suckers."

"No, I will not!" I said standing up angrily.

"Yes, you will! Do you know that I did all of this for you? Why are you so selfish!" Jay shouted loudly, his eyes turned bright yellow. "Is it because I'm not your brother? That doesn't change anything, you are, and always will be my..."

"Stop!" I screamed as I took a deep breath. "Thank you for doing this, but if I was forced to leave somewhere, there must be a reason. Until I find out who I am, I am not going to live here with a house of Beasts who hates the shit out of me. The Evans, they care about me, truly! Not like your aunts and uncles who just take me as a burden!"

"I love you! You know that! Why do you care about what other people think! You would rather live with dead people than to live with me!" Jay said as he looked at me with hurt.

"I'm leaving," I said standing up. "I'm sorry for doing this, but I need to find out who I am." I stood up slowly from my chair, everything was quiet. I could hear my heart pounding, the sound of my footsteps. When I was just about to walk out of the door, I heard some say from behind me.

"Hello, little bitch."It was Arora. She was holding something like a big stick. She swung it high and in high-speed it came flying down. She was aiming for my head. I think I would die of that one swing. Tonight is the last night.

Goodbye, Tobias... We never even kissed.

"Bam!"

Yes, the stick hit my head. For about one minute, I couldn't feel anything. I couldn't hear anything, but the high ringing sound of the tinnitus in my ears. It felt as if the whole earth was spinning around me. I saw Tobias crashing in from the window, he flew over to me, shouting my name. I tried answering, but no voice would come out. Then I saw Flame and Justus also jump in from the broken window. Flame and Arora jumped at each other, both scratching and fighting in supernatural speed and power. The whole kitchen looked destroyed. Justus had his hands in his pockets, only using his legs to fight back the wild, angry Jay. One kick, Jayden flew meters away. A big beast like a wolf charged at me, but Tobias gave it one hard punch, and it flew out through the wall.

What happened after that?

I don't remember.
