Chapter 9 - Chapter 8

Bee woke me up and I hugged her tightly and wept. I told her what had happened and she recommended a therapist. She said her aunt was very discreet with her patients. I asked her when she can get me an appointment. She made sure that I was in her aunt's office that day after school. Dr Lua was a short blonde hair woman with tattoos all over her arms. She had this done when she married a Samoan named Kai.

She was already informed of what actually happened. She promised to keep it a secret from the authorities. I sat down and she first asked me about my life. Then she gave me papers to test find out about me. I discovered a lot of about myself. I sat down as she explained what will happen next. I sat down trying to figure out what will happen next when I sensed Syd was waiting in the parking lot. I can tell that she was waiting to break in. I told the doctor of my predicament and she promised to keep the notes where Syd won't be able to find it.

Syd tried to hide as I walked to my car. She waited till I drove off to walk in and ask the lady in the front desk about me. The clerk on the front desk doesn't have the schedule. The doctor is the only one. They started doing after they started to help abuse victims so the abuser won't be able to find out. So when patient arrives the clerk calls the therapist who confirms it. Syd was not aware of this so she walked out disappointed. I wondered how long this will go on.

My phone started to ring so I answered it. It was from a gofer from Thunderbird. I was asked to come in for a routine questioning. I arrived and they showed me the video from last night. They were pleased with me but can sense that I was not the type to do these things so they were going to let me go through therapy so I can curb myself. They partied greatly after they spend an hour in mourning for the loss of their people. They gave me the reward money for taking out the ones who were a constant pain in their life. I got the reward money of ten million dollars from each houses It was transferred to a new account in my name. They wished me well as I drove to the beach to chill. I thought I saw Syd walking out of a pharmacy with a bag. Whatever she is up to I want no part of it.

I sat on the beach to admire the view when Syd tried to sneak up behind me with a syringe. I managed to jump and get out of her way. She screamed in frustration and ordered me to stay still as she collects a sample from me. I got up and ran up a flight of stairs to find a police officer was giving a woman a speeding ticket by the pedestrians. I ran to him in the hopes that he could help me. Syd didn't see the officer till she was within arms length of him. She tried to hid the syringe but it was too late. She was cuffed and dragged to holding. I walked to the station and gave my statement. Syd knew that if she opened her mouth they will think she is crazy so she just kept her mouth shut. I can tell that her tales must now look ridiculous to her family.

I called Syd's mom and she arrived post haste. The yelling commenced and I told them that I won't press charges as long Syd leaves me alone. While Syd protested her mom didn't. Syd kept saying that I got what was meant for her. Her mom promised to send Syd to her uncle in Arizona. Syd cried as her mom made the call. The uncle arrived to personally transported her to Arizona on the next flight. Syd was shouting the entire time to that she was denied the opportunity to complete herself. She pointed out that I am from an average income family just like her but nowadays I look like a millionaire. Everyone thought that Syd has lost her mind.

Life went on quietly after that. My therapy sessions went on nicely. I managed to find ways curb my urges. I talk to myself, I went swimming, jogging, karate, painting and creative writing. I became more aware of myself. It was embarrassing to talk about certain things but she promised that even her husband won't know about these things.

To my nightmare my mom married what's his name. He introduced himself as Jack. He changed the week he married mom. He would nice suddenly he would get angry and he would be very mean. I concerned that mom would get hurt. She promised to be careful. I told her that she had better be careful or get a divorce. As days went by he would switch temperaments. I started calling him Jekyll and Hyde since his attitude sometimes shifts like he has a dual personality.

I arrived from school one day to see him change into a monster. He looked like a Jekyll and Hyde monster. I took his picture and asked around in my new vampiric social circle. It turns out that Jack was part the government's attempt at making super soldiers. It was a fail and they had to terminate it. They found the existence of vampires and werewolves. These guys covered their tracks. The higher ups wanted to extract their genetic materials to insert it into the next generation of soldiers. The soldiers discovered the facility so the vampires destroyed the place. A vampire hunter got one batch while the corpses and the others batches were destroyed. I got the one the vampire hunter was trying to run away with. The car he stole had a dash cam. I was shown that my stepfather arrived after I disappeared from view. The driver was pulled out of the car. My stepdad tried to interrogate the guy but he honestly said he didn't know where it was. Jack turned to Jekyll and beat him to death. He put him back in the car and threw a grenade to blow up the car. It is possible that he saw my beetle so out of concern they are asking me to have my car destroyed. So I did. I replaced my car with a Ducati. Mom was not happy with it but I told her that it is a safe bike.

School went peacefully for the most part. Since Syd was gone it has been peaceful. My only nightmare lies at home. I had a gofer family placed as a neighbour so they could keep an eye on my mom. I didn't want to arrange her funeral. I would be more than happy to beat my stepdad black and blue. He would resemble a panda by the time I am finished. But that can wait. One day I came home to see Jack was outside talking to mom. She had enough of his attitude so she threw him out. His friends took him to the nearest naval base where he stayed till he found a way back mom's good books. Which I hope will never happen.
