I got a few phones calls from Syd at least once a week demanding to know what was new in my life so she scream that it was all meant for her. I had sleepovers with Beth and Bee. We went clubbing and I tried to avoid booze. I met a nice college guy name Nick. He was kind, curious and funny. We exchanged numbers and I had a feeling that I will be calling him soon. He left with his friends and I left with mine.
We graduated and things got a little complicated. I told mom that I moved out to a halfway house. Actually it wasn't a halfway house. It was a penthouse I purchased with the money the vampires gave me. I was so focused on my life that I had not had a sip of blood in a three months. I was given a bag to drink. As I drank I saw images. I thought I was hallucinating. I walked in the direction of the visions to realize I was seeing memories of the person I drank. I could use this to my advantage. Unless I smell blood it has lost its appeal to tempt the monster. Even then I can block for her five minutes. I was in charge now. I sat down to focus on the visions and soon I was seeing the complete memory with voices too. I decided not to mention this to anyone since this could cause trouble.
I was given a job in the hotel as a concierge. I worked six days a week. I was given a decent pay. I saw my friends Bee, Beth and Ann (Ex Queen troublemaker) once a week. We would go clubbing and parties. I stayed looking like I was still in highschool while they grew to look like college students. They left for college while I moved to work in the restaurant.
I was pleased to make manager when I was instructed to find a group of vampire hunters. I was ordered to kill them on sight. I was told I should kill them and bring them their heads without question. I found them without any problems. I knew that the vampires would kill my mother if I didn't so I did as I was told. They paid me the bounty and I was asked to head the club which I refused. I knew what kind of trouble that place brings. I was happy more than happy running the restaurant since it is discreet. They accepted my request and asked that I be careful. I told them I will be very discreet.
I called to confirm my therapy appointment and I was told that Dr Lua was killed by one her patients so I snuck into her office before the police arrived. I quickly burned my therapist notes she had on me. So I won't be implicated. I had been very explicit in my sessions. I made sure I got rid of all of it. Even audio files too. I deleted the security footage and snuck out and I went back to the restaurant.
The police were approaching people who were her patients. Thankfully I paid in cash so they had no way of finding me. The ME said it was a brute that beat and I had a feeling that one of my stepdad's friends was involved. Jekyll was trying to cover it up. I passed my theory to a gofer and it was taken care of. He found a security footage and I asked him to leak it. It was exposed on TV. He was arrested and Jekyll had to stand and watch. He tried to convince the others to let him go but they won't release a killer. That is against the law. So he watched as his fellow monster got dragged to prison. I knew he would try to spring him so I asked that someone keep an eye and if that happens use deadly force. It wasn't necessary since he was stabbed to death in one of the holding cells. Jekyll was pissed and he almost turned into a monster.
I was pleased that mom had decided to divorce Jekyll. It turns out she saw him turn into a monster and hurt someone. His actions made mom have PTSD. She had been trying to get him out for some time. She finally found the courage to do so. I found her a therapist that took care of it.
She asked me bluntly if there was anything that I was hiding. She wanted an honest answer so I told her what little I could. I told her about the car crash, the vials and how I had changed into a beast myself. She was scared at first. She wanted to know more.
I didn't tell her about everything else. She asked me if I had hurt anyone. I told her that I fought a man that was beating a woman but I handed him to the police. She was happy to know that I was different from Jekyll. She promised not to say anything. I told her that I knew he was a monster before she did. So I had placed people to protect her from him. They kept an eye on them. If he had hurt her they were given orders to rescue her by any means necessary. He must not be allowed near her again. Mom hugged me with love. She asked me what I do. I told her that I run a Michelin star restaurant. My job to make sure that the place runs smoothly. Half my salary goes to charity. It is for the people who can't afford medication. She was happy to know that being a monster didn't make a horrible person. I told her that I go to therapy to make sure that I don't become a menace. She was pleased and she apologized for giving me the injections. I told her that if she didn't use it on me, I would be dead by now. She didn't argue with me. She did spy on me for a week to confirm my words. After which she was proud mother.
I invited her to stay with me in the penthouse till the divorce was finalized. She was shocked at the sight and the view. I asked that one of the gofers to keep an eye on mom. There are people who work with mom and people who live next door to mom. So I wasn't that concerned. He did show up while we were having dinner at a Philippino restaurant. I was having the duck pho while she was having the vegan pho. He showed up and demanded that she let him move in with her. She made it clear that she has no desire to have anything to do with him. He threatened her that she will suffer badly. She brushed him off and enjoyed her pho. He pulled out his gun and shot her in the head. She died instantly.
I kicked the table and charged at him. I can use my super strength now without changing into a monster. I was about to beat him black and blue when a police officer used a taser and he fell to the floor. I kicked him in the groin. I sat down next to mom and wept. The others watched as he was taken away. I held on the mom and cried.
Craig came over and took me away. He promised that he will take a care of it. I was escorted to my penthouse and was told to stay there. The police arrived to ask a few questions. I felt that talking was too difficult so I tried something else. I had replaced my mother's glasses with spy glasses. It had recorded the entire incident. They were shocked to see it. They blurted why they were here. He was claiming that I had walked in on their romantic dinner and there was an altercation. I was the one who shot her. I was pissed that he would have the nerve to lie. They apologized for my loss and left with the footage.
I saw him the next day and he was not remorseful. I asked him why he threw me under the bus. I reminded him that he was seen being evicted from the house. The neighbors all are witnesses to that. She did file for divorce. He retorted that he knew that I didn't like him. It was the most natural thing to do. What he wasn't aware of was that I had recorded the event. I told him that I wasn't the only one that did. There are a dozen eye witnesses that will testify against him in court. He was sure he would get away with it since he was a cop. His lawyer showed up and explained that since he is a police station whatever he says can and will be used against him in a court of law. There is no possible way for him to get out since I had recorded our conversation. I handed it to the prosecutor as I walked out. I was assured that he would get the death penalty.
