Mom, Dad..." cried Lina. She could see them being attacked by something moving so fast to no what it was. Tears blinded her as she ran to them but her brother held her back.
"Shhh don't cry or make a sound, Lina" he whispered in her ear. She obeyed but her eyes didn't leave her parents who seemed to be fighting for their lives.
Her brother's silent sobs increased when her mother's body fell next to her husband. Lina felt something burn in her chest, suffocating and painful.
Pushing away her brother's hand Lina screamed as she suddenly threw up seeing her parent's bodies.
She could see the creatures that had attacked, pointed bloody fangs and sharp claws move to where her brothers were ignoring her, the moment its claws touched Harry she screamed.
Opening her eyes Lina woke up screaming, a hand held her waking her up. Taking deep breaths she turned to who was holding her as a warm voice soothed her.
"It's okay," he said.
It was Avril sitting next to her. Lina held him back with her trembling body.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"It was them, I always thought it was a nightmare but... but they killed them" she cried.
Holding her face he gently called her name, "Lina calm down and breath"
She did as he said and looked up at him with tears in her eyes, "they had the same,... fangs, claws and bloodthirsty eyes"
"Where did you see them?" he asked.
"I don't remember, but I saw them kill Mom and Dad and then try to kill my brothers" she cried.
Avril hugged her, "It's in the past Lina try to calm down now"
But she pushed him aside touching his face," And you are you fine now, am sorry must have passed out from... "Her hand slid to her neck and she flinched in pain.
Gently he took it away," Don't touch it, am sorry I hurt you"
She sniffed," As long as your okay, am okay too "
She felt his hand slide to the back of her head pulling her to him, Avril kissed her forehead," Thank you but we both know you're not okay. It will take a while to recover ".
She frowned," Am really okay, don't worry "
"Aren't you going to ask anything? "he asked.
"No, & I don't need you to explain anything to me. Let's just leave that for another time, now I just want you to hold me "she let out.
After she went back to sleep he stepped out.
"I heard her speak, is she awake? "his mother asked.
"She was but is back to sleep now, "he said joining them in the living room.
"That's good, let her rest, "his mother said.
"Will she be okay? "
"She is okay, just shaken up by what happened, "she said.
"Well now we need to know why her blood doesn't affect you and how come even after feeding you almost half her blood Lina is okay," his mother said.
"And her strength is incredible to have pushed you down in that state and also destroy the door so she could save you, "Richard said.
Avril sighed," I hurt her and the only thing she woke up asking was if I was okay. I don't deserve her ".
"Don't tell me you're having cold feet now son. The moment you sank your fangs into that beast's neck you let go of your previous plan and went on this new one" his mother said.
Your body has been surviving on human food which weaken it and made you half human but when you tasted blood again, everything you had worked hard to achieve we washed down the drain. Your body is back to its original form and with Lina's special blood, it is like you have been enhanced.
"I thought I would control my longing for blood but it caught me off guard, "he said.
"Did she ask what happened? "they asked.
"No and I don't think she wants to talk about it," he said.
"I would not either, if I found out my boyfriend is a bloodthirsty demon and I have weird strength to break a door I would be scared " scoffed Richard.
Avril frowned," What should I do, am worried I might hurt her again ".
"Technically you can't, it's her who might hurt you. But based on the theory of her lost memories Lina is still average compared to you now "his friend said.
"But if she's able to use her powers with her knowing that's more dangerous, you need to take care of her son and when she's ready you will tell her "
....
Lina woke up in Avril's arms, she smiled.
"How can I have such a good boyfriend "she let out.
Avril opened his eyes looking down at her, Lina giggled," You heard that?".
He chuckled," I did and my answer is simple " his hand pulled her up to him as he met her lips.
Gently he kissed her lips," this is an apology for my behaviour last night "he whispered. Kissing her again he added, "And this is for being there for me in my time of need "
