Chapter Twenty-Three: Through The Cat's eyes
Black Widow~
Even so my real name is Lily I preffered my new name, Black Widow. Ever since Agustin took my innocence away I lost everything. I lost Erick, my child, even Max. Now as I wonder through the hallways of the mansion I felt like a total reject of life itself. Life itself took everything from me. Now I'm a cat. A lonely loner lone cat.
That night that Sebastian arrived to the mansion the first time I felt something in me hurt. He was my child and I gave up on him.
I was curled up under the stove when I heard small pawsteps. It was Roadkill.
"Here kitty kitty kitty....I got a surprise for you..." Roadkill scurried around the kitchen.
That rat...
Even so I was a cat I disliked eating rats. I preferred mice instead.
"Here... Danger's mother...or should I say Sebastian's mother..." I heard him chuckle.
That's it!
I jumped out of my hiding spot and pounced on top of Roadkill. "Ahhh!" Roadkill squeaked and stumbled back. "What do you want?!" I hissed. "Calm down I've come to talk to you.'' He put his paws in the air in surrender.
"Speak." I demanded
"Very well but I would like for you to sit." He smirked revealing his little rat teeth.
I sat down and glared at him. ''Now we all know Who you were exactly but the question is..." He paused and wink. "Who are you?"
''What?!'' I hissed baring my teeth at him.
"I'm joking I'm joking..." He chuckled. "Agustin will find you." His eyes darkened.
That name sent a shiver through my spine.
"I could just tell him that you're still here. I mean he already knows you're a cat that's why he has left you alone for these years but I could tell him where his child is..." Roadkill twitched his whiskers.
"Why are you doing this to me?'' I remained in my place but unseathed my claws.
"Look we both know our spell is only capable of releasing one. One of us might be free while the other one must remain like an animal for the rest of its life. I don't know you but I want to be human again." His black beady eyes stared into mine.
"The curse can be released til Agustin's curse is cured and that rose is destroyed. We both know that one of us can be human again unless we touch your child's dead body. That's when he dies..."
"I'm not going to let you!" I hissed.
Even so Sebastian was the product of a mistake and a monster he was still my child. I'm not going to let them kill him.
"It's not an option. He has to die anyways and I'm not planning to be a rat for the rest of my life." Roadkill glared. "That's all I wanted to tell you. One of us will die...but it won't be me."
"You're a rat and will always be. You as well as Agustin will pay." I warned him. Roadkill just shrugged and scurried off.
"Good luck Black Widow..." He disappeared.
I stood in my place and took in a deep breath. I didn't want to die like a cat but neither did I want Sebastian to die. He is my child for crying out loud!
I heard footsteps and quickly hid under the stove. Agustin entered the kitchen.
He was soaking wet dressed in black.
Every step he took sent a shiver through my spine. The fur on my neck bristled as he stood close to where I was hiding.
"Why me..." He whispered to himself. "Why did I had to be with the curse...?"
He walked towards a wall and leaned against it. He scratched his head and took a deep breath. "My child is alive."
Oh no that monster found out the truth!
Agustin sighed and mumbled something.
"Must..find that rose....Forgotten Soul...."
I crouched lower as Agustin started to pace around the place.
I can't let him find me nor Sebastian. But what can I do?
Agustin finally stopped pacing.
''What got you like this my blood sucker?'' A female voice spoked.
"Leave me alone Luna we had our fun yesterday."
"Awww why is Agustin mad at me? Was it because I didn't do it harder?'' She giggled.
A woman with black hair dressed in dark navy blue almost black stood at the entrance.
In the distance I could hear thunder rolling in.
''Luna... I need you to go." Agustin sounded annoyed.
"Are you rejecting me?" That ticked her off.
"Look to be honest I don't need you no more. I have a child and he is alive. I must find him."
''What?!" Luna gasped. "Over my dead carcass!" Her eyes turned black. "Is it because of her right?!" She pointed a finger towards me.
Oh oh...
"Who?" Agustin crouched down and our eyes met.
"Lily?! But how?!" Agustin's hazel eyes started to turn red.
I let out a hiss and escaped between his legs but Luna somehow managed to pull me by the tail.
"Oh so I see you didn't realize she was here all along." Luna's eyes turned back to normal and held a glint of amusement.
"I.."
"Its okay Agustin your secret is safe with me. Its obvious you're not smart as a normal vampire." Luna mocked. "Its a sign..." She smirked. She gripped my tail and pulled me up till I was upside down.
"What are you talking about?" He frowned.
"You are slowly fading away. You're weakening. Your days are numbered."
"No that isn't true!"
"Well whatever you're still running out of time." She glared down at me and showed two sharp fangs.
"And so is hers. You know in order for both of you to live you both need to work together." She let out a small chuckle. "I'll leave you two alone." She dropped me to the ground and quickly vanished in thin air.
I wanted to run but my legs were weak. I turned around and my eyes met his once again.
"Lily we need to talk." His voice was deep and low.
"Then speak." I stood all in four and glared at him. His eyes were slowly turning back to its hazel color.
"You know what I must do. Help me and I'll leave you alone." His eyes had a hint of sadness.
As much as I didn't want to I had no other choice. Destiny was taking its place and there was no turning back.
"Then...let me help."
