Chapter 20 - Traitor.

"Never separate sisters, or they'll come back for you."

~

"I think it's better if I tell you when your sister is awake..." He spoke, his words floated around in my head. How could he?! We're sick to the bone, and he's hiding shit from us?! Does he even care for us? Or was this all a joke, just like our lives?

Am I nothing but a useless, piece of shit, worthless, walking corpse that just has nothing but organs attached to her? That is angry at the world? Can you blame me?! I. Have. A. Right. To. Be. Angry. Besides me and my sister. That right applied for EVERYONE who never got to know their parents!

They DESERVE to know! They DESERVE to KNOW if they had a father, a mother, or both!

Is Mika nothing more but a so-called weak, useless girl who'll allow herself to be kicked when she's down?! I knew we were orphans, right from the start. But what would Bitch achieve? What does he get out of this? Saying I'm pissed would be a fucking understatement!

I'm beyond pissed! I. Am. Royally. Fucking. Pissed!

"No! YOU ARE TELLING ME NOW! DO YOU HEA-" I shouted, but unable to finish my sentence. My eyes shot wide open. Everything happened so fast, I couldn't catch up. I was struck, fire exploding across my stomach.

I hit the floor with a dull thud.

My vision wavered at the edges, hearing Bitch yell my name. A massive figure towered over me. All the anger that I once felt, would be gone. My ears rang. I couldn't make out what the creature said to me. I couldn't move; or better yet, I didn't want to. The darkness around me was terribly inviting.

Something warm cupped my cheeks, then removed itself. I attempted to ignore it, but a familiar voice took me away from the darkness that surrounded me. "Wake up Cat!" I opened my eyes as I brought my hands up to my eyes, rubbing my blue orbs.

My eyes met terrified faces. Those of Jason and Bitch. What the fuck was that?

"S-Sis?" I heard a faint voice whisper, quickly turning my head to see Mika rubbing her eyes. She looked a bit better than before. The next thing I saw was Mika being pulled into a big hug by Jason. "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU GIRL?!" I heard him shout at my sister.

She looked at him, confused. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE AND DON'T YELL AT ME LIKE THAT! You idiot! I already have a fucking headache! Don't make it worse!" Hearing her yell at him like that was enough for me to know she was okay. I was so relived.

A giggle escaped my lips and I couldn't help but tease her. "Not liking the idea of having your boyfriend over, sissy?" Mika shot me a death glare at the word 'boyfriend'. "Last time I checked, I'm single and I chuck martini's in people's faces for a living. Plus, if you ask me. This doesn't seem like the right time to be talking about relationships and such."

She was right. It wasn't the right time anyway.

I turned my head, facing Bitch now. That one little smile I had on my face faded away. "Spit it out, now.'' Was all I said to him. Mika stared at me with a confused expression. "Spit out what exactly?" She asked softly, as she sat on the couch properly after the hug she received from Jason.

I couldn't blame her for not knowing; she did pass out in the middle of school.

"He said he had something to say to us, like come on! This is getting weird enough! We both look like death, I have nightmares while you have an eating disorder. You fainted today at school, while I had a panic attack! This is causing us some serious health issues! I thought I lost you! Do you need any BETTER reason FOR SOMEONE NOT TO EXPLAIN US what the fuck IS GOING ON WITH US?!"

At my outburst, Mika sighed, simply nodding. "I've.. Been having weird dreams for a while, and I don't feel so good." At Mika's statement, I turned around. I glared at Bitch. "What, and I won't repeat myself, is happening to us?'' I snapped, I was sick of this.

I guess you could say I was sick of everything.

''Well, the kid has to go before I can explain anything to you girls." Bitch said as he sat down, onto the armchair with a sigh. "Leave.'' I spat, shooting Jason a death glare. Noticing this, Mika pinched my arm. She gave me one of her typical Mika looks. I rolled my eyes again.

"Could you, pretty please with a cherry on top, wait outside Jason?'' I mocked saluting. He nodded, smiled warmly at Mika and left without saying a word. "Sit down girls. We are going to have a long talk...'' I never saw Bitch look so empty, so I was a bit scared now.

He took a deep breath, as he leaned forward slightly. Lowering his voice, he spoke,

''You are not completely human..."

••••••••••••••••••••

Cat gasped. My eyes shot wide open. I couldn't find the strength left to speak, let alone yell at the nonsense he was spewing! He was absolutely INSANE! After ten seconds, I could hear Cat laugh awkwardly.

"Okay. We are so done with your talk.'' Cat said, her voice turning serious. But to our surprise, Bitch paused and let out a chuckle. "I wouldn't lie about something as extreme as this.'' He stated seriously, I bit my underlip. I was really questioning him now.

"Oh? Don't you ever question the hate the townsfolk give you?" At his question, Cat frowned. "What do you mean?" I subconsciously chewed my lip, my thoughts drifting to my dreams once again.

''How do you explain our dreams?!'' I yelled out after seconds of silence. It was eating me from the inside, slowly. ''Calm down! Both of you!" Bitch snapped at us, trying to calm us down but failed. He rubbed the bridge of his nose as if warding off a headache.

''You may be a little.. Let's say.. Vampiric.''

At that, I choked. Cat shot me a concerned glance, before her attention shifted back to Bitch once again. "Vampires.. Sure! Let me guess. We are the last vampires on earth, and our oh so great senses are kicking in. Our family is the world's top vampire clan in history. Not to forget the dramatic fact that we could have come from another world."

I said mockingly, while laughing ever so slightly. Bitch smiled, gleam returning to his dark eyes. As he smiled, he said, "Something like that."

His words shocked me even more, did he forget to take his medication or something? I'm starting to become concerned for not only my wellbeing, but Cat's as well. "Are you sure you're not drunk?" I asked as I leaned back and crossed my arms.

He ran a hand through his hair in frustration. "Your GREAT-great-grandmother was a vampire herself! You both wonder where your parents are? No? And why they are not here. They are dead! Dead! Then on stage comes Cynthia and Drake! Your adoptive parents. Everyone was jealous of them. They were rich and perfect in every way. But why are they not here? You guys killed both of them, after enduring and suffering five hours of torturing. The truth is that they never loved you! As you were never completely human. Let's say everyone hated the bloodsuckers, dearly. You don't remember anything, and I wished that your memory would never come back. You were just a rock in their shoe, and their reputation was slowly dying with more people finding out about their kids."

Hot betraying tears slid down my cheek, soaking the collar of my T-shirt. Nausea entered the pit of my stomach. I turned my head slightly only to see Catty gripping her hair. "M-M-Mummy?!" I hissed, covering my ears.

But I could not drown out that voice in my head.

"Die!" The voice inside my head kept yelling. Suddenly, someone said something, and my eyes snapped open. "This can't be true! We are not monsters!" I heard Cat yell out, in agony.

What was happening?!

I felt useless, weak, and miserable at the same time.

••••••••••••••••••••

Heat racked up in my body, and then becoming ice cold and hypothermic. I could barely contain the cries that escaped my lips. As I struggled to keep myself above the pain. "You can't be serious... We're just normal teenagers! Right?!" I heard Mika scream out.

Mika gripped my arm. She looked at me, terrified. I quickly hugged her. "It will be alright. Right!?'' She managed to say, choking on her own tears. I wanted to say yes, I wanted to tell her that this was just a joke, a sick, cruel joke. That we were normal teenagers and that everything was alright.

That everything would be normal.

"I don't know, but I won't let anything happen to you.'' I said and hugged her even tighter. My head began to throb violently as my knees started to shake. Why do I feel like I've said that to her before? Why do I feel so useless? My dreams...

Dizziness almost overwhelmed me. I felt Mika passed out in my arms. Her face was turning slightly blue. She wasn't breathing!

Oh god, help her! I couldn't say a word. My eyes rolled into the back of my head while a dark cloud enveloped my mind and sent me into the void. The pain hit me like millions of needles piercing into my skin all at once. It had me screaming like never before. I closed my eyes trying to forget the pain and pretend that I was in a different place.

I imagined I was somewhere in the forest with Mika, laughing and running around. We were free, and in peace at last. Mika. Where is she? My eyes snapped open when I heard her crying out loud.

People who were supposed to be our family were beating her up! The left side of her face was bruised and her left eye was almost swollen shut. They threw her against the wall, as they continued to kick her. To beat her. Cries after cries were all that my ears were able to catch.

Which angered me. I yelled at the top of my lungs, "DON'T TOUCH HER! You bastards!" I was furious, dripping with rage. How could they?! How COULD they TREAT her like that?! How could they treat me like that?! Us!

"Give me that!" I could hear a man's voice command. "What are you doing?!" I heard a second voice, but this time. The voice was familiar. It was my father. "Brother. She's had enough! Stop it... Please!" I heard a man say. The voice was unfamiliar, but I knew it was a man.

The man walked towards me. He was big compared to me; he was tall. He had black hair and dark eyes like the sky at the night. He was wearing a suit. Was he my uncle? Is he ... Bitch-chan?!

Suddenly, I felt the whip hit me, with more force this time. It was my father, no wonder. He hated me and Mika right from the start after all. My eyes were shut tightly as the whip pierced my back...

I.. Everything became black then, for me.
