Dark Truth

by Fallon Farmer

  “What is this about? Exactly what happened?” Angelic asked.

  “I was told by someone else about his son....,Micheal.” The looks on their faces was worry.

  “Rave.” Liza said. “He wasn’t sure how you would react. You have left him before and he was afraid that you might do it again. He loves you Raven, honestly. He just makes bad desicions sometimes.”

  “I know that he loves me, but that don’t make up for the lies and the secret’s. If he would just have told me the whole truth from the begining we would not be going through this right now.” I had a quick thought in my second of pause. “Do you think that my mom would notice my changes?” I asked either of them.

  “I think she might. It’s hard to tell. Why?” Liza asked.

  “I was wanting to go for a visit, but mabe it isn’t a good idea right now. If it’s okay, mabe I can stay here, but I can’t have Mica here with me. I need some time to think things through.” I could see that they seen that they had lost the fight.

  “I’m sure that will be fine.” Angelic agreed. She called to tell Mica what was going on and where I would be, because unlike him I won’t just disappear without letting him know.

  I have spent the last few day’s here hanging out. I don’t like being away from Mica, but I don’t know how else to make him see that I mean buisness when it comes to him keeping things from me. I have done alot of thinking these last few day’s and I know I can’t stay mad at Mica for to long. I love him to much and I am bound to him in more way’s then one.

  I sit in my room here and just stare at myself in the mirror. I look at my new eye’s, my fangs, my new look that I have, and I just wonder about everything about me and my new life, even though I love it more than anything. I still just wonder about it all.

  Angelic has dragged me out of the house today to do some shopping, of course, but before we could get anywhere, one of my guards, Zeke called.

  “Hey Zeke. What’s up?” I asked casually. He was staying at the condo with the rest of my guards. I didn’t feel like I needed them while I was staying at the house with the other’s.

  “Raven, it’s Mica. He could be getting himself in trouble!”

  “What happened?” I shouted into the phone. I was able to worry in that instant, but also wondered how he was going to get himself in to some kind of trouble. What with him being what he is.

  “He said that he can’t take being apart from you and he’s putting the blame on Lavon. He just left to go after him.”

  “What is wrong with him. He knew that I would come back.” I sighed. “Thank you Zeke were going to go back to the house. I’ll talk to you later.” I hung up the phone.

  “What’s going on?” Angelic asked worried.

  “Your brother is going after Lavon.” I hissed through my teeth. I have to get to him.”

  “Rave that shouldn’t be hard, your telepathic. You can get inside his mind to see where he is or where he is going. Dad and them can meet us there when you find out.”

  “You’ll need to pull over. I have to concentrate, I’m still not fully in control of my gift yet.”

  She pulled off on a back road that was surrounded by tree’s. I closed my eye’s and concentrated sifting through all the voices and images in my head. I had to block out all of the ones that I did not want. I concentrated hard on Mica until finally I found his. I seen images. He was confronting Lavon. Krystal was there and so was the rest of Lavon’s friends. If I don’t get there quick, it won’t end good. I can see inside Lavon’s head as well.

  I opened my eye’s. “I know where he is.” I stated. “Call the house and give them these directions.” I told her the location and she told everyone where it was, so that they could meet us there.

  I was getting out of the car to run. “Wait.” Ang. said grabbing my wrist. “Mica would be furious if something happened to you. Mabe you should go to the house. We can handle them.”

  “Nothing is going to happen. It’s not like I’m some useless human anymore! I’m not going to stand by while he goes and and does something stupid. Now let’s go, we don’t have alot of time.” I started running through the tree’s. I could hear my families thoughts the closer I got to our location, they were already there waiting for us.

  When we got there, I seen that my guards were there too. No one was happy when I told them to stay where they were, that this is something that I need to handle and they would know if I needed help!

  I went right up to the door of the house and opened it without knocking. I seen Mica and Lavon facing each other, It was about to turn deadly. As I walked in, they both turned to look at me as did the other’s that were there. I walked right up to Mica.

  “Let’s go!” I said once again tasting the rage in my body building, I would need it to protect myself just incase. I pulled on his arm and felt my fangs come out. It wasn’t just because of the rage. There was a delicious sent in here. There was a human here. I had to stay focused.

  “Raven, what are you doing here?” Mica asked and that made my rage that much stronger.

  “I’m here because you are acting like a complete idiot. Now let’s go!” I said again. Mica resisted. “If you want to be with me you will leave with me right now!” I spoke with pure fury saturating my voice, it rang loud and clear. I’ve had enough of his stupid desicions.

  Before Mica could say anything further Lavon spoke. “I see that you are not human anymore. When did that happen Raven?”

  “It is really none of your concern Lavon. I am not with you and never will be, therefore you have no rights to question me.”

  He turned to Mica then. “I wonder what would happen. Mica. If I was to bite her right now?” He smiled vindictively. And at that same precise moment my brothers and sisters and dad to this life were standing beside me in an instant crouched as if to protect me or to stop a fight that was surely about to break out and would end deadly.

  Mica lunged, but Me and his dad had a hold of him before he could get to Lavon. “You will not!” Mica hissed through his teeth.

  I looked at Charles and my brother’s. “Take Mica outside. I need to have a word with him. Angelic and Liza can stay here with me if it will make you feel better.”

  Mica looked at me with confused eye’s. Charles and the other’s had to struggle to get him outside, but they succeeded.

  “Lavon you need to stop. You started all of this, and I am ending it!”

  “Your wrong their Raven. I’ll be the one to end it. It will be when I get you to drink my venom and I bite you. You will then have no choice but to desire me in everyway that I want you to.”

  “That will never happen.”

  “Oh it will and then...” He trailed off smiling. I turned to Krystal hearing her thought’s to Lavon’s words and then the meaning behind them.

  “You will never have him.” I responded to her thoughts. “He will never take you back. I don’t care if you have a son by him!”

  She hissed and crouched to spring at me. I crouched and made the first move. Angelic had one arm and Liza the other. But their strength was nothing compared to the rage that was built up inside of me. I overpowered them in an instant.

  I sprang at her, but two things happened that made me feeze where I was at. Mica came through the door yelling at me, and the human that was there stood right next to Krystal. I smelled her blood and I wanted it. The smell of it had me changing my attention to her. But Mica blocked my advance to her. Then Lavon was going toward him. I only had less than a half second to control my craving for the human’s blood so that I could block Lavon’s advance. I did not realize until now that it was possible for our kind to be destroyed. I could see that Lavon is going to try out his theory on how to kill our kind on Mica. Mica was to preoccupied on stopping me to realize what was going on, but I had warning, I could hear the thought loud and clear. />
  I controlled myself just in time to block Mica, as Lavon was approaching him I pushed out both of my hands and hit Lavon in his chest. The force that came from me knocked Lavon clear to the other side of the house. He flew back and when he slammed into the wall it crumbled down around him from the impact.

  Lavon just stared at me. Shock across his face. He was not used to me doing the hurting. “Lavon this is your warning. Stay away and don’t even think about calling.” I looked at the other’s. “If you really call him your friend then you will see to it. And for you Krystal.., keep Mica out of your thoughts. He is mine and you will never have any kind of chance with him. If you even attempt it, you won’t find yourself hurt as Lavon, but instead I will kill you!!” She didn’t say a word, and niether did any of the rest. I took one last look at the pitiful human standing there, with her scent in the air. I could take her out in a second without her even realizing what happened, but I have my thirst, my craving for the blood under control for the moment. We all turned and left out of the house and started running home.

  The anger had not faded the slightest as we returned to the house. While everyone went in, I went out back to try and cool off some. Mica followed me to where I was at our tree. This certain spot usually helps me feel better.

  I turned to Mica as he walked up behind me. “What were you thinking?” I half shrieked at him.

  “He had no right to tell you Raven. Plus he made you leave. I don’t like being away from you like this. He needed to be put in his place!” His eye’s narrowed, and I could see that he was irritated at the fact that I showed up to stop him. But he would just have to get over it.

  “When were you going to tell me Mica? After we were married? It still would not have stopped me from having the same reaction Mica!”

  “I was actually working up to telling you before the wedding!” He snapped back. Then composed himself. “I was wanting you to meet him. He is a good kid and he will be part of your family now.”

  “What is he?” I asked wondering how he was able to stay with his mother this long while in her human life and her not notice anything supernatural about him.

  “He is like us, except for he did not seem to crave the blood, but he is older now. I was going to take him from her anyway’s. I have been keeping an eye on him. He does grow. Were not sure for how long though or when it will stop. Dad has seen no threat from him in the future.” He looked at me pleading with me. I could hear his thoughts and see it in his eye’s.

  I sighed, and stared into his eye’s. “Look I should not have just left like that, but I was mad. This is not the first time that you were dishonest with me! Listen to me when I say this Mica, you can not run off and do something stupid everytime I am mad and need some space. Hopefully I won’t be getting mad, that you will stay honest with me from now on though.”

  “I won’t give you another reason to be mad at me. I really am sorry Raven.” He smiled a smirky little smile and I could see myself starting to give in, and forgive him. I do love him so much.

  “Fine.” I agreed and smiled at him. He pulled me to him and kissed me. I missed his kisses so sweet and tender and passionate.

  There was however a new problem. Lavon wants to bite me and make me desire him. If for some reason he was able to get that far, it would not be a good thing. It will be very hard for him to get that close though, seeing how I can read his mind. I’ll hear him if he tries. I think I am better at controlling my gift now, it’s begining to be much easier for me. I’m just glad that I was able to find Mica and stop Lavon from doing what he was thinking. I don’t know what I would do if I actually lost him in a way that I could never see him again or him hold me in his arms, because he could actually, possibly be able to be killed. That any of us could.

  The family did not bother us as we made up under our tree. We sat and talked for hours, he told me more about his son. I’m sure if anyone seen us outside they probably thought we were crazy for being outside in winter with only a sweatshirt and no coats. We don’t need them, but we should have them on for show anyway.

  I did however see Angelic peeking out the upstairs window. I could make out the smile on her face. She was happy to see that the wedding was still on without me even telling her. I was happy also. Now that we have cleared the air of this secret he was keeping we can now hopefully move forward with our life.

  As the night came, we stayed at the house. We talked to the family for a while before going upstairs to our room here. He held me in his arms the way that he knew I liked. I layed my head on his chest. It felt right. I really need to control my actions as well, because I know that he is my soulmate. We are supposed to be together for eternity and I know that he loves me just as much as I love him.

  “Raven, tell me something?” He asked as we laid in the bed.

  “Sure Mica.”

  “Is your craving getting worse to where you were actually going to suck the life from that girl, their at Lavon’s? The one that was there because she was marked by one of the other member’s of that crew.” He looked at me seriously.

  I sighed. “Yes, my craving is getting worse. If you would not have blocked my way, I’m sure that I would have drained her until someone stopped me, if anyone was able to stop me anyway. That and the fact that I seen that Lavon was going to try out his theory on you of how to kill our kind!”

  “I think that in the morning mabe we should talk to the other’s or just dad to see if their is something that we can do to ease your craving. We can’t get married and have any human there with you craving everyone’s blood. Plus their is the fact that soon we will be going to Paris. I was hoping that you would be able to come to the set with me, and plus if your craving is still that strong and their is no one there to stop you from hunting some innocent person.....”

  “Is their a way to actually ease my cravings?”

  “Their is a possible way. We’ll talk to dad in the morning and see what he thinks.”

  Our conversation was ended when he touched his perfect lips to mine. His touch is very powerful. I pushed my craving that had flared up at the mention of blood, to the back of my spacious mind. I could do that when he was touching me in any kind of way that was filled with passion and desire and all the love that not one human person could ever feel without it killing them.

  I wanna explain the power of our love, the way it is pure, even though we have normal mortal spats sometimes. It’s just hard to think of the right words that I can use if their are any words out their that can even describe our love. The power of it, the intensity, the pureness of it, their is a meaning, a purpose to our love. I can feel it in every part of my body and I feel when I’m ready I believe that I will find out and mabe then I will be able to describe the meaning and the power of our truest of any love.

  The night passed, not slowly and not fast. It was wonderful once again showing my love to Mica and him to me. But it is now morning and we need to get dressed and go talk to his dad.

  Charles was in the kitchen when we came downstairs. Mica explained to him about how my cravings were getting to strong and told his father about an option that might work out to ease my cravings. His father agreed to try and see if it would work. He agreed that time was running short if we were to get married at the first of January and then go to Paris soon after that.

  “I will go and buy some blood from one of our aquaintences.” Mica told his father. “It won’t take long.”

  “That will be good. Then as soon as you return, she can drink it and we’ll go from there to see how well it works and to see how often she will need it.”

  That was the plan. To buy me blood from somewhere for me to drink. I guess it could work, but I guess only time will tell. It didn’t take Mica long to return. When he did, he had more blood than I had ever seen. I drank some right away. It did seem to help, but I was only supposed to have one cup a day.
/>   Everyone was pleased to see that I was feeling better once I had some blood. I know that Angelic also drinks blood, but her craving is nowhere near the intensity of mine, plus she told me that she might need it mabe five times a year. Sometimes not that much. I really hope this works.

  Chapter Eighteen

  Tricked, Troubled then Surprised

  Another day has passed and now it is another night. I have had my one cup of blood today, but at the moment it doesn’t seem to be helping at all. I was telling Mica about how strong my craving was at this moment. He was trying to help by taking my mind off of it, but then my phone rang.

  “Let me get it!” Mica said.

  “No I’ll get it, just hold on a sec.” I looked at the number then sighed, but against my own words I answered it.

  “What do you want!” I asked Lavon.

  “I just wanted to hear your voice and of course apologize for the other day. I don’t want you to be mad at me my sweet.”

  “Don’t call me that! You have three seconds to tell me exactly what you want before I hang up!” I scolded him. I seen Mica looking at me and I could tell that he knew who it was. I could see the anger spreading across his face.

  “I need to talk to you.”

  “Were talking.” I said sarcastic.

  “No, I mean I need to talk to you in person. What I half to say needs to be said face to face. I’m outside your house now.”

  “Why are trying to start trouble?” I asked.

  “I’m not I just need to talk to you about Krystal. Okay. I know something that she is planning and I think that you should know. I know that you do not care for me, but I do care for you.”

  “Fine! I’ll be down in a second.” I told him and then hung up the phone. I have no clue why he is trying to be nice for. He must have something up his sleeve. It’s just a feeling that I get I guess.

  I went to get some clothes on and seen Mica about to protest, but I spoke before he had the chance.
