Chapter 23 Cristian's Parents

I am tossing in the bed, scared from all the blood shed I was seeing and the person who was causing it was me.

I woke up scared and afraid, but when I opened my eyes I saw darkness. I sat up straight on the bed and saw someone sitting in the corner looking at me. I try to see who it was but I couldn't.

The person got up and started walking in my direction. I scooted over on the bed edge the closer they came to me. When the person stopped I stopped.

Now I could see who it was. "It's you"

"Now what did I do?" She smirked at me.

"You killed all those people" She stood there watching me with a smirk as my mind gather all the things she did. "I remember"

Her smirk faded. "I remember everything. When you killed the general, all those men and the general's son" I remember all of them like I was there. I never even heard about the general's son being killed.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Why am I doing this?" She asked now looking furious. "Those people, those things are the reason why am doing this."

She walked around to the side on yhe bed I was. "His family ruined my family, our family" I guess she's talking about the general. "Forced us to go in to hiding, act like normal people" She came closer to me and sat on the edge.

"And even though we laid low, they still came after us. Killed all of us and I am here to get my revenge"

"But why me? I don't want to be apart of this"

She came closer up in my face. "I chose you because you are right for this, you have a gift that no one else in our family has"

"But I don't want revenge."

"Not even for your parents?" She got up from the bed.

"What about my parents?" I asked but she didn't answer. "What about them?" She started to move back in the darkness. "What about my parents?!" I shouted angrily but I started to get the worst head ace.

I screamed from the pain. It felt like my head was going to explode. I started drifting off.....

I woke up, in cold sweat screaming from freight. I'm scared. I remember everything like a nightmare. I have a demon out for revenge and death on her hands well my hands.

What did she mean about my parent? Did they kill them?

I pulled my self together because Cristian's parents are coming today and I want make a good impression. I got out off the bed still shaken up and went in the bathroom, took a shower and washed my hair.

I got out and got dressed and did my original hair routine before going done stairs. I saw Gabriella and the other cooks preparing breakfast.

When gabriella saw me she smiled and handed me my food. "Enjoy".

I sat down at the table and had my breakfast. Neither Simon nor Cristian came for breakfast and it's probably to get everything ready for their family's arrival.

I was about to get up and leave but Daniel came in. He sat beside me. "Well hello gorgeous"

"Don't you have to help your brother get things ready for your parents?"

"Why? I don't live here"

I rolled my eyes and asked Gabriella for a cup of coffee. She gave it to me and I took a sip.

"Sorry, I'm not feeling myself today. Can I feel you instead?" He smirked at me.

"Would you stop with the pickup lines, it's not gonna happen"

"That what they always say baby cheeks" He got up from his seat.

I was about to take another sip but I stopped. "No, no, no. I tolerated gorgeous, do not call me baby cheeks"

"Ok baby cheeks" he smiled and walked out the kitchen.

I scuffed and finished my coffee.

......

Cristian's family are supposed to be here in 5 mins and am scared. I couldn't get what happened this morning out off my head and I think I might go crazy.

"Hey you good?" Simon popped his head from behind the door. "I can smell your anxiety from down the hall"

"Sorry am just nervous" and worried about what my demon might do next.

"That nervous huh? Well you better calm down because you do not smell good"

Oh no. I start freaking out. I start spraying perfume all over me.

"Not helping!" Simon shouted with a sour face.

I got so worried I wanted to cry. Simon walked over to me. "Hey calm down. It's not like their scary. Well uncle Al is a little scary."

"Not helping" I stated.

"Just breathe" We did our regular breathing technique and it got my heart rate down and more calm.

He sniffed the air. "Perfect" He smiled. "Lets go I hear them pulling in"

We ran out of my room, down the stairs. Cristian, his brother and that guy from the kitchen were already at the front door. As we walked up to them I asked Simon who is he.

"That's Jeremiah. He's third in command" That caught me by surprise.

We were directly behind them, I was behind them mostly to hide. I know not good first impression but am scared.

I heard two cars stopped and the persons came out. How many people were coming? I heard a heart beat fasten and it was Cristian's. Why is he nervous?

Him and his brother walked up to them and greet them. I couldn't see anything because I was behind Simon. A little after Jeremiah went up to them, leaving me and Simon at the door.

"Aunt Laura" Simon shouted. He was about to walk away from me but I grabbed the back of his shirt.

"Don't leave me" I whispered.

"Come on" he grabbed a hold of my hand and pulled me out with him. All I was telling him no and to let me go, he did not listen.

"Oh Simon, how have you been?" A woman with a very strong spanish accent asked. My guess Cristian's mother.

She's beautiful, with short curly brunette hair and has hazel eyes. She looked like she was in her mid forties but knowing how vampires age she is much older than that.

"You know same old, same old" Simon answered.

"Oh honey, I don't know if that's good or bad"

"Don't worry. Me either" he gently patted her shoulder before going up to a tall man talking to Cristian.

He looks like an older version of Cristian and Daniel, so he must be the father. He is a bit bigger than them but they do have a similar face.

"Uncle Al" Simon barged in on Cristian and the man talking and hugged him, but the man didn't hug him back. "Wow man, you look great." He looked him up and down and smiled. "Did you lose weight?"

"Simon if you don't get your hands off me I will rip your head off and mail it to your parents" The man said with the deadliest glare I have ever seen.

Simon slowly took his hands off him and took slow steps back. "Ok big guy" He slowly walked over to me.

"Where is the girl?" The man asked.

"That girl is right here" Simon shouted pointing at me.

The man looked at me and smiled. He walked up to me and introduced himself. "I'm Alejandro Hernandez, nice to meet you" he puts his hand out and I shake it.

"Hi am Elle cooper"

Something about him just sets me off, like I know him from somewhere.

"This is my wife, Laura and the Olsen's family" He turn to a woman and a man and all they did was look at me. Creepy. "Their daughter should be coming tomorrow" Alejandro turned to Cristian and smiled.

"Why is Olivia coming here?" Simon asked with distaste.

"Ok! Everyone let's just get settled in and we will have a talk in my office tomorrow morning" Cristian said before his father could answer.

Some of Cristian's men helped them with their bags. I was about to go inside but his mother stopped me.

"Sweetie, Can I please talk to you?" She asked sweetly as she took me to the side.

"Of course Mrs hernandez" I am trying to be polite.

"Just call me Laura" She smiled. "I might be old but believe it or not I have never met a succubus before"

"Don't worry neither have I" I laughed trying to make a joke but she didn't laugh so I stopped.

"I just want to let you know if you need anything you can come to me ok? No need to be scared of us" She is so sweet.

"Thank you" She hugged me which was surprising and caught me off guard.

"Ok I am going to go inside now" She said. She saw Simon and Daniel play fighting and started shouting at them.

"Si ustedes dos idiotas no dejen de jugar, los mandaré al infierno con mis propias manos!" I might not speak Spanish but whatever she said did not sound good.

Btw she said if you two idiots don't stop playing I will send you to hell with my bare hands.

"Lo siento mama"

"Lo siento tía Laura" Both Simon and Daniel stopped and apologized.

......

It was the next day and we were all in Cristian's office.

"So I got word from the demons that they found the general's son dead, stabbed in the throat with one of his ear bitten off. They think the same person that killed his father killed him" Alejandro turned around and looked at me.

I looked down not wanting to meet his stare.

"Yeah I heard about that" Cristian said but a little low.

I snapped my head up and watched him intently as he spoke. Why didn't he tell me about this?

"Dad, you said you know a way to help Elle. What's that?"

"You said she has been training but has she trained with any weapons?"

"What do you mean?"

He turns to me and looks me up and down. "A succubus is a wielder of a sword. They are naturally good at it"

I do remember reading about swords and skills they have.

"When the demon king created a succubus he wanted them only for his self and obviously he was going to make her beautiful and knew other men would want her, so he gave her a gift she could use to defend herself" he looked at me one last time before turning back to Cristian. "Which was stupid because that's what killed him"

Everyone started talking and inputting their opinions while I just stood at the back and didn't say a word. I would still keep getting glances from Alejandro but I choose to ignore him.

"She has to start training with a sword" Alejandro said.

"Ok, what do you say Elle?"

I snapped my head up hearing my name. After they all had discussions and made decisions without me they want my input now.

"Sure, whatever" I said in a less polite way.

Cristian looked at me before nodding and dismissing us. I was at the door so I was the first one out.

"Hey wait up baby cheeks" Daniel ran up to me.

I rolled my eyes. "What do you want Daniel"

"Just want to say you remind me of the 20 letters of the alphabet"

"There is 26 letters, idiot"

"Silly me. How could I forget U R A Q T"

I laugh at his attempt. "That's five, you need one more"

"Don't worry, you'll get the D later"
