BLOOD MATING DEMON

The scream still lingered in my mind as I stared at the mangled wreckage. My parents... they're really gone. The world around me spun, as I felt myself drowning in a wave of grief. "Oceanah! You have been in your room for hours now. Do you want your father and I to starve?" Mom yelled my name from the parlor. "You and dad can start eating, I will be out soon!" I yelled out at her. It was Valentine's Day, a day when humans celebrate love with our loved ones and my parents were the only ones I loved dearly. I was happy God gave me amazing people like them to be my parents. I am Oceanah Green, 24, and the only daughter and child of Mike and Anna, my parents. We weren't rich, but we did things together, and lived in happiness, joy and peace. My father worked somewhere he probably didn't want me to know about. Whenever I asked him about it, he would say to me, Oceanah, you are not ready to know about my work, while my mom was a homemaker. I quickly wrapped the gift I prepared for my parents, stood up, opened the door to my room and was about to leave when my mom burst into my room. She pushed me back inside. "What is the problem, mom?" I asked. She was sweating all over and breathing heavily. She pushed me to the bathroom, and was about to lock the door. I held her from doing so. "What is going on? You are getting me scared!" I asked. "Oceanah, there are so many things you don't need to know now, you just have to keep yourself safe. Do not come out! Until everywhere is calm, okay?" I shook my head, tears clouded my eyes. I don't know what is going on, but I still don't like the fact that my mom is not making me understand anything. "Where is my father? If you don't explain to me what is going on, I will go out and see for myself!" I threatened. She sat me on the restroom sink and bent down in front of me. "Remember this, you are not who you think you are, you have something others are dying to have, and you must not give it to them. Before dawn, someone will come pick you up. He goes by the name Drake. When he comes, you have to follow him wherever he goes and do not let go of him, understood?" I still didn't understand what she was talking about, but just to cut everything short, I nodded. "Why are you telling me all this? Is something happening outside? Is father alright?" I inquired. She held my cheeks, as tears rolled down my eyes. "No matter what happens, you have to promise me that you will stay safe. Do not think too much about us, and always remember we love you!" She stood up. "Mom! Mom!" I called her name, but she didn't reply. She locked the door to the bathroom and left me there. "You ran in here!" I heard a strange voice. It was a masculine voice and I had not heard this voice before. "Don't you want to tell us where she is?" the voice asked. "We don't know what you are talking about. I have told you that she died a long time ago, and we are still looking for her. What do you want us to do?!" Mom yelled. I took my ears closer to the door. There was a little hole in the door, and I peered through. I couldn't see the face of the person who was talking to mom, because he had his face covered with a mask. "Do you want to see Mike end up? I would be glad to do so for you, but I need to know where the girl is, so are you going to tell me or not?" The strange voice asked. "I would rather die, instead of telling you where she is!" Mom cursed. What is she doing? And who are they looking for? I sobbed silently. "You have always been loyal to her, and I see you still are, even when your life is at stake. We are talking about my daughter here, and I want to know where she is. Are you going to tell me or not!" the man yelled. "I won't!" Immediately, mom replied, he stabbed her in her stomach. I closed my mouth from shouting, he kicked her on the spot where he had stabbed her, making her fall to the ground. "That is a poisoned silver knife. You won't be able to survive it, I will come back again. We will meet in our next world," he smirked and left. I waited for what seemed like a minute, but to me, it was like hours passed. I forcefully opened the door and ran to mom. "What is going on, Mom? Why are you on the floor? Wha..!" I cried loudly. I held the spot where she was stabbed to prevent blood from gushing out. "Who did this to you? How..!" "Oceanah, I am very sorry I can't complete my mission. You have to know who you are and be able to fight for yourself. I will see you again!" These were her last words before she gave up. I cried loudly! I cannot believe my mom died in my hands, and I couldn't do anything to save her. "Father!" I ran downstairs, and I stopped at the sight in front of me. My father was lying lifeless on the floor. I rushed to him and he wasn't breathing. "Why are you all doing this to me? How can I survive alone? You promised to take care of me and see me grow into a full woman, what is happening now!" I cried. Suddenly, I felt someone at my back. I could smell it. I picked up a broken glass beside me, turned to stab whosoever was at my back, but before I could do anything, the person held my neck and pinned me to the wall, while I awaited my own death.
