Sirens of the Abyss

Chapter 14

-Faleen POV-

I had made it to shore and was no running naked to the oasis. I didn't stop until I got to the cabin. It was just how we had left it.

I walked up to the door and placed my hands on it. I could feel my own heart beat from my hands up against the door. I took the key I had in my hand and unlocked it.

Everything was the same. It felt like he was her somehow. Maybe because this was the last place I was with him.

I went to my room and took sweat pants and a hoodie out of the dresser. It was freezing in here. I didn't feel like this last time. I could see my own breath. I saw my dad's tan woolen coat hanging on the coat hanger by the door. My heart felt like it was jumping up and down. I snatched it off the coat hanger and held it close to me and slide down to the floor against the door.

It smelled just like him. The sent of before it rained...

I started to cry into his coat. "You can't be gone dad..you just can't," I said out loud to myself. I felt like i had nothing now. My father was the only one who cared about me. My mother and Cleo couldn't care less. They probably didn't even go looking for dad when he didn't come back.

I started to feel anger replace my sadness. I tightened my hands around my father's shirt. I decided to pay a visit to my so called "family" while I was still here.

I crept into the backyard and opened the sliding glass door. For some reason they thought it was okay to leave it open since we lived in the middle of freaking no where.

I went down the hall to my mothers room and the door was slightly opened and I could hear Cleo and my mother talking.

"Sweet heart can you pass me the glass on the table," she said softly. I heard Cleo's footsteps. "Of your mom whatever you need," Ugh..god they made me sick.

"Ellie dear now what did you want to talk to us about?"My mother asked. Ellie was in my mom's room?

"Yes," I heard Ellie's sweet soft voice say. "I'm worried about Faleen. She hasn't come back and i was wondering if we could possibly go look for her?"

Ellie always made my heart feel warmth. She cared about others well-being.

I heard my mother scoff,"Oh honey she's fine." I heard a creak in a chair probably someone sitting in it.

"You don't know for sure though. You haven't even tried to look for her. What if something happened to her and we are just sitting her doing nothing," Ellie started to raise her voice.

"Faleen is fine dear don't worry so much. If she wants to come home she will come home," My mother replied.

"Besides honestly were better without her. She was a ink blot in our proud name," Cleo added.

I heard a chair screech on the floor like it was forced back.

"I see why she left now. She left because of you. You don't care what happens to her! She could be dead and you would dance on her grave!" Ellie screamed. I never heard her like this. It sounded like she was crying.

"We would do no su-," my mother tired to say but Ellie cut her off.

"Don't even try to be nice! A family who loved her would start looking immediately for her and wouldn't stop til they found her! Your no such family! You would rather see her gone!" I heard heavy footsteps coming towards the door and I put my back against it. The door swung open and Ellie stormed out with tears in her eyes.

Ellie was right though. They wouldn't look for me because they didn't want me in this family. I decided to walked out in front of my mother's door.

"How dare that little brat! Telling us what we would and what we wouldn't do," Cleo said agitated.

I closed the door behind me and got their attention. My mother's eyes were narrowed on me and my sister looked like she saw a ghost.

I walked over to the liquor cabinet an poured myself a glass of scotch and drank it.

I looked over at the both of them, "So...Ink Blot uh?"

My mother was the first to speak, "So you were snooping" she was tapping her fingers in the arm of the chair.

Cleo marched up to me and grabbed my hand wrist tight,"You have a lot of nerve coming back here!" she hissed at me.

I back handed her and she stepped two steps back. I was beyond done with them and I wanted them to know.

"You b***h!" Cleo screamed at me. "How dare you hit me!"

I smirked "Well you hit me so now were even."

My mother got up and walked towards me,"Why did you come back Faleen. We all know you hate it here. So why did you return?"

"My father.." I said holding the place the pearl was.

"Well then why don't you go see him then instead of harassing us," and she turned away.

I was aghast, "He is not here.." I said.

My mother turned towards me, "Well he is probably around here somewhere. Go find him and leave us be." She sat back down and preceded to ignore me.

I was livid I felt heat rising from me,"He's Dead."

They both turned to me and laughed. "Your fathers not dead we just saw him a few days ago. Honestly child where do you come up with this pathetic lies,"my mother said and continued to laugh.

They thought I was joking. I felt my hands heat up and looked down. They were a burst with green glowing flames. My mother and Cleo stared at me in wonder and my mother stood up.

"What the hell is that Faleen?" My mother said cautiously.

The flames looked like they were licking the air around my hands. I started to play with it in my hands. It didn't burn me if anything I just felt warm.

"I told you father was dead and you laughed and me. You thought I was joking. You never knew dad like I did. He was the generous and kind person in this whole damn messed up family and was the only one who cared." Tears started to roll down my eyes.

"And when I tell you he is dead you laugh..." My flames grew bigger, my anger and pain feeding it.

"You were never a mother Elena, your nothing but a empathetic selfish monster." I raised my hand to her.

"Faleen stop this!" my mother yelled.

"NO! Your going to listen to me! I hate you! It should of been you! You should of died. Your the one I could of lived without but not him. I hate that a kind soul like him suffered and not you. I will never understand why he picked you as a mate but in my opinion he was better off never meeting you and I would of been fine never being born because he wouldn't have met you!" My flames were roaring now.

Cleo was grabbing my mother arm. "What are you going to kill us just because father died?" Cleo started to laugh but she was still scared.

"Kill you? No I'm not a monster like you. Unlike you I have a heart and its breaking in to pieces because apart my soul feels like its shattered. You can live out your idiotic lives I don't give a s**t anymore. Just know that I never want to see either of you again." I pointed my flames at our family picture above my mother fireplace, with my father in the middle and his hand on my shoulder. Seeing his smile made my heart break. I screamed and my flames burst from my hands and covered the picture melting the photo instantly only leaving Elena and Cleo half burned and the picture floated down to the floor onto the ashes of the rest of the picture.

They both started at me awe struck and scared. "I have no family as far as your concerned. So scratch me out of everything you have here cause I want nothing to do with either of you." My flames were dying down now and I left the room.

I left out the backdoor and headed to the cabin to my fathers coat. I would start somewhere new. I would have a family of my own and Id would never treat my children in the way my mother had. My mate would know I loved him and I would never abuse that love.

I looked up at the starry sky and said aloud, "I'm so sorry that this happened to you dad..I love you, Forever and ever."
