1408 Words
MEETING MY MOTHER.
“Ryeidon that's your name.”
“Yes princess, why don't you like it?”
“No, it suits you.”
Her attention turns to the big white room with lights around them and the photo of my mother hanging.
“What happened to her, she's so beautiful.”
FLASH BACK.
The day started like any ordinary day. I was playing outside with my little brother kye and my father was in the workshop building a bird's house. A siren went off in the area suddenly, and we were all told to get in doors and stathere .
Mother came through the door just in time for the lockdown. She'd gone to the grocery to get ingredients to make my brother's once favorite meal. Spaghetti tacos.
We did as was told and stayed indoors, mom started cooking and dad went to take a shower as my brother and I set the table, it didn’t take mom long to get the meal ready and when she did we all sat down on the couch with our plate in hand about to turn on the television.
Dad decided to switch off the air conditioning and open the windows a split second before mom turned on the television, when mom turned on the television the first message that came up was. Stay indoors and keep your windows and doors closed.
It was too late. Dad had already opened the window and both him and Kye, who we hadn't noticed moved from our side we’re looking out at what was happening outside.
I dropped my plate and ran to the window. Took hold of the handles to close it when a rough wind blew through the space and hit us dead in the face.
Kye and dad were the first to hit the floor, their eyes rolling and their bodies banging against the floor, within a split second, the same thing happened to me.
I looked up before I blacked out to warn mom to get a mask and cover her face, but she didn't. She just stood there, looking at us. I guess seeing her little family laying on the floor close to death stopped her from trying to save herself.
I can’t remember when I woke up but when I did dad did also, what we didn’t know was that Kye woke up first and started feeding from mom, sucking all the blood from her body.
Dad wanted to kill him at first but when he smelt the blood, and he felt the urgency to drink it he understood, he ran away that day and didn’t come back until two days later.
Kye and I had to fend for ourselves and find people and animals to drink from. Cats, dogs, and rabbits. We lived near a pet shop, so that was a plus.
Later on after dad became strong and built his own colony along with some friends he made this for mom and put her remains inside and hung her most beautiful picture.
END OF FLASHBACK.
“What is her name?”
“Hayami. It’s Japanese, it means rare beauty, just like my mother.”
“A beautiful name for a beautiful woman.” She said,
“Thanks.”
“Was she Japanese?” She asked,
“Yes.”
“こんにちはミザー*の**はソルです。*はあなたの**のライ**の*です。お*いできてとてもうれしいです。
Kon'nichiwa mizā watashinonamaeha sorudesu. Watashi wa anata no musuko no rai Ōji no tsumadesu. O ai dekite totemo ureshīdesu.”
English translation.
“ Hello mother, my name is Sol, I'm your son, Prince Rye’s wife. It's a pleasure to meet you.”
“You speak Japanese?”
“Along with many other languages.”
“Yeah like, what?”
“French, Spanish, Greek. I had to learn them.”
I looked at her and then looked at my mother, she would have loved Sol to death. She would have pampered her.
Our drive back to the castle was quick, too quick. I wish I could have sat with her somewhere a little longer and gotten to know her better. But I received a text from Frank saying that Kyro was ready to apologize.
Before going to see Kyro in the dungeon, I walked Sol to our room for her to bathe and change before coming down for dinner..
Walking towards the dungeon I try clearing my head, I just had the most magical time with my wife and I want that to stick with me. But how could it when that trash can is sitting waiting for me.
His face is drenched with sweat and his back is bloody, he drops his head as I enter and speak.
“You and your people are maniacs, you know that.”
“And you and your people aren’t.”
“I’m sorry my sister had to marry a psychopath with a split personality.”
“She’ll never see that side of me, Ryeidon is only for people like you.”
“People like me.”
“Scums who take pleasure in hitting women, do you think I’ve never seen the scars on her back.”
“You touched her.” He stood tall in front of me.
“Of course she’s my wife after all, what am I not to touch her. Should I have not run my hand through her hair when she sleeps in my arms at night? But enough about my married life: go bath and get changed, you'll be joining us for dinner and you'll be leaving first thing in the morning.”
I“…”
“Ohh and don't come back until the ball, my wife doesn't seem to like it when you're around.”
I smile and walk away.
During dinner, everyone eats and talks about their day. The father wasn't seated at the table yet, as he had a matter to attend to. Sol was sitting next to Kye talking to him and his pet, and I sat eating and listening on in amusement.
“So Ryeidon don't you have any pets?”
Every head raised from their plates and looked at me as Kyro spoke, Frank stepped forward and was about to smack him upside the head, but I stopped him.
“No, not, not anymore at least.”
“Why?”
“Because I sucked her to death on the night of the full moon many years ago.”
“Ohhh.”
“Continue eating everyone, please.” I say to the others,
“Do you intend to get another Ryeidon ?.”
“No, I have a wife I can drink from now.”
That seemed to hit a nerve because he stopped eating and dropped his spoon,
“B positive is my favorite, everyone knows that, even your mother.” I smiled a wicked smile.
Father came down before I could answer and took his seat at the head of the table and Kyro shut his trap instantly. It’s one thing to mess with me but it’s another to mess with my father. To every good man there’s a bad side and I’ll leave it at that.
“ Kyro, did you apologize to my daughter-in-law for your rude outbursts earlier on today.” father asked,
“Ohh it's ok father, he did…”
Father slammed his hands down onto the table, taking us by surprise.
Kyro got out of his seat, walked over to Sol and got down on his knees.
“Princess Sol, my sister…”
I kicked him,
“Princess Sol of Doris. I apologize for my outburst earlier today. I seek your forgiveness.”
“Apology accepted.” Sol said.
He returned to his seat and continued eating in silence.
Before I could even reach my bedroom door, I heard my father calling out to me. After having a long conversation about how Victor and Louis weren't too happy with the lesson I taught their son. I could care less for them more than I did.
Well to bad I don’t care what they think as long as I’m around no one will disrespect her.
I open the bedroom door to find Sol standing with her hand gripping to her chest.
