Sinister Von Monroe

Chapter 22

"Sinister..." Jess whispered. Sinister's eyes didn't move from her reflection in the mirror. "Sin…" Jess repeated. Sinister's eyes shifted to look at Jes for a moment. "Let's get you something to eat" Jess whispered again. Sinister's eyes shifted over to Shadow. She stood as her gaze didn't break from Shadow. Taking him by the collar of his shirt and pushing him hard against the wall. "Fix this", Sinister's voice was rough and dry as she then let him go. Jess took Sinister by her arm and guided her to the door.

Sinister's Stomach growled, and it took her by surprise. Jess laughed as Sinister looked around for the growling nose. "And what are you laughing at?" Sinister snickered at her laugh. "Oh nothing" was all Jess stated as they entered the dining hall. Taking a seat, Sinister glared down at the food that was present on the table. "And am I supposed to eat this?" Sinister raised a brow as she picked up a fork and poked at the scrambled eggs that were on her plate. Jess grinned as she had already started to eat her food. Sinister looked at her plate once more, poking at it. The bacon was greasy, the toast hard like a rock and the scrambled eggs looked like a pile of puke. "It isn't going to bite you", Jess teased as she took another bite. "If I get fat" Sinister looked at her and pointed her fork, at her direction "I swear, this Kingdom won't like me." Sinister stated as she stabbed the fork into the scrambled eggs and brought it to her face.

Taking a small bite, Sinister chewed, and her face dropped as she couldn't describe the exploding taste in her mouth. With each chew she made the more she inhaled more of the food in front of her. Jess laughed and Sinister looked up from the plate. "What are you laughing at?" Sinister chewed loudly as food fell from her mouth as she spoke. "You." She laughed again "You don't have to inhale it all at once". She finished. Sinister looked at her as she held a piece of bacon and pointed it at her as she went to reply. "Shut up, It is the only thing I have going for me at the moment." Jess shook her head with a grin.

Sinister sat back in her chair and looked at Jess. "Have something else on your mind? Other than my eating", Sinister grinned lightly. Jess shook her head lightly before she spoke "James... he had made a proposal to the counsel about taking over the Immortal Kingdom". Gripping her fists into tight balls, Sinister slammed them down hard on the table. "f*****g i***t! Sinister growled lowly. "Sinister…" Jess blinked and looked at her. "No, f**k no" Sinister stood "Don't give me that, Don't even attempt to give me that. This Kingdom is weak and with me being". She raised her hands in the air. "A human, there is no chance of any kind of win". Sinister's face grew with uncontrolled emotions. Then she sighed deeply. "I won't let my people be damned to the burning flames of hell because of what one did to this Kingdom" Sinister looked at Jess. Jess nodded. "You can always take the throne. Thus, what James intends". Jess spoke. "I will do no such thing, I don't want a throne! And do you really think my people would listen to a human?" Sinister laughed aloud.

"I will also not take orders from the over-privileged pirate king, '' Sinister huffed as she turned to leave Jess. "Sinister, wait! Just take a moment to think about this offer". Jess stood and yelled at her. Sinister chuckled and looked back at Jess. "Why? What has he done for me? Other than to prove over and over again that he doesn't want my kind nor I around", Sinister snapped back. Jess slammed her hands hard on the table. "For heaven's sake, for once, just once, can you even think about someone other than you? Is it really that hard to see that this kingdom is trying to open a gateway to peace?" Jess snarled. Sinister shook her head. "Peace? You think peace will just come and give you a warm hug?" Sinister rolled her eyes. "You are a ruler! Start acting like one, because dear Queenie, the crown that you have sitting on your head comes with nothing but sorrow and ruthlessness." Sinister spat the last of her words out as she then marched out of the room.

Sinister held her breath as she reached the castle's door, only to stop to look at the glowing sun that was shining in the sky above. Taking a small step outside, the sun covered her skin and at that moment she felt everything. The warmth on her skin to the air that blew lightly around her. Sinister was enjoying the moment of the warmth she so longed to feel again. A clearing of the throat made her close her eyes and let out a sigh. Turning and facing the man for once, she didn't have anything to say. "I see the rumors are true. You are human…" Stefan's voice held a small quiver in it. Sinister nodded to his question.

"Yes, I am human" Sinister's voice broke as she replied to him. "And when were you going to tell me?" His voice turned to harshness. "Stefan, it wasn't the time nor..." He cut her off "I see you haven't changed. Still speaking lies and never fully reasoning about things". He held his hand up as he talked. "And here I thought you might have changed since the battle, I am your son, and yet. I was the last to know about everything once again", he blurted out as he put his hand down. "I am done trying to gain your favor in love"His words cut Sinister deeply as he then turned to leave. "Stefan!" Sinister screamed to make him turn back around.

"You are nothing but a child, wanting and wishing but most importantly crying about mommy issues!" Sinister finished as she looked at him, taking in what she had just told him. "You know all I have ever asked from you was the damn truth! Nothing more and nothing less. You think your story is nothing but the most horrific compared to the others surrounding you? In reality, yours is the same as everyone else's and keeping things that can improve or help the ones you say you love from them only makes you the villain in everyone's book." He yelled back at her as his eyes grew with anger. Sinister gritted her teeth then softened her facial expressions. "You remind me so much of your uncle" Sinister let out a sigh.

"An uncle? See what I am talking about? Having information that I would like to know about where I come from," he shouted once more. Sinister looked at the man that was once a child in her eyes. "Family drama shouldn't be repeated to children" was all Sinister stated. He rolled his eyes with a huff "And, yet I am no child. I have killed men all alike, been to war to come out as a warrior. What more do I have to prove to you that I am ready to take on any burden you have?" His voice was full of pain. Sinister watched as her heart had a sharp pain for the first time. Sinister grabbed at her chest as her blue eyes widened as she fell to her knees. "Mother!" Stefan yelled as he ran to her to hold her close to his frame. "I... I.. Can't breathe…" Sinister struggled to form words as her chest grew tighter with pain. "Mother!" Stefan yelled as he cradled her in his arms to rush towards the castle.
