Special Blood: Slyther's

The truth is revealed

I ran towards my mother who was lying helplessly on the floor with blood on her right hand. I was so panicked that I couldn't think clearly. I could only cry near my mother, before my Papa called from behind.

"Killa, what's going on! Why are you screaming?" he said in panic.

I looked up, then said slowly. "A-I don't know either.. Suddenly Mama ...." I can no longer say. I also don't know why Mama could be like this, why she got hurt, did anyone attack her? but there was no one around.

My father immediately understood, his face stiffened immediately. "You wait here, take care of Mama. Papa's gonna go get the P3K box." My dad ran to get the P3K box, it didn't take long for Papa to come back.

Papa immediately approached Mama, opened the P3K box and immediately wiped the blood on Mama–'s hand wound incision is quite deep– after Papa applied red medicine before tying it with a bandage. While Mama, she was still lying limp while moaning in pain.

Seeing that my heart was sliced, my tears broke. My body feels so hot, it's like it's about to explode. Mama trying to wake–assisted by Papaku– then, Papa grasped Mama's hand tightly.

"Why can Mama be like this?" asked my father with a worried expression.

Mama tightens Papa's hand, then smiles bitterly. As if knowing the meaning, Papa immediately fell silent. His body became limp– his mouth agape.

"Pa, we need to get Mama to the hospital now!" I don't know anymore, this is all I can think about right now.

However, before my Papa answered, Mama's hand suddenly grasped mine. Then Mama smiled. "No need to go to any hospital, baby. Mama just scratched because she fell." My mother's voice sounded weak.

"W-what do you mean, we have to get Mama to the hospital now. Yeah, right, Pa?" I looked up at my father hoping to get support.

However, my father was only speechless with a face that seemed to withstand the extreme pain.

"Pa, why is Papa silent!"

My crying became more and more, but my father shook his head slowly. "Ki-killa, follow what Mama said."

My world is shaken. Why did my Papa suddenly become like this, not at all concerned with the state of Mama.

Mama clasped my hands tighter, her face teary. "Listen to your explanation, dear. It's not like you think, Mama's fine, really." Mama looked at Papa, then the two nodded at each other.

Mama stroked my cheek, then wiped my tears. My hands are warm, like her smile now. Mama took a long breath. "Darling, how old are you now?"

At a time like this, why do you even ask such silly questions. But I answered slowly. "Sixteen years ...."

Mama breathed a second time. Mama caressed my cheek again, like she wanted to say goodbye.

"Listen to Mama, baby. Mama wants to tell you something very important. It may sound silly, but it's true ... Killa, you are actually not an ordinary human being, you are a special creature. And ...." Mama's words stopped, her head bowed.

Papa stroked Mama's back, trying to calm her down. Mama took a long breath. "... And you're not really Mama's son."

The statement seemed to pierce my heart, breaking it to pieces. I nodded, impossible! Mama must be kidding, right?

"Why did Mama suddenly say that? Mom's joking, right?" I said raucous.

Mama just smiled. "Even so Mama, no, I mean Papa and Mama love you very much, son. You are the proud son of Mama."

"I'm sorry, I seem to be interrupting at a crucial time like this, but we don't have much time." Suddenly someone appeared near the door. I turned to the source of the voice, then, I was stunned because I saw Mr. Ferdi in all black clothes.

Mr. Ferdi's face looked serious, and also his aura felt different than usual. It crossed my mind about how Mr. Ferdi could enter the house even though the door was locked tightly.

Mr. Ferdi walked towards Mama, then squatted to align his height with my Mama's body. He then noticed the bandage ties that were on my Mom's arm. "I'm sorry for this negligence, I didn't expect that anyone would be able to barge inside."

Mr. Ferdi bowed his head to my Mama. Actually, what is my relationship with my Class Guardians?

"Sir Ferdi, what exactly is going on here? why did you suddenly come to this house?' I finally got up the courage to raise my voice.

This situation is so confusing.

Mr. Ferdi looked at me seriously. "I'll explain that later. For now, you must come with me. We don't have much time." Mr. Ferdi stood up again, extending his hand towards me.

I cringe. "What do you mean by Father?"

I have to go with Mr Ferdi and leave Mama like that? what a ridiculous thought.

Suddenly Mama held both of my hands together, uniting them into one. "Listen to Mama .. Now, you must come with Mr. Ferdi. This place is no longer safe for you. Please, just listen to me once."

"Why is it not safe? Is someone after me?" My heart beats so fast. This situation is very confusing. "Can Mama tell me the truth? Why should I go with Mr Ferdi?"

Mama was silent, not seeming to answer.

Mr. Ferdi hit me on the nape very quickly. My eyes became blurry. I also fainted.

.........

In a place that was all dark, I was standing here. I don't know where this is and I don't know how I got here. I smell anyir– a very pungent smell of blood–. This place suddenly changed, everything changed into a blood red color.

My feet were soaked by a pool of red water to the calves. My body trembles. What exactly is this place? I was scared to death, I tried to move, but I couldn't. My legs felt heavy, like someone was holding my feet. I tried to scream, but again my voice could not come out.

A trickle of water fell from the sky and fell right before me, creating small waves on the puddles under my feet. The wind blew on my face and it felt very cold, followed by the sound of laughter from behind me, it sounded very close.

I wanted to turn around to see who was laughing, but my body couldn't move at all. My heart is beating fast, it feels like I'm watching a horror movie, no, it's a thousand times scarier than that.

Immediately I heard a very deafening scream from behind, followed by other voices such as: crying; clanging; shaking; as if there were acts of torture in the back. What the hell is going on back there?

After a few minutes, the sounds stopped. Instantly the atmosphere became quiet. My eyes blinked after a drop of air– fell from the top– on my nose. Like a miracle, my body can be moved again. Immediately I turned to the back to confirm the voices. However, there was nothing, only a vast expanse of darkness with a pool of red water. Where did the voice come from?

Cold sweat began to flood my forehead, my body trembling in fear. I swallowed spit. "Is there someone here?" My voice filled the surroundings.

Water drops fell back from the sky, continuously falling, until it became a small drizzle. I heard footsteps coming from the front, but I saw no one.

The sound of the foot kept coming towards me which then brought someone out of the darkness. My eyes were wide open, the article in front of there I saw someone who was very similar to me, maybe it could be said that it was a duplicate of me. He stopped a few meters in front of me, his eyes closed, his clothes were all black, and his skin was as pale as a dead man.

My body shook again, the atmosphere around me became colder than before. The figure opened its eyes to show a black eyeball with a deep red pupils. He then smiled broadly at me, revealing his long canine teeth.

"Who are you?" I said.

The person suddenly laughed. "Isn't it clear .. I ... is .. you!" Then he lunged at me and then strangled my neck tight.

I'm having trouble breathing. I tried to release the clutches of his hands, thrashing, but the clutches of his hands did not come off. The person smiled broadly, like he was enjoying it.

"Death!!"

Nightmares. I woke up with a hunting breath, apparently it was just a dream. I woke up in a room that looked strange. This room is old-fashioned, there are only a few items in this room. Large wooden cabinets are placed close to the entrance, as well as a study table located in the corner close to the window, with brown curtains.

I sat down and tried to recall why I was here. A memory appeared inside my head. Mama! Last time I was with my wounded mother. Then Mr. Ferdi attacked me. Ah, maybe when I fainted Mr. Ferdi brought me here.

"There must be a secret hidden by my mother. I need to find her soon. But first I have to get out of this place."

I got off the bed– creaked, before the soles of my feet touched the floor made of wood. I walked to the door and tried to open it. This door is locked.

"Damn! I'm locked in this room."

"You're not going anywhere." Suddenly a sound came from the window. I directly looked.

I saw a boy sitting in an open window frame with a wide– of sunlight shining on him from behind. The wind blew, fluttering the brown window curtain and making the black hair of the man bobble. I hate to admit it, but the man looks very handsome as well as beautiful.

And for sure, I know who that man is. "Justin, how did you get there?" I cringe. I'm pretty sure that the window was locked.

Justin did not answer, so he jumped into the room and walked towards me. Justin stood right in front of me staring sinisterly, before the door opened, then, there were two people coming inside, a man and a woman. I know so well who they are.

"Justin, here you are, apparently," said the woman.

"I'm looking everywhere you know" the man next door told Justin.

Justin did not pay attention to it, he walked out of the room through the door– very strange– when he entered it through the window.

While the two men approached me. "You must be confused by the situation now, but later you will also know, really," said the woman.

I cringe. "Can you explain, where are we right now?"

"Housing Green Grass, the safest place for creatures like us."

My forehead is getting wrinkled. "A creature like us? what's that supposed?" I'm getting curious. Am I really a creature?

"That will be explained later. For now, let's go downstairs. We're going to have breakfast. Fredic's been waiting for us, you'll definitely be happy to meet him" the man said.

I understood, so I followed the two of them, Alicia and Arka to meet Fredic. Before I knew the truth, Fredic was someone I knew very well.
