Mated to My Enemy novel Chapter 51

I shake my head as I process everything. After Zander and the man brought me here, they drugged me. That's all I remember. Wait. Kat wasn't alone when Zander brought me here. That's when I finally noticed the hunched figure in the corner. My mother.

I suck in a breath and just looked at her. She hadn't spoken nor moven this whole time. I just sit there shocked. She has the same eyes, nose, and full lips as me. Or should I say I have the same as her. I don't move or blink as I just sit there. She finally moves and her eyes peer staright into my eyes.

"I can't believe it's you." she saids, her voice cracking and tears well up in her eyes.

I stay quiet, unsure of how to react or say.

"My Daphne," she saids, different emotions swirling in her eyes.

I finally croak out, "Mom."

She holds out her arms signalling for a hug. I always wondered how I would react when I saw her. I always thought I woould yell at her and make her explain why she abandoned our family. Or maybe send her off on a spaceship. Hey, I was ten when I thought of that!

I just, I never did think I would ever actually find her. And now that I had her infront of me, there was only one thing I wanted to do. I ran to her and started sobbing asI hugged her. She did the same. We stayed like that for a while.

After we both calmed down, I asked her the question thats been burning inside me.

"Why did you leave?" I ask, the hurt clearly evident in my voice.

"Oh hunny, I never left," she said, as she put a hand on my cheek.

"But, why weren't you there?" I ask, trying not to break down again.

I don't know what I would do without her. She's always so bright and happy. She brings the light in my dark life. Kat and Daphne are the most important people in my life. It makes me feel powerless and weak that I can't help them now.

Speaking of weak, I feel the room spin and I have to stop pacing to go and sit on the bed. I haven't had much blood in a week and it's really starting to get to me. They have only brung me small amounts of blood to keep me concious but weak enough to fight back. I'm really starting to feel the lack of blood now.

They come every other day to give me blood at the same exact time. When I start to feel dizzy and can barely stand. This time though, I have decided that I will use every ounce of my energy that I have left and will attack the vampire that brings me the blood so I can escape. Maybe go to Arron and ask for help because I will be too weak to help the girls alone.

So its set then. I sit on the bed and try to calm myself to save my energy for when they come. It will be in a few more minutes since the lack of blood is starting worsen.

Soon, I hear the footsteps that are coming this way. I quickly lay in bed and shut my eyes and act that I'm asleep so that I may have an upper hand. I hear the door being unlocked and they open it slowly. I crack open my eyes a little bit to see that it's a young woman. I feel bad that I have to hurt her but, if this is the only way of escaping and helping the others, then this is what I should do.
