Dark Truth Read online

  “Well I was just wondering...” He hesitated. “ why would you let yourself fall in love with someone like me? You could have any man as beautiful and kind as you are. One that could never hurt you physically or mentally, the way that I can if I’m not careful with you.”

  “Mike you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You shine as if your the star in my nights sky, the moonlight that lights my way in the darkness. So please don’t think that way. I love you more than anything and anyone. I could never be apart from you, much less be with anyone else but you.”

  “Your right Raven. I’m sorry that I even brought it up. You do know that I feel the same way about you also?”

  “Of course I do Mike.” I said smiling at him now.

  After that we drove back to his house, where he lived with his family. When we pulled into his driveway, I could see thier beautiful three story white house. As we got out of the car, we were met by Mike’s dad Robert, who already knew that we were comming. See his dad has the gift of sight, meaning that he has the ability to see the future.

  “Hello Raven. It’s very nice to see you again.”

  “Thank you Robert. I’m glad to be back here again.” I said smiling.

  We walked into the house where we were met by his sister Ashley.

  “Hey Raven!” She shouted as she ran over to me and gave me a big hug. “How have you been? Mike never brings you here anymore.”

  “Ashley you know the reason I don’t like to bring her here that much.” He said irritated with his playful sister.

  “Yeah. I know, but still we all miss her. She brightens our day when it just plainly reeks of bordeum around here.”

  “Exactly.” said Mike’s fun loving brother Miguel. “She is family now that she has found you. We won’t let the ancient’s harm her in any way. Besides she is keeping our secret. I know for a fact that she will never tell anyone, she loves us to much.” He was smiling.

  About that time I came out of my fantacy and realized that the movie had cut off,--for a while now it looks like-- while I was daydreaming about my perfect man and my perfect family. In a world that would be perfect for me.

  It is so hard for me, when I come out of my fantacy’s. Thats when I realize that it is not true and that my life is not that perfect. Considering who I live with and who I have to put up with everyday. That and because I know that I will never really have the chance to meet Mike Wolfe or having a great family as the one’s in the movie.

  Even though I do know the reality of it all, it will not stop me from trying to figure out how I will get to the day when me and Mike may finally meet. Then.., he kisses me as gently and as softly as he does in my fantacy’s.

  I still need to figure outwhat this weird feeling is , when I see him in the movie or think about, dream, or fantasize about him and why it gets stronger each time, and more everyday.

  I got up and fixed Lavon’s dinner had it sitting on the table for him when he gets home. I ate then I went upstairs to go on to bed. I want to be asleep before he gets home. I really do not feel like listening to his arguing and his threats against me.

  The night passed quickly. I was up and had Lavon’s breakfast fixed and on the table ready for him, for when he got up. I was already dressed, so I went down to see my mom for half the day then the rest of the day I went to my cousin Lila’s house and hung out for a while. I knew that Lavon was going to be furious with me when I got home but I’m not about to let him hold me prisoner in that house.

  A week has passed. Nothing has changed. Lavon is still cussing me everyday and threatining me. I don’t know why I just don’t leave him. I guess even though he can be really mean the majority of the time, in a way I still love him. He can be sweet sometimes even when it’s only about once or twice every two weeks or so. Or mabe I’m just fooling myself.

  This morning I decided to leave again before Lavon woke up. I’m at my mom’s house spending the day with her and also my cousin Lila, who seems to be here alot these days.

  “Raven, why are you still obsessing over the very famous Mike Wolfe? It’s not like you will ever get to meet him, just let it go.” Lila said to me.

  “Hey, a girl can dream can’t she. Plus I’m still having those weird feeling about him and the one’s who play his family in the movie.”

  “Rave. You are more than dreaming.” she said sarcastically. “You are seriously obsessing over him. It’s like he’s the only person that matters to you.” I rolled my eyes at her. “Look your going to make your life harder, if you don’t stop this.”

  “And how am I going to make my life harder? If I may ask.” I rolled my eye’s. As if my life can get any worse than it is, at the moment anyway.

  “For one, Lavon is going to end up really hurting you one day. I personally don’t want to see that happen, and you won’t leave him.”

  “Lila when it comes to Lavon these days, my life is already hard. My fantacy’s make it easier to cope with the life that I have been delt.”

  “Hey girls.” My mom Chelsy interrupted us. “What are you two in here fussing about?”

  “Nothing much aunt Chelsy. Just telling your silly daughter that if she don’t stop this Mike Wolfe buisness, that her life is bound to get alot harder with Lavon.”

  “She’s right Raven. Except I wish that you would just leave Lavon. He has never been good for you, he is way to controlling, thats not healthy. And you do need to stop obsessing over someone that you can never and will never have.” My mom told me.

  I sighed. “You are right about the controlling thing with Lavon. But honestly I really feel something for Mike. Rather or not I meet him. I can’t seem to get him out of my mind or my dreams, he stars in them every night.”

  They just looked at each other like I was seriously crazy or something. Which in truth some things I say may sound crazy to other people even though it sounds perfectly sane to me.

  After our little dispute, we decided to go out shopping and some places.I think that they are trying to get my mind off of Mike. I hate to tell them that is a very very hard thing to do. He is at the center of my life right now, even if it’s only in my mind. Well I love them for trying anyway’s.

  When I got home this evening, like always Lavon was waiting in the kitchen to argue and interragate me.

  “Where have you been?” He yelled.

  “I was with my mom and Lila. What is the big deal?” I said making a mistake by yelling back at him.

  He back handed me across my face and I flew into the kitchen cabinets and hit my head on the knob on one of the doors. It really hurt, but I tried not to give him the satisfaction of seeing the pain ripple across my face.

  “You know that you need my permission before you leave this house. Besides who’s to say that I didn’t have plans for us today.” He said still yelling.

  My temper flared after that and after he hit me. “Mabe because,you never have plans to go out and do anything with me. And another thing I am twenty-one years old, if I needed a man’s permission, I would go find my so called father.” I screamed back at him with the fury he was making me feel.

  I have not seen my father since, well I can’t really remember. Him and my mother split up when I was very young, so I don’t have a real strong memory of him, I barely remember what he looks like.

  “Raven if you are going to be with me, and you will. You have to start staying at home.”

  “I don’t go anywhere Lavon. What to my mom’s or cousins. It’s not like I am out partying and having all kinds of fun with people that I don’t know.” I looked at him like he was just stupid. “Can we please stop fighting for at least one day, please?”

  “Fine.” He yelled with a very furiated look on his face. “Can you just fix me some dinner?”

  I fixed us some baked chicken breast’s and baked potatoes with sourcrea
m and roll’s. We sat down to eat around six-thirty. Throughout the whole dinner he didn’t say a word to me, he just glared at me from across the table and I just glared right back without speaking also.

  Chapter Two

  Am I Dreaming

  A month has passed since the day that Lavon threatened me that if I want to be with him, I will be with him,that I will start staying at home and be with no one but him. It’s also been a month since the day that he hit me, and it wasn’t the last time he did.

  I’ve been staying at home, but just to amuse him, plus I don’t want to put gas in the fire, and let people see the bruises that he sometimes leaves when he hits me. Thats what I keep telling myself anyway.For some odd reason I’m still here with him. I guess I’m just plain crazy,to stay here and get hit on and cussed at every single day.

  Well anyway. My fantacy’s are starting to become more real. And I am nowhere near closer to getting what I need than I was a month ago. It’s really starting to get frustrating, because I’m still having the same feelings when I think about Mike Wolfe and when I watch the movie DARK LOVE. It feels seriously like I really truelly know him, even though I know I don’t. Uhggg..., so frustrating I swear!

  Only now the feelings are so strong that they are starting to be unbareable, it almost hurts to have them, but they won’t go away, they just get sronger and stronger and more real. I’m still racking my brain though, about what these feelings mean and why they are so strong. And I’m still comming up with empty thoughts, no clue at all.

  My fantacy’s are starting to get hard for me even. Like I said before they are becomming more and more realistic like it’s really happening.

  I swear just yesterday that I seen Mike standing inside my room by my bedroom window. Lavon was still at work of course. Mike walked over to my bed where I was sitting and sat down right next to me.

  Then he caressed my face with the tips of his fingers. His hands then slowly moved down to my neck and then my stomache and to my waist, where he paused. My heart was beating so fast my pulse racing, it was hard for me to breath right at his touch that felt so real. He made an expression as if asking permission before he did what he did next. Of course it was fine with me it was after al my fantacy.

  Then he slid his hand up my shirt and pulled it off of me. He quickly kissed my lips, which were shivering from the realness of his lips touching mine. And of course I could still feel my heart skipping beats from the realness of everything that was going on.

  And then, just when he was about to slide his lips down to my neck to kiss me there. He stopped. My eyes were closed, but when I opened them to see why he had stopped, he had suddenly disappeared. I thought I was loosing it!

  But my shirt was really off, and Iswear that I heard his muffled laughter right after he disappeared. I sat around all day yesterday trying to figure out what on earth was happening to me. Is what happened real or was it just my imagination running out of control? Did I take my own shirt off. I must be loosing it.

  When Lavon had come home, I heard him pull into the driveway and then heard the front door open then close.

  “Raven I’m home.” He yelled waiting on me to answer him.

  “I’m upstairs in the bed. Your dinner is on the stove. I”m just really tired right now, I’ll see you in the morning.” I said quickly so he knew that I was supposed to be going to sleep and he wouldn’t bother me. I was hoping that my Mike would come back to me, but to my luck he never came back. I swear sometimes I litterally think that I’m going crazy.

  It has been three days now since I seen Mike Wolfe in my bedroom. Today I feel like I seriously need to get out of this house. So I decided to go to one of my old friends house from high school.

  Her name is Shaneil. I drove up to her house across town. When I pulled up to her house and got out, I walked to her door, but before I could knock she was comming out of the house.

  “Hey Raven!” She said very excited to see me. “What brings you by today?”

  “I was just comming over to see what you have been up to. It has been quite a while since we’ve talked.”

  “Well I was just leaving to go see the new DARK LOVE movie. Would you like to come with me? We can catch up on the way.”

  “Sure. I love that movie. I didn’t realize that it was already out at the movies.”

  “Today is actually the first showing. I know it’s going to be good. I have been dying to see it.” She said cheerfully.

  I figured that this may be what I need to have my Mike come back to me. And to hopefully come close to figuring out these feelings I’m having, and of course new fantacy’s to take home with me.

  “Well here we are Raven.”

  We got out of her truck and went inside. The line is ridiculously long, but finally we reached the ticket stand.

  “Two tickets to see DARK LOVE part two please.” I said reaching for my wallet to get the money, so I could pay for us both. It was the least I could do for her since she invited me to come with her.

  “Raven, I’ll pay.” Shaneil said to me.

  “No Shaneil my treat. I have also been dying to see this movie anyway!”

  “Fine, but I’ll buy the drinks and snacks.”

  “No argument from me.” I agreed.

  We walked in the room where they were showing the movie and sat in the back. Those are the better seats when you go to a theater. I think so anyways.

  Finally the movie is starting after ten long minutes of waiting through the previews. The movie came on and it started out, showing the most glorious, angel faced man. Mike of course, playing his lovable and deadly character Charles.

  Charles and Kya are still together in this movie and they are still arguing about him not wanting to turn her into an immortal.

  “Why don’t he just turn her already.” I said.

  “I know right.” Shaneil agreed. “It’s not like they are ever going to leave each other. I mean they were made for each other. She has to be with him. It would kill her to be away. She needs him and he needs her.” Shaneil was still rambleing when her last sentence had those same feelings flaring up in me really strongly, like it was some part of my answer or something.

  After she was done talking I payed really close attention to the movie hoping their would be more clues to help me understand these feelings.

  Charles sister Nikki and her man Miguel were in this second movie more than they were in the first one. Nikki was very beautiful with her long gorgeous brown wavy hair moving around her face so gracefully while she walked, with Miguel so tall beside her and his dark bown hair short all over.

  They too also argue with Charles. They think it would be a good idea for him to turn her into an immortal half vampire as they are.

  Then their is Ashley. Charles’s other sister in the movie. She is the really sweet one. Her and her man Jake is also in this movie more than the first one. Ashley has black silky hair down to her shoulders. Jake’s hair is also black and it hangs to his shoulders length, where he keeps it tied back. They to are also very beautiful and very graceful. They argue with their brother about turning Kya immortal just as the others do.

  And their in the three story white house stand the whole maynord family. which is Charles and his family. they are discussing the news that was just delivered to them shortly before Charles and Kya had shown up at the house.

  “Hey guy’s.” Charles said. “What’s going on, what did we miss?” His expression was confused, as he watched his family deep in a serious discussion, with worried looks on their faces.

  Rose was the one who spoke first. She is Charles mother in the movie. “Don’t freak out Charles.” She said. “But the Antient’s are on their way here to see Kya.” She new that this was not the news that her son wanted to here.

  “What! No they can’t!” He said. “They will sentence her to death
for her just knowing about us and the fact that she is human.”

  “Actually, they said that one of their skilled one’s has seen her in a vision. He seen that she has a great gift.” Charles dad Robert told him.

  “What do you mean a great gift?” Kya asked confused.

  “They said that they have seen your future. And they say that you will be very powerful. They are very curious to see the human girl who will one day be as powerful as they are. But they also said that you will only be that way after you are turned into an immortal half vampire as us.” Robert answered Kya’s question but looking at his son with a strained expression knowing they he might loose it after that last part.

  “What do you mean once she is turned? We have already discussed this a million times. No one is going to turn her! I mean that.” Charles said glaring at each and everyone of his family members.

  “Charles were just telling you what they told us. They say that somone here in our family will turn her, and that is when she will become more powerful than anyone or anything that they have ever seen. That is all we know. All that they told us.” Miguel said trying to make peace with his brother before he exploded with his fury.

  Toward the end of the movie, Kya had still not gotten her immortality that she wants and craves for so badly, so that she can spend eternity with the one she loves more than any one person could love someone.

  And also she hadn’t figured out what gifts she was going to have in her future. That right their let’s you know that their will be a third movie of DARK LOVE. Kya and Charles have grown closer together and are now definatly more inseperable then they ever have been. Charles will not let Kya out of his sight.

  I still have the same feelings, and I am still strongly drawn to Mike Wolfe and the one’s who play his family in the movie.

  The feelings did get a little stronger in one part of the movie, when they were discussing what Kya’s gifts may be. The one’s she would recieve once she was turned. But Charles is still fighting on that one he say’s that unless it is a must she will stay human. But these feelings are driving me crazy, because they keep getting stronger and stronger, like they have a hold on me and will not let go until I’m where I am supposed to be and with who I am supposed to be with.
