Chapter 65
Flashback
"Please teach me how to sing Momma!That way I can be a Princess like you." ten year old me said with excitement. I couldn't wait to be just like my momma.She was everything I wished to be,my role model.
She laughed loudly with eyes sparkling with amazing joy,pure joy-the rarest kind "okay my baby I will teach you how to sing perfectly right after we go out there and cut your cake. Look everyone is waiting for you my little Queen." she said kissing my cheeks.
I blushed,why was momma so excited about my birthday when I couldn't even sing. I wanted to sing just like her ,"But how can I be a Queen momma?I can't sing and I want to sing." I frowned.
"My baby even some Queens have other gifts besides singing. You my love have both and I do not even have to really teach you. You will always be my little Queen no matter what."she said hugging me tightly .
I smiled excitedly,I was her little Queen and that was enough for me. I grabbed her hand and pulled her with me outside at our backyard where my father was giving out balloons to all my little friends.
"Hey birthday monkey,we have been waiting for you beautiful!"he shouted throwing a large yellow balloon in my face,I caught it and squealed with excitement.
"Daddy!" I squealed when he walked towards me and carried me in his large arms.
"Happy birthday to you!Happy birthday to you!Happy birthday to you Lucy!Happy-Happy birthday to you!" he sang and everyone else followed.
This was it,my perfect day even with the virus out there. I could still celebrate my birthday with my whole family and friends. "I love you little Lu." he said kissing my right cheek then my left cheek and my forehead. That was his favorite pattern.
I laughed and he put me down slowly . Everything was perfect and that is what I wanted. My momma knelt down next to me and she said "shall we sing my little Queen?"
My eyes immediately widened,"Yes!"
"Okay,let's ..."her beautiful voice was cut off by the most terrifying animalistic sounds I have ever heard. I could never forget them. My momma always told me that they were sounds made by the infected. Infected meaning sick people,momma said they are not just sick people-they are 'very very sick'.
"Run!"my father shouted at everyone. My mother immediately carried me in her warm arms and she ran with me,she didn't even look back at the other children that were screaming in fear. My momma immediately closed my eyes as she ran trying to save our lives. My father was still out there trying to save my friends,my little friends.
My momma knelt down and she hid me under the table with a large table cloth "sing my little Queen."she said tears streaming down her face.
They thought I was just a child,I was but I knew this was it. "Momma please don't go!" I cried grabbing her hand but she quickly snatched it away
"Sing and don't you dare look out here. If you sing I will be here,"she said placing her hand on my chest were my heart was protected.
I nodded my head in tears "promise you will come back momma."
She smiled sadly," I will always be with you."she said rubbing my chest once more before running off.
I sat hiding under the table but the growls got louder and louder. Crunches and growls ,the sounds of bones being grinded on was the worst. 'sing' I remembered my momma's voice.
I started humming ,I knew better than to actually sing. 'when the stars won't shine I sing louder so the beasts don't see,in darkness I pray for brighter seasons. A queen I am in darkness we see. We see and see and see. Ghosts are burried deep in thee,make wiser lighter choices Queen...'
PRESENT DAY
"Do you always hum and cry in your sleep?" he asked from a distance,I almost groaned. Sometimes I wish I would just sleep forever.
I sat up straight and looked for his figure. He was seated on a stool painting or whatever. I squinted my eyes trying to figure out what the hell the beast was doing with paint brushes,pencils and all .
" I was having a nightmare," I said still trying to look at what he was up to. He looked so elegant seated on that stool shirtless but then again even the devil was beautiful.
I could feel his devilish smile even from this distance,"You were dreaming about me?"
I almost laughed out loud, "Don't flatter yourself. It wasn't you in particular but yes I was dreaming about beasts."
"Beasts,that is what you call us?"he asked with his hands still working on his art.
Was he really trying to piss me off. I breathed in deeply and sat up straight on his bed. "Is that not what you are?"
"Do you always answer a question with another?"
I rolled my eyes ,"Yes I personally call you exactly what you are."
"I see but then again I am not just a beast unfortunately for you. That song you were humming,it was lovely. You like to sing?"he asked
"It is non of your business." I said out loud,shit! Was I trying to get myself killed-stupid mouth. Take it back, "I mean I am not really good at it."
A knock on the door saved me from doing any further spilling of unnecessary information. "Excuse me."he said standing up.
A young man walked in,"Morning my king."
"What is it?" the Alpha king asked packing his brushes back,when he moved I finally took a glimpse of what he was painting,it looked pretty unfortunately he quickly covered the painting .
"Uh the human is in pain."the man said
The king raised an eyebrow,"The pregnant woman. She is still alive,"
"Yes she is in labour I think."
I quickly stood up. "You have to do something!She needs a doctor." I said in panic.
"Yes we must do something,get rid of her."he said simply wiping his hands with a wet towel.
