The Fight

As I stand here looking at my mother with this giant red dragon hovering over us and watching what we do I amsick at the sight of her. I have never told anyone why I don't talk to her and why I have no interest in mending our bond. She has done the unforgiveable and only my father has witnessed her true horror. Nothing she can say or do will ever fix what she had done to me and I really don't want to hear anything she might have to say to me. She hasn't moved and she hasn't said a word. I am not sure what her plan is here but I am not moving away from the dragon that is with us. As I get closer to the dragon my mother finally moves and turns her head to look at me, as she does tears stream down her face and the image of a little boy starts to appear next to her. He looks really familiar to me but I can't place from where until the image starts to get more solid and that is when I absolutely lose it and start crying. In front of me standing next to my mother is the son that she took from me, I never thought I would see him again and I haven't seen him in over 200 years. Why is he here and why is he with her? Confusion starts to fill my head and sadness fills my heart, there is a lot I don't understand but this is starting to hurt like when he was first taken. She bends down and whispers something in his ear and he takes off running to me, a smile on his face and a full embrace when he reaches me. My son is here and hugging me and all I can do is hold him tight and cry.


He was a young boy in the village by where our castle was, his mother and father died of plague and he was ill as well. My father and I talked about it and I decided to turn him and keep him as my own. Since he was a turned vampire and not a born one he still aged just at half the speed so in 20 years he looked 10 and so on. But, he never got to make it to that age even, my mother who thought she was doing me a favor in trying to make me be like her and live with her killed him. In front of me with no remorse or care killed my son in front of me and then still tried to get me to leave with her. Holding my son made all the pain she caused go away until I realized that I couldn't have him once I woke up. Anger started to fill my heart again and I could feel myself shaking until that sweet voice was heard in my ear," mommy you have to forgive her, or you will never make it home to me" and with that I stopped and remembered my family and my baby egg waiting for me back home. I miss my son I do but, I have a family at home waiting for me and what my mother did wasn't anything wrong with me. I let my son back down and hold his hand as I walk over to my mother. I bend down and give him a kiss on his cheek and tell him I love him always and then I give his hand to my mother and he takes it no problem and with a smile. As I gather myself for this she reaches out and hugs me, "I am so sorry my child, I know you can never forgive me and there is no excuse for what I have done to you but I will promise this, no more pain will befall you because of me" and again I am crying. That wasn't a hateful power hungry woman I had always known, that was an actual sympathetic motherly love I felt from her and my son is perfectly happy with her.


Not knowing what to do here, I look to the first dragon who is still sitting and watching all of this unfold. I know that I will always miss my son but I do forgive my mother. People wanting power and money always make stupid choices that they have to deal with in their life so I do get why she did it. As these thoughts are going through my head I see my son wave bye and him and my mother disappear from the plane we are currently on. I stand there for a bit before looking the dragon in the eyes, they begin to glow red and bright and within seconds there is a flash of light again and I am back in my dragon in the castle. Only problem, its just like before, there is nobody here and my baby is gone again. I don't think that I actually made it home. But I do the same thing that I did before I turn back from my dragon form and I walk out of the room and into the dark hall. I walk through the house but this time I don't end up outside or in a field. Instead I end up in my bedroom, I figure a nice bath will be good since I am alone and apparently not back in my body I might as well try to relax. I head into the bathroom and turn on the light, as i do Marcus sits up in bed and his eyes are glowing and his teeth are showing. I immediately run to him and jump on him in the bed. He turns the side light on and realizes it's me and kisses me hard and holds me tight. I am afraid this is a dream again so I don't want to let go and I don't want him to let me go either. As we are sitting in the bed and are holding each other I start crying thinking about everything I just went through and Marcus also lets a tear fall as he realizes that I had a son before, a long time ago and I never talked about him. Now he knows and he knows that our baby is a boy and is my son being able to come back to me. So much has happened and I really am just happy to be back with my family and have it not be a dream this time. That is when marcus pulls away from me, "wasn't a dream love, the first dragon took your soul to go meet with your mothers and until a wrong was righted you weren't going to come back to me" a shocked look on my face im sure as it clicks. If I had not been able to forgive my mother and had got angry and tried to hurt her than I would still be stuck there and my dragon would be loose without a soul. That is not good for anyone. Wait, where is my son.......
