Eva wasn't exactly happy to see me, but I think she's wanting to push everyone away while she sorts through her feelings. I understand that instinct because I do the same thing. Guess genetics are kind of funny that way. We talked last night and I think she was able to say some things she'd been keeping in, but I know there is a lot more buried deep. We ended up drinking a lot and watched a horror flick that she fell asleep during.
She wasn't kidding about those nightmares. I must have fallen asleep on the couch too because I woke up to her screaming about sharks and kicking at me. I'm not real coherent when I first wake up so when she was screaming about sharks, my instinct was to pull my legs up too. Turns out it was just a dream and sharks really weren't in the living room, but it took a lot to convince her of that.
I decided to wait until sundown and then I took off for a walk. Figured maybe Cristoff and Eva would like some space. I need to meet with Ev and Yuffie to discuss heading to Eva's dimension to kill her father, but
The door slams behind me and when the lights come on, I can see it's my living room from the apartment that Mom and I lived in. Fuck. Jimmy is home. I try to make it up the stairs quietly, but he looks up from the couch.
"Where the fuck do you think you're going, boy?" He asks, already off the couch and heading towards me. He's been drinking which means Mom has probably been drinking too. Perfect. I should have found some place else to stay. "Your room is a fucking mess. How many times does your mama have to tell you to pick up after yourself before you get a clue?"
I can't answer because he's backhanded me so hard that I fall against the stairs. I narrow my eyes, clench my fists and throw a wild punch back at him. "STOP HITTING ME. YOU AREN'T MY FATHER!"
"Evan Barrett!" Mom is screaming at me as she pulls me away from Jimmy just in time for him to hit her instead of me.
"Mom! I'm sorry. You son of a bitch, you hit my mom!" I lunge for him again, but he's already walking towards the door.
"I'm sick of this shit, Amanda. The terror is right. I ain't his daddy and I'm sick of trying to teach him respect." He slams the door and Mom looks at me with pure hatred.
"I never should have had you, Evan. My life would be so much easier if I'd just had the abortion that my mother begged me to have. You've ruined everything good in my life!"
I step back. Her words always hurt more than any of her boyfriend's fists. "I'm sorry."
"You wonder why I was gone through your entire life, Evan?" Julian's voice is taunting as he appears where my mother was standing. "Look at you. Your own mother wishes she'd never had you. Why would I want a fuck up like you for a son? At least Evalon's mother wasn't a common whore."
"My mother isn't a whore!" I growl out, but he just laughs.
"Would you prefer I call her a slut? What self respecting woman sleeps with a married man? Seduces a married man who has a young child and purposely gets pregnant so I will leave my family..." He shakes his head. "To think she thought you would be reason for anyone to want to be with her."
"I don't need you." I whisper, but he's just smirking at me. "I have a new family."
"You think that new family will accept you now? You're a vampire with mortal family members that you still care about. Even as a demon you are the weakest link, Evan. Always the weakest link."
"He has a point." Lindsey says in a tone that makes me want to curl up into a corner and hide. "I didn't sire you for you to be clinging to some sort of mortality. Eva isn't your sister, Boy. She's a mortal and that means she's food."
"No." I whisper.
"No?" He asks, and he looks like he's ready to slam me into the nearest wall. He sighs, shrugs his shoulders and then he's standing over me with a stake. "Fair enough. I'm not your father. I don't allow the weakest link to survive." The stake is just about to pierce my heart when I leap through a window to get away.
I'll have to check out that house later. Ev and Yuffie are expecting me at Ralph's. It's kind of weird that a house like that would still be for sale. I wonder if something is wrong with it?
