Darkness

"Oh yeah? What's that?" I asked, watching his every move.

"Bring her to me!!" He barked.

Then out of the blue, two harpies came with a large sack, just large enough to fit one body in it. They dropped it at his feet, and then left. He smiled at me, then he opened the bag and dragged out what seemed to be a female person. Then I realized who it was, my eyes widened in shock at who it was. My mom was tied up and gagged at the man's feet, my mouth dropped at how beat up she was.

"MOM!!" I screamed.

"Indeed, your mothers blood shall mark the beginning of our rivalry! This shall be the beginning of our end!!" He screamed.

"You bastard!" I screamed.

I drew my blade and tried to charge but he drew his sword and placed it on her neck,

"Let's not be hasty now shall we?" He said.

"Don't worry mom… I'll get you free, just give me a moment." I said.

My mom's face was swollen, but I could see her tears. I could tell she was scared, she feared for her life.

"Oh will you? Let me make that harder for you!" He said, lifting his blade in the air.

"NOOO!!" I screamed, my mind racing.

I was too far away to do anything, I just watched as he thrusted his sword into my mothers midsection, dicing up her organs. He dropped her body like a sack of bricks, and then he vanished with a cruel laugh.

"Remember my name, Son of Darkness, I am HellMan Davis! The leader of the Order Of Disorder! Remember that!" He called as he vanished.

I ignored him for the moment and raced over to my mom, she was losing blood and fast. I ripped open my bag and pulled out my shirt, I ripped it and wrapped it around her wound. I removed her gag and tried to talk to her,

"Dont worry ma, i've got healing ointment in my bag.." I said, reaching into my bag.

"Dont… Im a human… that greek oil wont work…" She said, her voice weak.

"I've got to do something!" I snapped.

"My poor… son… I'm sorry… that i… left you…" She said, her breath getting ragged.

"Stop talking.. Well, get your help." I said, my voice dipping.

"It's too late… I've lost too much blood… I'm dead…" She said,

"Don't say that.." I replied.

She placed her hands on my face, they were cold and weak,

"I'm sorry… your father is the one who will take care.. Of you now… I just want to say… that you've given me…. The best moments of my…. Life…" She said, her voice barely a whisper.

I was crying at this point, my mind was flashing back to all the memories i had with my mom, all the days i needed her and how much i loved her. I felt the tears drop down my cheeks, I pressed her hands harder against my face.

"I'm sorry mom.. I wasn't strong enough.." I said, my mind going black with pain.

I couldn't hear anymore, but I could feel it. I felt waves of anger and emotion fall from me like bolts of lightning, I could feel my mothers life slipping away, the less life she had the blacker my heart began to grow. I looked at her face, but my vision was getting blurry so all I could see was her mouth. She said three simple words and they broke me.

She mouthed, "I love you.."

Moments later her hands dropped from my face and I knew, I knew she was dead. I stood up, my mind totally blank. I walked away from my mothers corpse and collapsed to my knees, tears now flowing in streams from my eyes. I lifted my hands into the sky and screamed out all of my emotions, all of my pain and rage left my body. Before I slipped into unconsciousness I saw something falling out of the sky, it was a black rose. It looked beautiful, it was falling towards my mothers corpse. Then it hit me who sent the rose, my father did, he was watching this whole situation. But yet he couldn't help, he couldn't save his beloved wife. After those thoughts entered my brain I fell instantly into slumber, my body hitting the cold earth with a thud.
