Purgatory- Chapter Seven- Silent Eternity

 

~~Last Time~~

 

I didn't want to talk to Maria, but I had to. I needed to tell her that: 1) Her brother is dead, 2) She was going to be an aunt, and 3) She needs to tell her friend something. She was not going to be happy about this at all.

 

“Leandro was killed the other week.” That seemed to have caught her attention.

 

“I know that wasn't the only reason you called me here.” I had to tell her the rest.

 

“You need to tell Blaise he's not human.” She gave me a look that said “I'm not buying it.” I was going to have to tell her at some point.

 

“I'm pregnant.” That really caught her attention; she looked as if I was going to have that butter knife she used on Rai, through my head. After a moment she seemed to have calmed down. She seemed a little upset.

 

She moved up closer to me. She was really getting a little too close. “I still want you back. Don't think that any of my feelings have changed for you. I still love you.”

 

~~End Recap~~

 

 

I wanted to get out of there. I knew I still had some kind of feelings for her, but in the end something told me to get over it. I didn't know how to respond. She leaned towards me and brushed her lips against mine. She lingered for a short moment. When I looked back at her I saw tears in her eyes.

 

Call me mommy, but I could never stand to see a woman cry. She then grabbed me forward and hugged me. I could hear her crying into my blouse. I held her there and let her cry. I couldn't do much else. I finally managed to say something.

 

“I'm sorry, but I can't.” I later regretted saying that, because she only held me tighter and cried more.

 

After a few moments and many sobs later, she looked up at my face. She lifted her hand and began tracing my face. When she reached my cheek, she slapped me; may I say she slapped me quite hard. I knew I deserved it. I put the girl through absolute hell, only for the relationship to end, her brother to die, and for me to start a new one with a witch right after. God, I felt like such a whore.

 

She sat back down on the couch and I went to the kitchen and began cooking something for dinner.

 

“Where's the bathroom?” She seemed so depressed now.

 

“First door to the right.” I pointed to a miniature hallway next to the kitchen.

 

While Maria was cleaning herself up, I went upstairs and got Fatin and Rai so they could eat dinner. There was an uncomfortable silence in the room. I knew that Rai said something to Fatin, and he was going to pay for it later.

 

From what I could see, Rai was loosing his patience. “Will somebody fucking say something already?!”

 

I munched on some rice before I made my comment, “you just did.”

 

I got up and got four pills from the medicinal bottle that dad gave me. I handed two to Fatin. She accepted both and drank them. She was going to feel woozy. It was one of the effects of the pills. I sent her to go to sleep and said that I would go up there in a little while. Rai went upstairs and headed off to bed as well.

 

That left me and Maria downstairs by ourselves. “Can you help me get into most of his classes?”

 

I was trying to make conversation. I wanted to avoid our previous topic. She gave me a pair of sad eyes in response. I sat on the couch and tried to avoid her gaze.

 

She came over and began kissing me. This time I responded: I kissed her back. I had my eyes closed but I felt her hands go around my neck and she sat on my lap. She started to leave open-mouthed kisses on my neck. I felt her arms shift again, this time to the buttons of my blouse.

 

I knew I was going to regret what I was doing at some point in the future, but I was too busy enjoying what I was getting. I guess she was done unbuttoning my blouse because I felt her hands wander to the underside of my breasts. My bra's clasp was in the front and I guessed she figured it out because the next thing I felt was the cold air of the room on my breasts.

 

She began playing with my breasts as she continued with the kisses on my neck. I felt her move again and I felt her tongue on my right nipple while her other hand felt up its twin. After another few moments she moved on to my left one.

 

I began letting my hands roam her body. I quickly removed her shirt before using my claws to shred her bra. I pushed her off and got on top of her. At this point we were lying down on the couch. I repeated the torment she inflicted on me.

 

I felt her hands at the button of my jeans. While I continued my ministrations I felt her hand rubbing my clit and I tried to keep quiet. She managed to pull us up and get on top. I tried to protest, but her hand on my clit got the better of me.

“Ma-Maria, ah, I can't…” I could barely get any words out. I somehow managed to gain some fiber of control again and pushed her off. I could hear myself breathing hard.

 

“I-I'm sorry. I can't.” Usually the people I tell that to end up crying, but I wanted to cry because I realized that I was acting like a whore, again.

 

`Who am I trying to kid: I am a whore.' I grabbed my shirt and bra and put them on. She did the same, but without a word she left.

 

I went to the upstairs bathroom and began to cry. I didn't know why I felt so confused. I couldn't close my eyes. Every time I closed them, I saw images of what me and Maria were doing and what Fatin and I had done.

 

I looked at myself in the mirror. I saw myself looking like I pitiful street whore.

 

I saw my claws and thought, `How easy would it be just to slit my veins or rip myself apart with them?' I stopped myself before I did any more stupid things.

 

I went back into my room and saw Fatin sleeping. The guilt really hit me hard. She looked so beautiful there and yet I was betraying her just a few moments before. I sat by the desk in my room and retrieved my rosary and bible. I sat there and prayed:

 

“Padre nuestro, que estás en el cielo,

santificado sea tu nombre;

venga a nosotros, tu reino

hágase tu voluntad

en la tierra como en el cielo

Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día

Perdona nuestras ofensas

Como también nosotros perdonamos

A los que nos ofenden

No déjenos caer en tentación

Y líbranos del mal

Amen”

 

I went through the holy mysteries and then lay down next to Fatin. She was dead asleep.

 

I wanted to do anything to bring back time and stop all of this. I wanted to stop: Leandro's death, Fatin's rape, the Maria incident, and everything. I felt as if the world around me was just falling apart.

 

I unconsciously put my hand over my stomach. My hand lingered there for a brief moment before I held Fatin as she slept. I stared at her face for a moment before crying myself to sleep.

 

~~The Next Morning~~

 

I woke up around seven o'clock the next morning and ran to the bathroom. I began to throw up whatever organs I had in my body—or so it felt like that.

 

My brother came rushing to the door to see if I was okay. He ran downstairs and got the medicine then ran back upstairs with the medicine and water at hand. I gladly accepted it. He helped me get into the other bedroom and cover me up with the blankets. He checked my temperature; it seemed a bit high.

 

Fatin came into the room a few moments later looking worried. “Are you okay?” I told her that I was fine.

 

Apparently Rai had called Mateo up. “I'm going to go see Mateo so I can get something for you to feel better, okay?” I nodded but before he left I stopped him.

 

“Take Fatin with you, that way if the house is attacked you both are safe.” He nodded and left. I could hear him going to the room next to the one I was in, telling Fatin to get ready. A few moments later they left.

 

I knew that I wasn't supposed to get out of bed in such a state but I needed to move. I went outside to my backyard and entered the small forest. I sat there and watched the day go by. I fell asleep at the base of the tree holding my stomach with tears staining my cheeks.

 

~~Lucas's P.O.V. ~~

 

I decided to try to visit Calyx today to bitch at her over what she did yesterday. I waited at her door for five minutes before trying to get inside through the back. That was when I caught her scent nearby.

 

I followed her scent into the depths of her backyard. That's when I saw her. She looked so sad. I wanted to laugh just to rub it in her face. That's when I saw it. It seemed as if she were crying in her sleep.

 

I loved to draw, so I grabbed the sketchbook from my backpack and one of my pencils. I drew the outline of her body and the forest. I later added detail and shadow.

 

I couldn't stand to see her so sad anymore. I went to go wake her up when I felt that she was hotter than a flame. I grabbed the keys from her pocket and unlocked her door.

 

I came back and brought her inside. I rummaged through her cabinets and found an ice pack. I went to her fridge and filled the bag up to the maximum with ice.

 

I went back to the couch where I had left her and placed the ice pack on her forehead. She was out like a light because she usually has a gun to my head before I even realize that she's nearby. I sat on the floor to wait for someone to get home to take care of her.

 

~~Mateo's House, Rai's P.O.V. ~~

 

I knew exactly was wrong with Calyx, but I needed to speak with her alone. I needed to get Mateo's approval before I could tell her to do anything.

 

I remembered the night before. I know exactly what happened between Maria and Calyx. I'm a Lucifer and I have very good hearing. Fatin seemed so depressed because she was upset that she left Calyx and Maria by themselves for a long time. If she only knew…

 

When we got into the driveway I noticed another car. Fatin noticed it too, but she seemed unnerved by it. “That's Lucas' car.”

 

Now I understood: Lucas was the guy that raped her. I went inside to see Calyx 1) not where I left her and 2) Him dangerously close to getting his ass kicked by me.

 

“What the hell are you doing to my sister?” I was already up in his face with him up against the wall.

 

“I wasn't doing anything to her! I was outside and I saw her unconscious in your backyard.” I put him down for the moment.

 

I was more worried about my sister than some rapist jackass. I went over to her and saw that her fever was to an extreme point, even with the ice pack on her head.

 

“Get out.” I was being simple and to the point. I needed to wake her up and tell her as fast as I could. I saw Fatin on the other side of the room.

 

“Fatin, come here.” I never saw that girl act so meek. It was probably because Lucas was here.

 

She walked over. “I know you don't like the jackass, but if he tries anything just scream and his ass will be part of the earth's mantel.” She nodded and they both went upstairs.

 

“Calyx, I need you to wake up. This will only be a few seconds, Sis. I promise.” She wiggled around for a bit, before covering her eyes and answering.

 

“What do you want?” I helped her sit up.

 

She looked so drained and devoid of all energy. “You need to get rid of it.” Her eyes shot open and she smacked me.

 

“Don't you even dare consider that as a thought process in your head. Why the hell would you even think that?” I sighed.

 

I didn't know how to put this all into words.

“It's killing you. You know well enough that most witches and demons die while pregnant with a Lucifer. What makes you think that you would survive a second generation?” She began to snicker.

 

“What makes you think that I would care if I died?”

 

She got me there. I knew that she was depressed but I had no idea that she was suicidal.

 

“I'll make it through the pregnancy, I know that much, but I don't know a thing as for the labor itself.” She was getting me worried. She wanted to die. She didn't care.

 

“Just give me double the dose of the medication and I'll be fine. By the way, did you bring me inside?” She was trying to avoid the main topic. That was fine by me because I didn't want to stay on such a depressing matter.

 

“Believe it or not, Lucas was the one who brought you in.” She raised her eyebrows at that.

 

“Is he still here?” I knew it. I was going to die. She's going to kill me once she finds out I left them alone upstairs.

 

“Eh, he's upstairs.” She was eyeing me suspiciously now.

 

“Where is Fatin?” I gulped silently.

 

“Umm, upstairs?” A second later my ass was outside.

 

~~Inside, Calyx's P.O.V.~~

 

My brother was an idiot. After that comment I was feeling very rejuvenated. I ran upstairs. I went into my room and saw Lucas in one corner and Fatin on the far other side of the room.

 

“Did Lucas do anything?” She shook her head.

 

“Both of you, downstairs, now.”

 

“First of all, Lucas, why the hells are you anywhere near my house?” I didn't even realize I had a knife to his throat till after Fatin pointed it out. I put the knife down and awaited his answer.

 

“Umm, can I get my keys back?” I rolled my eyes. I knew he was lying. He came to annoy me about me ruining his date.

 

I let my eyes wander for a moment and saw his book bag. “What's in the sack?” I sounded like a police interrogator. He passed his bag to me. He was a smart boy. Better I check it than him try to hide anything.

 

A saw some pencils and a sketch pad. “You draw?” He didn't answer.

 

I really wasn't expecting one anyways. I leafed through the pages. He seemed like a pretty good artist. He was good with detail. The last page I saw looked an awful lot like y backyard. The woman in the picture looked just like me—in fact it was me. It was me to a tee.

 

“Were you watching me?” I smelled quite a bit of fear.

 

“I don't really care.” I put all of his stuff back in the bag and gave it back to him. “Now why don't you both tell me about that infamous night that landed both of you in this house?”

 

~~Psychiatric Center, Maria's P.O.V. ~~

 

I lay in my bed thinking about that night. I wanted Luna so bad. Didn't she understand that I still loved her? `Was she playing around with me again? She couldn't have. I watched her cry as I put on my blouse.'

 

I knew she was going through a lot. I didn't speak to anyone except Luna and Kala. Kala loves Luna as much as I do, but Kala sees her as a second mother. I couldn't keep my thoughts straight.

 

I noticed someone slip a letter under my door. I opened it and read it. It was another assignment.

 

`Shit.'

 

It was an assignment to investigate Blaise. She wasn't lying when she said he was under investigation. Chris was probably waiting for me outside. I needed her to assign all of Luna's classes to his. I also needed to be registered into the school.

 

`I'm guessing that Luna wants that little girl in the school too.'
