Chapter Six

The Heart of the Darkside's Child

The very next morning, Terra had awoken to find herself laying sprawled out along her mother's smoothly leathered couch with a soft blue blanket spread out amongst her thin, tanned body. She was glad that she had finally gotten the chance to get some good rest for once in her life! Besides, she had needed it because of her little 'encounter' with that psycho the evening before.

The young Ishtar had never seen a real life serial killer in her entire life! It was certainly all new to her and, by that very day, she had realized that she had never wanted to stand in ones path ever again! Especially his...

Even though he had never physically hurt her, she still feared him for he had shown her what he was strictly capable of! He could of easily killed her right then and there but chose not to. As to why though, well, she didn't know!...and she obviously didn't care! So long as he stays away from her, she was completely fine.

As Terra went to get up from her mom's nice and comfortable leather couch, an overpowering pain shot through her left leg.

"Awwhh, shit! How could I have forgotten about that?" she yelled out in pure agony, soon falling straight back into place with her hands gripping her injured knee painfully.

"Mind your language Terra! Or I'll be washing your mouth out with soap..." Terra's mother shouted from the kitchen angrily but obviously trying to keep her calm at the same time.

Her mother had raised up tons of questions the other night and she had certainly wanted them to be answered! She knew that her daughter was most likely going to go ahead and try getting out of the house before she got the chance to even speak with her though...

'Oh, she is certainly not going anywhere!...atleast not in that condition! Besides, even though she seemed like everything was fine the other night, it probably wasn't...' her mother thought overprotectively of her daughter.

"My gosh mom, I'm sorry! Didn't mean to freak you out or anything..." Terra announced back sarcastically towards her only known guardian.

Terra didn't understand her mother at all and she felt like she didn't understand her either!... but she still loved her mother dearly and would always be there to comfort her in her times of sadness and grief, just like any good daughter should!

"Don't be like that Terra..." her mother traveled off, allowing her daughter to get the whole idea of what was to come if she continued on with her sarcasm.

"Whatever mom..." Terra mumbled lowly, not wanting her kind and loyal protector to get all worried and upset over absolutely nothing.

"What was that?" she shouted back.

"Nothing." Terra answered quickly, confusion running through her dark violet orbs at an astounding pace. How could she have possibly heard that?

It was only about a couple of minutes later when the young teen's mother had come out with a whole plate filled with completely delicious looking foods! There was some beautifully laid out scrambled eggs and three sizziling hot pieces of bacon with a slice of buttered toast on the side. (a/n: yummy... lol)

"Okay Terra, I suggest that you dig in because you'll need it! Besides, you're looking rather pale..." Katie wondered off whilst eyeing her daughter's evil and coldhearted glare. This only caused the older woman to release a small laugh than smirk down at her easily angered daughter.

"Oh my gosh kid, you are so much like your father I swear! but atleast you behave better..." she trailed off whilst smiling brightly to herself, soon laughing at the thought of her ex-husband's naughty behavior whenever she had told him that he had looked completely out of it or something. Marik had never been pleased with his wife when she had told him things that he didn't like to hear...

He especially hated it when Katie would ramble on and on about the way he had dressed! The past darkside was always wondering as to why anybody cared about that nonsense in the first place.

So, he just shrugged it off and continued spending many hours with the girl that he knew he had loved dearly.

Yet, everything was different now! He was different...

Only over a matter of minutes had he changed into this dark cruel being... one that his lover had never seen.

Once Katie reached the thought of this her once enchanted smile soon turned one hundred percent upside down in less than a few seconds! She was flashing back once again to that tragic day when he had told her of all his evil crimes and of all the killings he's commited.

She had to admit to the fact that she was just plainly lost with everything anymore...

Terra had noticed the sadness in her mother's once love filled eyes and thought it best if she had just leave her mother be for awhile. Terra knew full well what her mother was thinking about and she had known that by talking to her about it, it would only hurt her even more!

The young teen slowly got up and started limping towards her bedroom door just a little ways away, only to be stopped abruptly by her now fully alert mother.

"Don't go any further there Terra! You are coming straight back over here and you're going to answer my questions kid..." her mother said sternly whilst looking down towards the dark beige carpet of their tiny little apartment home.

"Oh come on mom! Do I really have to answer them?..." Terra said quite gloomily while turning herself around to face her mother's face once again.

"No Terra! It's going to be right now!" her mother shouted, this time looking up angrily at her daughter through cold filled eyes.

"Okay, you know what mom? You worry too much! All I ever did was scrape my knee against the cement after I had tripped over a nearby sidewalk and then Chris saw me fall and so he came to help!... does that answer all of your questions mother? Can't you just ever get the fact that I hate you to bits?" Terra shouted back with pure anger and rage dwelled up inside of her.

Terra didn't understand this all of a sudden outburst in which she had sent off towards her always kind mother but she still couldn't help it! She knew that her only parent was just trying to understand what had happened to her child but still, the young teenager was furious!...and for no specific reason! Eventually, she gave into her anger, letting herself go to her full extent...

Or rather, that was what she believed (a/n: I will explain that later if you didn't get it).

She glared darkly at her mother, soon allowing an evil smirk to form across her face towards the woman's shocked expression.

There was much amusement in the kid's dark violet orbs which were narrowed directly towards her mother, sending cold chills up and down the woman's back.

'She is acting just like Marik did before he left! And the eyes of both him and her are just so ...so... so soul less and neverending. This doesn't mean that she's a darkside too, does it?' the older woman thought nervously, backing away from her now assumed to be insane daughter quickly, yet cautiously, all at the same exact time.

Terra had now wanted to see her mother's tears shed themselves longer and she had wanted to see her completely innocent guardian in terrible amounts of pain!... but just then she was somehow able to gain some mental control over herself and stop this soon to be reign of terror.

The young girl was gripping away at her head harshly, afraid that the feeling would wash over her once again!... and she didn't want it back! Never!

'Oh my gosh...' Terra cried out over and over again in her mind. She couldn't shake the feeling off! It was clawing at her mind like mad and shredding apart the tiniest bits of sanity left within her! The feeling would never go away! It just wouldn't.

On a sudden impulse, Terra let go of her head and then burst right out of the front door, blocking out her mother's distant cries, pleading for her to stop, and by ignoring all of the pain that was stinging up and down through both her mind and her injured leg.

She didn't want to be angry with her mother but the amount of hatred within her now was just completely overbearing! It was shredding her mind into millions and millions of shattered pieces, spreading apart every single piece of her mind! Driving her insane!

...but at the same time, she enjoyed it rather immensely! Something, no, a part of her wanted that anger! It was eating away at it and she could feel it inside of her! Something cold and dark that had seemed to have just been buried there away for years on end.

Terra was honestly hoping that this was just another way that her heart was trying to express itself to the world! By actually showing her anger and letting it all come out loose freely! Yet, this was way too freely.

What this young teenager didn't know was that a small dark hole was beginning to take its horrific form inside her once kind beating heart...
