Chapter 250: Newbloods
OWEN

EARLIER
It had been a long few months, hectic and sad. Emma was still unconscious with no news of improvement, the doctor said she might probably never wake up again because of the damage in her body, her condition was very critical and recalling those words every day was hell for me. I longed to see her smile again, for her to open her eyes so that I can see those beautiful green orbs again, for her to say my name with her soft soothing voice like she always does. But I wasn’t so sure I would get to experience that anymore, it made it more heartbreaking.
It got me troubled, and anxious, each day it was getting more difficult to visit her because seeing her in such a condition was unbearable to see. Emma’s mom came... Vanessa finally found the courage to tell her about three weeks ago. There was nothing she could come up with and Vanessa didn’t wanna lie to her sister again so with my dad’s approval she was told about everything in the supernatural world and not to get involved, she was only told because of Emma’s condition.
I could still remember that day, her cries and shock about a secret that has been kept for her entire life. It was hard to accept and it was comprehensible, no one would take such news well especially when your daughter was hurt because of the supernatural world.
Both Emma’s mom, Vivian, and Vanessa were a mess, and it took some time before she got herself but I knew not completely because of Emma’s condition, I could remember the pain she has been going through every day, she barely left Emma’s room just like Vanessa.
But at least they are resting now because it was a really hard feat the first time. I noticed something too... After the secret was shared and Emma’s mom was exposed to the supernatural world I think she and Vanessa are closer now, maybe it’s a good thing she knows, maybe.
"Owen"
I darted my eyes at my dad the moment he said my name. Judging from his looks I could tell he has been calling me for some time now, I was lost in my head again with thoughts, it wouldn’t be the first time these past months. There was no way I could find comfort, it was really hard for me, but I knew no matter what I had to stay strong because of my status in the covenstead and the others who looked up to me.
"Yeah?"
