Cherreads

Chapter 21 - Chapter 21 : Red Liquid

"Who was that? That voice sounds familiar, where have I heard it before?" Thalia asked herself before it became clear to her where she had heard the voice from.

"You piece of shit, I hate your guts, you tried to steal Silas away from me and now, you're with them? You deserve nothing but death!" Lolla yelled going after Marietta, her claws visible and sharp.

Lolla tried to slash Marietta in the neck, but Marietta dogged it and slashed Lolla on both arms and legs.

Lolla yelled out in pain but didn't stop there, she went after her again, aiming for her chest but Marietta dogged it by jumping over her and slashing Lolla's back in the process.

Lolla screamed in pain and fell to the floor. Silas went after Marietta, kicking her on her back and making her fall to the floor.

Harley went after him and a fight broke out. Lexy went after Lolla, and some pack members from the Laufey pack went after Zack, Liam, Miranda, Ann, Lexy, Harley, and Marietta with some pack members that came with them.

Lolla transferred into her wolf form and Lexy did the same. Marietta kept slashing Thalia and whoever came close to her.

Thalia moved back, trying her best to avoid Marietta. She wanted Marietta dead but wasn't in the right condition to do so, so she ran towards the pack house.

Some people saw this but we're too occupied to go after her.

Inside the Lauf ey's pack house

Thalia burst into the pack house with cuts and injuries all over her body. She struggled to go up the stairs, she told the guards to go help the others.

"Fuck!" Thalia yelled out in pain, holding both her sides carefully. She started to feel doozy and weak. She slapped herself across the face, trying to keep herself awake.

"I have to get to Tina," she said and almost got to Tina's room before realizing that she couldn't hear a heartbeat and smelled blood but it wasn't hers.

"Fuck you, Tina, why would you die at this time? I knew that you were never reliable. It's a good thing I already got what I wanted from you." Thalia said with a smirk and started walking to her room.

On getting there, she saw some makes who offered to her but she dismissed them by telling them to go their way that she could handle herself.

Thalia got to her room, going straight towards the drawer beside her bed, opening it from the side to reveal a safe box with lots of locks. She pressed the pin, did the face ID, cleaned her right thumb was standing with blood on the part of her dress that was clean, and did the fingerprint lock before typing in another pin lock and rolling the wheel to open the safe lock.

She moved some documents and books to the other side and dipped her hand into the dipper part of the second shelf of the safe. "Darn it, where is it?"

"What are you looking for?" Silaz asked leaning on the door.

Thalia jumped in freight and cursed under her breath before looking up at him.

"Wha…what are you doing here, aren't you supposed to be outside?"

"I should be asking you the same thing, Mother."

Thalia took a painful breath into her lungs that hurt still not closing the safe. "Silas, what do you want?"

"That's a good question Mother, what do I want? I wanna know who my birth father is?"

"I thought we already talked about this Silas, your birth father is outside fighting to protect your pack; now go back and help him," Thalia said as her hands both held something.

"What do you mean to back out there and help him? He looked nothing like me, we have no similar behavior and I will not accept him being my father!"

"Silas shut up and accept it like that!"

"Never!"

"Seriously Silas, he's been in the shadows watching over you for years and when I finally bring him out of the shadows and into the light, you tell me you will never accept him as your father?"

"I never told him to go hide in the shadows like a little bitch or asked you to hide him like you're scared of people finding out your mistake or whatever it is you did with him years ago, and I certainly know that he isn't my father."

Thalia sighed in stress and brought out a small glass bottle, filled with a red liquid, almost as red as blood.

Silas sniffed the air and knew that whatever that was, it wasn't blood and the smell was strange.

" Mother, what is that?"

Thalia looked at the bottle of red liquid in her hand before looking up at her son. "This…this…this is power," Thalia said, opened the cover, and drank it.

Silas stared at his mother in shock, "What the fuck are you doing mother?"

Immediately Thalia drank the strange liquid, she dropped the bottle on the floor and it broke. She started to move and Silas stared at his mother in horror.

Thalia kept moving from side to side before white form started coming out of her mouth, her eyes moving to the back of her head, sweat coming all over her and her head looking like it was about to fall off her body.

"Mother!" Silas yelled and ran over to her. "Mother, what did you take?" Silas asked, shaking her vigorously.

Thalia suddenly stopped moving and slowly lowered her head, the color of her was no longer there and she was staring at Silas with a smirk.

Silas got scared and pushed her off him. She let out a laugh for a few minutes before screaming out in pain. In between her screams, she ordered Silas to shut the door.

Silas looked at her in horror, this woman wants to kill me. "I thought I was you, son, why do you want to kill me?"

"I'm not going to kill you stupid, just quickly shut the door so it won't attract anyone's attention and cause us problems," Thalia said, trying her best to hold back her scream of pain.

Getting hold of himself a little, "Even if I shut the door, won't they hear you screaming?"

"Just do as I say, Silas, the room is soundproof," Thalia said, clawing the wooden floor of her room.

Silas immediately shut the room door and Thalia let out an ear-piercing scream.

Silas covered his ears and leaned on the door. It took a while for the screaming to die down.

A few minutes later, Silas could hear bones breaking, he immediately looked up and saw his mom in her wolf form, she looked at him for a while, as if trying to recognize who he was, and turned back to her human form.

Thalia's body was healing it's and faster than normal, Silas could see the cuts and bruises on his mom's body healing within a amount of seconds.

"Mom, what have you done?"

Thalia looked up at him, her eyes showing a blond green and her skin became pale.

"Can you excuse me so I can put some clothes on?"

"Huh?"

"Get out Silas, I need to get dressed."

"Oh," Silas said, standing up and holding the door handle.

"Come back in the next 5 minutes, so I can treat your injuries," Thala said, looking at his bleeding ear, arm, and other parts of his body.

Silas didn't say anything and went to stand at the other side of the door.

Six minutes later, "Mom, what was that thing you drank? You scared me."

"Like I told you before, that was power."

"What do you mean by "power?" knowledge is power."

"No Silas, power…is power."

Silas didn't know what to say or do anymore, he just sat still like a statue before remembering that there was a fight going on outside the pack house.

"Mom, we have to go help them."

Thalia went to sit on her bed in silence and Silas couldn't help but notice his mom's attitude was a bit different. He looked at the safe box where his mom had taken out that red weird liquid before looking back at her.

"Tell them to retreat."

"What, wasn't it you who said you wanted Marietta dead and would stop at nothing to kill her, what changed?"

"Oh I will kill her, but not just today. I need to get stronger and faster."

Silas stood up in annoyance, " I want Marietta and Harley dead and if you don't want to help me, I'll do it myself." Silas said, walking towards the door.

"Sit your ass down, boy." Thalia's voice sounds like a hundred people spoke at the same time.

Silas froze in fear before slowly turning to see his mom staring out the window. It then came to him, this wasn't the mother he knew anymore and he feared what she had become.
