The Vampire’s Omega

Chapter 58.

“Mom, you shouldn’t believe everything Xander says about me, your son is not innocent, I keep on wondering if he is really my brother.” Annabelle said with her eyes rolled. “I will wait in the car.” She said carrying her schoolbag and left the dinning room afterwards.

“We are running late mom, I will wait in the car with Annabelle.” Katherine said too, carried her schoolbag and left too.

“Okay Xander, you will have to eat your breakfast in the car. Come on.” Luna told Xander.

“No qualms mom. Let’s move.” He carried his breakfast with him while Luna helped him with his schoolbag and both left the house, locked the door and off to the car.

“You all should be good kids today okay? I was so proud of you three yesterday when there was no fight reported on you, I was like ‘yes, those are my kids'” Luna laughed after her words. She was already driving out of their compound towards the school.

Xander exchanged a knowing look with Annabelle, even as his mouth was filled with food, he laughed along with Annabelle, almost choking himself.

“Mom, Xander and Annabelle didn’t fought yesterday because Matt didn’t came to school, he was still at the hospital, receiving treatment from the last beating he received from Xander and Annabelle.” Katherine explained to Luna, causing them to laughed more and thereby wiping Luna’s smile away.

“What? She is lying right?” She asked Xander and Annabelle.

“You wish she is mom but she gladly isn’t lying.” Annabelle replied.

“You kids are suffering me indirectly, it just that I cannot say that I’m tired of you three because I can never be tired of you. I love you too much to be tired.” Luna told them.

“We love you too mom.” They chorused smilingly.

“But that doesn’t mean we won’t fight if one of the kids say anything rubbish to us about you and dad.” Annabelle said and she quickly add an explanation before Luna becomes sad again, “I don’t call the ‘d’ word for you to be sad mom but only called it because it was necessary for me to call it.” Luna just laughed.

“I know it is hard for them to forget about their father but I know they will forget about him in no time.” Luna thought and focused on getting them to school.

“Mom, we need to tell you something.” Annabelle said impatiently as soon as they finished eating their lunch, they returned from school like an hour ago. She had been waiting for the perfect time to discuss about the stranger with Luna and she wanted to be the one to question Luna, she wanted to hear things by herself.

Xander became at alert when he heard Annabelle’s words, “Hope she is not going to talk about that stranger because I was going to tell her something already.”

Even Katherine, who always pretend like she doesn’t care was alerted, “What is she trying to say?” She wondered.

“What do you want to tell me honey? I’m all ears.” Luna said, staring up from the book she was marking. Her students had written a test that day and she was busy marking them but since her children needed her attention, then she had no reason but to give them her full attention.

“Mom, we saw a stranger yesterday. He looked just like…” Annabelle was saying but Xander cut her short.

“Oh! We didn’t!” He interrupted her. He stood up from his seat, grabbed Annabelle’s hand and began to pull her off to their room.

“No! I want to tell mom by myself! Leave me alone! Mom, a stranger looked like Xander!” She kept on shouting till Xander shut the door on her face.

“I have to go there. Why is Xander preventing her from talking? What she wanted to say seems important and what stranger was she talking about?” Luna wondered aloud and stood up from her seat to go to the kids’ room.

“You shouldn’t worry yourself about anything mom. She is only talking about the movie we saw yesterday, the stranger in the movie had a face like Xander and Annabelle was thinking that it was really Xander. And moreover, how will we see a stranger that looks like Xander? Think mom, it’s impossible right?” Katherine stood up from her seat after her smooth lie, then added, “Don’t worry mom, there is absolutely nothing to worry about, everything is under control and I’m sure that everything will be okay.”

“I’m going to tell that girl to snap out of it, she had done more bad than good.” She said and walked away, heading towards their room.

“This is just why I love Katherine most, she behaves like madam Sandra and I don’t regret naming her (Katherine) after her (madam Sandra). Madam Sandra middle name was Katherine.” Luna left out an heavy sigh and gently sat down, marking her students test.

“What is the meaning of that? I know you wanted to be the one to tell mom, so that she will appreciate you more, that is why you stopped me from talking!” Annabelle fired at Xander.

“That is not why, I am having another plan, so I thought that I should let you know about it before you decide to tell mom about the stranger.” Xander replied her gently sitting down on his bed.

“What plan? I was quite out of patience, I want our father now and I wanted to act fast.” Annabelle sighed, “I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s fine.” Xander tapped a space beside him on his bed and Annabelle sat down beside him.

“Have you think of the emotion you will stir if you bring up that topic in front of mom? Mom will be sad again and we will die of guilt because the blame will be on us and our conscience is a bitch, it will prick us to the last limit. Now, have you ever think of it that what if the man is not our father? What if he is using a mask to mess with our head? What if Matt sent him to get back at us? What if he is really our father and he hurt mom before for mom to keep us away from him? What if he kidnaps us and take us faraway from mom? Do you think that mummy will be okay without us? Do you think it will be good for us to find our father and lose our mother? It’s just like going back to square one.” Xander explained and by the time he was through, Annabelle was already in tears.

“I’m sorry, I wasn’t thinking of anything, I just wanted our dad. I’m so sorry.” She hugged Xander still crying.

“It’s okay, it is really okay.” He patted her back.

“What should we do now?” Annabelle asked when she stopped crying and was wiping her tears.

“You guys should forget about him!”
