Tears From Hell

Chapter Twenty-Six- Diamond and Turquoise

“It’s not known.”

“Meaning?”

“It’s one of Malaika’s poisons.”

“Malaika?”

“Chick you killed and the one who injured Austin.”

“It’s my fault,” Miranda said looking at Danielle and then Jerry, before looking at Austin. “His going to die, because my anger and rage. I should’ve check on him when I had her, but no, I had to be an idiot and kill her.”

“Isn’t there a way to save him?” Jerry asked. Miranda was just looking at his brother, but when she looked at him there was tears going down his face. “Please don’t let me loss any more family, you can do anything, I just want him to live.”

“There’s only one way,” Miranda told him. She didn’t want to do it, but it was the only way Austin was going to stay ‘alive’. He might think she’s selfish, both Austin and Jerry might hate her, but as long as he was breathing, she didn’t care. “Austin’s next of kin id you, so I’ll need you to agree.”

“What is it?”

“I’ll have to turn him… make him into a vampire.”

“A vampire.”

“Not a turned, they live about fifty years longer than a human.”

“Then what?”

“A pure blood.”

“So you’re going to copy to copy Summer and Hakan?” Danielle asked. When Miranda looked at her with a guilty expression, she wanted to slap her sister across the face. “Miranda… I’m not judging you, I was merely curious.” 

“It’s selfish.”

“No, it’s not,” Jerry told her looking into her blue eyes. “It’s not selfish. If it was, then so be it. Everything you’ve done so far, has been for others. Even when where shot in the arm, I might add, you still tried to keep Hakan and the others sealed, since you didn’t want anyone to suffer, you’re allowed to selfish.”

“I used my gift,” Miranda told them. She put her hand on Austin’s paling arm, too see how much damage the poison had done. “I killed three people with it and I almost did the same with Drew.”

“So?”

“Did you hear what I said?”

“I did.”

“I killed -”

“I’ve killed.” Jerry told her crossing his arms. “Does that make me a bad person? No, it doesn’t, so please stop acting like your some kind of monster.”

“I am a monster.”

“Austin doesn’t think so, no he knows you’re not.”

“I don’t want him to die.”

“Miranda, no one does,” Danielle said.

Jerry sighed and put his arm around her shoulder, he was almost a head taller than her, but he guessed he was going to be the same height as Austin. “How do you turn someone into a pure blood?”

“You have to clear the chakras, then align them,” Miranda told him while taking Austin’s top off, since it was covered in sweat. “However, I’ll need to put the goddess seal on his chest. I’ll need his birthstones… it’ll also need to be done as soon as possible.”

“Stone and candle,” Danielle whispered to herself. She was sure she saw a stone and crystal room as they made their way to this one. “What stone do I need to get? I’ll pop into the stone room for one, I’ll also get two candles.”

“Turquoise and diamond.”

“Sagittarius?”

“That’s his star sign.”

“I’ll get two red candles with a fire pattern on them.”

“Thank Danielle,” Miranda said to her sister. When Danielle left the room, she turned and looked at Jerry, hands on hips. “Jerry take a seat, but when Danielle I’ll need you to leave the room. It might take a while, she’ll also might take a while.”

“Goddess seal?” Jerry asked when he sat on the bed. Looking at the black ink Miranda had put on his brother chest, it look three moons, one full and the other’s less than half… he wasn’t good at naming what stage the moon was in. “I see moon goddess?”

“No.”
