Dory - Bernard J. (best books under 200 pages txt) 📗

I could do that. Master can do it but this is my first time. How are your head? Is it everything alright?" Dory looked at Jessica shaking her head and yawned so her ears can regain her ability to hear. Jessica surprised to see her aunty had ability even she did not know about. However, they shared more than just memories. She felt every emotion Dory expressed that day toward Marcus and Gabrielle and Master.

"I am fine. I think yours is more than just memories. I could feel the intensity of your friendship with Gabrielle and the curiosity you hide from Marcus. Tell me what happened next." Jessica got interested to the story and how Dory can feel in a single moment all that appreciation toward a stranger.

"If you believe Marcus and Master used anything on us. You are mistaken OK. They were sincere with us from the beginning. That night when they changed us." Dory smiled and grabbed Jessica hand once more to see if she could relive the moment she transformed into something different from what the world considered normal.

Marcus and Master arrived at the front house of the girls to notice the door of one of them remained open. Master face altered suddenly smelling the one substance that could attract his attention. Marcus felt the aura and he shimmered a little, because he was the first time he felt such power in a blood thirst. He could read the years of experience Master had accumulated during his first millennium. He was not an ancient for nothing. He had also the weight.

"The girls…" Master just told him and they ended up in the house. At their sight, the girls were laid down in oblique at the floor in opposite direction from each other, fighting not to die even though he was inevitable. Blood everywhere, broken glasses, and aftermath of the fight with the thief, the guys could avoid it, their eyes changed red at their turn. Master's red turned black at some point confirming Marcus suspicion. Master represented the evolution of their race. No immortals had such eyes as far as he is been alive and his research had never mentioned such phenomena.

"We do not want to die. Please." Marcus swallowed his saliva hard thinking of the fantastic light he would kill if he saved Dory. He was so looking forward to fall in love with her. Becoming immortal did not guarantee she would stay the same, but she might be alive to keep them company. Turning them was unpredictable and the result might not be in their favor. Why would they turn them? Dory and Gabrielle belonged to the human specie and like any normal human one day you had to die. Well, those two reached their time without default. What make them different? Marcus and Master could not answer that question, but one matter stood out. The girls were not dead yet.

"We can save you but your life will not be the same after that. It is your choice. The only condition is to come stay with us in the castle. What do you say?" Master laid it out for them and they were desperate. Time was running out, so both agreed to Master condition.

"So, Master and Marcus mad you two immortals. Without any skills or any ideas if you will stay with them in the castle. You become immortals simply because you did not want to die." Jessica could not understand a reason so light counted worthy to gift someone with immortality.

"The reason can be different on each case. For example, you were already dead. Your mother wanted you to live and to know the world. The reason I protested rested in the fact I lost my way many times before you see me now. I have been a killer, a thief, a monster, and a blood thirsty immortal. The last one is the worst to come back from. My life got meaning again when Marcus saved you." Dory confessed her unforgivable sins to Jessica. She sat on the floor like when she was little and Dory came to pick her up as she fell asleep. Jessica could not believe there was more to being immortal than simply living forever.

"I wanna see mother." Jessica held Dory with both hands and demanded to see her own mother. She became anxious and impatient. Her blood rushed so fast to see her that her eyes turned red. Dory concluded the effect of the truth to Jessica. She unleashed the emotion she had held for a hundred years and now all these information in one day pushed her to her limit. Dory sighed again and fast forward to the moment her sister was in labor ready to give birth to Jessica.

For some days now, Dory closed herself in the office in the third floor. She needed better way to take care of her sister. She was in middle of a break through when she heard her voice screaming in pain. Marcus appeared at the door and she knew something was wrong. They rushed to the house and Danny was ready to deliver her baby.

"Dory, thank God. Your sister only asks for you. I suggested her we went to a hospital. She insisted you came to help her." Danny husband calmly informed Dory and let her in there.

"Do not worry Georges. She is going to be fine. Marcus stay with him. I will take care of my sister. Everything is fine. I am here." Dory had been in love with Marcus and him with her for at least 300 years, but the way Georges loved her sister She had never seen it during all these times. She saw it and Georges confessed it to her. Georges had been living for his wife. This was another reason Dory became convinced the world possessed lots of worthy things than blood sucking murderers.

Georges and Marcus remained outside and Dory with her sister was inside doing God knows what. Dory tied her hand to the bed, opened her legs and demanded the push necessary for the baby to slide out of her. After five minutes of push, scream, swear, and encouragement, Danny have birth to a beautiful girl. Dory took her in her arm tapping on the baby for a scream. Dory got so caught up in helping Danny that she had to shut off her senses.

"Danny, she is not screaming. I do not know what to do. Sister, what is happening? My niece is…wait." Dory just remembered what she was so she turned her senses on. "Sister, my niece is dead. Probably before she came out."

Act IV

 

Jessica stood in the middle of The room in the memories watching her mother's face devastated the moment she heard the word came out of Dory mouth. Like every mother she released her burden, let herself go and laid down facing at the right side.

Danny came into town to meet her family. She heard the story of her grandma and wanted to see where she came from. When she arrived, the old house was for sale, but she had no way of buying it. She did not have any plan but everything changed when she met Dory that night. Dory deduced her parental link through her blood. Telling Dory the old story, she decided to save her last sister. She bought the house for her and found her a job. In the next year, Danny was celebrating Christmas with Dory her sister, Marcus, and some new friends in town. Danny was a simple girl with a big heart, long black hair from the family, blue eyes from her father, and the flat nose accompanied by a sensible round lip. She was taller than Dory and more attractive. She liked everything in her body, especially her legs. She exposed them to make men happy. Dory once again found joy and peace with her new sister and their bond tied every day.

Dory held Jessica in her arms adoring her dead niece and once again she saw the importance of life. How normal human being wanted to life and others to do the same. This feeling remained with her and she convinced herself what she started to do was worth it.

"You have to save her. I know you can. Do not lie to me." Dory opened her mouth to contradicts her and Danny called Marcus.

"I can't. I can't save her. She is already dead sister."

"What is wrong? Georges is outside, anxious and impatient. Should he come in?" Marcus just entered the room and knew what was going on and the reality did not favor for Dory family once again.

"No Marcus. Promise me you can save my daughter. I know what you guys are for some times. I did not say anything, because my sister helped instead of eating me. I am grateful, besides that we become family. Now I want your help again sis. To save my only daughter." Danny showed them her true color and was waiting for answer before Georges rushed into the room.

"I can't sis. I am sorry." Dory left and run to the castle with tears in her eyes. She closed the door of the office and slide down to cry. While crying she heard the rest of the conversation of her sister with Marcus. Marcus agreed to make a miracle happened. Marcus took Jessica in her arms and came back to the castle to access his laboratory. Dory went down before the laboratory door of Marcus, she remained there until he came out after ten days. The moment Marcus stepped outside, she got him by the throat to get any kind of news.

"Tell me how is she? Did you do anything? Did anything work?" Dory was so weak she could not stay up too long but she had survived worst. So this new situation did not compare except if her niece returned with life.

"She is going to be fine. I can't let you see her now. I have to go inside in three days to deduce if she will survive." Dory unable to hold herself fell in the floor with her body in corpse form. "Look at you. Please do not tell me you have been out here for ten days straight without sustenance." Marcus lifted her up and put her to bed. Provided her with sustenance for three days and she had her strength back.

In the morning, the sun shines through her window and she felt the warmth of life entered her pore. She stayed in that day thinking that it would not be great to see her niece in the death state again. She might crack. Her sister came to mind. How could she refuse her this one request? After she bought her the house and she made a home for herself, there were only the two of them. She had never asked her for more than she needed or less than she wanted. Dory had accumulated a rich sum during her years and a family was just what he wanted to share her fortune with. Dory gave Danny everything and so did Danny. She would not be ready to forgive herself if her niece did not survive this or Marcus failed in his process.

"Dory, I have
