"Mama..." was all he said
"Burn her!!!" He heard the familiar voice and turned to see his uncles and aunt glaring at his mother, one of his uncle had a gun in his hand,
"Take her, Mathew and burn that witch!" He heard his aunt order one of his uncle
He saw them move towards them and pulled his mother harshly,
"No!" He said as he got up with face covered with his mother's blood, he held his mother's hand not wanting to let go,
"Let her go, Lucian," he heard his aunt order him,
"Where are you taking my mother to, Aunt Eliza?" He asked with tears in his eyes as he stared in horror at what was happening suddenly,
"That is none of your business, boy. Do as aunty say and go to your room NOW!" The woman named Eliza was frowning,
"No! Let go of my mother," he said
"Lucian....." He heard his mama say in a weak tone, she was loosing too much blood and would die soon if they don't take her to the royal physician soon,
"Please aunt!" Young Lucian pleaded but one of his uncle suddenly pulled him from behind and held him tight, "No!" Lucian yelled as they pulled his mother away from him and took her to the middle of the garden before pouring some liquid all over her and he could see her pleading too,
"Don't do this, Eliza..... Matthew! Lucian is watching! Please stop," his mother pleaded in a weak tone and Eliza grinned,
"Beg for your life all you want, Genevieve but you won't be escaping death today, I promise you," Eliza said with an evil grin on her face, "You are a witch and all witches needs to be burnt alive, you seduced my brother and make him marry you petty creature! Good thing he isn't home now, once you die the spell you cast on him will break and he will come back to his senses and wouldn't even mourn your death,"
"Please don't do this, Eliza. Lucian...."
"He's a vampire, he can handle this, watching his mama die right in front of his eyes, I'm sure he will be very glad when he grows up and know we ended your life before you drive trouble into your own children's lives too,"
Genevieve eyes was filled with tears that were falling uncontrollably on her cheeks, "Please Eliza..." She turned to the man holding the gun, "Oliver, please talk to her, make her stop this, Matthew?" She turned to them all but none of them listened to her, they all glared at her in distaste,
"What are you waiting for, James! Burn her!!" Eliza ordered,
"No! Aunt!!" Lucian shouted out with tears streaming down his cheeks as he watched his uncle pour more liquid all over his mother before Eliza suddenly lit the match and he saw the fire his eyes widen, before she threw it on his mother and what he saw shocked him to the extreme, he saw his mother's body go up in flames,
Her gown ablaze as she cried out, was there no one in the castle to come rescue her! He tried to free himself from his uncle holding him tight but the man held him so tightly, he struggled even more when another one of his uncle shot the gun at his mother again,
He didn't know what happened next but he was suddenly holding his uncle's heart in his hand, Eliza and the rest were all shocked and furious at what Lucian did, he had dug his hand into Matthew's heart and had killed the man, he saw his mother shook her head slowly with tears in her eyes as she stared at him sadly... That was all he saw of his mother and the next moment, he felt something hard hit his head and he fell on the ground unconscious but still breathing....
James had hit him hard on his head and made the boy unconscious because of what he did....
The next time young Lucian woke up, he was in the castle dungeon, the horrible place reeked of blood and rusted iron, he was scared and suddenly the memories kept flooding in,
"Mother?" He called but he was greeted with silence, "Mama, where are you?" He cried, "Father? Selene?... Aunt Eliza?" No answer still
He was in the dungeon all through that day with no blood or food, no one came to see him not even his mother and that's when he realized that his mother was killed by his horrible aunt and uncles, he cried hard banging the door of the cell, then he went back to sit
The next day was the same, young Lucian could feel his fangs itching from lack of blood in his system, he wished his father would get home soon so he could come rescue him,
Lucian heard something squeaking, he turned to the direction and saw a disgusting fat rat sniffing the floor, he glared at it, he was indeed thirsty but he will never drink from that, he thought moving away from the creature,
Later that day, his aunt came to see him,
"You are a shame to this family, how could you kill your uncle?! You will suffer here for it," she said glaring at him, "I'm sure you are just like your mother, maybe it will be better if we just kill you too," she said again but knew how that would go if her brother found out,
