Chapter 299: Chapter 299 Burn It

Alexander’s POV

“Because she isn’t fucking dangerous!” my uncle screamed.

“We don’t know that,” Anna responded calmly. “I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

“Are you fucking shitting me right now, Anna?!” my uncle screamed again as he pointed at my mom. “She can barely lift her head! She isn’t fucking dangerous!”

I couldn’t stop staring at my mom. I knew it was my mom, but it was so fucking weird. She was an 18-year-old girl. She looked more like Fia than my mom. She looked so young and so innocent.

My dad was completely speechless. He kept staring at her and touching her. It looked like he was trying to assure himself that she was real. He hadn’t spoken a word since it happened. I wasn’t even sure if he had taken one single breath since it happened.

My uncle was trying to convince Anna to open the door and let him in. He kept screaming that she wasn’t dangerous and that Anna should let him get her out of there. I agreed with him. She wasn’t dangerous. The darkness didn’t affect her as it did Sophia. It was more internal. The battle my mom was leading was inside her.

“Please, Anna, please,” my uncle cried out. “Just let me get her out of there, please.”

I forced myself to look away from my parents. I looked at my uncle and my heart spasmed painfully. He looked terrible. He was on the verge of tears. He looked completely unhinged.

“He is right, Anna,” I said, making them both look at me. “She isn’t dangerous. Open the door.”

“Alex...,” Anna spoke, but I interrupted her.

“No, Anna,” I said, looking back at my mom. “Open the door. We are taking her home.”

I glanced at Mason. He was staring at my mom with a shocked expression on his face. He was pale and I was sure that he hadn’t moved an inch since my mom transformed in front of our eyes. I reached out and took his hand in mine. He didn’t even flinch.

“Open the door!” my uncle exclaimed loudly.
