Chapter 7

' Knock, knock'

I could hear my mother call out to me through the door "Marcus are you ready it's time for us to start." I slowly opened one eye and saw the time on my clock that was on my dresser. "F*ck!" I yelled, jolting upwards.  I jumped out of bed, without a minute to waste and ran straight into the shower. Ceremony starts at seven at night and here I am just getting ready now. The party was at full swing downstairs. This party my mother put together was just for me and here I m only getting ready now. I took about a minute or two in the shower, scrubbing before I hoping out the shower smelling fresh and feeling excited for the party. Suddenly, I realised my mother forgot to restock my towels in my bathroom. Still soaking wet, I placed a clean pair of boxes on, leaving my room without a shirt and rushed towards my parents room.

I approached my parents door and begun knocking, hard. There was no answer. So, I banged on the door a little louder than i usual would but again, no answer. A few hard knocks later, I guessed my mother was still downstairs entertaining the guest that had now arrived. Thinking nothing of it, I turned the handle to my parents room and proceeded to get what I came her for, a towel. When i approached my parents bathroom, the door was cracked a little. I could tell someone was in there by the rustling that was heard behind the door. Suddenly, a loud moaning sound formed. I quickly blocked my ears and sprinted back to my room. My parents were seriously getting it on, right now while there was a party happening down stairs. I felt disgusted, just thinking about it.

I had almost reached my room door, when I saw my mother standing there with her hand on my door handle, getting ready to turn it. My eyes widen, the colour slowly draining from my face.

"Oh hello son? Why are you in your boxes you are supposed to be ready". I looked at my mother with abit if confusion. How is she out here? If she's in here? As I mumbled to myself. I looked at my mother again with a sad expression. There is no way I'm letting my mother get hurt, not now and surely not tonight.

Scratching my head trying to think of away to get my mother away from that fool. "Ah mum ah you forgot ah my suit??". Some how that stuttering question work because she grabbed my hand and lead me upstairs to my room.

We finally got to my room. Three flights of stairs later and I was already tired or maybe I am still half a sleep. "Son what do you mean? See I left your suit on your bed". My mother began to look at me confused. "I think your father dropped you on your head to much son" as my mother started laughing while she was walking out my room. "Hey mum!" As i remembered my father was having s*x downstairs. "Something is wrong with the stage. I forgot to tell you, that the man said it was wobbly". "WHAT!" As she screamed out, staring at me with horrified look. I shrugged my shoulders and then she turned and went running downstairs.

"Phew..." I said, wiping my head. That better give my father enough time to finish up. If my mother is even a little upset, I am going to rip his heart out. How dare he cheat on my mother on our special night as I kept mumbling to myself before I hoped in the shower.

I was in deep thought, standing in the shower. I was so anxious about tonight. Wondering if i was going to see Larissa tonight or not. To be honest I didn't want to continue with this ceremony as tonight i was to announce her as my Luna. Then the deeper the thought the more I thought about her and Tommy. Soon after I was about to picture them having s*x until I heard a knock on my door.

I wrapped my towel around me, turned off the shower and headed to my door. As I opened it my father walked in with a smile. "What do want Carl?" As I snapped off at him as I watched him walk to my bed. "I will not take that tone Marcus don't forget I can take you out quite easy" as he scoffed showing me his claws. "What are you doing here father?" I questioned him again. "Well you see son I wanted to see you before your ceremony. My boy" as he tried to lean in for a hug. "HOW DEAR YOU CHEAT ON MY MOTHER I HEARD YOU!!". "EXCUSE ME?!" he snapped back. "I was in the room I heard you and whoever it was. I'm going to tell mother after the ceremony." He leaned in staring into my eyes and whispered "Tell her what? If i hear one peak out of you. I will kill you, your mother and your Luna. What's her name again? Ah yes... Larissa Snow". 

How did he know about Larissa as I began to pout. As he began to walk out he snapped his head back "and oh.. you better reject Larissa too. You don't want to wake up with her head in your bed". I swallowed my saliva and began to whimper. There is nothing I can do. I nodded my head and watched my father walk off.

Why did I open my mouth as I started to whinge. Tears began to fall as I sat up against my bed, I do not want to hurt her but my mother needed to know. It was almost seven thirty and i needed to make an appearance. So, I wiped the tears from my eyes and  and continued to get ready.  As i was done, I took one more look in the mirror, plastered a fake smile on and exited my room. 

"This is going to be a long night" I thought.
