16 Creed (Sabertooth)

Part 5: Like Father Like Daughter

Athena's POV.

Sapphire was driving me to the Lain house to meet this Victor Creed guy.

"Do you think Victor Creed is your father?" Fire asks.

"Possibly." I say. "We have the same last name... it's possible."

"Should I be ready to attack him with my bat?" Fire asks with a smirk referring to her baseball bat.

"Yes." I say laughing a little bit.

When we stop the car in front of the house, the first thing I see is a huge dark blonde haired man standing in the front of the house.

"Ah shit!" I say. I grab 2 aspirins and take them before getting out of the car.

I walk up to the man who's back was turned to me. "Uh... excuse me? Victor?" I say cautiously.

Victor turns around and looks at me in shock. "Athena?" Victor asks.

"Yeah." I say.

Victor swallows hard, "Athena, look, please believe me when I tell you that I am your father."

"How do I know you aren't some creep who's lying?"

"Because I got this birth certificate from the same adoption center that gave you to the Lain family." Victor hands me a birth certificate.

On the birth certificate it said,

Name: Athena Victory Creed
Date of Birth: October 4, 1969
Mother: Hazel Aphrodite Darien
Father: Victor Creed

I swallow hard, "Your name is Victor Creed?"

"Yes."

"My mother is Hazel Aphrodite... I know that for sure." I look up at Victor with tears in my eyes. "Your my dad."

Victor smiles down at me, "Yeah I am."

"So..." I wipe my eyes. "what now?"

A Few Hours Later...

"Are you sure you should go with him?" Fire asks me.

I was unloading my things out of her car. "I'm 16 years old and he's my dad. I honestly don't have any other choice but to go with him." I say.

Fire simply nods, "Good luck."

"Thanks." I mutter.

I walk over to the car that was apparently my father's.

"You ready?" Vic... dad asks.

"Yeah...." I say sighing heavily before putting my stuff in the trunk. Dad is silent, looking at me, "What?"

Dad chuckles slightly, "You look and sound like your mother... you may just be the death of me." dad says.

"Wait... mom... what-AH!" I scream.

I fall to the ground trying to hold my nails, but it's no use. "ATHENA!" I hear dad yelling.

I can't answer, I just keep screaming in pain.

After what feels like eternity, the pain stops and I'm sitting on the ground with dad trying to figure out what's wrong. "Athena?!" dad says.

My nails they're... they're longer... sharper. "What's wrong with me?!" I cry looking up at my father.

"Holy shit." dad whispers. "We have to go." dad picks me up and puts me in the car before getting in the drivers side.

As dad drives away, I look in the mirror on the window shield. What I see is horrific and disturbing.

"Oh... God." I whisper.

Staring back at me, was a different me. This me had long, sharp, canine teeth and the pupils in my eyes were slits like a cats eyes. I look down and see my nails look like a smaller version of my dads.

"What's happening to me?" I ask.

Dad thinks for a moment, "You're going from a newborn to a learning cub." dad says.

"What?"

"Err... you're turning into a mutant." Dad pauses. "Your my kinda mutant, darlin... you're an animal."

A Few Hours Later...

I was laying on the floor, not believing what I've just learned. "So... you're a killer." I say.

"Yeah." Dad says.

"And I'm your... child... or as you like to call me 'cub'." I say.

Dad chuckles, "Got it, cub."

"Wow." I breathe out. Like father, like daughter.
