Always and Forever #wattys2021

Chapter 52.

"Hi dad" I smile staying out of the room.

He turns around.

"Hope! Hi, sweetheart... Come in!" I enter.

"Permission..."

"This is your house... You don't need to ask anything" He smiles.

"How are you?" I sit on the chair.

"Fine, thanks. What about you?" He asks worried.

"To be honest, dad, I am afraid" I sart crying, but I try to control myself. "I've always been. From the moment when mom disappeared, years ago, to when all of you disappeared...  I started live a nightmare without end.

But I tried a lot, how you know, and... For a while my fear was gone. I saw you again" I smile. "We were together again, and all were with us"

"What happened then?" He gets closer, taking a chair to sit in front of me.

"Caroline comes" I laugh. "And I stgart think... I could lose you again, even if I knew it'd never happened.

In fact, I continue tell that her and to myself. But everytime I see her, I see destruction.

Then I see you happy, and I calm down myself... I just want you to know I llove you dad, and I will do anything to keep you and everyone else at safe, like I always did and you did to me in the past. We're family, and family stays together Always and Forever, no?" 

"Always and Forever" He only says, then he hugs me.

"I can't lose you again..." I cry.

"You're not going to lose none else, love, I promise you" He hold me tights, and I do the same.

"i don't hate Caroline... I just... I am afraid of her" I admit all the truth.

My father looks at me.

"Why are you afraid of her?"

"Because you care about her. And people we care can make us suffer. And I don't want this happens to you" I finally say. "I feel myself responsable of you, of mom, of uncle... Of my cousin- brother! It's me who brought you back in life!"

"But you can't control us, and I'm sure you don't want to" My father says, and I answer with a head gesture, which means no .

He smiles. "So... You have nothing to worry about"

I look at him.

"You brought us back, but you don't want to control us... What kind of responsability could you have on us? Think about it, Littlest Wolf"

I look at him.

"If one of you do something wrong, so wrong which could take him or her to death.. I..."

"It's not going to happen" He rassures me.

"Promise" I say, and he become another time serious. He stands up and he get closer.

"I promise you, my Littlest Hope, nobody will gets hurt this time. And we all will continue living as we always did, this time more happy"

I smile. Those words make me feel more quiet. Much more quiet, like... If I could really trust in that.

"I believe you" I finally say, then I hug him.

"I love you, Princess" He whispers holding me tight.

"I love you too, King" I whisper.

"So..." He restarts talking. "Isn't it a problem if we have a new roomate?" He asks, I don't know if to test me or something else, but I smile without feel anything about happyness.

"Absolutely not, this is not a problem if it makes you happy"

He smiles.

"I know you would do the same" I jocke, then I go away before he could say something in reply.
