Xavier's POV

I was sitting next to Ajax on the grass, we were roasting some marshmallows.

- I forgot to ask before but, is that Y/n's father? - Ajax asked me pointing in the direction of where Y/n and her father were.

- Yeah. - I answered paying attention to the marshmallow.

- Why does she seem annoyed with him? Is he a bad father to her? - he asked.

- I'm not sure, he seems super nice, I don't know how things work between them. - I replied sincerely, after all he really seems like a great father, it seems that she just doesn't like him, a few minutes passed without Ajax asking me more questions.

- Xav, come with me. - I heard Y/n say appearing suddenly beside me with her hand outstretched for me, at that moment I knew there was something wrong with her attitude.

- I'll be back later... - I said to Ajax and smiled at his family as I took her hand and followed - Did something happen?

- No. We're gonna have a family talk, that's all. - she answered without looking at me as we sat across from her father, she was definitely not normal.

- Now, I'm going to tell you a story, Xavier, and you will just listen and after that you'll decide if staying with Y/n is worth it. - F/n said and moved the same gray smoke between his fingers as before and I couldn't do anything but obey and keep quiet to hear him, that's when I realized that was why Y/n was weird, he used this power of "hypnosis" or something like that, on us.

- No, you can't do that! - Y/n said and when she was going to get up he stopped her using the smoke.

- And you, my little girl, will not try to stop me. - F/n said and I got angry, he was going to tell me the story without her consent, and worst of all, I basically couldn't do anything but listen.

Y/n put on her earphones and lay down on the grass, I could almost hear the sound it was so loud.

- 1122 was the year, I was waiting for my beautiful wife to give birth to my little girl, which I wasn't even sure was a girl yet. - he started - She was in our castle room with the midwife, I was outside too nervous to join in the moment, I waited for hours, and when the screaming ceased, no cries were heard, and when the midwife left the room I was shaking with afraid of what she would say, "I'm so sorry sir L/n, your wife didn't survive it and the baby..." the midwife said to me and I grabbed her shoulders asking what happened to my baby, when she opened her mouth to speak we heard a baby cry and I ran into the room, she was wrapped in bloody rags next to her mother's lifeless body, I took her in my arms and she stopped crying and opened her eyes, something incredible for a newborn baby, and I noticed that her thin black hair started to change color to red and her gray eyes, typical of newborns, changed to ruby ​​red, a beautiful creation of the universe, born of death. A miracle, was what the midwife said - Hearing him speak with such pride immersed me in the narrative.

- When she turned around the age of eight I discovered that she also had wings, and at twelve that she could become invisible, at sixteen I discovered in a peculiar way that she controlled blood cells... She came to me covered in blood, and I despaired thinking it was hers, but she told me that 2 boys were trying to physically hurt her because of her appearance and in an instinctive act she exploded them, leaving only bones. It was the first time she made me the proudest dad in the world. - he said with a twinkle in his eye, horrible thing to be proud of.

- In 1187 she was 65 years old and I was beginning to worry that her death was approaching, obviously she didn't age in the usual way but everything indicated that she was mortal. That year, Ruadh appeared, a Scottish Gaelic, red hair and red eyes and wings, he looked 16 years old, but said he was actually 400 years old, that he were born in the same conditions as her, vampire father, human mother who died in childbirth and a supposedly dead baby. He explained that every 100 years he was reborn like a phoenix back at sixteen, the only difference between them is that Ruadh instead of blood, controlled fire. They were good friends. - so Y/n wasn't the only one, but what happened with Ruadh?

- In 1222 it was confirmed that they were indeed unique creations of the universe, Y/n was reborn from the fire and returned to being my little girl. In 1235 Y/n and Ruadh became lovers. - I felt my stomach turn just thinking about Y/n with another man - I didn't support it because of the age difference, but she was already around 30 years old again, so nothing stopped them, at some point Ruadh noticed changes, he was becoming mortal, never knew exactly why... I didn't notice that Y/n had become a bit cruel until she killed Ruadh in 1244, she wanted to be unique. - WHAT?

- In 1431 Y/n met Vlad II, he was 39yo and she around 25yo, she became his wife and had her first child in the same year, my first grandchild, Vlad III, yes, the one who inspired Bram Stocker's stories. Apparently Y/n didn't like the life of a wife and mother, she distanced herself from them for a while, but Vlad, her then ex-husband, made the big mistake of leaving her son captive of the ottoman empire, when she found out in 1447, she buried him alive. - okay, she WAS really cruel but it's all in the past now.

-Vlad, her son, became a cruel man, torturer, a real tyrant, maybe because of that she decapitated him in 1476, leaving her 14yo grandson, Mihnea I, without a father. At some point Y/n decided that her lineage should be erased, so as not to cause future damage, maybe she was afraid to relate to someone of her own blood, so in 1510 she killed Mihnea outside a church with a knife to the heart, in sequence killed his 3 children, Mircea IV, Milos and Ruxandra.- I didn't exactly know what to think.

- In 1531 Y/n had a daughter, D/n, I don't know exactly who the father was, the girl was beautiful like her, red hair and green eyes, but at that time there was the inquisition and you know that they didn't like redheads, the people of the village where she was living thought that Y/n was a demon, because of the red eyes, and decided to burn her in 1542, and that only made it worse because she didn't burn, she threatened them after that failed attempt, and they let her raise her daughter in peace, for a while...

- In 1552 some women saw D/n making perfumes and denounced it to the inquisition who already knowing that Y/n was "a demon" decided to chain her legs, arms and neck while she slept, they covered her face, and several men held their chains carrying her to the big fire they made to burn D/n, when she saw her daughter die, a killer instinct took over her, she broke free of her chains with overwhelming force, men exploded, heads rolled, bodies broke in half, and not a single person was left to tell the tale. Y/n came to me once again covered in blood, she cried in my arms, that's when she decided to wear red all the time, to try to remember her daughter... - I fully understood her motivation for such an act.

- After that I didn't know where she went or what she did until she reappeared in 1791 at the founding of Nevermore Academy. I have visited her a few times over the last 200 years. Her last great act was having fought in the Second War, she killed many men, she was the reason the allies won.

- How did you find out about the Second War?! - Y/n asked with eyes in fury, and me and her dad looked at her not knowing how long she had been listening.
