Chapter 28 {FlashBack}

[March 17th 2020]

I walked around the pond and decided to sit down, something was nagging me. Every shifter was scared of somehow losing their ability to shift, I never understood it until I realized it was because I hated my own. They're so attached to it, it all makes sense!

I stood up and put on my shoes and headed to the Instrument room, I opened the door and heard him playing the violin. I waited for him to finish but I was bouncing up and down, too excited to stay still.

"MoonDrop what got you so excited?" A hint of laughter accompanied the question, "I want to be Turned!" I felt his Core sink, that was the fastest I've ever felt one drop. Why? Oh!

"Let me rephrase it! I want to be Turned," I spat it out fast, "but when I'm much older. Not now." I heard him sigh with relief. He abruptly picked me up and carried me over to the indoor garden.

"What spurred this on," I looked away, "Edith, please tell me." I scooched over and curled myself into a ball against him.

"I just-," I took a deep breath and continued, "found out why I don't like it." He squeezed me, I squeezed back. I felt tears fall down my cheeks.

"Why can't I be normal Dad," I muttered, "Why can't I love that part of me? I hate that she convinced me to hate it, I hate it! I hate it!" I flipped around and clung to his neck.

"Oh, little one." He stroked my hair, I quietly cried and fell asleep shortly after. A strange dream happened, myself standing on a rooftop. The night was only filled with only three constellations. An apple fell randomly from the sky. As I was about to bite it I woke up.

I stretched my aching limbs, I got up and sat at my bureau, I looked at my mirror and saw the mess of my hair. I grabbed my hair oil and put some in then brushed my hair. I cleaned my face from last night's crying, I sat still and searched for Dad's Core.

I went to his downstairs office and knocked on the door. I waited for him to tell me to come in. I saw him with Sam, I waved at him and he waved back.

A conversation started about who would Turn me if the time arises, Alexis was off the table immediately and I doubt that Sam's prodigies would want to either.

"So that leaves." I interjected, "I want Dad to Turn me if he wants to." I looked down, I would never mention this to him but I felt like I wasn't truly his kid. We aren't blood related but if he Turned me then I technically would.

"Oh, well if that's what you then," Dad looked at Sam, he slightly jumped then left, "what's the truth." I smiled, I told him the shameful truth.

He explained that he truly felt like I was his, constantly forgetting I wasn't biologically his kin. The air felt more clearer after that conversation, he suggested that we could go for a run at WonderWorld.

I nodded, he straightened out his clothes and politely sent me off to get something to eat.
