Midnight's Daughter's (2)

Brooklyn's P.O.V

It was my seventeenth birthday when I finally met my dad. The jerk that ditched mom and left her to raise us by herself. So you can imagine the tension, hostility, anger and pure undiluted hate rolling off mom when dad appeared at our door with a tall pale brunette with short coppery curls and emerald green eyes. She had full lips and could be a model if she wanted to...She glared at my brother challenging him to say something that disagreed with the man called dad.

The argument lasted for a long period of time. It was a shock it even lasted that long, the girl would have made an excellent lawyer. Mom didn't give in until she totally lost. She walked towards me looking seriously depressed and regretful. "Brook, your father is here to take you into his custody...I'm sorry it's a pathetic excuse but I can't do anything more than what I just did...I love you." She said sadly.

"What?! What do you mean I have to go with that shrewd old man?! There's always a way! How could you?! You swore you would never leave us! Never abandon us! How could you?!" I screamed in her face. Aaron walked in when he heard me yelling looking very angry.

"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!" He yelled at mom. When mom explained to him his reaction was the same as mine...Disgusted, horrified, angry and disappointed. I never thought I'd see the day Aaron give up but once I looked him in the eyes I could see he had already given up.

I quickly packed all my stuff and marched out of the house and only said goodbye to Aaron. He must have said something that offended the girl because he was glaring at her and I heard her say "So? You're lucky I don't feel comfortable injuring relatives. Unless you're fond of pain, I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself. Boy." She spat out at Aaron looking eerily serious. It actually got my hot-headed stubborn brother to listen to her. She immediately got my respect and awe.

"I think I'm going to like you." I said loud enough for her to hear but not loud enough for Aaron or 'daddy dearest' to hear. She gave me a half smile.

"I'm glad because we're going to spend a lot of time together." She replied sounding pleased and smug. She gracefully led me to a car...Not just any car but a Rolls Royce. OMG A ROLLS ROYCE! You have got to be kidding me.

"I never got to introduce myself but hi, I'm Poppy...Stupid name but it fits...sort of...I don't know why mom named me Poppy, it makes me feel like a pixie. And you are...?"

"His daughter." I said jerking my chin in his direction. Poppy just laughed

"Duh. If not you wouldn't be here right now sis. We're all excited to meet you...well our sector is. For now avoid the big sisters for now because they don't know what you can do or your skill level so they'll...erm...imagine a crowd of popular people confronting you and you are the school nerd and how well that conversation will turn out. Avoid the little sisters unless dad tells you otherwise because no one will respect you...even once they know your skill level." Poppy said happily. Pause. Rewind. What the heck?
