Tord's P.O.V

"Don't worry princess he's just resting right now, I don't know if you've ever had a fever so you can't go okay? He'll be okay."

Tamra grabbed my hands, "But I-I need to talk to him Uncle Tordy." Her hands hold me tighter, she looks terrified.

I frown, "What is it? You can talk to me."

"I-I can't, I need to talk to Daddy." She argues.

I pick her up and she hugs me sniffling, "Okay, as soon as he's better you can talk to him, in the meantime, Uncle Matt and Edd have a surprise for you."

They walk into the room, Edd eyes me, "You sure about this Tord? We can wait for Tom-"

"No, she deserves to know, besides, it's time we do something she wants for once. I don't want her being around Thomas, this is the least we can do to distract her." He nods, and I smile at Tamra. "They're going to help you find out who your mom is."

She flew out of my arms and bounced up and down, "Really?!" Her eyes beam with joy and her smile grows. "THANK YOU UNCLE TORDY!" She laughs hugging me.

Edd holds out his hand, "Come on Tammy, why don't we go outside and pick some flowers first like you wanted? Matt will start searching while we do that."

I watch them walk off hand in hand, I grab my walkie. "Tyler, go with Edd and ensure he has guards with him"

"Of course Red Leader," the static stops.

"How's his fever?" I ask, "It's still really high but we have the needed medical equipment at our base. I've already sent out a group to bring it."

"Thank you," he hands me a bottle, "Make sure he takes this for now. He'll be alright, it takes more than a fever to get him to stay down."

"Y-Yeah it does," Thomas holds the wall for support as his legs shake.

Matt and I rushed to his aid, "Tom! This is the third time you haven't listened! You can't get better if you're not resting!"

"Please just- just listen to me. S-Something isn't right-"

"Thomas. Not another word." I grit. "I need a squad to watch over the medical facility." A group of men turn my way, "Take him back to his bed and make sure he stays there." They help him walk away.

Matt states to me, dazed, "Tord... Don't you think you're being a little harsh?"

"You know better than anyone the seriousness of his condition with his ignorance to listening." I rub my temple frustrated, "I'll go with you to our computers, let's focus on that right now."

Edds P.O.V

Tamra points at the little sprouts of daisies in the grass. Her hair dances through the chilly breeze. I grin at the jacket that's nearly as big as her. "Do you think daddy will like these?" The clouds are open for once, a small ray of sun lights up the grass. Its warm hand touches my face, dark clouds threaten her hand in the distance.

"He'll like anything from you," I smile back. She giggles and motions for me to help her, I crouch down the basket next to her. Her body freezes, I quickly move her hair out of her face and look at her. "Tamra?" She looks like she's seen a ghost.

"D-Daddy.." She runs back to the base and screams, "DADDY!"

"TAMRA!" I race after her and she hysterically sobs through her breathless chase. A few of the soldiers take notice and stop her, she claws them, and my hands rip her off of them. "Tamra! What are you doing!" I yell. She looks at me with burning purple eyes, her horns turn darker and her fangs grow longer. "Hey! I yell again picking her up.
