A vampire's princess

Seven

Demi's POV

'Avery Demetria Jonas!' I yelled, I was mad.

She looked at me. She knew I was so pissed right now. I never used her full name, only when I was ready to just snap her neck (not really though, she's my daughter).

'What the hell made you think you were allowed to do that?! Avery, you killed freakin vampires. And you used your magic for that. That's not how I raised you, young lady.'

She looked at me. 'Well, I obviously had no choice since you don't take care of your stupid vampires who were, not to mention, the ones who attacked my witches. And as the leader of my group, I just protected them because I love them and I care about them, I stood up them, that's what makes us all connected. And that's something you and your dumb bloodsucking vampires can learn something from.'

I just looked at her.

She was really getting on my nerves right now.

She was half vampire herself, but that was something she didn't care about at all.

Ever since she was a young little girl, she liked the witches more.

Just like her mother, but that turned out horrible.

I didn't want to lose Avery too. Not that way. Not any way.

'Your mother died the way in the way you could have yesterday.'

She sighed. 'Well, if even I can survive that, then she obviously wasn't that strong as everyone thinks she was.'

I gasped and looked up at her and looked straight into her dark eyes she inherited from Joe, her father. She had never said anything like that about her parents and I was a little surprised she just did.

It was a matter of seconds when I realized my hand just hit her cheek.

'Now listen to me very carefully young lady', I got closer while I was speaking to her.

'If your mother could see you right now, she would be disappointed. She would be ashamed to call you her daughter.' I immediately regret what I said, but I got the emotions I prayed that weren't gone for good.

'Don't call her my mother.'

She broke our eye contact and looked at her hands.

We were both quiet for a few seconds.

'Well then, good for her she doesn't have to, Demi.' She said. 'Good for her and her husband, that they don't have to see how I have become. Good for them that they don't have to see me as their daughter anymore. Good for them they left me before I could make memories with them. If it's true what you just said, maybe it was the right thing to do, to leave their three years old just like that. Maybe that whole fight back then, their deaths, my supposed-to-be-death, was for a reason. Maybe you shouldn't have saved me.'

She turned her head and faced me again.

Her eyes were watering.

I could feel mine too.

But we were both to "strong" to let it go.

'Baby girl....' I teared up even more. How could she possibly even think that way? 'If there's one thing in my centuries old life that I do not regret doing, which is honestly not very much, is that I got the chance to safe you. That I got the chance to raise you to the beautiful teenager you are today and to spend the best times with you. The privilege to have you as my daughter and the most special of all to me, is that you call me your mom. And maybe you don't agree with me right now, I do want the best for you and you know that. I don't wanna fight with you.'

I grabbed her little hand.

'Avy, I just want you to be safe, okay? And I'm really mad at you for what you did, because I don't wanna lose you too, you know? You're way too special to me to lose you too. Am I clear?'

She nodded as she put her hands in mine.

'I'm sorry, mom. And, I love you.'

I hugged her tiny little body tight.

'I love you too, little pumpkin', I stroked her beautiful long hair, 'Very much, never forget that.'

I had my hands on both of her shoulders as I held her. 'Now look at me.' I said. 'You're going home with me. Nick and I have to kill some bloodsucking vampires.'

She smiled at my imitation of her. 'I'm sorry about that, really.'

I pushed her tighter against my body. 'No, you were right. I am the one who need to take care of them, to have them under my control. I can't expect the witches to stay out of trouble when my vampires don't.'

She nodded and wrapped her arms around me. 'Matt got hurt yesterday.' She whispered.

I looked at her. 'He died?'

She shook her head.

'No, I, uh, took care of it.'

'You gave him your blood?'

She nodded.

I've always told her not to just heal someone by giving him her blood. But this time I didn't mind, Matt was a really good guy.

'Good.' I nodded.

'You're not mad about that?' She asked, a little surprised.

'No, he's a good guy. I think you did what you should have done. I'm proud.'

She smiled. 'Thanks.'

I smiled back.

'Now can I meet the human downstairs?'

I nodded. 'Yes, you'll like her. She's a nice girl.'

I took her hand and we stepped over the books and the broken glass we had thrown against the wall.
