Skye Stark's Daughter (Stark's Daughter 3)

Chapter 6

My phone rings loudly next to me, I instantly grab it so it doesn't wake Zeke. I roll over in bed and realise he's not there. 

"Hello?" I say down the phone. 

"Skye, are you okay?" My dad asks, his voice urgent and full of worry. 

"Yeah, why?" 

"We've been robbed." He announces. 

"Im on my way." I say and put the phone down. 

I jump in the shower, get dressed in jeans and a shirt, then go to Hope's room but she's not there. She's sat on the living room floor reading a book, already dressed in a purple dress. 

"Sweetie, how are you feeling?" I ask, kneeling in front of her. 

"Tired but i can't sleep." She admits. 

"We have to go to Grandads, he needs our help." I explain. 

"Can i play in his cars?" 

"Um...If they're still there." I mutter as i take her hand and take her to the car. 

We reach my dads and the front door is smashed in, i take Hope's hand and we step in. Everything is smashed or thrown on the floor, paperwork covers the ground and glass sprinkles around us. 

"Grandad?" Hope shouts. 

Dad pops up from the floor in the kitchen, picking up cutlery. 

"What happened?" I ask. 

"We went out after the party and we both drank so couldn't drive. We stayed at a hotel and came back to this." He explains. 

Hope lets go of my hand and races down to the basement. I squeeze my eyes shut, feeling them go ice cold, i then open them. I start to put things away using my power, i put paper into piles and put them into drawers.  

"Did they get anything else?" I ask as i pick up glass frames with ny eyes. 

"Yes, I've been designing something dangerous." 

"Another suit?" I tease. 

"No. A pill." 

"What sort of pill?" 

"A mind control pill." 

"What?" I ask, dropping everything i was holding up. 

"A mind control pill?" I repeat. My mind racing at the thought of how dangerous this is and now its in a stranger possession. 

"Yes. Im not proud of it." He mutters, running his hands through his hair. 

"Have you told Pepper?" 

"Of course not. I didn't tell her when i was dying let alone now." 

"When you was dying? When were you dying?" 

"Before i met you, that doesn't matter." He shakes his head. 

"You don't tell me anything!" I shout. 

"Skye?" Pepper asks as she strolls in, i notice the engagement ring on her finger. 

"Congratulations on your engagement." I say, smiling. 

"Thank you, it was so romantic! Tony had roses and everything!" She explains, kissing my dad. 

"Tell her." I demand and march out and into the basement. 

Why doesn't he tell me things? He didn't tell me when he was dying. Dying. 

I unlock the basement door and see curly brown hair poking out of one of dads cars. I stroll over to the red ferari and see Hope asleep at the steering wheel.
