Not One In Eight

24. Sight for Sore Eyes

Sorry for it took so long to upload. Just couldn't think of a good way to get into the 'Find Daddy' vibe. So here it is and I hope you like it. By the way. Jody, Emmalie's human best friend, is named after my soon-to-be aunt who I thought resembled the character.

________________________________________________________________________________

"Davie I need your help." I asked sweetly pleading him. He looked at me weighing his options. But of course it was hard. I was giving him my very best puppy dog eyes and pouty lip.

"Emmie.............." he trailed oof.

"Pweez......." I plead and looked at me like I was some kind of siren trying to seduce him to the dark side or off a cliff.

"Emmie I have I pretty good idea what you want but-" he started when Fayette came in and cut him off.

She looked very bouncy.

"I'm coming with!" Fayette squealed at me looking totally unserious. Until I met her eyes.

They were dead serious.

"You sure you want to come?" I asked and she eagerly nodded.

"Yeah, so I need to pack come with!" she said going to grab my wrist but David pulled me back.

"Nu uh, she's mine." He said pulling me into an insanely sweet kiss. I tried to savor it a few seconds before I pulled away and looked at him with longing.

I went up close to his ears seductively and whispered, "If I don't go with her she'll severly over pack." I gave him a peck on the cheek and whispered, "I love you."

"Come on Emmie." She said tugging me up the stairs and away from my soul mate. Who was looking at me with such longing. With puppy dog eyes.

They can't compare to mine though.

The second we were up the stairs and in the room she quietly slammed the door and plopped herself on the bed. I looked at her, silently willing her for the answer and I guess it worked because she delievered.

"Emmalie, I saw something." She said, as if she were possessed. Her pixie-like qualities were actually.............scaring me.

"What did you see?" I begged her, willing it to be good news. But then again, it' probably be bad. She wouldn't look so striken.

"They want you. They want you real bad." She said quietly, almost incoherent and muffled into the pillow.

"Why?" I couldn't understand why I, even being a half blood, could be so important. Unless.........

"I think it might be your powers. Even we don't know the extent of them. But maybe they, the people who want you, do. They probably want you because it's great. Then again I wouldn't expect anything less than that from you. Or..........." she trailed off.

"Thanks for the compliment but what else could it be?"

"Your father."

"Why?"

"People might have found out about you. Enemies might want to use you for black mail. Or just because you are his daughter. And if you are theirs, they'll get an elevated position on the council."

"But why me? Why not the others or my mom?"

"You're his heir. Plus, you seem to be the only one who he even cares about. Plus you seem to be the only one who can melt his heart."

"And what exactly is the council?"

"They are the oldest and/or strongest of each kind. There is a representative for each kind of creature. Fey, troll, human, vamp, witch, shifter, were (there's a difference), angel, and the all important mix. Like your............dad. Wait he's doesn't have any fey. Not a full, and neither are you. Few." She said wiping a symbolic tear of sweat off her forehead in relief.

"Why would it be bad if I were a full mix?"

Wouldn't that be a good thing?

"Not at all. A full mix would be invincible. As strong as a vampire except without the weakness of fire. As immortal as a fey with the name restrictions( you know because if you know a fey's full name you have power over them). The powers of a witch without the loss of control. And so on, no weakness and all powerful."

"All right so you're on the train to 'Find Emmalie's Dad' train."

"Yeah, Emmalie. I'm with you the whole way." She smiled to me.

"Awesome." I hugged her.

She pulled back a little and looked me in the eyes, "Though I don't think Roy's going to take the new very well."

"It's not like you're telling him you've decided to marry me after years of loving devotion for me from afar."

"I think I'll mention the when I break the news. That'll get him laughing so much that he'll yes to my question not fully understanding."

I smiled at her, "devious."

"Yup, we make a very devious devilish pair."

We took the stairs seven at a time laughing the whole way.

"So-haha-your-haha-going-hahah-somewhere-haha-dangerous-heheh-with Em-*snort-and David-hahaha-sure!" he told her unable to stop the laughing.

"And can I marry Em?"

"Sure-hahahahahahahahaha!" he didn't even stop to say anything more even remotely coherent.

So we left.

David******

I don't understand why she wants to do this. Why she wants to go into the bees nest even though their stings are fatal and she knows she'll be stung.

But if she didn't fight and wasn't so stubborn, she wouldn't be the women I loved. Though it is aggravating. She is a handful, trust me on that.

"Hay Davie." She said seductively sneaking up on me. I still couldn't get used to how quiet she can be.

But even though she aggravates me sometimes, I love her so I put up with her, "Hay Emmie. So what's up?"

"Fayette has jump unto our train!" she said excitedly and I shuddered. So long on a trip with my sister. Pure toture. Plus, she said nothing about Roy so without him, she'll be complaining the whole way.

Another thing. I kind of wanted to be alone with Emmalie. I mean we haven't been alone in weeks probably. Okay, maybe that was an overestimate. But I really miss her. I get to see her but we really don't get to talk.

Or do other things.

You can't blame a guy for such things. No matter how old they are.

"Love you." She whispered peacefully in my ear drifting into a sweet, happy sleep.

"Love you too." I whispered back to her and although she's asleep, I think she heard me.
