Dad stared at me shocked.
"Jessica, how did you... Never mind. Just get out. I never want to catch you in here again." He said but I shook my head.
"What happened Dad? How did we end up like this?" I asked, looking him in the eyes.
"Jessica, what-" I cut him off.
"Dad, please. Stop calling me Jessica. Please. Anything but Jessica. It sounds wrong." I said, tears beginning to build in my eyes as I turned away from him. Hesitantly, he placed his hand on my shoulder in an effort to comfort me.
"Jessie, what's wrong? Come on. You can tell me. You used to be able to tell me anything. What's going on?" He asked and I burst into tears.
"Oh, Daddy!" I spun around and hugged him tightly, burying my face in his chest. "Its all my fault!" I sobbed and he wrapped his arms around me.
"Oh come on. What ever it is, it can't be that bad." He said, trying to be comforting but it only made me sob harder.
"It is! I lied to you and now I'm going to die with you thinking that I hate you! Because this stupid djinn trapped me in this nightmare and I'm stuck! I should have listened to you when you said I wasn't ready to hunt!" I cried and my dad stiffened.
"What?" He asked, shocked. So I told him everything. From Mom and Ben dying to being shot. And I mean everything. I even told him about what the demon said and about Tessa. He just sat there, listening as I told my insane tale and the weirdest part is he believed me. Every word of it. When I had finished, he let go with a sigh.
"Well, there's only one way to know for sure." I watched as he went to the back of the impala and opened it up. He rummaged around for a moment before taking something out and staring at it. "Are you willing to risk this?" He asked me and I nodded.
"Life's not worth living without my family. My real family." I said desperately ans he nodded with a sigh.
"Here. Do what you have to do." He said handing it to me and walking out of the garage. I stared at the item he had given me : a silver dagger. I sighed and closed my eyes before thrusting the dagger toward the center of my chest.
