FEARLESS (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 12

"Who are you?" I choked out. He'd called me his daughter. That didn't make sense.

"You're father of course. Didn't you're mother tell you? Oh yes. Why would she. She ran away from me because she thought I would kill you. But of course I wouldn't. Not unless you join me."

It was too much infromation at once, what was he talking about. My Mum would never hide anything from me. And ran away from him. What?

"YOU AREN'T MY FATHER!" I shouted.

"My father is nothing like you."

"Of course I am. Just like you're Mother, but are you truly my daughter?" He said.

"You know nothing about my mother!"

"I know a lot about you're mother.
She was my wife, but she left me to get away from me." He sighed, "To save you from me, even though I loved you both... I don't think she knew that one day I would find you. No matter where you went. She put many gylpsyune, to save you."

"So, you... killed her, Were you, somehow involved in my... the murdur of Mu- of someone cl- clo- close to me?" I shutterd.

"Of course not human, do you take us for killers?-" She paused, and said on the second thought-"we don't kill if it isn't necessary." Priscilla replied.

So, they do kill and how can I trust what they say is true. They could, very well be lying.

"Oh, but you kidnap people, don't you? It's alright with you then?" I retroted, how the hell was it alright to kidnap me! I don't even know who or what they are

The anwser I got next was not what I was expecting from Lord Derek,"No point lying. It had to be done Zarina, It was for you're own good. She didn't want you to be who you really are. Is that not wrong? It's like keeping human in a fae world. Oh, how absurb that is."

This man, this cruel being wasn't my father. I wouldn't believe it. Never. He admits that he.. killed my Mum. Son of a -

Time seemed to stop. A boiling fury swelled inside of me, and the physical pain was suddenly too much to bare. A fragment of memory of my mother dead flashed across my eyes, I screamed and fell to the ground, tears covering my dirt stained face. After my fit, I looked up with a gleam in my eye. I knew what I had to do. I had to kill them for what they did to Mum and me. They would pay.

That's when I lashed out and was going for that bastards throat. I would have been happy if I did kill him but of course it wasn't that easy. The guards behind me held me back.

"Feisty, isn't she." he said his assistance.

"Where am I?" The question I was dying to know.

"There are several worlds, or realms, existing in parallel. Or maybe one exists inside the other. There is you're world - earth . The world you see every day. The human world. There is another world. The world of the fae, or any other beings that are different to humans." explained Jeremy.

In a realm? A fae world. Was this a fariy tale? A dream, maybe? I pinched my self, just to make sure.

Ouch! Not a dream then.

"How did you find me?" I asked struggling against my captors, I begged him for answers.

"Yes, go on my boy. Jeremy, or should I say Jem." snickered Lord Derek, "tell her all how you deserted her and make her you're friend so you could bring her to me."

Jem? No way... he wouldn't, he couldn't. He would never-

"Lies! All of this lies!"

"Well, you don't believe me daughter?"Lord Derek chuckled,"Let me show you." With flick of his hand the mask was off and the face I saw next was no suprise. It was true.
