secret wings

chapter 5

~the next week~

As I woke up I was trying to remember something. I was thinking and thinking, and then it hit me. Today was my birthday! Can't wait! Wait! What am I going to wear? I know, I will put on a dress. Maybe my best one, yes. My best dress is sapphire blue and shimmers in the sun so it matches my eyes, poof sleeves, gloves that go over my elbow, the material was silk and the skirt was lovely, with pieces of ribbon and it wasn't like princess dress, it flowed freely and hung loosely. 

As I was admiring my self in the mirror I heard a knock at the door.

"Come in," I say. The door opens to reveal my mother. "Hey mum."

"Hi darling, my, you look beautiful," my mum says.

"Thank you."

"Well, when are you coming down, every one is waiting to see my daughter."

"In a minute okay, I'm kind of nervous."

"Oh don't be, they'll love you now let's go."

Today I am being presented to the kingdom which my mum is soon going to inherit from my grandparents and I hope everyone does like me, if they don't I'll go back to dad. If he's my dad.

"Mum?" I ask.

"Yes dearie?" she replies.

"Who is my dad?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, is my dad the dad I have been living with all my life or someone else."

"Now why would you ask such a question of course he's your dad," my mum says with a smile on her face.

"Because on our way here we had to go past water and lava and I know water doesn't matter because I'm quarter mermaid but the lava gave me this tingle and Jason said only vampires can control lava, so tell me mum, does my real dad have vampire blood in him?"

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that darling, at least not now, but I promise you will know soon."

"Either tell me now, or I'm leaving."

"You can't do that."

"Watch me," I say before sprouting my wings and soaring into the air.

I look behind me to see no one following me so I decided to see the one person I can trust, my father.

I float to the ground and start to walk to the door when I was suddenly pulled back by my wrist. I turned around to see Jason.

"Seriously Jason, what is it with you and pulling on my wrist?" I ask in a joking way.

"Sorry but why did you leave?" he replies with.

"I don't know, I just asked my mum a question to which she didn't give me an answer so I decided to come her to see my father, if he's my father," I muttered under my breath.

"Okay then. Do you want me to come with you?"

"No thanks, I'll be fine." I say kissing him on the cheek before walking up to my father's door and knocking.

The door opened to reveal my father.

"Lily!" he says hugging me to which I return.

"Hi dad, is it okay if I come in?" I ask.

"Of course, this will always be your home."

"Thanks."

"So then, what brings you here, I though you would be celebrating your birthday with your mother?"

"I was but I wanted to see you, are you saying this is a crime?" I joke.

"Ha-ha. Now then, what would you like?"

For hours we were talking to each other, joking, laughing, messing about, just like we use to.

"Dad? Is it okay if I ask you a question?" I ask.

"Of course it is, ask away," he says.

"Are you my biological father?"

"Now why would you ask that?"

"It's just that I'm curious about something and it has something to do with my father, just not sure what." I lie.

"Well I cannot say if I am your biological father or not, but if I'm not, you will always be my number one daughter."

"Thanks dad." I say then look outside the window to see it was getting dark. "Sorry but I have to go, mum would be freaking out."

"Okay then, tell her I said hi."

"Sure thing, bye dad."

"Bye Lily."

As I flew back to Futopia I couldn't stop thinking about who my father is. Is it the dad I've known since I can remember or is he someone I don't know with vampire blood or is this lava thing just rare in royal fairies?

When I finally got back to the castle I instantly saw my mum and flew past her into my room locking my door behind me.

"Lily open up," my mum asks.

"No. Leave me alone," I reply.

I hear a sigh then retreating footsteps letting me know that my mother has given up and left.

Falling onto my bed I left out a yawn so I grab my duvet and pull it over me. Today has been odd but I'm sure I will get used to it soon.

As my eyes closed I heard my window open so I re-opened my eyes and sat up only to see a dark figure standing at the foot of my bed.

"Hello. Who are you?" I asked but got no response, instead with inhuman speed the figure leaped at me putting a cloth over my mouth and nose with a stench I didn't recognise before I blacked out.
