Daddy Hale ||

Chapter 17

Lilah was stretching on her bed, a tired yawn escaping her. Glancing around she felt a chill run through her. Pulling the blankets tighter around her, Delilah frowned. Something wasn't right. A small creak on he wood floor made her tense. Suddenly blue fire erupted from the spot, making the young girl jump and stare. Marie smiled sweetly at her daughter.

"Hi baby."

"Mama!" Delilah slid off her bed, thumb making its way in her mouth, carrying the blankets in the other, she waddled to her mothers flame.

Marie giggled fondly and couldn't help but stare at her growing child. Delilah will be turning five in a few short months. Where did the time go? Besides, ya know, facing raging lunatics and killer alphas.

"Whatcha doin here?"

"Something big is about to happen, my darling. Something that involves your pack." Delilah straightened and frowned at her mother.

"Wha's going on?"

"I think you'll have an idea." Marie said, blue eyes holding a knowing tint.

Flashes erupted through Delilah's mind. Men dressed like dark samurai's.....Weird fireflies.....An upside down five.....Stiles....A fox and a wolf......

Delilah shook the images from her head and looked back up to her mom.

"What do I have to do?"

"What you were born to do, little angel. Put the souls to rest. Protect your pack."

"I'm only four mama. This body is useless." Delilah shuffled her feet. Marie smiled and leaned down, kissing her forehead, the flames licking at the smaller girl.

"But it's how you belong. Perfect the way you arm my darling and never forget that. Your as big as you feel." Marie's light was going out and she reached for her daughters hand. "Take care of yourself!"

"Mama....is someone gonna die?" Lilah had to know. She had to know how hard she had to protect them.

Marie smiled sadly. "It's vague but yes....someone will die."

"Will i die?"

"That is up to you and your choices." Marie said, light flickering out. "Go on, they need you."

A shadow....a mummy looming creature....so much red.....crying.......the scent of burning flesh.....a dark smirk curling on a sweet face.....death...

Delilah jerked up from her bed, panting heavily. Sweat lined along her forehead and she gasped. Looking toward the door, she could see where Marie should have been but wasn't. Her visit wasn't a dream or a nightmare, but a warning.

Quickly, Delilah hopped out of bed and raced out her door. She tiptoed around Cora's door, hearing soft snores and entered her fathers room at the end of the hall. Derek's sleeping face was illuminated by the half moon and she really hated doing this. He was at peace for once. Delilah climbed up on the bed and sat on Derek's chest.

"Daddy? Daddy....Daaaaaddddyyyy!" Delilah poked and prodded his face and started to gently jump on his chest. Derek grunted and looked up at her.

"Lilah, wha's wrong?"

He was shocked to see her beautiful eyes turn into the haunting purple. He was even more shocked by the next words out of her mouth.

"Daddy, it's coming. Someone's gonna die."

The End.
