The Truth

chapter 3

"What do you want?" I asked.

"You need to leave. It is not safe for you here." He told me.

"Why is it not safe here?" I asked.

"It's a long story," He answered.

"Well, I have all night," I stated.

"Okay, you asked for it. A couple of years ago I had a child. I loved her more than anything in the world. She had long black hair, a ton of freckles, and violet eyes." He stopped.

" What does this have to do with anything?" I asked.

"Lily," He paused, "I am your father"

I stood there in shock. Every bit of my body went numb, I couldn't move. I stood the looking at him, trying to find something that we had in common. We had the same rare violet eye, black curly hair, and many freckles.

"How am I not safe if you guys are my parents?" I finally asked.

"Well, Anna is not your mom but I am your father. I was married to a woman named Ivy. Anna hated her, because she loved me and I loved her. When Anna found out Ivy was pregnant with you she went crazy. A few months after you were born Ivy died." He paused a tear forming in his eyes, " I decided it was best for you to go stay with my sister, your aunt. I got married to Anna to make sure she didn't find or hurt you. Then you came here and I got in a fight with her about you. Now she is planning on killing you. You have to leave now." He told me.

All of the sudden, the door opened and I saw Anna. I tried to stay as calm as possible. She looked at Eddy and I. I am scared of her now.

"What is going on in here?" She asked harshly.

"I was just telling Lily that it might be safer for her to stay with us for a while." Eddy quickly answered.

"Y-Yeah, it's supposed to snow tomorrow." I joined in.

"Oh, well okay. Lily get some sleep," Anna told me.

"Okay, goodnight." I told her as she left.

"Lily, leave as soon as possible," Eddy told me, before he left.

"I will," I said.
