Adriana had loud noises downstairs and moved closer to her door to listen to what was going on.

"you are a worthless bastard Richard ! She is of your blood damn it!" A feminine voice yelled at her father. Interested in the conversation she crouched down placing her ear against the door .

"The bitch killed my wife, my mate! So fucking mind your own God damn business witch!" Her father's voice boomed.
There was silence for awhile before the woman's voice come softly.
"Your wife died at child birth and neither of your daughters killed her. She must really be disappointed in who you are now."
The female voiced  on a soft note and click of heels were heard as she left .

Descending from her hiding spot in her room, Adriana found her father sat on the couch with his face in his hands.
"She is right you know." She whispered for she knew he could hear her clearly with his Lycan abilities. " Andrea didn't kill our mother."

Richard Montez gazed up at his favourite daughter, she was strong and he loved that about her. As for her twin  he only did what had to be done.
"Let it be dear. I am in no mood to discuss your sister."
With that he stood from the couch and gave her an affectionate peck on her forehead. "Just look after yourself well." he said to her before walking out of the house. He knew it deep down, his time was running out. He had seen the signs and was ready for it to end. He just wished  his departure will bring a little stability to their world.
For just like his wife was meant to go then , now was his turn. He regretted how he had been treating his daughter Andrea. The poor soul,he thought. He now new that he had done wrong by her and when his times comes she would know that he was deeply sorry and he only hoped that his daughter would forgive him for being so brutal with her. She would know this before he time ends but the rest of the world   would still believe what they knew now for that was the way.

From the darkness he  watched, laughing wickedly. He was growing stronger as days went by. Soon  he would have the council eating from his hands and dancing to his tunes,  he thought , and once again  he disappeared into the dark.

Richard sensed the presence of someone and he heard a faint laughter. Stopping in his walk he sniffed around and the scent though faint made gag. The stench was so horrible , a hint of death, despair and something really evil . He knew the person emitting the foul odour was long gone and that it wasn't any ordinary creature. Looking on into the dark night with no moon to illuminate it, he knew that the evil was rising and in his evil doings it would want to use his daughters. He just hoped that Andrea was safe wherever she ran off to.

He felt ashamed of himself for treating Andrea the way he did. He knew now that she dissevered nothing of what he had done to her and was disgusted by his actions.

Andrea sat with Liam in house having dinner with him. In the past few weeks she had lived with him, he had been nothing but kind to her.
" A lady friend of mine is coming over tomorrow , I don't want you acting like my house maid. Do your daily chores but —" Liam started only to be interrupted .

"But it is what I truly am ." Andrea protested.
 
"No it isn't. Andrea you are not my employee anymore. If I will have to to prepare some paper work to finalize it and to make it official I will do so. You are a daughter to me, alright?"

She stared at the man for long. She was great full to him but she knew that once he knew who she really was he would kick her out. She had grown fond of him and did not want to deceive him.

"Liam,  you have an unnatural aura for a human.." she started.
Surprised he looked up at her quizzically  and waited for her to continue.
"You know the dark uh..child?" she questioned.
Wide eyed he answered " Of course i do."

Swallowing hard she told him what she was.
" I am the dark child Liam, I understand if you'd want me to leave now. My own father hated me for it anyways."

She waited for his reaction yet his face was blank,  showing no emotions that could let her know what he was thinking. He was silent just staring at her for a long awhile. Sighing Andrea got up to go get her things and leave, because she knew he will hate her now just like everyone else did.
" Where are going Andrea?"
Liam's voice stopped her in her tracks.
With her back still to him she apologised for not telling him before and that she would leave now. She felt his presence  behind her before he gripped her shoulders and turned her to face him.
" Andrea, I don't want you telling anyone else. They might harm you, if anyone asks you are Andrea my beloved niece and not Andrea the dark child. Okay?"
Shocked she stared at him. How could this man still want her to stay. When her own father couldn't stand her?
" You still want me here?" she questioned the disbelieve clear in her voice.

"Yes, you have done no wrong and my instincts tell me to protect you and that I shall do. I am Liam Turner, the warlock. Member  of the white frost council by the way." he told her with a small smile.

He had her gasp at that and chuckled lightly pulling her into a protective embrace. He knew for sure that she was an innocent , had there been evil within her he would have sensed it. He would protect her with his life he swore.
