December 13th, 1902 the year oil was found in Texas my parents, or who I thought where my parents, house was broken into. But I remember everything. There was a vicious storm outside, we are advised to stay inside. I was at my window looking out, my parents were asleep. Then something woke them up and I heard my dad open the patio door. The next thing I heard was my mom screams, and I walked towards the screams.
"You are not taking Addison!" My mom was screaming at the man. Who is my birth father, my mom ran as soon as she figured out she was having me. She married my dad to hide me away from my real father. And I did not know he was my father until now.
"She is my daughter and her name is Amanda!" I crawled around the kitchen to find my dad lying on the floor bleeding. I shook him to check if he was still alive.
He spoke softly, "run!" My father turned towards us, and his eyes were bright red. I stood up and ran out the patio doors into the storm.
I am running through the yard and my father is chasing me. "Amanda wait!" Those were the last words I heard before I died. I was born June 1st, 1894 as Addison or Amanda Jade Ames. And I died December 13th same day as my dad.
Her father's pov
Bo and I are running through the streets. I carrying my daughter's lifeless body in my arms. After several minutes of running we made it to the doctor's office. "Doctor Please help us! "
He looked at the both of us, then down at my daughter. "What happened to her?"
Bo spoke up, "she was hit by lightning!" The doctor did everything he could but he told us he did not know if she ever wake up again.
It's been 2 days since Amanda was struck by lightning. I was sitting in a chair looking over Amanda. Bo is pacing the room, then stopped. "This is why I hate you Vincent! You always come into my life and destroyed things! Now my daughter may die because of you!" She collapsed to the floor and cried. I was left to wallow in my thoughts. She was right I did come into her life and destroy things. Now our dauhhter is lying on what might be her death bed. Bo and my blood was very different, she is a nightwalker and I am a heavenly break. Our kinds were never meant to mix but we did.
I had to leave for a day to go check on my pregnant wife, Helen. But then I was right back at the doctor's office. Bo was pacing the room again when I walked in. "Would you stop pacing the room?"
She shot in menacing glare at me. "Why don't you just leave?!" I sat down ignoring her ranting and watched over my daughter. I heard her scoffed at me then continued to paced room.
The room is quiet all you heard was Bo's footsteps. "I hate you Vincent!" Her outburst caused Amanda to jump up. We both rushed to her side, surprised to see her awake.
She rubbed her eyes then asked a question. "Mommy who is he?" It broke my heart that my child does not even know who I am.
"Addison we have to go," Bo started to nudge her out of the bed. My anger started to build up again.
"No! Amanda I'm your father." She looked up at her mother for answers.
But Bo looked away so she looked at me tears, in her eyes. "Who am I really?"
