His Daughter

24. The New Hunter In Town

When i wake up i feel a blanket on me and that i'm in my father's room curled up on his bed. I sit up and notice the light coming from the window and if i had to guess it is probably around noon. To be honest, i don't want to leave my father's room today unless i absolutely have to. You see this is probably and my biggest pet peeve with being a wolf, when i trust someone as much as i trust my father, i'm loyal to them and like a dog when that person leaves- i pout, lay with some of their belongings, the whole shabang. In the end i'm like a dog that misses her owner. I move so i'm sitting in the middle of his bed and i look around the room. I notice a ring sitting on the dresser and i get up walking over noticing immediately that it was his ring, the ring that protects him from the sunlight. As soon as i make contact with the ring i notice that he hasn’t worn this in a couple months making me relax a bit, but i take it sitting back down on his bed. I hold the ring in my hand just turning it for a while until i slid it onto my pointer finger since my hands are so small compared to his. I take a deep breath closing my eyes and focus on the ring so i could find him knowing that i could if i truly have the will to. I could see where he was at but i don't really recognize the area well. It seemed like a small town, kind of like Mystic falls and all i could see is blurred outlines of people and their surroundings. I could sense that I have been to the location before but I’ve been to so many places in my time even if i don't make it sound like it. This place has some kind of special connection to me, though i'm not quite sure where it is, so many places give me this feeling. The voices, they were muffled but i could make out a couple words of him saying about some kind of deal because they found Katerina. To be honest, i could tell that my father cared about this girl, but he needs to stop. I’ve dealt with her for a century or two- i don't quite remember- but i hated her then and i hate her now. All Katerina wants is attention and to string people along and that is exactly what she is doing, if i get a chance I’ll kill her, but my father, he will be hurt. I could always just tell him what she truly is doing, he should believe me, i would never lie to him.

The conversation ended and everyone left the room and i could tell that no one else was in the room so i focus more of my magic and when i open my eyes again i can see my father sitting on a chair with a drink in his hand, “hello father,” i say making his head snap up and he looked straight at me and he looks confused, “you realize that i can find you anywhere any time, that ring i gave you helps with that.”

“How are you hear though, you should be back in Mystic Falls to make sure Niklaus behaves,” he says standing up and walking over to me, sitting down his glass.

“I am, i'm here because of my magic,” i tell him.

“Why? This is going to make you weak, you need to be ready for anything.”

“This won't weaken me, not like going into the world when you are daggered. My mind is the only thing here but when i go into that prison world more of me travels there to have a bond to the place. That's why you could hugs me, here you can only see and hear me, i'm like a hologram,” he reaches out to move a strand of hair and his hand stops like it touches my head but i don't feel anything and i know that he doesn't either.

“Why are you here?”

“I wanted to see you,” he looks confused so i added, “as weird as this sounds it's true, but when i get an attachment to someone i'm like a lost puppy when they leave. I’ve only been like this with one other person, my brother.”

“I'm taking it that i'm pretty important to you then,” he says sitting back down and i follow, sitting across from him.

“Your my father, the person that i have prided myself on being like, being the person that i never knew, the father i’ve always wanted to know.”
