A LITTLE FAMILY REUNION
Harper's heart felt as if it was being thrown about in her chest as her brown eyes flickered up to meet the her not-so-dead-father's eyes. He raised his eyebrows when he realised who she was, a wide grin crossing his face. The taller man lowered the taser, surprised.
"Harper?" He questioned in disbelief, his accent the same as the two young adults' in front of him.
The brunette didn't respond because she wasn't able to. The shock of seeing her dad in front of her, very much alive, was too much. He looked perfectly fine, sporting the thin, cotton jumpers he always used to wear. However he looked older, of course, and had a bandage wrapped around his forehead. Blood seeped through the middle.
She finally snapped out of it when she noticed Harry's heavy breathing behind her. He was scared for her and that terrified Harper.
"D-Dad," she stuttered, "you're alive."
Gabriel Valack nodded, the smile still present on his face, "yes, I survived, Harps. I'm right here."
She inwardly cringed at the the nickname that her friends gave her. It sounded gross coming from his thin lips, like a curse word. The way he spoke was condescending, as if she was still the eleven year old girl he knew before the shooting.
"I-" Harper couldn't string a proper sentence together, not sure on what to say or what to do.
Gabriel placed a hand on her arm, "it's okay, sweetheart," he acted nicer towards her than he did when she was young, "I know this is all very confusing for you, but I was going to come for you, when you're-"
"When I turned eighteen," she finished his sentence for him sternly.
Valack looked shocked, "what?"
"Harper," Harry called warningly from behind her.
She was panicking inside, unsure whether to make a run for it or not. Harper couldn't just leave Harry behind, not when she promised to get him out of here.
"When I turn into an Empath, like my mother. That's when you were going to come and get me. So you could experiment on me like you did with Harry," the words wouldn't stop flowing out of her mouth, "you killed our mothers so you could work on Harry and I... You're a monster."
Gabriel's face hardened like it did whenever Harper asked him for something unreasonable as child. He raised his hand to smack her, but Harper ducked last second. Valack growled and turned around, bringing the taser back out. He lit it up, taunting her.
Harper wearily took a step back, aware that Harry was screaming for her to just leave him. It wasn't in Harper's nature to leave someone behind. If there was a way, she would find it.
What would Scott do?
She thought about this as she dived away from his taser and arms again, knowing she couldn't keep just dodging him. It was going to end badly for her if she didn't start fighting back. She would try to punch him, but she was worried about the taser in his hands. He was much bigger than her.
