You couldn't just let your father die! He's the one who brought you even when your mother died. He's the only thing in the world you care about and you won't let him leave just because a human has taken him.

You swim up as fast as you can to the boat, ignoring the searing pain in you back and you climb up the side to look over the ledge.

He sits down and pulls you into the deck and slowly strokes your hair.

"Shhhh my beauty.. it's okay, I would never hurt you"

You slowly calm down as he rocks you back and forth and you can't help but just lay in his lap and cry into his chest.

"W-why me?" You stutter out, still clutching your chest.

"You've always been the one for me, my prized possession, but we only just found out now"

He kisses the top of your forehead as you cry harder, your father still unmoving on the deck, and the boy whispers for you to sleep and you feel a sharp pinch as he pushes a needle into you.

Your vision starts to fade into black and you feel the boy pick you up gently and slowly start walking across the deck...
