His Perfect Daughter

Chapter 11

Hope glanced over at the clock, 3:45pm. Better get started. She got dressed and scurried downstairs where she spotted her father painting. Crap. I forgot he was back. Always at the wrong time. Best dad of the year award goes to.....anyone other than my dad.

"Care to tell where you think you're going, love?" Niklaus vocalized, without turning and continued to paint.

"I'm just going to hang out with a friend. You know, I do have friends dad." Hope lied.

"I'm sure you did. Back in Mystical Falls, that is. We are not in Mystical Falls, Hope." Niklaus responded calmly.

"Right. But I made friends here every time you kept leaving." Hope remarked.

"Then it seems you need more of them considering you followed me despite that." Niklaus scoffed.

"Oh, I didn't just follow you dad. I definitely did more than that. Good times right?" Hope nodded. "Anyways I need to go. For once I'm the one leaving. So suck it up dad." She asserted as she began to walk out.

"When I ignorantly thought her teenage phase was bad...this is a living nightmare." Niklaus shook his head and continued painting. Unfortunately, it is not a phase. He reminded himself. Somewhere deep within him, he knew it was the opposite of a nightmare.

As Hope reached the Bayou, her face immediately scrunched up. Ew. Why does this place smell so freaking bad! It's like they've been keeping their poop here for centuries! Well...I mean...they kinda live like animals so.... Hope thought.

"Well well well. If it isn't the third-breed!" Shilah grinned. "First the half-breed and now you his daughter!" She laughed hysterically. "People won't believe it when I tell em this. They didn't believe the story I told em about your daddy visiting me."

"Yeah...that's kinda why I'm here." Hope scratched her arm nervously. It's called tribrid. She doesn't seem too smart.

"Oh the irony! He came cause of you and now here ya are for him." Shilah laughed again.

Does she have mentally issues or something...What's so funny? And he came to talk about me? About what? "Wait...what did he come to talk about?" Hope questioned.

"Oh no you don't. First accept a deal. Then ya gotta tell me what you came for. Then I see to it. Then I tell that." Shilah rambled.

"Okay. I accept the deal. I came here because well...I want to know something about my dad and I think you're the person to talk to. Hopefully, I'm not making a mistake." Hope replied.

"Ah. What do you wanna know? Cause I am the right person. I know about everyone yet no one knows about me. I'd like to keep it that way." Shilah verbalized as she clicked her tongue.

"Well..umm..it's a weird question. Did my dad and his mom...did they like do stuff? Like weird stuff you know?" Hope mumbled. God. I already feel so embarrassed. What was I thinking.

"Weird stuff? You gonna have to clarify cause Klaus always does "weird stuff" and same thing with the rest of em Mikaelsons." Shilah shrugged. She knew what Hope was asking, but she wanted to hear her say it.

"Like...sex and stuff." Hope muttered, feeling her face heat up.

"Ohh. Why didn't ya just say that in the first place. In that case, yeah, I mean, if you wanna call it that, and then some." Shilah grinned. "In fact, if you wanna know more....I have his original journal entries around that subject but that's the only ones I'm giving ya." She stated. Oh, I'm gonna have a piece in corrupting this girl! Haha. In your face half-breed mutt.

"Is there a catch? And how did you even get those?" Hope questioned. This seems really fishy. And she has more? Does dad even know about this?

"Nope. No catch. I know he's your daddy but it don't mean I should have problems with you too. Here. Have em." Shilah lied, handing Hope Niklaus's journal entries in a bag. "I can't tell ya that. Sorry kid."

"Wow! Thank you! I'll give them back to you when I'm done." Hope exclaimed, ready to dive into those journals unaware at the horrors she would soon find out.

"Oh it's no problem. No problem at all. Now let's get to why your daddy was here." Shilah replied grinning ear to ear. She couldn't get enough of this girl's naivety. Especially because she was Niklaus's daughter. Oh, Nik. I'm harming you in a really damn good way. You got no clue who you done messed with.

Hope nodded, gesturing for Shilah to continue. As amazing as this all is, she couldn't help but question what her end of the deal was. What price would she have to pay for accepting all of this? That started to scare her. Nothing in life is free. She knew this. And yet she still continued to hear this woman.

"He came cause he thought you kissing him was some phase. I told him the truth. It wasn't a phase. It never was. You're a wolf whether he likes it or not. So is he. You both feel the same way towards each other. You two happened to be each other's werewolf mate. It doesn't happen all the time but it does happen. See, it's normal for female wolves to feel some type of way or even mate with a certain or even more males in their family; brothers, uncles, your daddy, etc. and vise versa. Especially if they wolves too or you around an Alpha. Now that's amplified. Your daddy is an Alpha so it makes sense why you went from first to second so damn fast. What I don't get is why it took you long. Usually it hits at 16. Your daddy must have not been around much or at all or something." Shilah explained.

It all made sense now. She's always had weird thoughts about him and felt strange things for him ever since she hit 16. She kept brushing them away thinking something was wrong with her or because she missed him too much. Hell, she constantly thought about having sex with him the whole day during her sweet 16. It terrified her. But now she knew. It wasn't only because her dad had male urges as her friends tried to ration. It went beyond that. He's a wolf. She's a wolf. It was normal even though it didn't happen often it still does and that's all that counts. Wait...did she say werewolf mates? Hope questioned. "Did you say werewolf mates?" She raised an eyebrow at Shilah, thinking she misheard her.

"Yup. You and your daddy happened to be werewolf mates. Usually mates aren't family, especially your own parent, but like I said...it happens. Happened to me. And now it's happening to you. Your daddy just gotta come to terms with it. After that, the rest is easy." Shilah shrugged.

"Easier said than done. Alright. So what's my end of the deal?" Hope vocalized.

"You'll know when the time comes." Shilah waved her hand in a shooing way. "Alright. Nice talk. Bye kid. I like you." She wiggled her index finger at Hope and transformed into a wolf, running off.

Wow. This is a lot to take in. Oh well. I got what I wanted and more without doing anything. Hope thought. Not so fast...what about her deal? Who knows what she'll make me do...Forget it. I got what I needed and that's that. Hope smiled, assuring herself, as she chanted the relocation spell.

Slowly Hope opened her eyes, praying she spelled herself in her bedroom. Yup. I did. Phew. Now let's get to those journals.

Hope started taking them out and titled them in order according to his age and the month it was in considering there were no years or a proper date on most. Her eyes hoovered over some strange sentences, but she didn't want to start reading until she put them in order. Done. Let's do this. She excitedly thought as she picked out the first one titled "16/January".
