(Aviva's view)
I watched with growing curiosity as my father grabbed a box from a shelf on the wall, then held it out to me.
"I have a gift for you," he said, as I carefully took the box from him and opened it.
My eyes widened in surprise when I saw a black and silver gun inside.
"It's called Crimson Shard." My father said, when he saw my delight and confusion.
"Thank you father, I've always wanted to be a vampire hunter." I said, and he smiled.
"You're welcome, and I know, because I'm going to train you how to be a vampire hunter." he said, and my eyes widened in amazement.
"Really?" I asked, and he nodded as he took my hand.
"You're almost ten years old, and I believe you must learn how to protect yourself." he said, and I nodded as I looked him in the eye.
"You're right," I said, and he smiled at me as he squeezed my hand.
"You are a Yagari, so hunting vampires should be a breeze once you've completed your training." He said, and I smiled.
"Plus I've got my father to teach me." I said, and he laughed.
"This is true, and I'm teaching you because I believe in you." he said, and I chuckled.
"I love you, dad." I said, and he smiled as he ruffled my hair.
"I love you too, Aviva." he said, as he smiled at me softly. "Do you miss her?" I asked, as I saw tears prick in my father's eyes.
About two years had passed since Krysta's death, and we were still adjusting.
I could see that my father missed her because he began to smile less.
I missed her too, she had been my best friend as well as my mother.
and I felt myself tearing up at the thought of her and dearly wished that she here with us.
"I miss you, mother." I whispered, as the tears fell and I felt father pull me into a hug.
"I know it's been hard for us to adjust, but we're going to have to manage on our own." He said, as he rested his nose on mine.
"I understand daddy, I just miss mother very much." I said, and he nodded as he gripped my hand.
"I need to go into town today, would you like to come with me?" he said, and I nodded.
"Of course! I love town, what are we getting?" I asked, and my father grinned at me.
"We're going to get some food for home and some board games." he said, and I grinned.
"Sounds exciting, daddy." I said, and he grinned.
"Well then, come along dear." he said, as he held the door for me and we walked out of the house together.
