*Skylar's P.O.V. *
Seeing her walk into that house made me nervous. I could tell she was nervous also... maybe afraid, just looking at her reaction when I pulled up in front of her house she froze in place and began shaking a little she couldn't even speak all she did was listen and nod when I said something to her. I don't know what worried me the most, the fact that she began to get scared or when she walked into that house. I drove down the road, with all of these thoughts and questions in my head that I didn't even notice my phone ringing, I would've picked it up but even though I'm lost in my mind I will not drive while speaking on the phone, unless I stop at a red light. I let it go to voicemail and kept driving till I got to a red light, hah coincidence maybe? I picked up my phone and saw that I got a missed call from my father, great what does he want? I ignored it and thought that I'll answer it when I get home he isn't that important anyways so he can wait.
I started driving when the light turned green and saw my house come into view as I drove even further. It's a good thing she doesn't live far I'll be able to get to her faster when she needs me, I pulled up into the drive way and made my way into the house, I felt my phone vibrating so I grabbed it and saw that it was him again I groaned and answered the phone.
"Hello?" I said in a bored tone
"Why didn't you pick up the first time?!" He yelled
"Because I was driving" I said in an obvious voice
"Don't get smart with me mister!"
I was already going up to my room tuning out his yelling, I swear he overreacts to everything.
"Why did you call dad?" I said over his yelling .
"Did you see my note?"
"Yes I did nice way of leaving me by the way"
" oh quit your complaining fucker I'll be bringing someone home with me two people actually"
"And I care because?"
" you'll see" then he hung up, I looked at my phone with a confused face, I was confused and curious. He said he'll be bringing two people home but didn't say their gender, probably some of his friends I don't know and I don't care either. I shook my head and sat on my bed, I put my head between my hands and groaned I swear he frustrates me sometimes, I leaned back and relaxed my mind from all the bullshit that keeps trying to corrupt my life even more. I looked up at the ceiling trying to distract myself from thinking too much, seeing that it wasn't working I decided to go shower.
I grabbed a pair of black sweats and boxers, why use a shirt when no one is going to see me? And headed off to the bathroom. I turned the water on so that when I go in it was ready and undressed myself. I saw some old scars that I got from...those days and just traced my fingers over them. I felt disgusted knowing that that happened to me but being changed into what I am now makes it seem like nothing even though in the back of my mind I knew it was definitely something. I snapped out of the trance and got in the showers, I grabbed my favorite shampoo and conditioner and made sure I washed my hair really good, I then washed my body with my axe soap and rinsed off. I heard my doorbell ringing so I got dressed quickly and ran down the stairs wondering about who it could be and now that I opened the door I wish I never did in the first place.
It was him. The guy the creature the nightmare the life ruiner the monster who changed me into what I am now the man who saved me when I didn't want to be saved it was him...Atticus. I stood there in shock, we stayed making eye contact for awhile until he cleared his throat.
"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to let me pass" he said in his old British accent. I couldn't move, I was still frozen. He took a step forward making me step back in fright.
"W-what do you want Atticus?" I said stuttering
"What, I can't check up on you?"
"It's been years since I've seen you!"
"That doesn't mean anything. Now let me through" he said while walking into my house. I closed the door and stared at him, he was dressed in skinny jeans with black shoes and a white button down shirt his hair was still blonde but it looked a bit darker. I walked up in front of him with a blank stare.
"What do you want?"
"To see my child of course"
"I'm not your child I never was just because you changed me doesn't mean anything"
"I suppose you're right"
"I know I am"
"I suppose you want to know why I decided to just change you and then abandon you, no?"
"Yes I do isn't it obvious ?!"
"Well...I suppose we should sit down"
We walked to the living room and sat down on the couches I sat across from him so that I could face him. I was nervous maybe scared I mean come on he's my maker and he fucking abandoned me then out of nowhere fucking years later he appears ! That's bullshit man this is bullshit why is life full of bullshit?!
"Well...to start off I wanted to apologize for leaving you like that it wasn't in my intent to abandon you"
I snickered and leaned back. Bullshit
"The reason I changed you was because the day I saw you, you were dying"
"What do you mea-"
"Let me finish"
I stood shut and waited for him to continue.
"Yes you were dying. You had cancer and you didn't have much time left to live they were planning on pulling your plug the day I changed you. You might be questioning on how I know this, I was visiting an old friend of mines at the hospital when I overheard them talking about you to your parents. They were devastated at the fact that you were going to die that night so they decided to say there goodbyes to you before they did it then leave because they didn't want to see you die. When the nurses left I snuck into your room and I felt so much sadness towards you. You were so pale, skinny, you looked like you were in pain. I decided that when they pulled the plug that I would change you and after your funeral dig you out and give you away to humans so that they could care for you and so that you can live a normal life, I waited hours and when the time came I saw your parents crying when they said goodbye to you, they left as soon as they did and a couple of minutes later they pulled your plug covered you in a blanket then left the room. I snuck in and did the process for the transformation it would take about a day or two for it to complete because since you died alone and weren't killed during the process it would take longer. Plus the funeral was going to be the next day so it was a perfect timing."
I stood shut. Tears were forming in my eyes I tried to fight them but they won the battle and fell down, I covered my face with my hands.
"Do you want me to continue?"
I nodded I had to know this I had to know why all this happened.
"At your funeral I hid in a tree to know where you were going to be buried. When everyone left I walked over to your grave and said that you will be out soon and left. When night came I went back and began to dig you out I decided to do it in the night because well no one would see me anyways once I took you out I made sure everything looked untouched and carried you to my house and waited for you to wake up."
Before he got to finish his story there was a knock on the door. I got up to answer it but suddenly the door was broken down, everything was happening so fast I heard screams and people shouting suddenly everything went black.
