The Disappearing Mate

Chapter 2

I froze, she wants to talk about my father. I start to internally panic, we've never needed him before so why now? I hastily gulp the rest of my food down and cautiously reply, "what do we need to talk about mom..".

     She sighed, "now that your 19 you are able to find your mate, and before you interrupt not all witches have mates. But your not a full witch", she took a deep breathe and closed her eyes,  "kayia...... your a hybrid."

      I balked at her for a few seconds and starting laughing so hard I fell off the kitchen stool. "Theres no way, your lieing" i giggled at her.

  "Kayia I'm not lieing, your father is a vampire! This is very serious because hybrids are hunted due to everyone being scared of their powers!"

     "If I'm part vampire mom, why haven't I noticed don't their powers start showing at 13?" I yelled.

     "YES KAYIA BUT I SUPPRESSED YOUR VAMPIRE SIDE TO KEEP YOU SAFE. EVERYTHING IVE DONE IS TOO KEEP YOU SAFE!"

        "THAN WHERES DAD MOM? IF THIS IS TRUE I WANT TO MEET HIM! DID YOU EVEN LOVE HIM OR WAS HE JUST A ONE NIGHT STAND?!?!"

     She fell silent after our fight, pain obvious in her eyes. She looked at me with tears dripping down her face and said, "yes I loved your father he was my mate, but he doesn't know about you kayia. The moment I found out you were concvied I ran so you weren't hunted or killed."

     "Whats his name? Dad's? And what does he look like?" I glanced at her

    "His name is Lucian, and he's tall, dark complected and bright blue eyes, unless he's hunting and black hair."

     "Why did you wait so long to tell me? I mean why tell me now?"

   "Because when you find your mate, your child will be a hybrid as well. I'm also telling you as a precaution so hopefully you don't have to hide as I did."

   I paused deep in thought. I could find my father and get to know him and tell him of my existence. But at the same time it could cause a multitude of problems. It would risk outting me as a hybrid. Which could be very dangerous. But I could potentially meet my dad and his side of the family. See what traits i got from them.  I sighed, " Mom i want you to do something for me."
  
     "yes kayia?", she asked with a hint of fear in her voice.

      "Dont freak out when I say this", I paused hesitantly, gathering my thoughts and courage before I spoke. My voice quivered as I started to speak, "Mom i want you to take the spell keeping my vapmire side off. I want to get to know my other side. I also want to meet dad."
