Prologue

"Cristina come here darling."

It had been sixteen years since I had, had Christy and yet I hadn't told her about her father. I can still remember that beautifully sunny day six years ago when she came up to me wearing a cute pink summer dress with flowers on it and pigtails with pink bows in them. Right away I knew some thing was wrong. I had gotten up from the chair in the kitchen and walked up to her to asked her what was wrong.

"Ma…mama!!!" she cried.

"OH mama…"

"What's wrong honey? What happened?" I asked as I embraced her in my arms.

As she kept crying in my arms, I just held her there and wiped the tears from her cheek. What could be wrong to make her cry like this, she had never cried before . She hadn't even cried when she'd fallen of her bicycle last summer and had needed to get stitches, what could have happened?

Finally after a few minutes she stopped crying and backed away from me carefully. Then she looked up at me with such a sad look on her face.

"Mama why did daddy leave us?…Did he hate us? Did he hate me?" She asked while she wiped of the remaining tears on her cheeks and eyes.

"Honey! No of course he didn't hate you. Oh who could ever hate such a wonderful child like you darling." I answered.

" What would ever give you the idea that he hated you?"

"Its just that the kids from school teased me because my dad hadn't attended the conference with us yesterday and then they asked me who my dad was so…I told them I didn't have one…." I could see the tears coming on again so I grabbed her and held her tightly against me.

" They told me that daddy had left us because he hated us….they said it was probably all my fault for scaring him away…and that you probably hated me to." she whispered to me.

"Oh Christy…." I whispered to her.

What could I possibly tell her? I couldn't really tell her the whole truth not now anyway, not yet, she was far to young to understand. How could I tell her that her father just used me to have a good time. How could I tell her that he hated me, that he hated her for being mine…that he hadn't really abandoned us since he had never been with us.

*FLASHBACK*I had met him in a party and in that first instance I had blindly fallen for him. The truth is that he had seen through me and me being a naïve sixteen year old that I was I had listened to him and trusted him. If only I had known that he just cared about a bet - a bet that him and his buddy Billy had had to see who could score the hottest girl at the party there- and not really even cared about me. After that he ignored me as if I were nothing, nothing at all. When I found out I was pregnant, I cornered him at his job and told him that I was pregnant and that the baby was his. He just stood there and laughed at me. I can still remember what he said to me.

"And what do you want me to do? Huh!! As I see things your just another slut trying to blame a married man for your carelessness! Now get the fuck out of my way.. Bitch!!!" he pushed me aside and walked away… that's the last time I saw him again. After that I moved to New York with my parents and continued on with my life..* END FLASHBACK*

"Honey your dad didn't leave us okay. He loved us very much, he adored you…"

"Then were is he mama?"

"Honey this is very difficult for me to say but I think you are old enough to understand….Christy your father got very sick and he just wouldn't get better so God took him from us to stop the pain, to stop him from suffering. Your father is still with us but we just can't see him because he's protecting us in heaven….."

"Do you understand now?" I asked her as she stared at me with a blank stare.

"Yes mama I think I do, he died didn't he." she asked.

"Yes." I answered her.

"Yes mom?" she replied as she descended from the stair. With so much grace in each step. She had grown up to be such a beautiful women.

" Do you need help with your medications?"

"No honey it's just I wanted to see you and tell you how much I love u Christy. You have grown up to become a strong women and witch like me and your grandmother. But I want you to promise me some thing before….." I coughed. I just couldn't bring up my death it was to hard to think that in a few months or even days I would be six feet underground with out my daughter.

"I want you to promise that you will continue with tradition in our family and enforce the rules on the others. You are now the leader of our clan and with that comes a lot of responsibility. Of course you will not truly become leader until your seventeenth birthday. Cough…… Cough You must prepare yourself, you know what you must do honey."

"Mom don't speak like that, you'll get better, you'll…."

"Honey we both know that my cancer is to far along. Now please listen.. Tomorrow I'll go arrange the paper work of who your guardian will be. Okay.. Now if you could please leave so that I can take a nap darling. Oh and Christy…"

"Yes?" she answered.

"You are very special honey more special then you can imagine,.. Christina I have made some decisions that you might not understand now but you will in time. I just wanted you to know that I do these things for your sake, you must understand that no matter what, I love you with all my heart…." Cough….Cough

"I love you too mom! I love you so much and I promise that, no matter what, I'll try to make you proud, no matter what!" she promised. Tears streaking her face.
