Basically, this is a rewrite of my original fic, A Knock on the Door. As I'm writing this, I have no idea if this has the same title or not. If it does, how lucky you are, for it will save confusion for previous readers. Just a note – there shall be no more A/Ns for a while because this is just a rewrite – words added here, bit added there etc. The rewrite is dedicated to all the people who reviewed, favourited or followed the original, and especially those who did all 3. Some days, I just wanted to give up on this, because I had so much going on at home and school. Then, I'd go to my mail box, and someone would have followed or favourited or reviewed the original, and that gave me the hope that, maybe, I could just keep writing. So far, it's worked. In some chapters, it will be split in 2 – Cat's P.O.V., which will be at the top, and a third person P.O.V. following one of my OC's at the bottom.
A Note to the Reader
Reader, you are about to embark on a journey with me – though it is not my usual kind. It does not involve rebellious lords and a hunt for an imaginary diamond, running from the Runners and posing as a boy while trying to save my friend, visiting foreign countries as a ballerina, an actress, or a pirate, and most certainly not being press-ganged. It does, however involve the search for a family member – my father.
I have my half-brother, I know my cousins and uncle, my mother and aunt are dead, but I still hadn't figured out who my father was, and I knew very little about him. All I knew is that he was an actor, so I prayed my knowledge of the theatre would help.
Back then, little did I know, I would not be pulled into this adventure, and I would still not find what I was looking for. Instead, the adventure would come to me, and I would find something much more precious.
Do you want to follow me on this tale, no matter what the consequences? Then read on, my friends, and we will see where the story takes us.
