Hi I'm back from my "mini vacation". Well thankyou to all my wonderful
reviewers I hope to get some more. I shall give out newly made sugar
cookies. LOL! On with the story.
As they reached the cabin in the woods the boys jumped out. Anna opened the door like a normal person would and wordlessly climbed out. The boys looked at her then looked at their Grandfather, who motioned them to go inside. Then he took Calianna's arm and led her towards the trees.
"Now, I know you know me. But I don't quite understand why you are mourning your so called father when your real father is still alive."
Calianna looked up sharply as he said this and realized she had to explain. "Yes, you know me, but your old business partner is not my father. I knew him for six years of my life, and I believed he loved me. I was young and naïve. Mother left him as you well know, and took me with her. He never even tried to follow. Soon the divorce was finalized and mama fell in love again. In time I also grew to love him as a father. This is why I'm mourning his death."
Grandpa nodded but then spoke again. "Well I fully accept this, but there are some things you need to know about. The first is your true father did try to follow you but was stopped by me. I realized that the best thing for you would be to live with your mother. I had grown close to you because of the time we trained together. Do you remember?" She nodded before he continued.
"The other thing you need to know is that your parents were murdered. I know you were told they were killed in a car accident but it wasn't an accident. Did you ever wonder why your parents knew that they would need your aunt to move in with you? I guess not. Your father had written countless letters to your mother wanting to know about you. She never returned them. Finally he got desperate and arranged for your mother to be tracked and killed. Now that he has her out of the way he'll come looking for you."
Anna stood there trying to process everything he had just told her. Slowly she began to nod. "It makes sense. But I don't want to go live with my dad I mean who would want to live with a guy like Snider."
Grandpa nodded that was the response he had expected. "I though you would not want to live with him. Therefore I can promise you that he won't take you while you're under my care."
Calianna nodded and felt tears coming to her eyes again. Grandpa pulled her into a hug, whispering words of comfort.
