Chapter Nine: A Father's Promise.
Jedah walked into Lilith's house, Lilith sat on the couch, Easter on the floor. both turned to look at Jedah. Who now cloaked in his human form smiled lightly." Easter, were you a good girl?" He asked approaching her.
Easter just shook her head and took off running towards the kitchen and out the back door.
" Easter!" Jedah called trying to catch up to her but as he reached the back door and looked around " Easter!" No reply and no sign of a little girl.
" Shit." Jedah muttered turning and running back out towards the front door and running to his car, he slammed the door shut, taking out his phone as he backed out of Lilith's driveway," Sabbath, Easter is gone." He started as soon as Sabbath answered his phone.
Lilith merely watched with a frightened expression. She quickly ran to the phone and dialed." Verano! Its Lilith...Easter took off ...yeah she saw the news, and lord Jedah, please will you help find her?" She asked and after she talked to Verano she walked around for a moment worried. Then her phone rang.
" Hello?" She asked.
" Lilith." Jedah started on the other line. as she drove slowly through the neighborhood," What's wrong with her?"
" Look I tried to keep her from seeing the tv. I am so sorry. She saw what you did and now she afraid." Lilith explained.
Jedah sighed." I'm checking the house, call me if you see her." Wit that Jedah hung up and pulled infront of his house.He quickly walked out of his car and saw a light on in Easter's room. Easter sobbed and hugged her pillow close to herself. " Easter." Jedah whispered sitting down along side the bed."I know what you saw a scary. But..."
" You kill people daddy." She muttered.
Jedah nodded and took her in his arms and rocked her slowly, whispering" Sometimes a demon can not control their need for blood...it is an unfortunate truth of the demon race it is in our nature to kill." He explained. " I do not expect you to forgive me Easter."
" Is that what mommy would say? Or would she turn her back on you?" Easter asked.
Jedah shook his head and tried not to think of Marionette...not right now. Easter sniffled and inched back and stared into her father's eyes." Daddy. Please promise me you will never hurt anyone again." She whispered throwing her arms around him.
" I promise Easter."
Jedah walked out of Easter's room ten minutes later and pulled out his cellphone and dialed Lilith's number.
At her house, Lilith picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Lilith it's me, I found Easter. I came home and saw her bedroom light on. I went in and explained to her some stuff. She made me promise not to kill ever again."
Lilith relaxed but sighed. She spoke, "Well to tell you the truth, I was actually freaked out my self at what I saw. You really know how to put fear into a person. I was freaking out for what Easter was about to see and for what I was seeing. That's the whole damn reason I left the Makai. I wanted a simi normal life but I'm finding my self worrying about Easter's sanity and innocents because you couldn't control your own damn blood lust! But don't get me wrong, I understand your reasoning. But I just think you were taking your problems the wrong way. I mean, if I was you, I would of just gone in my human form and asked if she wanted to get a byte to eat then move on from there. Yes I know she has a power that threatens your existence and everything, I just think you should of taken a differant approach. Next something like that happens, call me first."
Jedah just looked at his phone and put it back near his ear again and spoke, "What are you? My damn love doctor?"
Lilith responded saying, "No I'm just a succubus just giving you advice before you permanently screw up your relationship with your own daughter. All I'm saying is, one more screw up like that, than there is a pretty good chance you could loose all respect and trust from Easter. Next time you do that, tell me so I can be prepared before you scar both me and your daughter for life. Well, it's getting late so I got to get going bye."
Jedah just sighed and went to his room to ponder what he had done and think about what Lilith just said.
I next morning and afternoon went surprisingly fast, he felt guilty for what he had done that previous night, he murdered a Niphilim who was baring, infront of the twin sister. Blossom was his target not an innocent. As he tipped back in his chair in his office Jedah thought and thought until he heard a knock on his door" What?" He asked in a flat tone.
" Dr. Dohma." He nurse started," You have a phone call on line one."
" Tell them I will call them back." Jedah said with a sigh, turning to his attention to his lap top.
" Its your daughter's teacher on the line sir." The nurse persisted.
This caught Jedah's attention ."I got it thank you." He said and picked up the phone," This is Dr. J. Dohma." He started.
Blossom on the other line...though mournful of her dead sister still kept her duties as a teacher and went to work and she did so for the one sweet little girl in the class, Easter." Dr. Dohma, this is Miss. Day I am calling on behalf of your daughter Easter..."
" What'd she do? Set the halls aflame?" He mused.
" Oh no...its nothing like that sir. I just would like to know if you have just a few moments to come and meet with me about how she is academics wise." Miss. Day said." She is very impressive." She added.
Jedah nodded," Okay...what time..." He trailed off and thought for a moment." On...second thought...how would you like to discuss Easter over...dinner perhaps."
There was a long pause then Blossom Day answered." I am sorry Doctor but I just recently lost my sister and her unborn baby I dont think I need a man to complicate things ...forgive me...but..."
" No, thats completely understandable. Yeah I can meet with you after Easter gets out of school...if that is good for you Miss. Day." Jedah said and felt like taking the phone and hitting himself with it but he didn't.
