Chapter 12: Christmas Day
Prophet's P.O.V.
I was just sleeping on the hammock peacefully before if was shakened forcefully. "COME ON, WAKE UP, IT'S CHRISTMAS", gaige yelled as she continued shake me. "Alright ,alright, I'm up", I said before getting off the hammock. "COME ON, HURRY", she yelled before running away. I started to chase her down before we arrived at the dining room with the makeshift tree. The tree was made up of green guns, shields, and an eridium shaped star. "Huh, it's actually quite nice", I complimented before gaige pulled me towards the tree, along with vlad, vera, and ron.
"Come on, here are your presents", she said before handing out each gift. As we were given the gifts, gaige looked at us with joy. "open you presents", she said with excitement. Vlad was the first to open his gift, which was a portal turret helmet, Vera's was a plush skag, and ron's was an smg. All of them were opened except mines. Gaige looked at me with anticipation. "Come, on, open it", she pleaded. As I opened my gift, I was actually surprised. Inside was a picture of all of us. "I gave this to you as a gift because you were once alone, so it felt right to give this to you", she explained. I looked at the picture for a while before looking at her. "thank you, I love it", I said.
She giggled for a while before smiling. "I have a gift for you", I said before pulling out a small box from behind me. She slowly took the box from my hands before looking at me. "You didn't have to get me anything you know', she said. "But I had to, it's Christmas", I said. She slowly opened the box before her face was full of shock. she pulled out a silver necklace with the anarchy logo for decoration. Before I could react, she tackled me into a hug. "Thank you so much, BEST, GIFT, EVER", she said in joy.
Before I could say anything, I looked up in dread. "What, what's wrong", she said before looking up. Above us was the dreaded mistletoe. I looked over to vlad who displayed a "XD". "I'll get you for this", I mouthed at him. As I looked back at her, she quickly planted a kiss on my lips. We both quickly got up from the ground before we looked away.
"Wait, didn't you say you were going to find a way to my dad", she said. "I established a decent connection, hopefully you'll...where she go", I said confusingly. "She went to your room once you said you found a way", vera said. "Thanks", I said before walking away. "Also, one more thing", she said. "And that would be", I asked. "Do you like gaige", she asked curiously. "Like what exactly", I asked. "Do you like her as a lover", she asked. Both vlad and ron looked at each other before looking at me. "Well do you", ron asked. "Why would you ask that vera", I said. "I'm just curious, that's all", she said innocently.
I started to walk to my room, avoiding the question vera asked. As I made my way towards my room, I heard gaige and someone else. I looked inside and saw that she was talking through a com-link. "Hey gaige, are you talking to you dad", I asked. "Honey, whose that", her father asked through the com-link. "Oh, he's prophet, my friend", she explained. "Really, is he the one who made it possible to talk to my little girl", he asked. "Yes daddy, he did", she replied. "Could you come closer so I could talk to you better", he asked. I obeyed and walked towards the comlink before stopping right besides gaige. "So, what is it that you wanted to say", I asked. "Thank you so much for letting me talk to my little girl", he thanked. "Dad, I'm not little anymore", she said. "I know, but you're my little girl", he stated. "Dad, you're embarrassing me", she said. "Alright, can you leave the room for a while sweety, and merry Christmas", he said. "Alright, merry Christmas", she said before walking out.
"So, was there a reason for you to ask your daughter to leave", I asked. "So that I could talk to you alone", he said. "What would be the reason for that", I asked. "You built this for her so she talk to me again, is that correct", he asked. "Yes, she felt saddened, so I built this for her as a gift", I explained. "Hmm, how long have you know my daughter for", he asked. "I've met her 2 months ago, we seem to be getting along", I stated. "What do you think of my daughter", he asked. "I think of her as a good friend to be with", I answered. "And you don't think of her as anything more", he asked. "I don't know of what you mean", I asked confusingly. "Do you love her", he just asked forcefully. "I'm not sure, I just don't know", I answered honestly. "Can you at least answer this", he asked,"Was there that one moment you had with her and you felt strange". I thought about it before remembering. "It was only when I went to her room to give her gift that she left behind", I answered. "Hmm...alright, but remember this, if you harm her, I'll kill you, got it", he said. "I understand sir", I replied. "Also, take care of her for me", he asked. "I will do my best to protect her", I explained before walking away.
I walked towards my room before laying on the hammock. I swung back and forth, thinking what gaige's father asked me. I looked at the photo that gaige gave to me as a gift. I looked at it closely, as if trying to find that was hidden within the photo. I then smiled for a while before placing the photo on my pocket. "I think gaige's father is on to something about me", I said to myself. I thought for a while before sayng," Best Christmas ever".
