Chapter 34 - My Child - Vladimir POV
At Stefan's words I dove into the pond, my eyes scanning for the girl... no, my daughter. Where is she? Was this all my imagination? Did I finally lose my mind?
Spinning in the water at the sensation of shifting water I swam forward, my non-beating heart leaping for joy as I pulled her into my arms.
I could see it now, in her siren form she had her mother's features. Her skin, though shimmering like silver, had a pearl texture.
She was beautiful and I knew she was my daughter. I could see my features in her face.
I gesture for her to come to the surface. There were many questions I needed to ask. Where had she been when I had found Parthenope in the pond? What had she been doing in her long life alone? Did she know what and how special she truly was?
As our heads broke the surface I let out a cry of happiness before pulling her back into my arms and laughing.
"Oh daughter, my daughter, I thought I lost you!" I cry into her shoulder as I held her tightly to me.
