*flashback*
"Marcus, what is next on the agenda?" Anthony put his hands on his hips, awaiting another task from his assistant. He had just stopped a plan for an uprising in anti-authority.
Some of the local vampyre clans had been plotting to take over his control as the highest leader. They thought he was becoming too sensitive of his views on family.
He had a human wife and also a human daughter. The other vampyres thought this was shameful and Anthony should be brought down.
"Well Anthony, there is a matter of safety lately. Our people have found it hard to feed at night since a few of our kind had been careless and left obvious clues around their victims.
The police are out every night and they keep good watch of all the--" He was interrupted by the door. "Ah, Johnathan, come in. We were just discussing the safety of our people."
Anthony greeted his visitor and showed him to a seat. He was introduced to Marcus and went to his chair."What brings you here this night old friend?"
Anthony asked as he handed Johnathan a glass of brandy. "Nothing really, just a visit. Can I not pay my dear friend a visit after almost two decades of not so much as a call?"
"Of course you can. I meerly asked a question. Haha, the same old Johnathan I see. Taking offense in everything." He laughed and seated himself beside his friend.
"I may be the same, but I noticed that you have changed." He pointed to a picture on the desk. "Yes, this is my wife, Maria.
We have been married for almost twelve years now. My, it has been a long time since your last visit."
Johnathan looked around the room a bit before he noticed a slightly open door and saw a young girl playing. "And who would that be?"
"Oh, how could I have forgotten, this is my daughter, Dahlia. I love her more than life itself." Anthony smiled and stared through the door at his daughter.
Then, all of a sudden, his expresseion turned serious. "Johnathan, I have to ask a great favor of you. You are just the one I need. I am deeply greatfull you decided to visit."
"Well, go on Anthony, ask what you must." The older man moved closer to Johnathan and placed his hand on his shoulder.
"My dear friend, I feel my time on this earth is short. I need you... to take care of Dahlia. Watch over her, guide her, and bring her to her place when the time is right. But, do not use her."
Johnathan could do nothing more than nod. **end**
"Do not cry Dahlia. Your father loved you very much. He did all he could to keep this secret from you." Marcus stared into my eyes. "He lied to me"
"No, he spared you. You could not have understood the great complexity of his situation. He was the one who had to keep all of us alive.
You were his main inspiration. You were the thought that kept him from giving up on our people. And for this, we are in complete gratitude towards you."
Marcus held me back by my shoulders and looked down at me, smiling. "Thank you Marcus, for everything. How can I repay you?" He let out a small laugh.
"Just seeing you smile, the same smile of your father, is enough thanks for me. I will always miss him, not just for the leader he was, but as my friend."
He squeezed my shoulders a bit and turned to walk away. "Wait! Where can I find you.... if I have a question?" He looked back at me and stood still.
"My room is the second door past the main hall. Don not worry, I will never leave you."
