My father left to go to war when I was only six years old, leaving my mother and me to take care of the clan and slaves. I barely had a father figure in my life, but out lord Kain. He made sure that I made it through my lessons with flying colors and pulled more then my weight around in the house.

As I grown up, I heard no word from my mother or by letter whether my father was alive or if he really cared about his family or not. My Coming of Age test came and past without me seeing him or word form him. My hatred for him grown with each phase of the moon that went by.

Ten long hard years went by, the war finally ended and my father came home. Victorious. But the ten long hard years would not match the pain I went through that year.

We were on a grass covered hill, in the middle of spring, my mum was reading a book and I was climbing trees and playing with my wolf, Wolf Moon, when the army returned. My father rode ahead of them. We heard the army chanting and my mum looked up towards were they were coming in from. I stopped playing with Wolf Moon, and turned towards where my mum was watching. There I saw my father, looking towards us. My mum dropped her book and ran towards the path to meet my father.

I stood there alone now with my wolf as the army came in through the gate. Then a sudden jolt of energy went through my legs and I found myself racing through the woods towards my clan territory running to my room. As soon as I found myself running, I found myself in my room locking my door.

Tears of angry steamed down my face, unsure whether to scream or rip out my hair. I never wanted to see my father since he left for that blood war. Now I was force to see him everyday

Later that afternoon, I came out to grab a bite. Turning around a corner, going towards the kitchen, not paying attention, I nearly ran into him. Looking towards him, I saw why many of our salves respected him. He was well built and his bright green eyes, held a hidden angry in them, that would make a person's skin crawl and melt. Although, he was pale as anyone could get, it held a darkness all vampires had and that could bring down a mere kingdom in a week.

"Whoa there tiger. Not so fast," he said smiling, "I haven't seen you in ten years. Man look how tall you've grown."

I stood tall with out a word looking at him and slowly narrowed my eyes. Beside me Wolf Moon started to growl and bear her teeth, I placed a hand in front of her to make her stop.

"I'm glad to see you again. So how have you been?" he asked, I could tell that he was getting nervous.

I didn't answer him; I just walked by and went into the kitchen.

"Aren't you glad your father's back Lady Storm?" asked one of the Cooks.

"No, I'm not, now mind you tongue!" I ordered.

I threw a piece of meat to Wolf Moon, who caught and ate it. Once I was done getting a meal ready for myself, I went back to my room with it.

"Storm, aren't you going to the banquet?" asked my mother, half way back to my room.

"No, why was I suppose to?"

"Well yes, all the council members are going -"

"I said no." I said rudely and started off to my room."

"Just a minute now young lady," came my mum's voice with angry.

I stopped in my tracks and turned around.

"I don't know who, you think your talking to, but I know it's not me, not that way."

"I just don't want to go. That's all, now if you don't mind if I'm going to my room and enjoying my dinner."

"Hold it!" I stopped in mid turn, "What's wrong Storm?"

"What do you mean? There's nothing wrong."

"You've been in your room ever since your father came home, now you're not going to a banquet."

"I just...Look dad didn't write us, the whole ten years he was gone. On top of that he writes to Lord Kain."

"I understand that, but your father may not have had time!" she responded bitterly.

"Oh but he had time to write to our Lord!" I said furiously.

"What's up with this bickering going on it here?" asked my father as he came in dressed in his banquet clothes.

I looked away, "Nothing, nothing at all," with that I turned and went in my room, locking my door behind me. I sat down at my desk and began eating. I throw one or two pieces towards Wolf Moon every now and then, but for the most part I ate my meal in silence.

Once I was done I grabbed my tray and open the door. As I opened the door, I overheard my parents talking about me.

"She's probably feeling hurt because you missed her coming of age test," said my mum.

"It could be, but still she seemed extremely pissed at me. The air around her felt like ice and her eyes even colder. I don't know what I've done, but I'll do anything to get her love back," said my father.

"Oh come now, there's not need to worry about it, now come or we'll be late for the banquet. Besides I still love you" said my mum.

I walked by hoping to be unnoticed by them, but my attempt failed when my mother turned around.

"Ah, Storm, come give hugs and kisses."

"I gave my tray to a slave and walked over to her, giving a hug and kiss to her, then turning to my father. I saw him looking at me, in his eyes I saw how truly hurt he was. I felt my little kid that knew him well inside me wanting to hug him, but I stood straight and tall.

"Well aren't you going to hug your father?" asked my mother.

"No," came my father's voice, "she doesn't have to."

With that he turned and walked to the door. I felt a hand being place on my shoulder and my mother's voice.

"Do you have no heart Storm? You should forgive your father, he didn't mean to hurt you in anyway," then she followed my father out.

I watched as the door shut, then gave orders to the slaves. I sat on the couch watching the fire that blazed in front of me.

"My Lady, your mother wanted me to make sure you went to bed on time, so you will be on time to your lessons tomorrow. Said brown hair male slave.

"What does she take me for, an arrogate little bitch? Or maybe someone she doesn't want to relate to?" I said furious once again.

The slave looked shocked at my outburst, and then turned away.
