Chapter 4: Father and Daughter

I slowly open my eyes and growls. My head hurts like hell… What happened? I try to remember and then it suddenly came back to me. My father escaped after Superman tried to kill me! I look around me and find myself in a queen sized bed with red sheets and a heavy hanging red drapery around it. And as I look down at myself, I find myself in a dress that sits tight over my bust, waist and hips but then seems to flow out and the sleeves are tight sleeves with an opening at the top with rings holding it together just like the amazon dress and leaves some of my skin reviled along with the neckline that goes form the top of my shoulder to the other shoulder with my necklace hanging down over my chest.

"What is all this…?" I mumbled and rose and the moment I stood up straight, the dress adjusted itself after my length and I gasped surprised but quickly walked over to the big window and saw a burning kingdom outside. Trees were on fire, grass was of fire and there was even a volcano but nothing really burned down. "His magic…" I mumbled and then quickly hurried over to the door, opened it and looked outside in the corridor. No one was there… The walls were white as bone and all I could see were chiffon draperies waving by the windows in a wind I couldn't feel. I shook my head a bit, getting an odd feeling and hurried down the hallway until I reached the stairs and then hurried down and towards the big door but stopped at the end of the stairs with a gasp as some blobby things appeared from the floor. I quickly grabbed the hem of the dress and ran upstairs again and those blob things followed me. What was this for a place…?! As I reached the top I turned back towards the way I had come but saw that more of them were coming from pretty much every way except one so I ran that way as fast as I could and when they appeared there too, I went in through the only door the corridor had and closed it and locked it. I leaned my forehead against it and took deep breaths. What was those things?!
"Did they scare you?" I winched and slowly turned around as I heard my father's voice and there he sat on something that looked like a throne, completely calm and in a more human size.

"Father…" I mumbled to myself and turned so I stood completely turned towards him. He smiled at me, rose and slowly walked over to me and I pushed myself against the door.

"That dress fits you better than I thought it would."

"Where am I?" I asked, ignoring his comment, but then quickly touched my face. It was normal again… No extra pair of eyes or any weird feeling that the red demon skin often gave me.

"Don't worry; the magic in you is stable again." He took one of my hands as gently as he could and led me to the big windows and I silently followed, still on my guard. "We are in a hideout where your so called friends can't find us. It's safe here." I looked out over the land again and he slowly released me.

"But I was sa…" I stopped myself and lowered my head when I remembered what they had tried to do. What they had done. They got scared of me and treated me like a threat just because I got four eyes and they weren't willing to even try to find a solution. And then Superman tried to kill me but freed father instead by accident.

"You weren't safe there." He said. "They were ready to kill you, they even tried. But you don't need to worry about them anymore. It's taken care off." He turned around and walked back towards the throne.

"What did you do?" I asked calmly and low as I watched his back.

"Nothing you need to concern yourself about."

"What. Did. You. DO?!" I said and took two, quick flowing steps forward and he stopped at my tone and turned towards me.

"I sent out a wave of magic over that island." I opened my mouth in chock and covered it with my hand as I stumbled to the side and away from him. I became their Trojan horse too…?! "Now easy, child. I didn't use just as much force as with Azarath. I just knocked down some buildings and trees. As payment for trying to kill you."
"You think I want you to attack them back?!" I said upset and turned towards him again. "They might fear you and now me thanks to you, but they are still human beings!"

"Blessed by gods! They won't die so easily. Some of them might have fallen, but hardly a majority!" I took a deep breath and turned away from him again and he was quickly by my side. "Let's not fight, child. They are alright. Do you want to see them?" I looked confused at him.
"See them? From here?" He nodded and I thought of it before I nodded as an answer. He waved with his hand and a magical circle appeared in the air and it turned to something that looked like a big mirror that reflected what happened on Themyscira. I watched it in silence. They were digging out the amazons that had been trapped after the buildings had collapsed but he had been honest, for once, he had just knocked down some trees and buildings and most of the amazons seemed chocked but alright.

"What do we do now?" A woman I recognized asked their queen.

"First, we dig out everyone on Themyscira. Then we proceed with building up our home again."

"And what about Raven?" I looked at Damien as I heard his voice and the focus of the mirror changed to him. "You promised you would help!"

"I did indeed, but I need to tend to my people first of all Damien. They are more important to me than a half-demon."

"Mother!" Diana complained and the queen turned to her. "Don't say such things! She's still a child and she needs help! And you have agreed more than once to help her! You even invited her here!"

"She's a half-demon who brought this upon us! It was a mistake to take her here!"

"No! We brought this upon ourselves! So don't blame her for this! We made her scared and made her father take action against us!" Diana said with a sharp tone.

"But I do blame her! It's her father's doing and she caused it by getting here! She…" I used magic to silence it and I hugged myself tightly.

"Enough. I get your point. I'm not seen as someone they want to help anymore; they only see me as a half-demon who is a threat to mankind. Even the people blessed by god's fears me…" I felt tears in my eyes and quickly left and he just let me run past him without a word. As I came out in the corridor, it was silent and still again so I hurried to my room, now with tears running down my cheeks. They had all given up on me!

-Trigon's POV-

I looked after her and then restored the spell and watched them. They were fighting about what to prioritize but that boy, Damien, wanted to save Raven above anything else and he had gotten the amazon princess on his side. He had even fought for her before I was released… He could become a threat, later on. Raven didn't see his attempt to help her right now, she probably just saw that everyone gave up on her and wasn't going to help her. I sighed deep, shook my head and removed the mirror spell.

"Humans… So easy to predict. One simple spell over her face and they turned on her like she had caused the end of the world over a night. Everyone except that boy… He isn't like the others. He's more calculative and wants to gather every piece of information before taking a decision." I sat down at the bone throne and looked at the door she had left through and then looked down at the hand I had held her's with. Never mind that boy… What was going on with me? What was this warm and fuzzy feeling? Was I falling for that fragile little girl? Was I turning soft on her? I looked out through the window and shook my head. No, this is just to keep her from turning on me. I learned that from last time: It's better to have her on my side than the opposite side and to do that, I need her to cut all ties with her friends willingly and see me as the only one she could turn to and trust. Or she will just turn on me again and lock me up for the third time. I grunted. That's what I wanted to tell myself, but it wasn't just that anymore. I was starting to like that girl, my daughter, my flesh and blood. And for some odd reason, I don't want those filthy humans near her anymore. Simply because they so easily turned on people that's different from themselves. Even if they are a friend. They are a threat to her and I want to keep her from that. I sighed deep and placed my forehead in my palm. I was growing weak… But just this once I will let her show me her world, the world she loved so much she would rather die protecting than giving up.
