The worth of a heart.
Chapter 2: A father's duty to his daughter.
Silverstar pov
I sat up in bed and groaned. I remembered passing out on the table in the kitchen. Dad must have brought me to my room. I looked out my window. It was night time. I sighed and went down stairs. "Dad?" I called to the room at large. I figured he was asleep and went to go back upstairs when there was a knock at the door. "One moment, please!" I called tightening my robe.
I opened the door to find a spider like man standing there. "Can I help you?" I asked. He looked down at me. "Hoppkins?" I nodded "Yes, are you looking for my father?" I asked cautiously, not opening the door all the way. "Yes, I'm looking for James Hoppkins." I nodded. "DAD, IT'S FOR YOU!" I called.
When there was no answer I rolled my eyes and whistled for Morph. The sleepy pink blob floated over to me and chirped. "Hey, Morph, think you can get dad for me?" Morph saluted and flew away chittering happily.
Dad came down the stairs. "Hey, Star, who's there?" I shrugged "He's looking for you?" I opened the door to find a laser gun pointed at me. I backed away quickly with a scream. Dad pulled me to him and shielded me. "Scroop?!" he cried in horror "Close, I'm told I resemble my father." Dad pushed me behind him. "What do you want?"
The man smirked "I originally came to hurt you by shooting you, but…" his eyes fell on me "Some how I think it would hurt you more to lose her." The ray was pointed at me again. Dad stepped between us. "Over my dead body." Another smirk "Fine, I'll take you both." And he fired at my dad. The beam hit him in the chest and he fell. I screamed and looked up at the man with teary eyes. His gun was at my chest as well. He pulled the trigger and it hit.., my crystal pendent under my shirt. The beams flew every where and one hit the man.
The next thing I knew, policebots were in the house.
