Troy looked at her and said, "Well my father is very close with yours, they were friends since kids... from what I heard. So your father has been like an uncle to me... even though I don't see him very often... But that locket... it's his... keep it close to your heart... he knows everything about you, and he knows how you feel and everything. He wanted me to look out for you, and keep you safe..." Troy paused for a reaction.Sharpey showed so much emotion at once. For so many years she had thought her father did not care for her, or did not want her. She had thought he preferred her dead, but she had been wrong. And he wanted Troy to keep her safe. One golden blue tear ran down Sharpey's soft cheek. "Keep me safe Troy?" Sharpey replied faintly..Troy noticed she was crying in emotion he sat beside her and put his arms around her. "Yes your father wants to make sure no teachers or students gives you a hard time or something else... He couldn't contact you because it was too dangerous and your his prize jewel... That's why he told me to look out for you because you are soo special. And I can honestly see that..." Troy holded Sharpey tight and whispered in her ear, "I will never let anything hurt you," Something that Sharpey had been longing to hear for sure a long time had just been spoken. She holded tightly to Troy and spoke again, "Troy, Please take me to my father." It was just once she had said that Sharpey realized she could not say the exacted words she had wanted to say, so she place her hand beside his.Troy took his right hand and touched Sharpey's chin and brought her head up so he could look into her eyes. "I will take you any where you want to go... just tell me when." Sharpey took hold of Troys left hand and gently wrapped her arms around him. Her mind was whirring, they had only know each other, what, an hour! Whirlwind feelings! She took some time thinking and then spoke once more, "I want to see my father and talk to him, but I don't think I can. And I want you". She came out with. She knew she might sound stupid, but she talked from her heart..Troy looked at her, and held her closer to her, "Ok I will take you to him and you can talk... when you are ready I will take you to him... and know this..." Troy leaned closer to her, "I will never leave your side." "Promise? I'll never leave your side too babey". Was the few simple word Sharpey spoke. "Promise." Troy thought that Sharpey looked a little worn out from her adventure, looking out the corner of his eye, he spotted a bed, "Go to sleep, you've had enough excitement for one day..." Troy got off of the couch and picked Sharpey up and laid her down gently on the bed then went on the other side, and laid next to her not going asleep just watching her making sure nothing would harm her, Troy kissed Sharpey on the forehead and put an extra blanket on her and let her fall asleep. Feeling Troy kiss her in the forehead made Sharpey the happiest she had been for as long as she could remember. She wanted to tell Troy that but it just seem a dream, no body had ever cared or wanted for her, and she had never felt like this towards anyone before. She did not want to wreck it with a single word, she felt fragile, but knew she had to stay strong. For her and Troy. Remembering back to what she heard him say earlier, 'He loved back in the day he never will do it again, so now he just likes to flirt' Her mind whirled as she fell asleep.Troy woke up and saw it was morning, he left Sharpey a note saying that he'd be right back in a bit, and not to worry. He left the bed and went to get some breakfast for Sharpey and himself, and maybe stop and get a little something for Sharpey. As he was walking he bumped into his ex, the first girl he ever truly loved, who he found out cheated on him with some sum bag named Raistilin. He just past her by, and remembered some old things, but then those memories changes... It was not his ex girlfriend who was standing with him on the beach, or anything it was Sharpey. He knew he had finally after a long time, felt nothing for his ex. Opening her eyes quickly, they darted around the room to find it empty, except for her. Laid on the bed next to her was a scruffy written note, reading it a smile kept across her face. It had not been a dream, she thought. Getting up (after brushing her hair and reapplying making up) she left the room and entered the front of the shop where she met Fred preparing to open up. "Good morning Fred. Thanks for letting me use the room last night, If Troy comes back can you tell him I got his note and will be back as soon as possible?" And with that Sharpey skipped off onto the dusty path outside.. Walking into the sunlight she bumped into a pretty girl, "Oh, dear me, I am sorry, please let me pick your things up" Sharpey said, "Nice meet you, I'm Sharpey." The girl replied back nicely to her, telling her that she was Brittany. "That's a nice name, Anyway I must go, I am on my way to see somebody, bye" Sharpey answered politely and made off in the other direction. Troy walked back into the shop and the Polio twins told him that Sharpey had left, his heart sank... but they told him that she'd be back soon. "Ok thank guys," Troy thanked them and went into the back getting everything set up for a surprise...Later on Sharpey walked back into the joke shop with a smug look on her face. She had just got 5 days off school so she could visit her father. Of course she had to lie to get the days off, but it WAS important. Seeing George staring at her, Sharpey Said, "I'm sorry have I done anything wrong?" For a second she thought he knew and her father. "No not at all, just that Troy says we have got to keep you in the front for as long at possible. May I take a look at that locket in your hand", Fred said.. Troy came out of the back, and noticed what Fred had just said, "Oh your back why don't you come with me?" Troy walked over to Sharpey and snatched her quickly away from Fred so he couldn't see what was on her locket. Troy looked at her and said "You need to be more careful, we don't want people to see that. Luckily I have some tricks up my sleeve.." Troy took Sharpey back to the door. He then took her inside and hits down on the bed with her. "I have something for you..." Sharpey hits down on the bed with the person she loved and after hearing his words her mind went blank. "And what would that be" She said holding onto his hand.Troy looked at her, and said, "Well there are many parts of this surprise. First off I talked to your father…" After saying this Sharpey's eyes lit up and Troy continued, "He said he's met us at Godric's Hollow In a day's time. He also wanted me to ensure him that you are perfectly alright and are unharmed. He is eager to see you. He's been watching you from afar for so long… also I know you never had the chance to have a pet growing up, the people who you lived with didn't approve. So umm well… look over there in the corner lift up the golden cloak and well you'll see…" Troy saying this pointing over to the corner of the room a head of them... Slowly letting go of Troy's hand, Sharpey got off the bed and walked to the corner, lifting off the golden cloak, there standing in front of her was a small box tied with a pink bow. Lifting up the lid she heard something Meow. Turning back to Troy she spoke ever so softly, " Babey you didn't have to do all this for me, its amazing, your amazing she said" Delving into her pocket and taking out the locket once more she want back over to the back with the girl thingy cat in pursuit. "I want you to have this, as a token of my..My love for you" She whispered, placing the locket in his hand. Troy smiled to think that she loved his gift to her... "Oh thank you Sharpey" Troy smiled and kissed Sharpey on the cheek, he didn't want to kiss her on the mouth quite yet... he wants to wait till a really special time... to make it simply magical for her...He reached back behind the bed and got another big box out... in it there was some toys for the new kitten but there was a smaller bag... He handed it to A smiling Sharpey, "Here umm this is for you..." Troy had given her an expensive turquoise ring that was perfect in every way just like Sharpey.She started to blush. Troy had got her so many perfect gives, but yet she had not thought to get him anything. Looking at the ring in his hands Sharpey said, "Its beautiful, Just like you, Troy, Beautiful at the heart. And the outside" She added the last part cheekily. Troy kissed Sharpey on the cheek then got off the bed, picked up the new kitten and said, "So what shall this little gal be called?" Troy got a play toy out and started to play with the kitten. Sharpey watched on as Troy played with the kitten, "I like the name Ella" Sharpey replied to his question, "It reminds me of a fairytale princess". Bending down she started to play with Ella too. Troy continued to play with Ella. "Ella it is then." After playing with the new kitten for a while, Troy felt a pain on his arm then his head... He tried to not let Sharpey notice what is happening. After a bit luckily the pain stopped and Troy, calmly still in a bit of pain asks, "Do you think you'll be prepared to see your father tonight?" "Tonight?" Sharpey replied, It was all a bit soon. She did not even know what to say to him. "I think I will, But Troy" Sharpey carried on, "He will be okkay with both of us going, wont he?". Troy looked at Sharpey and knew she was scared to see her father for the first time in 13 some years. "Sharpey, he wants both us of to come... when your ready... if you still need some more time, we can wait... I know you've probably been waiting to see him, or actually dreading to see him, and probably very scared but I'll be with you every step of the way." Troy took Sharpey's cold hand and put them in his and tried to warm them up. "I'll be ready to speak to him, if your there and safe too Troy" Sharpey spoke calmly. "I have been waiting a long time to see my father, but I know what he is capable of, all the bad things he has done and destroyed. You looked scared just now when I mentioned his name, like some kind of pain soaring though you. I thought it looked liked" Sharpey said.
Troy looked embarrassed that Sharpey had seen him when he was being called by her father. He took lifted his shirt up and on the top of his left shoulder was a mark. It wasn't the a tattoo or a birth mark, it was a different one. "See this," Troy said to Sharpey, "This was from your father, it lets me know when he wants something or ..." Troy drifted off, Sharpey didn't need to know such things... it wasn't her place to know. "Your father is a very powerful man, My father and I are honored to serve him." Troy then took off his shirt completely. This reveled all of the cuts and bruises and other various marks he had gotten while serving Sharpey's father, "All of these were from protecting you or your father. They don't hurt so much any more. But it is worth it all..." Troy puts the shirt he was wearing back on so all of the scars disappeared. "I shouldn't have shown you that... it wasn't my place." Troy stood up and walked over to the table and started to munch on some food. He didn't want to look at Sharpey and see her reaction...he couldn't tell what it was...
A/N: I decided to leave it there for today;Mwhaha I'm evil, I know! Just what will her reaction be? And stillwho is her father, other than a powerful man everyone is afraid of? Stay tuned to find out!
