Chapter 8 The only exception
Sapphire's POV
My dad? What how, why why now? He was sitting there with a smile on his face, like he did the right thing by sending me to live with these people. I make my presence an announcement by slamming my purse on the table and slamming the door. Aunt Agnus smiles lightly at me, but I don't return it.
"Sapphire, come here and see your me, we haven't seen each other in a while." Says my father standing up to give me a hug. Then he asked aunt Agnus to give us a minute and she quietly exits the kitchen.
"Maybe because you dropped me off here and left, Matthew." I say in a spiteful voice. I watch as my father shutters when I say his real name. then his face gets dark and angry.
"Well I only came here to say that I wasn't coming back here to get you. Also here" he tosses me a neatly wrapped tiny box. Then he gets up and leaves, just like that. i watch him leave, then I run to my room.
Once I get there I open the box carefully. Inside there is a note folded into a super small square. I opened it and read it carefully,
My dearest,
So you have just turned 18 haven't you? Well in this box holds my only wish for you my young adult daughter, that you may never forget where you have come. That you may never forget us, the Sheldbraves. We are the fighters, the warriors of our nation. We have fought for over a hundred centuries, and we will never stop protecting the world from vampires. Vampires are energy sucking monsters who spend their time trying to harm others by taking their enthusiasm out of life. Our job is to ether take our lives in turn of saving another's or we keep a person away from that vampire. So here I present you with this ring, it should be worn everyday. It shows vampires who you are. I know that I will die on my journey, and I only hope that you will not. I love you and wish you luck. We will be with you when you call upon us.
Love and hope,
Veronica Sheldbrave
I was shocked, but I knew that I had to be brave and face this task. My mother died trying to protect me, and the worst part was that she was trying to protect me from my father. She died a hero, and with that I will always be amazed. So I put the not down and picked up the ring. It had swords and shelds all over it. Engraved in the middle was the letters S.B.. Just to think that this ring had been in my family for centuries amazed me. I slid it onto my ring finger and felt electricity buzz into my skin. I gasp in surprise, I loved the feeling. I took the letter and tucked it away into the box and put the box under my bed. Then I silently walked downstairs and shut off the light.
Later that night I went upstairs and shut and locked the door. I headed over to my drawer trying to look for something to wear for tonight. I was looking when finally I found the perfect black dress. It was a simple black dress with spaghetti straps, the only thing out of place was that it was that it dropped in the back. The front was short. So I stripped off my clothes and put it on. It looked pretty, but formal. I liked it. I walked over to my shoe closet and found a pair of shiny black heels. The toe on them was rounded and the heel was high enough were I wouldn't have to worry about tripping. Next I did my makeup which I put on some mascara, deep brown eyeshadow and some ruby red lipstick. I did my hair up in a bun, but I left out a piece of hair on either side and curled those pieces of hair.
I heard the doorbell ring and grabbed shiny black clutch. I walked downstairs and saw Jonathon standing there in a black suit. His white hair stuck out like snow against the pitch black suit. I walked down the stairs slowly. When I reached the bottom, Jonathon bowed and kissed my hand. I blushed as he whisped "shall we?" I smiled and he lead me out the door. Leaving that house I knew one thing,
He was the only exception.
