Chapter 15
Dear Old Dad
Sapphire's POV
I was running, as I looked over my shoulder I saw that a man was chasing me. I screamed and toppled to the ground watching as the man grabbed hold of my neck and shook me. I struggled, losing conciseness and suffocating. I felt my eyes get wet with tears as I saw stars. I looked into the man's eyes and recognized them, as my fathers.
I glanced behind him to see my mother standing there with a crossbow. "Let go of her, Matthew." She told him firmly and he let go as an arrow pierced though his heart. I crumpled to the ground and my mother knelt down and held my head to her chest. "He's coming for blood." She whispered and disappeared from me. leaving me lying in the garden. Then the dream disappeared.
I woke up to shaking and looked up to see Jonathon kneeling beside me shaking my shoulders. I must have screamed. "Sapphire? Sapphire are you okay?" he asked franticly searching my eyes. I tried to smile, but it turned to tears. He grabbed me and held me to him, while he rocked me back and forth.
"What happened?" he asked me. I debated on telling him, but decided it was for the best. "It's my dear old dad, he's decided to make a grand appearance." I told him sarcastically. Jonathon's face was a mix of anger and sadness because he knew what my father did to me. I sat up and checked the time, it read 10:00 am. Then I got up and walked to see if Helen was up.
At first, Helen hated the idea that was Jonathon Christopher Morganstern. Slowly over time that hate increased, but when he saved me she slowly became okay with him. Thanks to that grand save, he now stays with us to keep me safe incase his father comes back.
"Where's Jonny Boy?" asked Helen using the nickname she gave him. He hated it, and Helen knew that so she used it everytime she could. "I'm right here" Jonathon called, making himself known. "I gotta call today, telling me that your dad was coming" she said while referring to my dad. "Jonathon looked at me, wondering how I knew he was coming.
"I'm leaving to spend the night with Aline, so do me a favor and give him my best." She said, knowing how much hell he put me through as a child. I nodded and she left like that, closing the door behind her.
About an hour later the doorbell rang, and I got up to get it. There stood my father, dressed in his usual jeans and Harley shirt. "Matthew." I breathed and he pushed me aside and walked in. I was glad Jonathon was in the shower right now or he'd have punched my father right then and there.
"I've caught word that you were with child." He said in a very elegant voice. "I am, now let's save some time. Why are you really here? It's not everyday I hear from you." I told him in the sternest voice I could. "Alright then, Who is the father Sapphire? And I need that ring back." "The father is Jonathon Morganstern, and that ring is not yours, its mine." I spit back. "Give me the ring now or you'll be sorry." He said standing up. "No" I told him and he lunged to get it. I snatched my hand away and stood up to run but not before he pushed me against the wall. I heard running and Jonathon emerged into the living room. Matthew obviously didn't see him and he made the mistake of picking me up by the throat just like in my dream.
I scratched at his fingers as he shook me against the wall. I saw Jonathon behind him with a knife in hand. I was seeing stars now, they were whispering to me, telling me how nice it would be to fly away with them. Slowly I agreed to follow them, but when I heard Jonathon yell my name, an extra feeling snaped in me and I jumped up, feeling my ring burn with the excitement. Jonathon slid the knife to me and I pushed Matthew off of him. I pinned him against the wall, wondering where all this strength came from. "if you ever come near me again, I will not hesitate to cut your throat open, I will not let you do what you did to mother and me happen again. And If you see Valentine, tell him to stay away. I hate you and I always have. Now leave quietly and never speak a word of this again." I told him with all the rage in my body. "Just like your mother, I hope you die like she did. Crazy and out of mind." He spit and then left, slamming the door behind him.
I dropped the knife and fell to the floor. Jonathon slid to his knees to eye level with me and tilted my head up. "Your amazing, you know that? I love you so much." He smiled and kissed my forehead. I embraced him in a hug."Maybe a movie might calm down the excitement. I mean both fathers have come trying to kill us." I mumbled against his chest and he laughed before carring me to the couch to watch a movie.
The excitement has just begun! Review please! Thanks guys! –write and read forever
