So sorry it took me so long. It is the school holidays and my laptop is still not back. I am borrowing my sisters at the moment, so I can't promise posting quickly.
Chapter 2: Doughnuts.
"What do you want to know first?" Asked Abe, giving me a small smile.
"What am I?" I said straight away.
"You're a werewolf, a creature born from one of two families of the night. The gene was passed down from your father." He explained.
"And how the hell do you know that," I growled. As soon as the sound left my mouth I knew it sounded inhuman, making what he was saying all the more real.
"Because eighteen years also I had fallen in love with a damper girl name Janie Hathaway. We were together for a year before she left. Not knowing that she was pregnant with my child." He said sadly.
I sat there in silence, my mind working a mile a minute. If he got my mother pregnant that would mean that he was...
"So that means that you're my father?" I said out loud.
"No," he said sarcastically "you are the next Jesus. "The two men on either side of him started to laugh.
I now know where my sarcastic behaviour comes from, I thought to myself.
Then a thought came in my head, one I didn't know the answer to, but something I have thought about since I was four years old. I stood up and walked over to Abe until I was leaning over him. Alec gave me a strange look while the other guy just moved away from me.
"So why did you wait eighteen fucking years to come see me," I growled. I watched as his face changed and took on a look of sadness.
"I didn't know that you were even born until the incident with Dimitri Belikov," my heart broke a little when Abe said HIS name, "When the last name Hathaway came up I thought it was your mother, but when I went to court- I saw your mother in the church. When she called you her daughter I knew straight away that you were mine. I went to your room to tell you who I was but I guess I was too late." He said sadly.
"What happened after that" I asked softly, sitting back down
"I tried searching for you, I put out a police scan for the car you stole and the number plates but you had already gotten rid of it. I didn't find you until the alchemists gave me a call saying that a large number of Stigoi had been killed in the area that I had found you. I came straight to New York and found you in the ally."
Abe finished talking and stood up; he came over to me and sat down on the couch, his body facing my direction. I felt his large warm hands grab a hold of mine. It felt so natural that I didn't pull away.
"Rose I know it is hard for you to accept me as your father, but know that I am not letting you go. You are my little girl and I don't want to lose you." He whispered. I saw as the man I just meet, start to cry. The tears that now ran down his face dripped of his chin and onto our intertwined hands.
I felt my cold, glass heart shatter and all the feeling that I have keep hidden flowed out. I felt the tears run down my face and drip of my chin adding to the tears that my father had already shed.
"Oh Rose…" My father said.
I felt his arms wrap around my body pulling me against his chest, the smell of wood and sunshine filled my nose.
I don't know how long I cried for or how long my father held me but soon a knock sounded on the bedroom door. I heard some shuffling then the sound of the door opening. I turned my head to the side so I was looking over Abe's shoulder.
An old women who had short grey hair and big brown eyes hidden behind glasses, walked in. She was pushing a trolley filled with food; there were so many different things but then I spotted something. My eyes instantly went to the huge pile of chocolate glazed doughnut with powdered sugar. I felt my mouth water at the thought of taking a bite of that heavenly food.
"Doughnuts!" Abe, Alec and the other man yelled.
I watched as Alec ran over to the trolley and tried to grab one, but the women pulled out a wooden spoon from her apron and wacked his hand before he could grab one. I felt Abe start to shake, no doubt laughing at Alec.
"Alec," The women scolded. "These are not for you."
"But…" Alec said, his voice reminding me of a child that tries to convince their parents for something.
"No buts Alec. You can wait till after tea. And that goes for you too Abe and Isaac." She lectured.
Ha! I thought as I finally found out the name of the big, blue eyed man. Then I realized that the women had brought the doughnuts for me.
"Rose, I would like you to meet my mother Helen. Helen this is my beautiful daughter Rosemarie Hathaway." Abe introduced us.
I felt the couch dip on the other side of me as Helen sat down.
"Just when I thought I was too old to have a family, you were brought into my life." Helen whispered as she pulled me against her, one arm around my waist and the other on the back of my neck. I was stiff for a moment, and then I felt myself relax. I wrapped my arms around her waist and put my head on her shoulder. Like Abe she smelt like sunshine but also like freshly baked bread.
"I see you there Isaac. One more step and you won't get desert for a week." I heard her threaten.
"Son, be a dear and go grab some doughnuts for dear Rosie." Helen said to Abe.
I heard some shuffling then the sweet smell of freshly cooked doughnuts filled my nose. I turned around and saw that Abe…I mean dad, had the plate sitting on his lap and was holding the doughnut up for me. I slowly took the doughnut out of his hand, and then proceeded to take a bite. The first thing I tasted was the sweet chocolate, after that I inhaled the thing so fast that I couldn't taste anything else.
"So have you explained everything yet, son?" Helen asked.
"Not yet," Dad replied, sitting the plate of doughnuts on the table. I watched as Dad slid them across the coffee table towards Isaac and Alec. In less than 10 seconds they had completely eaten all twenty something of them.
"So I guess I should tell you that all Werewolf's live in packs, and all packs are ruled by an Alpha. I am the Alpha of the last Turkish pack but I am also the king of all werewolves' because of the council of Alpha's. This makes you the princess and soul heir to the Mazur name. The fact that you are female will mean that many wolves will be trying to win your affection." Abe explained.
The thought of me being a princess made me want to laugh, but for once I knew this is not the right time for it.
"There is another thing you should know," Abe said. "Because your mother was part vampire there is a great chance that you will be able to use all the elements."
"Oh," was my only reply.
"I think this is enough for one day," Helen sighed. "Why don't we go have some tea? I just cooked roast pork and roasted apples."
"Thank you, Helen" I said, giving her a warm smile.
"Please call me nanna." Helen said pulling me into a hug.
"OK…Nanna." I laughed.
For once I finally felt like I had a true family.
…..
After dinner with Dad, nanna, Alec and Isaac; I went back to the room which Dad said he had down for me four months ago. I was sitting on the coach, in my Pjs, watching some show called The vampire diaries, when there was a knock on the door. I jumped off the coach and opened the door. Alec and Isaac were standing outside my door wearing Pjs and holding a huge bowl of popcorn and a stack of movies.
"We thought that you might want some company," Isaac explained. I gave them a small smile and told them to come in.
"I have Inception, Hansel and Gretel: which hunters, Django unchained, the Avengers and Identity thief. What would you like to watch?" Isaac asked.
I thought for a moment, and then I had an awesome Idea. "Why don't we watch them all?" I asked a small smile on my face.
Alec and Isaac looked at each other and for a moment I thought they were going to tell me to pick one when a huge smile broke across both their faces.
"I have a feeling that we are going to get along just fine." Alec said as he put Hansel and Gretel: which hunters into the DVD player. I sat down on the coach with Alec and Isaac on either side of me. We had a giant blanket that was big enough for the three of us.
For the next eleven hours we watched all five movies plus stole most of nanna's cookies, éclairs and doughnuts. By the time we had finished it was already 9am the next day. Alec turned the TV of and started to clean up, when my bedroom door opened and nanna stormed in.
"It seems that all my cooking is gone. You wouldn't know where that would be, would you?" she said raising one eyebrow. I looked at both Isaac and Alec, who had chocolate all around their faces.
"Umm I think I saw Abe take them." Alec said.
"Alec…" she sighed."If you are going to act like a turd, the least you could do is go lie in the yard." She smirked.
I couldn't help it but I started laughing at the thought of him actually doing that.
"If I had of known that grandchildren were this fun, I would have had them first." She said coming up and giving me a hug.
…..
It has been a month that I have been living with my dad and things have been great. Alec and Isaac were like brothers to me and nanna was always cooking me sweets. They all knew about me and Dimitri, and everything that happened to me. Sometimes at night I would wake up crying and nanna would be sitting beside me calming me down. Her favourite saying was "sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory."
Dad makes me take many different classes like language, werewolf history and magic and fighting training. Dad was indeed right; I could control all the elements. And it was so fun. I would always be using it to annoy Alec and Isaac. But they got me back by stealing my deserts.
Life was great but it wasn't perfect and only one person…one man could make it perfect. But he no longer loved me.
…..
Dimitri's Pov
…..
I was sitting at the small table in my room, pushing the food on my plate around. I never could eat these days, the guilt was too great. I heard a knock on my bedroom door. I sighed and dumped my tea in the sink and opened the door. Standing there was Vasilisa Dragomir.
"Hello, how are yo…" I didn't finish because she interrupted me with something that I have been waiting for, for over five months.
"We have something!" she rushed.
We rushed to her room where everyone was waiting.
"What have we got?" I demanded.
Adrian had a remote in his hand, pushing a button the TV came on. The camera view was of a movie theatre. There was no one around but then the doors open and a group of people walked out. There were three men one around the age of forty; the other two were around the eighteen. There was also an old lady, who had her arms wrapped around the women I loved.
"Roza…"
Thanks for reading!
