I was right, my father didn't take hearing about the events that had occurred while he had been daggered. He had ordered me to go to his apartment and wait for him; informing me that I was grounded. I had tried to argue with him, but quickly figured out he wasn't going to take no for an answer.

"But Dad!"

"No. You're a danger magnet and if grounding you keeps you safe, so be it."

I pouted but did as he asked, I knew I could just leave but I didn't want to. I had only just begun to get to know my father, and I wasn't going to jeopardize that right now. So I found myself in my father's apartment, waiting for him to finish up with Elena and return home.

I pulled out my phone and dialed Niklaus, "Hi Uncle Nik." I spoke into the phone.

"Hello love, where are you?"

"I got a call from Elena this morning. Turns out I was right, she undaggered my father."

"Of course she did."

I nodded even though I knew he couldn't see it. "Thing is, he found out everything that happened since he was daggered and grounded me."

Niklaus laughed, "Like that will last."

I smirked and shrugged my shoulders, "Yes, well, I just got him in my life; so I'm going to play along. I just didn't want you to worry about where I was."

"Of course." Niklaus told me, you could almost hear his smirk as he replied.

I rolled my eyes, "Anyway, I've got a book calling my name. Anything to pass the time waiting for dad to get home."

Niklaus bid me goodbye and hung up, while I looked for my book, which I finally found under my bed. As I picked up my book written in parseltongue I was reminded of what I had read when I first got the book, about my grandmother having an affair with Slytherin. I was bored and wanted to confirm it was true so I started a shopping list for the ingredients I needed to make a heritage potion.

My list was complete by the time my father got home, I set the list aside and went to greet him.

"Hello Dad," I said walking into the kitchen where I found my father retrieving a blood bag from the fridge.

Elijah smiled at me as turned to face me, "Hello love."

"Will you grab one for me too, please?" I asked him as I sat down at the kitchen counter.

He complied and grabbed another blood bag, "Heated or as is?"

I thought for a second, "I wouldn't mind heated if it isn't too much of a bother."

Elijah smirked at me, "For you no, for Niklaus definitely."

I laughed, "I've missed you, dad."

He walked over and kissed my forehead, "I missed you too, love."

My father took the blood bags and poured them into a mug. He heated the mugs in the microwave and handed one to me.

"How long am I grounded for?" I asked him.

He looked at me and shrugged, "At least until the ritual is over with then we'll revisit the subject."

"So, until tomorrow night?" I replied.

Elijah made a noncommittal grunt and finished his blood. "Bedtime," he said making it more of a command then a suggestion.

I sighed, but finished my blood and complied, it really wasn't worth an argument. Besides I didn't want to argue with him when I just got him back. I just hoped that everything would go well the next day, but that was probably asking for too mach.
