-Paul's P.O.V-
High pitched cries caught my attention coming from inside the cave. Me and Marko had just returned from our feed, leaving everyone else who had already fed earlier behind. We exchanged a troubled look before turning to see Dwayne emerge from the caves opening.
"You'd better get in there" Dwayne's expression said it all. I pushed past him and hurried into the cave.
"Who do you think you are?"
Lauren and David were nose to nose. Screaming back and forth at each other. I starred at them both, perplexed. Sienna bolted over to me, clinging onto my leg, hiding behind it. I bent down to her height, asking her what had happened; wiping away her tears as I did so, but they continued to fall. All she could do was gesture towards David in response.
"We left you guys for 20 minutes, what's all the commotion?" Marko asked from beside me.
"This piece of shit put his hands on Sienna!" Lauren spat
"What do you mean he put his hands on Sienna?" Lauren marched over to us, lifted Sienna's top and pulled her jeans down slightly for me to see. I was met with the biggest hand mark. I saw red.
Without thinking, I let out a growl and flew towards David, tackling him to the ground. Never would I have dreamed of putting my hands on David, but this was different. I wanted to kill him. I repeatedly began to punch him, hitting wherever I could. His face being my main target. But of course, he fought back sending us both into an all out brawl.
"Paul, David stop it!" Lauren let out a scream. Marko and Dwayne came running towards us. While Dwayne attempted to reach David, Marko grabbed me and attempted to pull me away. At last, they parted us.
"Don't you ever put your hands on my daughter again" I tried pushing past Marko to get to him but he had a firm grip on me.
" I caught her trying to drink from THE bottle!" David snapped, his breathing heavy.
"You had no fucking right!" I let out a cry. A frown fixed itself on my face. "We don't even hit her so why the fuck do you think you can" Glaring, I turned to see Lauren had wrapped a protective arm around Sienna.
———
"No Sienna he doesn't hate you" I reassured her, watching her play with the sand. In order to get her out of the cave and give myself time to cool off, I had decided to spend an hour with her on the beach. I was never one to get angry or lash out, I was the cool laid back one of the pack. But when it came to Sienna, I am a lion protecting its cub.
"Then why did he hit me?" She asked looking up at me.
"Because you should never have touched that bottle. It's not for you to drink out of" I sighed. "He went about it the wrong way but he was just trying to protect you"
"You got him though" a cunning smirk spread across her face. There was no doubt she had my cock ways.
"I did didn't I?" My expression matched hers, both of us sharing a laugh. "No one messes with your daddy!"
"Yeah!" She yelled giving me a high five. We sat in silence for a few seconds, staring off into the ocean.
"Daddy"
"Yeah" I turned to look face her.
"How can you fly?" My eyes widened. Oh crap!
"Because baby girl...I have superpowers" I flashed her jazz hands.
"Like a superhero?"
"That's right"
"You'll always be my superhero daddy" she tightly wrapped her arms around my waist and squeezed me. I felt a warm feeling in m undead heart.
"Shall I fly us home?" She jumped up nodding her head rapidly.
We reached the entrance of the cave, Sienna became too nervous to step in. It took me a few attempts to convince her and in the end, it worked. I took her small hand in mine and walked in, jumping off of the last rock with her. I looked around the room to see the rest sat waiting for our arrival.
"Sienna" David spoke first, no emotion in his voice. "Come here".
Sienna gazed up at me and I motioned her forward, reassuring her that she'd be ok. I took a seat next to Lauren, bringing her closer to me. Sienna slowly made her way over to David. Once she was in front of him, he took a hold of both her hands.
"I want to tell you I'm sorry sweetheart, I was wrong! I should have never struck you. I panicked because I just couldn't have you drink from the bottle because something terrible would have happened to you, and we can't have that can we?" She shook her head in response. "Do you forgive me?" I was gobsmacked. I have never seen this side of David before.
"Ummmmm" she placed her finger to her lips, thinking for a moment. "One condition!"
"What's that" David snickered.
"You have to colour with me!"
For the rest of the night, we had the pleasure of watching David colour with my perfect little angel. Now we felt like a proper family.
