I awoke in a strange bed wearing strange clothes in strange room with a strange old lady.
" the princess wakes "
Stay back or I will smother you with this pillow old timer
Relax dear I Am Lady Martha Laurel attendant to Grim-sheaf townhouse the First hearth of the children of Daniel.
I sat up straining my body, my lower extremities felt like they were on fire
"Don't strain your self dear your wound is still closing up"
Wound??? what wound ??? Oh no...
I checked my self frantically hoping that last night's ordeal was a dream and sure enough I found two scarry depressions, one on my areola and one on the lower left part of my chest no band-aid though.
''You healed up last night, brightened up the room like fireflies in August".
Healed ?? are you telling me that i survived two a gunshot wound without medical attention.
"Well yes dear didn't you father tell you"
Tell me what ?? he disappeared 15 years ago, the bastard didn't even come back I felt angry again I didn't like the dad topic the man was the reason for my suffering the reason why mom was never happy most of the time.
"Am sorry to hear that dear but he his..."
The door swung open and the stranger from last night stepped through, wearing PJs and a comfy robe.
"Martha give us a moment "
you can't just barge into places without knocking Dan this isn't the stone age
Daniel: sorry... Martha.
Daniel turned around as I covered my self with the blanket.
" careful with this one she has your temper " grumbled Martha walking out the room with her cane complaining all the way.
Forgive her.. old age really got to her, I should really get a newer caretaker for this place spoke Daniel as he sat down. I pulled my self away from him taking the blanket with me like a scared deer.
Who are you really and why did you bring me here??
Daniel gave me sincere look pulling out two old photographs from his wallet, I saw mom and Daniel in them, mom looked younger with longer hair standing in the middle of the desert somewhere, in the second one of mom holding a baby Dan standing right next to her infront of the pyramids of Aegypthia.
Daniel: Zoe I am your father... I know it comes as surprise not having seen me but...
My heart skipped a beat when he spoke was he really telling the truth was he really my father, I didn't know how to react to this or feel, I felt numb and a tightening in my chest like my air ways had become constricted.
Daniel: You must understand I had to stay away from you and Esmeralda to protect you from the first path...
"PROTECT !!!!!protect !!! Is that all you have to say, so casually even, YOU ARE A COWARD!!! you didn't care about me, you never loved her !!!!, You disappeared without a trace and now you come back with this bullshit story about protect!!!! .
I was practically yelling at Daniel now who seemed very calm dispite the situation, he didn't even show emotion it like he had this conversation countless times before. You know she is sick right, she is dying and you didn't even bother to visit her what kind of monster does that.
Daniel: Zoe am sorry but you don't understand I love both you and your mother so much, you were my world I, got caught up in and attached, too attached, I couldn't bear to see the First Path take you from me it's why I been away fighting, making the world safe for you.
Safer!!! I need you to be around, she needed you!!! but you went there, do you know the last thing she said to me before she went under, she mentioned you of all people you....you !!!.
Zoe calm down
I hate you !!!! I hate you !!! So much !!!! I hate you You Daniel !!!
The room seemed to rumble the lights dimming as Dan hugged me, it was like years of burdens and anger just melted away just like that as Dan apologizes " am sorry I left you am sorry I caused you such grief" .
I stopped listening as last night events came back the shoot out...Derek lying lifeless on the floor ....my head hurt..
You know what I got to go Mr Daniel or whoever you are unlike you I got problems of my own in case you haven't noticed.
Daniel: Zoe you don't understand, you can't leave, those people will find you again and they will kill you.
I can take care of my self, been doing it for 15 years so... bye...
I walked out of the room into the corridor of the townhouse, which was larger than I had expected. On the walls were assortment of artifacts and collectors items, old timey guns and swords, oil paintings and epigies. One wall had a framed old grey photos from the 1800 with Daniel in them.
There was one of him on a horseback with what looks like a Posey or gang beside him with guns held up. The creme de la creme a large oil painting of a woman who looked eerily similar to my mom but in Victorian-era style with Daniel standing next to her.
Martha - leaving so soon, dear its nearly tea time
Sorry Martha, I got to go I need sometime to process all this
Well you can't go out in a nightdress darling there is a wardrobe down the corridor to your right should be clothes from this century there.
I was so frustrated that I couldn't think straight, yesterday's events and today news were just too much to take in, the wardrobe was a walking in and as big as my room back at the apartment, there were clothes there for various sizes and design unigender, it was like store most if not all of the clothes were new, folded carefully in labeled shelves
In the corners were boxes filled with every brand of shoes you can think of ranging from high top sneakers, leather boots, stilettos, wedges, and pumps all tied into pairs.
Martha: find anything decent to wear in there, sweety
Yeah I'll be right out
A pair of Pumps, yoga pants, a blue blouse complemented with a leather jacket, I adjusted my self in the mirror before exiting the wardrobe, Daniel was on the phone in the other room with his back turned from me so I easily snuck past. Reaching down the stairs I found Martha dusting the furniture in the living room with a lunch box and a can of juice lined up on a table.
Martha: I packed lunch for you dear lord knows you must be starving
Thank you very much, Martha
Martha: dear do find it in your heart to forgive your father, he has the best interest for you at heart.
Well, he has a funny way of showing it.
Martha words stuck as I walked onto the porch, I thought back about Daniel said , what if he right I mean why would anyone shoot up a coffee or attempt to kidnap me , I wasn't famous or anything. Dan tapped me on the shoulder bringing me out of thought" if you do this there will be no coming back ,I will not be able to come save you if you walk out that door."
Goodbye Daniel.
Walking onto the street I realized that I was at the north end section of the city where the high-end suburbs were, Checking my pocket to feel for my phone and car keys which I realized were back at the cafe which was now probably swarming with cops.
I couldn't call a Zoomer or catch a bus so I hooffed it a few blocks before Daniel's droptop pulled up driving slowy next to me." I know we started up on the wrong foot but I can give you a ride to the hospital."
Go away or I will scream !!
He stopped the car and got out rushing up to me "you are being stubborn and reckless exposing your self out here to danger, if you could just listen I could tell... !!!"
Pew!!!!!!!
There was a spray of blood and half Daniel face was gone, he fell over in heap to the ground as the white van from last night drove up, Two-men jumped out rushing me"Get her before he regenerates shouted the driver".
I ran for it sprinting up the street going as fast my legs could carry me, my assailants were in tow I couldn't shake them turning a corner, I ran right into the stock of a rifle."Where do you think you are going little girl, the boss wants your blood"
You are were dead how did you ??
" I got better see, you daddy didn't tell you what we really are did he " groaned scarface revealing his wounds from last night all healed up " you got away once not this time."
I wasn't going to go quietly , I kicked squirmed to get lose, scar face laughing at my pitiful attempt at defense ''You should have listened to daddy little girl ''
Daniel was right and now he was dead because of me, I don't know where I got the energy but I fought harder than I did before kicking screaming I even bit into scarface's ear ripping it off, he responded by throwing me down, growling angrily as he held the remainder of his wounded ear whilst I spit out the other piece smiling smugly...
you little bitch !!!!!...
Pulling out a golden pistol scar face aimed it directly at my head" its shame dad wants you alive but not intact" he lowered his aim shooting me in the shoulder laughing as winced through the searing pain " am going to enjoy breaking once father is done draining you, we are going to have so much fun "
The screeching sound of tires and loud crash echoed through the street, as I looked up seeing Daniel's Convertible crashed into the white van. The collision had moved the van onto the street pining scar face guy under it with the occupants still disoriented, Daniel stepped out of the convertible, he was alive with a small hole on his forehead which was sealing up with light.
"You know I could just leave here if you want "
How?? ....How are you alive ??
"Get in I will tell you on the way"
Daniel put the old jilapi in reverse and then forward we fled the scene as people ran up to see what was going on we were long gone before the cops had arrived.
I had my hand at my shoulder the whole time afraid to look at the nasty hole " I told you there are people out there gunning for, show me ".
There was nothing about the shoulder no blood or wound just a small scar that was visibly fading away like magic " you can regenerate just like me ".
Human being to regenerate we don't heal from headshots, what exactly are you Daniel ??? cause I saw you head pop no one and I mean no one could survive that.
" I am immortal being called a primodial, this form you see it's just a mortal representation of my being and you are in essence apart of me Zoe de blanc "
I laughed histericly seeing Dan's face remain serious as he drove not even looking at the road.
Wait you are serious !!!
" it's hard to grasp but allow me to literate " Dan tapped my forehead transfering some of his memories, safe to say I wasn't ready for what I saw.

That however is only fraction of his very being, Cain-al is multifaceted literal a balance of the two universal forces embodying the masculine aspect much like ANU-Al . CAIN-AL is halved which diminishes his abilities weakening his manifestation which helps keep his power in check. The other half of this entity is whole other primordial, Ezu-al also know as the the immortal woman she is sorta psuedo sibling sharing the other half of Cain-al power ebomdinend the femine aspect of humanity much like a woman balances a man so to does Ezu-al balance Cain-al the two who are one.

CHILDREN
Daniel is by the far the only primordial entity with a lot of decedents being the shepherd humanity has resulted in the birth of many semi primordial offspring from pairing with various mortal women which may have hampered or helped humani develop ranging from legendary heroes to villains in history. Most of Daniel children have latent abilities which can be considered superhuman if honed.
Semi primodial may have abilities ranging from
super human /stamina/strength/durability/endurance/reflexes/speed
Longevity.
Most if not all have an extremely high aggressive index due large basal ganglia and amygdala resulting in many of the immortal man's children been considered clinically insane in most instances as their violent tendencies usually results in incidences. The have been a few of Daniels descendants over the years which has inherited the latter primordial abilities ranging from regeneration,soul manipulation and shape shifting, mysticism and transcendence.
Anomaly #000-125 also know as Zoe being the most recent .Her regenerative abilities have allowed the girl to survive fatal wounds.
Ezu-al is however unable to successfully procreate with mortals due to her higher standing her immortal body is too out sync with human biology resulting in partners being destroyed during copulation. She can also initiate pathonogenesis with female mates resulting in immaculate conception though offspring born this way are either hideously deformed or too chaotic or to exist long before burning out.
Cain-al and Ezu-al can successfuly procreate but choose not to due to the strict rules regarding primordial conception set aside to prevent devastation as infant primordials are notoriously destructive and unstoppable.
