The first thing I noticed was the bite marks on my daughter's neck. Despite whatever things Lily and Madeline had told me about Derek and how good he was to Sofia, he still managed to eradicate any hopes I had that their love could be real. I was livid at the thought of him once again feeding on my daughter.
"How dare you…" I hissed as I began charging toward him. "You said you wouldn't harm her…" I caught a glimpse of her wrist and saw bite marks there too. I grabbed Sofia's wrist and raised it up to him. "Is this your idea of not harming my daughter?"
Derek was unable to look me in the eye. His display of shame only served to anger me further.
"Dad…" Sofia spoke before I could once again start a tirade. "It was my idea. I offered my neck to him. Don't take your anger out on him."
I stared at her with disbelief. "Sofia… I don't understand. How could you just let him treat you this way?"
