Chapter 9 - He's back

I woke up and see Daniel sleeping in a chair in my room, I woke him up "You're finally up, I came looking for you last yesterday after I had gotten cleaned up but I got lost, I eventually found you but you were already asleep, I was hoping you were just taking a nap so I sat in the chair but I guess I fell asleep." he said tiredly "I'm sorry, I was just going to take a nap but I guess I fell asleep." he chuckles, stands and brings me in for a loving hug, as I bury my face into his shoulder smiling. We stand there for a minute until we realize that we have to get ready, so Daniel runs to his room and I start to get changed. I Find this dark purple dress with flowers at the top and put it on. A few minutes later I hear a knock at my door "Are you changed?" it was Daniel "Ya, but I'm having trouble zipping up the back." There was a few moments of silence "Do you want me to help?" I stand there sheepishly for a minute "Yes please." he comes in and shuts the door behind him, he then walks over to me and grabs the zipper he trys pulling up but it doesn't move "I think it's stuck." he keeps trying to pull on it, gently placing his warm hand on my back to keep me from moving around. It finally zips up and Daniel throws his hands up in victory as we hear a knock at the door. "Come in." the door opens and we see Cara "Someone is looking for you in the fields below, he wouldn't say who he was but he said it was important to see you." I stand there confused for a couple of seconds before Daniel speaks "I'm going with you just in case." I nod and we head down to the fields only to see my father. I land and stare at my father angrily "What do you want!" Daniel looks at me confused as to why I sounded so angry "What, aren't you happy to see your father?" Daniel immediately looks at him as if he were ready to kill. "NO! YOU LEFT ME ALONE WHEN I WAS FIVE! I HAD TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO FIND A WAY TO SURVIVE AFTER ALL OF THE FOOD IN THE HOUSE WAS GONE? ALL YOU ARE TO ME ANYMORE IS SOMEONE WHO LOVED MY MOM AND LEFT ME TO DIE WHEN SHE DIED!" he looks at me shocked that I had the guts to yell at him. "Look I'm sorry, I didn't know what I was doing then. I regret it. I regret leaving, I shouldn't have left. But I found you, the bard in the previous town had asked me to check up on you and when he described you I knew so I took the job so maybe I could apologize hoping that maybe you'd forgive me because I'm your father." Daniel steps forward standing between me and my father "Just because you are her dad doesn't mean she should forgive you! You fucking left her to die, do you really think she is going to forgive you?" he looks at Daniel with a who the hell are you look "Who are you to say anything, you aren't her? Also, who are you, her boyfriend?" Daniel chuckles menacingly "Yes I am and I know her well enough to know that she will not forgive you." I walk up to Daniel and whisper "It's fine I got this you don't have to get caught up in this." I step in front of Daniel "I will not forgive you, hell I hardly know who you are anymore so why should I?" he reaches behind him "Than I have no choice." he pulls out a dagger and throws it at me hitting me in the stomach, Daniel transforms and attacks my father until he flees, he then turns back and runs towards me and picks me up as I'm trying to put pressure on the wound so I don't bleed out. I then see Cara and Greg fly down with a couple of others with a stretcher. Daniel lays me on the stretcher and we head to the infirmary where they take out the dagger and put on loads of bandages where I was stabbed, and after a while, I fell asleep.
