Chapter 17 - *** hope***

*** I had left the school after receiving an anomimous message that my father was seen in cork and so I left to find him, my father has dispeared, for over 13 years now, he left 2 years after my mother's death, and has never for once returned to oveil, I was born from a pureblooded line of vampires and my mother from a direct blood line of witches, my mother was a powerful witch as her powers clearly stood out from the rest of the witches, she was a good woman though she had her issues, the war between the shapeshifters'' and other races had been going on over a thousand years and something changed fifteen years ago, a dark powerful witch had suddenly appeared, killing most powerful members of each races, the dark witch had the power to enter one's memory and twist their minds , making them go crazy in rage and when most of them recovered those who couldn't bear the weight of what they did to their family would commit suicide, as vampires our emotions were the most heightened among other races, and that was why we mostly turned it off, so that we could always think rationally.

*** Before my mother had successfully killed the dark witch, she had done alot of damages, the dark witch was trying to bring down the veil that were differentiating the living from the dead, imaging suddenly having someone you killed reappearing at your doorstep, that day was a total chaos , my mother and her coven of witches had tried bringing down the veil but the energy needed to do that was alot, dark witches could draw powers from the dead, they could draw power from living people and sacred objects which were forbidden in the original history of witches, but witches who craved for more powers deviated from the path , and began to practice the forbidden spells and nature had a way of punishing them, for the way of witches there was always a give and take, the more powerful and dangerous the spell was , the more heavy the backlash was except done in the proper ways, and soon every witch that had deviated from the path, lost their original looks, and could never be able to use the power of nature again,and the more they drew power from the dark sources the more twisted they looked.

*** My mother had died in the process of shutting down the veil, because of the amount of energy it required, and was buried in the family cemetery, and since that day my father had forbidden me from using spells, which eventually made me more vampire than witch, I had watched everything about my father change, he no longer smiled nor cared much about me, he was so angry with everyone that he was forced to turn off his emotions, which after two years he finally disappeared, his was one of the strongest vampire alive , as he had abilities that others didn't posses, which he had used successfully used making it difficult to find him, I was so surprised when I got the news that he was found here in cork .

*** It's been more than 1 week I had been searching for him , I had gone to places they were traces of him but I couldn't find him,I couldn't give up I needed to find him, vampires valued their mates more than their offspring, it was mostly the females who were more attached, most vampires would get jealous when their child was taking the attention of their mates and having more time with them, they were extremely possessive, and my father was the same way with my mother.

*** All these while I have been trying to understand the reason why my father left, was for revenge or something else, I was in one of the motels after the a very stressful day while looking for him, I had thought about Emily and how I had promised her I would be back after a week, I had missed her deary one would be surprised as to my feelings for her had already gotten this deep , but the truth was I had no control over it, the more I resisted the more I deeper it became, I would have marked her already but I knew it wasn't yet the tight time for it, she needed to be ready for this , and the fact that she was human bothered me alot, my phone suddenly rang and I looked at the strange number before picking and a tiny voice came through hello she said and I sighed out relaxing, Emily I called out, I let her ask me questions, as I only loved to listen to her voice, she had asked me about the midterm tests, silly human, the whole schooling thing was just an undercover to protect the scroll and other things, I had almost been pissed off by most of the classes, don't worry about me I said to her, and soon the call ended.

*** I knew I shouldn't have punished bella the way I did for not properly taking care of her, I had forced her to wolf out ten times during the day, It was even painful on a full moon talk more of a normal day, but I needed her to know how Emily was to me , if it wasn't for how close they had become I wouldn't mind snapping her neck into two in rage, but that would sadden my little rabbit, I doesn't even know the amount of protection I had gotten already for her, I had almost sent Klaus back mainly because of her, I didn't trust that silver of a witch, she had always been obsessing about me ,so I knew how hideous her heart was.

*** I heard the window of my motel shuffle and soon a note was flung in, I picked it up looking around to find who dropped it, and I finally knew it was a vampire as he didn't leave any trace, I opened the note to read the letter written on it, which read, stop looking for me Dante Moore, I won't have you disrupting my plans , go back to the school, you are meant to the guarding that scroll, make sure you a back before dawn tomorrow , I would come back once am done with what am doing here.

*** The only person who called me by my full name was my father, what a heartless man , he knew all these while that I had been searching for him, yet he made no effort to meet me, but still he was right about leaving the school, if those shapeshifters that infiltrated the school, that I hadn't yet sniffed out found out I had left for quite a long distance, they wouldn't waste time before making their move, I had to return back anyways.

*** I packed up the next morning, wrote a reply and left it on the table inside motel room, I knew him to send someone to inspect here once I was gone, I left cork immediately as I wanted to reach oveil before it got dark.
