Margareta
Originally, I had no intention of doing my mother any 'favors', then she explained what I would need to do and I got an idea.
I was to go to Rodrick's house and create a distraction by announcing my existence, then send her a text telling her it was safe to attack.
I went to Rodrick's house at exactly midnight, when they are infamous for having their parties. The house was lit up and there was jazz music pouring out of every window. I love jazz. I went up to the door and raised my fist to knock, but lowered it when I caught a glimpse through the window. Everyone in there was dressed up in suits and gowns, I had worn ripped blue jeans and my old leather jacket, the most care I had put into my outfit was putting on the necklace that Jane gave me to prove that I was, in fact, his daughter.
I shook off the feeling and flung the doors open, the entire party stopped to look at me after my dramatic entrance. A man with unruly black hair and brown eyes like mine stepped forward.
"May I help you, miss?"
I looked at my father for the first time ever. I suppose that if he were a girl then he would look like me, we had the same hair, eyes, chin, mouth and jaws. The only differences were our heights, as he was a good 4 inches taller than me.
"Are you Rodrick Colton?"
"Yes," he smiled," And who might you be?"
"Your daughter."
The entire audience gasped. Rodrick's face fell as he took in what I said but then lit up again.
"That's impossible, I haven't been with anyone fertile since-"
"Jane Delany," I finished for him," My mother. She gave me this to prove myself to you."
I took off the necklace and handed it to him. It was a locket, I knew that much but it has a secret way to open it so I couldn't know what was in it. It must have been something important though because Rodrick started to shake when he opened it. Then he rushed over and wrapped me up in a big hug, pulling back only to look at me.
"How?"
"My mother gave birth to me after you changed her, she left me at a nunnery and took off. About 20 years ago she started to visit me, that's how I came to know why I was so different then others," I looked down and felt a tear sneak out of my eye," I felt so alone. I thought that I was the only one, I thought-"
"Oh, my sweet, sweet girl," he put my head into his shoulder and smoothed my hair," I'm so sorry. had I known-"
"That doesn't matter now," I told him as I wiped my eyes dry of tears," What matters is that Jane is coming here with an army to kill you all."
"What," he said.
"You have to hurry, she's-"
"Right here."
We both looked to see my mother standing in the doorway, a young girl and a young man on one side of her and a older man on the other side. All looked angered.
"Oh, my dear daughter," she said," Did you really think you could outsmart me? I made you. I know you from the inside out, that's why I knew that you'd ounce at the chance to be with your father," she looked at Rodrick with mock despair," To feel welcome and like you belong."
"Leave, Jane. You aren't allowed here."
"That's where you're wrong, Rodrick, this," she gestured to the house and smiled," This is exactly where I belong."
