War of Fate (Book 2 Completed)

Chapter 35 - 'Dad?'

A small announcement, mvongh has started to translate Hades' Daughter into Italian, so those of you who are Italian, go and check it out if you want, and let me know how the translation is as I can't speak Italian. (I'm certain it's amazing!) On the other hand those of you who aren't Italian go and show it some love anyway! You can find it in a reading list on my page as well as on mvongh's page! This amazing cover ^^^ was made for it by lighthell! I love it! <3

"It's nothing." I insist for the second time, cutting him off from his rant, as we continue out of the police station. I had explained to him about the photos, and then brushed it off as nothing, at my indifferent tone his face had turned to stone and he then started to rant at me about the risks, like I don't already know them. Of course my dad has to play the overreacting dad now.

"How can you say that?! You've been careless ever since you have arrived on Earth. Biting people out in public, letting people follow you without you knowing, and using your powers when they are not needed. You want to get caught? You've even told people, or they've found out! You've only been here just under five weeks! Or is that it, are you bored of Earth after five weeks?" My dad holds himself back from shouting. I find myself speechless, my mouth slack. I let out a small breath, feeling slightly hurt at my dad's observations. The shock at my dad knowing about Reid (with his old memories), Hunter, Bianca, and Lily knowing what I am, however outweighs the pain. My dad looks around at the curious glances we are receiving, and mutters for us to get out of here. I follow obediently, only to be stopped by a shout of my name.

"Scar!" I close my eyes as I turn around to see, as expected, Hunter. I look over my shoulder at my dad, who is looking at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Dad, can you give us a moment?" I inquire. He doesn't say anything as he turns and walks away from me, and an advancing Hunter. It's not really the best time for them to meet. I turn back to Hunter who is looking over my shoulder at my dad's back as he walks away.

"That's your dad?!" He asks with a bit of fear and disbelief tainting his tone.

"What are you doing here?" I query not bothering to answer his question.

"I wanted to see if you were alright."

"Well here I am, and I'm fine." I tell him shortly. I was still hurt from what my dad said, but I also knew that if we stay too long my dad will come and interfere. I don't really want Hunter to meet him right now when he's in a bad mood.

"Um, okay. I talked to Stacey, and she explained to me..."

"Why? Why did you do that? I don't need your help." I say annoyed, turning around to follow my dad. Hunter grabs my arm, turning me back.

"What happened? What did they say?" He inquires his eyes holding concern. "I came here because I work here, and I would be able to get more information than you." I roll my eyes pulling my arm away from him.

"Nothing happened. I said I'm fine."

"I didn't ask if you were fine." He comments. I groan and step away from him.

"Hunter, I just want to be alone right now." I lie not wanting my dad to think any worse of me. Annoyed with myself, and my dad, I spin around and stride after one of my annoyances right now. I find my dad standing in the entrance talking to what looks like a woman and man, but I know better. They're demons. When my dad sees me getting closer, they quickly stop talking and the demons walk away.

"Why are they here?" I ask.

"They're going to sort out the problem, get rid of everything, but from what I heard you don't need them, you already have a cop who undoubtedly will do it all for you." My dad says snidely. Why is he so angry with me? I can get him being annoyed at me being arrested, but I would have thought that he also would have been proud. When I was sitting outside the principal's he was glad that I was there. He can over worry sometimes, so he's probably just worried that they found out what I am.
