Daddy

|Isaiah|

Helen's POV

I can't seem to keep my eyes off Isaiah. He's just a walking perfection. When he came to the door, I was beyond excited. I mean I know he's one of the bad vampires, but he seem so very harmless.

While Duke was gone, he had told me about the ruthless infected king, who killed my parents, was out to get me too. Apparently my blood is special. And I'm having mixed feelings whether I should like that, or hate that. Considering vampires are the ones that told me that..and weird ugly creatures too.

He also explained to me about the vampires. How there is good and bad. And I can't believe that Duke and Isaiah are bad vampires. Duke saved my life by taking me in, and is even taking me out shopping later! I've never been so happy to hear rules again. Plus, his rules are easy! With mommy and daddy, I had to go to bed at 8 everynight and 7 on school days.. School is something I wish I could do again. But Duke is kind of strict about me going out by myself with this stink king wanting me.

And Isaiah, is just so attractive and nice to me, how are they bad vampires? That was a question I kept asking myself. Until he explained why their bad vampires. He said that newborn vampires have 24 hours to either kill a human or kill a reaver. If they end up killing a human, they become a bad vampire and if they kill a Reaver, they become a good vampire. You see, bad vampires kill their food. That's all they do, they feel no mercy and they actually enjoy killing. It was kind of scary when he explained it, but I know Duke and Isaiah wouldn't do that to me. I'm special.

After I got done stuffing my face with the luxury food they bought for me, We went shopping. I was skipping all the way there, holding Isaiah's hand. When I get older, I want to marry Isaiah. I think we would be a cute couple! I giggle.

I run up to different dresses and clothing. I wish I new what I wanted...Just like on que Duke speaks up.

"Don't worry about the price tootsie roll, just pick something and get something else." He says. My face brightens up. I have no problem with the nicknames he gives me. I think it's cute actually. I get nicknames...He's a lot like a dad..and I kind of like that. Having a family again means a lot to me, and Duke is the perfect dad so far.

We spend so many hours out shopping. My old parents would have never let me spend so much money on clothes or food. Oh yes, we went food shopping too. Isaiah, Duke, and I head back to the house. He says they need to have a mini meeting. I've never been in a meeting before! I feel so grown up. I huff in confidence. As we're walking, I'm in between Isaiah and Duke, holding both of their hands and their other hands are full with my groceries and clothes.

Oddly, a lot of people stare at us the whole way. I can't tell if it's because they know I'm human with two pretty strong bad vampires, or that it's Duke the infamous bad vampire. I shrug the thought off as we continue our walk home. I wish this moment would never end.

I look up at Duke, my new gaurdian. My dad, my savior and smile. He grunts and looks away from me. I giggle. I can tell he feels uncomfortable. It's actually pretty cute embarassing him.

"Daddy, can I go to school?" I say, hoping he won't hate the new name i've given him. But he's certaintly earned it. As I look at him, I can tell he's quite surprised and not used to it at all. But he seems a little happier that I've said it.

"Uh..well.." he stutters over his words. He coughs to clear his throat. "Lets discuss this in the meeting tootsie roll." I smile to myself. Then look at Isaiah. He smiles warmly at me, I spot his fangs immediatly. Surprisingly, i'm not afriad anymore. I know it hasn't been long, but i've grown onto these men. And I hope I never have to lose them like I did mommy and daddy.

When we finally arrive at home, and after we put away all the food and clothes, all three of us walk to the couch and plop down at the same time, all sighing loudly and dramatically in unison. I start a fit of giggles. I jump when daddy claps his hands together and sits up to look at us both.

"Okay meeting time." He announces. Isaiah and I exchange glances and smile at each other. I never go to noticed how beautiful and green they are when they're not in scary vampire red mode. After my daze in Isaiah's eyes, I then look at Daddy and nod for him to continue. He clears this throat a little dramatically to make me laugh, and boy do I. I can tell he tries a little to hard, but I'll give him so much credit because he's doing such a great job. He's taken me off the depression road and put me on another road, the road less traveled by.

"Okay so," He points to Isaiah, Isaiah raises an eyebrow and points at himself. Duke chuckles and nods. "Yes, stupid. You." He turns to look at me, I can't help but smile, which he returns. "Isaiah will be your body guard guy from now on."

I squeal with excitement. Okay, maybe I exaggerate a little. I know Isaiah is older...way older.But if I were to be completely honest, he's like an older brother to me. He takes care of me and is so nice to me, I havn't known him for long, but I know I could trust him with my life. I would do anything to return the favor. Maybe In time when I'm older, I can do more for him and daddy.

"And as far as school goes, Isaiah will help you prepare in the morning and your second body guard is Gideon, he is the younger looking bad vampire out of all of us, So he'll be going to the same school as you, just in a way higher grade. He'll drive you back and forth and look after you there." Announces Daddy. I cock my head in confusion.

I don't mind the body gaurd part, but I have no idea who Gideon is, I would like to meet him before I go to school with him and trust him with my life. I hate being a human and being to useless...having to burden Isaiah and Gideon with my life and Daddy with adopting me..Why hadn't I thought of this sooner? Instead, I was to enraged and blinded to see that there are other things in the long run, I can't just get everything free. So i'm going to be the best daughter ever and train hard and get good grades. I want to stay with daddy for as long as I can...Maybe one day I can be a bad vampire like him.

I reach for daddys hand to hold it, to feel my daddys hand, I want to feel connected. I want him to know i'm grateful. He looks down at me, his long undercut hairstyled hair reaching over his eye. He's not smiling right now, he's looking right into me instead...attempting to find out what I'm feeling.

Good. I want him too. I want him to know that I could be capable of trying my best for him and maybe even end up loving him as my family...as my daddy.

He looks down at our hands.

So do I.

In that moment, I think we were thinking about the same thing...

You're worth it.
