POV Fiona: Devil’s Daughter

I would walk by him. I would watch him. I would glare at him.. But the one thing I wouldn't do was talk to him.

I figured Seth would find this awkward but he's been acting like nothing happened. I only assumed that he was the reason Ajar had a change of pace with me. I wasn't sure if I should hate him or thank him for saving me. If I had gotten any deep with my feelings, I'd probably regret it later. This to me was very bittersweet and I hated it. We gathered in the Hallow Mansion kitchen, and sat at the table. Ajar and Seth was discussing how long they had until everyone in the clan notice I'm here. I stayed silent, debating either if I wanted to stay here long enough to even be discovered. This thought weighed on me. Oh, what I would do to get my old life back.

"Fiona?" Seth called out to me as I'm caught up in my thoughts "Huh?" he asked me a question I didn't even notice he was asking me "I want to know where your mind is in all of this? What do you want to do?" I look at both of them as only one thing that I really wanted to do popped into my mind. I wanted to be free. I wanted the pain to go away.

I calmly looked at Seth "I think it was best you guys followed your clan rules. Isn't it forbidden to have a human in your mist?." Ajar got up and protest without a second thought in his way "For the last time, Fiona. No one is going to kill you! Why do you keep insisting we follow rules that does just that?!" I shot back at him "And where do you get off on telling me otherwise? I'm trying to save you guys from having to deal with me!" Seth jumped up and got in the middle "Will you guys calm down! I get it, okay! We are all tense, but can we just chill and think logically about all this?" Ajar looks to him but points at me "Do you honestly think I'm going to have you entertain the fact that she's simply being unreasonable?!"

I almost laughed but instead I got angry "Are you sure you don't want me dead yourself? I mean, let's face it. You want me gone more then anyone in this room." Ajar glares me down "You sure talk a lot for a girl who thinks she knows everything." I countered "Maybe because I do." But honestly, I didn't and I think he knew that. I was just so angry with him, that I would have said anything to get under his skin. His beautiful, unforgettable skin.

I shook my head, as I could picture myself just being up against him. How I'd die just to make it happen. I walked out of the kitchen, into the next room.

This room was just as creep as the whole house. Not that I didn't expected it not to be. Seth entered the room "Fiona—" I shut him down "Don't Seth. I know what your going to say and right now, being calm is not in my vocabulary." he stood there looking at me, I could see the eyes of guy who honestly wanted to help and protect his people but just didn't know how. He spoke but none of what he said was out of confidence "Fiona, you lost a lot. Your life. Your parents. I would never ask you to be calm because I know all of this isn't easy." I rolled my eyes and began to walk towards the door but he quickly blocked my way "I know what I'm saying doesn't sound comforting but if you were human all of this would've been fixed already. But, it's because it's not. Don't you think it begs the question why?"

"So what your saying? That I'm some monster whose memories you can't erase?" I stared at him in complete disbelief. My life took a desperate turn and Seth wanted to stand here and call me a monster. He calmly took a breath in "I'm not calling you a monster but I'm calling you something different. If you was a regular monster, I'd have your memories erased too but it's like—" he stopped talking. Trying to collect how he was going to say, what he was going to say without looking crazy "I don't think you're a monster.. I'm not trying to imply that you are but there are things in this world that make us monsters—where we don't actually have choices.." I sadden but I could clearly see he was holding something back.. something important "Than what possibly could I be?! I lived a normal human life! I had normal parents!" He gathered all of what I was saying in thought "Have your parents been acting out of the norm, before they died?" This question set me aback. How could I answer that? Everything they did was out of the norm before they died! They had a man, dressed in black basically telling me I wasn't their daughter and they didn't deny it. How was I going to answer the question, when the answer isn't something I came to accept yet?

"I don't know what you want me to say Seth.. They were my parents. They raised me.. They wouldn't lie..They just couldn't do that to m—" he glared at me but Ajar steps into the room "You lying, doesn't make this situation any better." I turned to him, completely bewildered by his accusation "Who are you to tell me that I'm lying?" He caught himself and turned away. He knew fully well what I was implying; if he wanted to talk about lying, he should address his own first. Seth wasted no time diffusing the situation once more "What Ajar meant to say, is that you mentioned a man in black before. Clearly he wasn't a vampire because Ajar would have sensed him. Meaning that he wasn't. Also meaning, your not tell us something." And there it was. The moment I dread most. The truth.

I could feel myself sinking into the floor, just wanting it to swallow me whole but it never did. Seth asked me again "Fiona, what are you not telling us? Something else happened that night that you aren't telling us." I snapped "You think I enjoy it? You wanna know what happened that night? My parents died!" Ajar stepped forward but I took a step back. If he wanted to keep lying to himself and act like what me and him felt didn't mean something. I didn't want his comfort. I moved more towards Seth and I could see Ajar reacted towards this but he looked at me in complete dismay and walked out of the house, slamming the door behind him. Seth wanted to go after him but I grabbed him by the elbow, stopping him "Do you wanna hear what happened that night or go after him?" Seth froze in place to look at me "Seriously.. what has gotten into you two?" letting him go I answered "That doesn't matter. Ajar made his bed so let him lay in it. Right now, it's matter of life and death. What I have to say is important." he sighs clearly knowing there is more to life than trying to clean up Ajar's attitude. He turns me "Okay then, tell me." I took a breathe in, centering the events of that night in my mind "The man in black told me that I wasn't my parents daughter, that he came to get me. He even said something about a seal that I broke and following my true destiny." Seth went in to say something but I stopped him "But something felt familiar about him. Something strong and knowingly put. Like family.." he looks at me a bit taken a back by the news but didn't seem surprised. I could see in his eyes a new meaningfully event hasn't taken place in his mind "I think I should tell you something." I looked at him confused "Go on.." he sighs like he is finally confessing something "I've been pretending this whole time that I didn't know who you were or what you were.." I took a step back "What.." he came closer but I stopped him "Before you try to come any closer you best explain yourself."

"That's fair." he said "Fiona, I didn't want to scare you." I laughed at how rich that sound "Scared? I've been scared this whole time, Seth! Vampires—man in black—my parents dying—setting my house on fire—All of this has rather been terrifying for me! And you tell me this whole time, you knew who and what I was and you didn't find keeping that kind of information was terrifying?!" Seth looks at me "I had to pretend for Ajar's sake! Do you have any idea what you being here even means?! The scales of balance has been tipped with you just being here!" I questioned him "Why?!"

"Because your the devils daughter!" my mind began to scatter at the bits and pieces of information being thrown at me. Causing my reaction to only follow closely behind "Your lying.." he saddens "I wish I was. But you are. A child born of both human and angel blood will soon rise alongside the promised son. Together, they will bring fourth the crimson moon, hell on earth and rule the lands of hell." he looks at me "It's just as the prophecy said. We are already in phase one. You broke the seal." the memory of the night replayed in my head, recalling the reason why my house caught on fire "What exactly is this seal? Why did it break? Why now—No. Matter of fact, how the hell do you know any of this anyway?!" Seth sighed, taking his phone out of his pocket he pulls up a picture of a man on the screen and showed it to me. I looked at the picture confused "Okay and so?"

"That man in the picture is Ajar's father and one of the men on the vampire council." he turned off his phone and shoved it back in his pocket "He made a deal with the devil—your father—" cutting him off I glared at him "Don't you call him my father." he cleared his throat and nod "Well, at the cost of our clan having safe haven to stay in this town. He granted us special abilities. Only the close circle, of course and their children. However, considering Ajar's father was the one that conjured up the deal. Your fat—I mean, the devil is demanding payment." I shake my head even more confused "What the heck does that have to do with Ajar? What does that even mean?" Seth pondered his answer and stared at me "Well, you can say in some logically sense that Ajar is like your fiancé." I could feel my whole mouth drop in complete awe.

How do I react to this? What do I make of this? How can I look at anything the same after being told that I had a fiancé my whole entire life and it happens to be a vampire and that the devil is my father!

"Are you telling me that Ajar is the promised son?" Seth nod "The devil wanted payment, what is better then the first born to one of the most powerful vampires on the planet to marry the daughter of hell?" I couldn't answer because I didn't think anything I would say would make a difference "I.. I don't know.." he saddens "Exactly. Because there isn't one. Ajar isn't just any normal vampire. He was born with demon blood. Courtesy of the devil." I shook my head. Not wanting to believe anything that was being told to me. I began to walk towards the door, just to get away from everything "Fiona—" but as soon as I opened the door, I regretted it.

Ajar stood there in shock and hurt. When I thought he left he was just outside the other end of this door. Everything in me shattered "Your... Your the devils daughter?.." Ajar asked the question but he already knew the answer. It wasn't long when the pain on his face turned to anger and he was pointed right at Seth "And you knew!? This whole time you knew and my father gave me up as collateral damage?!" Seth came to the door quickly and tried to grab Ajar by the arm but Ajar pushed him, only to back away more on the porch. Seth went out on to the porch "Let me explain!" I could see Ajar's identity crumbling right in front of me. His eyes turned crimson red and the veins on his face were visible "I don't want to hear it Seth! You lying son of a bitch! You and my father—I trusted you!" he shouted angrily. As Seth went to take another step forward to try to gain control of the situation, Ajar was gone in a spilt second and all that was left was the tension.

Seth began to open draws and closets, gathering weapons and anything that could use to attack any beast on the hunt. As I was going to stop him to ask him what was going on; he turned around and shoved a pistol in my hands and looked at me "Use this if anything comes in the house. Whatever happens, shot first and ask questions later." He began to walk towards the door but I shouted after him "Why?!—Why would I need to use this?!" He turned around quickly before he speed rushed out the door "Because if you don't, you'll surely wish Ajar didn't save you." and he was gone.

I closed and locked the door, carefully examining the gun in my hand. What did he mean, I surely wish Ajar didn't save me? I felt my mind weighed with many questions with no answers; just the fact I was the devils daughter and I didn't know what to do with that..
