12 renew

The weeks passed then months, every thing was normal. I went to training and missions weekly sometimes out of state and often enough around town, messed up part i seemed to almost revolve around my fathers house and business. But the truth is when your a trouble maker danger is all around you, more so when the danger is evil vampires selling drugs and your a drug dealer too. But he never knew the places that it came from was actually from one place in the area and its from a rich vampire getting richer off of that stupid idiot and others above my father. I ended up saving his but more often than he would ever know, Luis and Sam caught on to it pretty early but never wanted to stop me. They knew I loved him, he was my father and a stupid foolish man. He was also a hurt teenage boy deep down with a full plate and no guidance or help, he had a hard time and even after it was over he seemed to make it hard. How could he know better, but of course after having so many kids and barely being around to raise one, I couldn't blame him for being messed up in the head and heart. But one night he went too far.

"Its Friday night Ang and your birthday is tomorrow can't you just skip this mission and stay my little girl and watch movies with your dear old mom?" My mother was nagging me yet again, its been months and she never stops being a mom and trying to give me a normal life. "Mom ive told you before tomorrow will be a normal boring day, cake and a movie and we can go shopping." I meant what I said something normal and nothing to over the top. I had to go out someone was trying to meet a vampire and gain power in the drug lord areas. Well correction there were multiple people trying, only tonight Sam caught wind of some person getting dangerously close to hurting themselves. So I had a new mission, i was excited for this one I wanted to put someone back in their place and maybe take some vampire drug lord down from their little empire. I headed out the door after kissing my mom good bye for the night, When I got to the end of the walk way Tommy had pulled up in his car for me to get in. I was already armed from my boots to my shoulders, I was going to have fun. I was handed the pictures of the possible drug lords and a few images of the men possibly meeting them tonight. We had learned that day that there wasnt just one vampire in charge but 4, we really didmt like being in charge of one thing and would rather share i guess. smart but yet how often did vampire really show face, we almost never did so why tonight and why so many. "They are getting nervous, they know we almost have them, so why not give us more impossible targets." Tommy had been briefed before picking me up, his job was to give me the info. After giving me that much information and letting me enjoy up beat music and look over the images Tommy was around the corner of the building that was going to be used. He parked 2 blocks from my dads business that was good, no direct road to his place. That made me feel better but I'd still wonder around there to make sure he was safe or that he had no vampires in his bed again. I got out and climbed my way to the roof top of the building across from theirs, already there were two snipers and 4 other men who would go in with me.

When everyone was inside and they had become comfortable we began to burst in. First 2 men on either door and a second man behind them, I came in from the roof, we had all entrances covered and the snipers were covering us in case others had arms or if back up was coming. After we had broke in everything went down the weaklings were taken down then armed drug dealers who never knew speed like ours existed. We disarmed them and knocked them out, then it was the 4 drug lords they knew they had messed up really well, they were about to run but that's why they had me. I was the fastest there and with a quick breath i was running at each of their legs pulling out my large hunters blade slicing into their ankles. They wouldn't run then and they wouldn't for a long while. The other guards restrained the drug lords and began moving the out, transport showed up to take them away and while we were leaving a few humans were coming around. I paid no attention until i heard my fathers voice, he was in pain and he sounded like he was afraid. I turned around and he was leaning against a wall looking at his daughter. He said my name again and a few men turned and seen him there looking at me, I was crashing after that high. My father was right there in the middle of this mess, he probably watched the entire thing. "Dad, why are you here, how did you get in this mess how can you be so stupid, why are you here?" I was ready to cry and ready to yell but not infront of the guards I worked with. They all knew I was a half breed like them and that I was a higher rank than most vampires. But what they were now witnessing was my equivalent to a fall from grace and power. There against the wall was my father beaten and bruised, with a bite mark on his arm and a claiming tattoo on his chest. Both were fresh, and I was in turmoil. I could save him from that poison bite and have the mark removed or let him suffer to learn his lesson so he could go and roam the streets and wait for his master. "Ang what are you doing here, i was doing business, but how are you standing around these guys, why arnt they attacking you? Are you one of them, are you the rival drug lords they talked about?" My father asked me yet he still tried to look tough even though he was confused. Right after he finished he almost fell trying to take a step towards me, he watched Luis rest his hand on my shoulder. Luis turned me into his chest and wrapped his arms around me, " Angy why don't we get you home you shouldn't have to see this." Luis tried to comfort me and remove me from this, he was being the big brother he always was. "Angelita come here get away from them they will kill you, take your hands off my daughter or ill make you pay." My father was trying to protect me, only from the good guys. He was at least trying and that was what killed me the most emotionally. I finally cracked, i looked up at Luis and whispered to clear a path and let me take my father to his home to care for him. I'd remove the claim and place my own and heal the bite and keep him safe. "Are you sure that's what you want?" Luis was determined to let me live my life by my own choices. I wanted to and nodded in agreement to my decision. He looked at Tommy and reached out his hand, He understood and walked to us giving him his keys to his car, Luis then handed the keys to me. when I went to turn away Tommy grabbed my arm." Let me go with you Ang please you shouldn't do this on your own." He was worried about me yet again I had another man wanting to protect me.

I turned around and looked at my father on his knees, I hated it and had to help him. Luis shouted out some order and everyone was gone, the only people left were my father,luis, Tommy and me. My father looked scarred like he was realizing I had more power than he did. I walked up to him and told him that I wasn't into drugs but I was in security and that I was going to help him whether or not he wanted it. I grabbed his arms and lifted him up, he had lost weight and even with half my strength It was easy to lift him.Tommy was mad he began to lose himself to his anger and changed in that moment he growled at me and lashed out at my father. He swung his claw like nails at my father and before he could stop i dropped him and turned my back to Tommy's swing. I cried out and fell to my knees, my back stung and bled from the scratches he gave me by accident. Before I could think I opened my eyes looked down at my father and turned around to growl back and return the favor Tommy gave me. Luis had already done so for me. He had grabbed Tommy by the back of his neck and with all his strength he had almost thrown him across the entire building more than 30 feet away. He landed gracefully and on his feet but understood what he had done and how he had wronged me in more than one way. I was still in my knees in front of my father, only my father was even more conflicted than he was before. He seen my eyes flash blue with my lapse of judgment and moment of pain. I had looked at his face and showed him what I was, he was seeing my strength and seeing his daughter protecting him. Now not only was it hurting me seeing him like this but i was hurt for him hurting me so much. I was bleeding yet I still didn't care, Luis had set Tommy straight and knew I wasn't going to hold anything against them because i loved them so much. They were my brothers in blood and shield. I stood up and bared the pain, it was minor compared to what I've faced before. I picked my father up again and carried him to the car, after I set him down I grabbed two blankets from the trunk one for my father and the other to keep from making a mess of the drivers seat. By the time I had gotten to my fathers house he began to cry and moan. The bite was a stupid promise to turn him, the idiots never realise its poison to most and a drug to few. I managed to carry him inside and lay him in the bathtub, I gave him some of the blood we had in the car to keep the poison from killing him. After he stopped crying and moaning he fell asleep, I took this time to cut off the layers of skin lightly to remove the mark. I helped heal his bite mark and claim mark, this much will keep him safe. When he wakes up ill give him a choice till then I can clean up his house and remove any unwanted materials i deem unfit for his safety. By the time I had finished i went ahead and made him some food so he would be healthy enough, it was 5 more minutes till my actual birthday. In the next 24 hours my life will be ridiculous, at this rate ill skip shopping and a movie and just eat ice cream. I heard my dad putting on the clothes i left in the bathroom for him, he was awake finally 3 hours earlier he had seen his guardian daughter. He finally made his way to me in the kitchen drinking a nice warm cup of blood, only he had no idea that's what it was. "Honey what exactly happened?" He finally asked the question I could answer. "Dad, you messed up. You delivered drugs you helped a man who is under my strength who thought he could be god, who made you feel needed and probably useful. Those men were vampires like me only thing is they were people I've been trained to take down with ease. You were saved by me, they gave you poison and probably told you it was power or a drug. Truth is it would have killed you and they gave it to you because they were afraid of me killing them. Had you been any other man I would have left you there to die, but you are my father. Those men understood that and accepted my request to save you and care for you, now I'm sure you noticed your cool gang tattoo is gone, your welcome. If you kept that eventually you would be arrested or killed from a simple misunderstanding. Now I can give you my marking, no vampire will harm you and if they are high enough in rank they will understand who marked you and will help protect you or if your still in the wrong groups, kill you. Your daughter is a unique vampire guard, and have complete control of what I can or cant do. The man who tried to attack you, was trying to keep me from getting hurt but in return I protected you and got your cost instead. He got his punishment trust me but you will not be his friend that's for sure. The people I work with care about me they protect me like I protect them." I spoke the truth to him and with every sentence i spat my own verbal venom at him hoping it would sink in the trouble he was in. "Since you helped me let me take care of your back, It must hurt." He seemed sincere and somewhat like he felt in debt to me. He turned and picked up the towel on the cabinet i tried to stop him but he unrolled it, seeing the amount of blood that was on it. His jaw dropped and he looked at me asking if that was my blood, i looked down and said yes. He went and grabbed the first aid kit he had in the kitchen and opened it up and told me to turn so he could take a look. I had already taken off my bra since it was already cut along with my back. He helped me pull my shirt up and pulled it over my head just enough for him to see the full damage left on my back and give me some modesty given my age. When he had seen the 5 scratches across my back and the depth of them he cried, it was fully sinking into his head and heart how much his daughter was actually doing for him. He lightly dragged his fingers over the deep grooves, " Mi hija, this is real everything you said and your eyes. It was real and its true. My daughter is a vampire, and you protected me. My daughter is doing my job better than me. I'm supposed to protect you and care for you, but your doing that for me. I'm sorry I failed you." He broke down crying he laid his hands on me afraid to hug me or hurt me. I layed my hands on his, to make him feel better. "Dad would you mind cleaning those up for me, they will heal faster and I can go home for cake." I had to ask i needed it done I had to get home soon, it would have been hard to do it myself and I couldn't ask Noah. " Yes yes I can let me get some antiseptic and some swabs and get you cleaned. Im sorry honey, happy birthday my little girl." He was still crying but moving along to help me. After he got all the tools needed he tried very carefully to clean my wounds, I had to show off I picked up my cup of blood swirled it a little smelled it and took a drink. I knew he would look at it and he did, after watching my back stretch the wounds open, he had to see what i was doing that was so important that I'd risk getting hurt more. He asked if I was drinking blood and I answered with yes. I was telling a somewhat religious man that monsters existed and it was still sinking in. He finished his little job and i went to put my shirt back down, but he stopped me. "Why don't you wear one of my clean shirts. I think they would fit you." He was trying now I could see it, after all these years I had to be 19 for him to become a father. But I had a fresh change of clothes in the car, i told him to grab the green labeled bag in the trunk of my car out front and gave him the key. He came back with the bag and handed it to me, i gulped down the last of my blood and went to the bathroom to change. I came back out feeling better, I gave him a prepaid phone with my number already programmed in it with my name. I grabbed my things and told him to call me Monday and to stay out of trouble if he needed anything to call before then or if he was in trouble send a blank message and I'd find him. He was still sad and hurting but I was tired and hurting it was almost 2 in the morning and I had to get home. I left and heard him lock the door, I got in the car and drove home. I was late but mom was used to me coming home the morning after a mission without any problem. I got in quietly threw my bedroom window and found Luis waiting in my desk chair, he was asleep and peaceful but as soon as I put both feet on the floor he had a knife in his hand ready to attack. He put it away and stood up, "Let me tend to your back you were bleeding enough for a human to die." He was back to his overly sensitive brotherly care taker attitude. I came im and laid down on my bed he lifted my shirt and untied my bra. He turned away so i could take it off and he could grab his medical kit. I faced down on my bed revealing nothing to him and allowing him to do his job. He cleaned my wounds much better than my father and applied a vampiric salve to help the healing process. I was tired and he seen it, he patted my head saying good night sister and happy birthday. He quietly left and I had fallen asleep laying there.

I woke up and heard my mother singing crazy birthday songs and making food for my day. I looked over and on the desk was my favorite energy drink with a note from Tommy saying he was sorry and to keep the car for the day as a treat from him. He knew that he could lose his status if they found out he gave the car away but he could also lose ranks for attacking me like he did. This was his way to make it up and I accepted. I went into the kitchen after showering and dressing, my wounds were almost completely gone except for the pink scar tissue that was still healing. My mother was still singing and smiling when she came around and hugged me and smiled saying Happy Birthday. I smiled and thanked her then sat down and enjoyed my food. We went out shopping and watched a comedy movie at the theatre. I went through the day enjoying my mothers bad vampire jokes and me correcting her along with her overly dominating opinions about clothes. At the end of the day I was glad to have the day over with I wanted to rest and get back in my warm bed.
