Chapter 3
Chris softly pulled Kim to him and kissed her shoulder.
“Good evening little one” He whispered softly into her ear. She yawned and rubbed her eyes.
“Did you sleep well?” Chris asked as he sat up, she did not answer him.
“You know Kim; I know more about you than you think.”
“Oh really now….well, I guess I know more about you too.” She said to be smartass.
“Like what do you think you know about me?”
“That you were an asshole, but now you’re a stalker and kidnapper as well.” She saw her words seem not to move him.
“Does the name Raven Nightrain, mean anything to you?”
Kim sat up at looked at him dead in the eyes.
“That my mothers name, but where, how did you find that name?!”
He smiled softly, and pushes some of his hair back.
“She is, well was my fathers best friends’ wife, and you are his daughter. This also makes you my fiancé.” He said softly. Kim was in shock. She had never met her father, and when her mother was still alive, she could never remember a time where her mother talked about him.
“I don’t believe you.” Was the only thing she could think to say to everything he’d said.
“Why?”
“Because, why would my mother lie to me?!”
“She didn’t want you to get hurt, because of me.” A male voice behind her said. Kim turned to see a tall man standing in the door way.
“I, I don’t understand.” Kim said, as she tried to piece things together.
“We didn’t expect you too.” The male said softly.
“If you are who you say you are, then why didn’t you come for me after my mother died?!” She asked softly, with grief and disbelieve heavy in her voice.
“Because your mother made me promise that I wouldn’t go near you until your twenty-first birthday, and even still only if it was truly necessary. Your mother didn’t want this life style for you, and I didn’t ether.”
“Then why? Why now?” She asked, still not sure she understood.
“Because, well two reasons. The first is: Well Chris is soon to take over as the leader of our race, and he must have a wife, with noble blood. And Second: It seems some one found out you where my daughter. This puts you in great danger.” The man sighed.
“You need to trust him. He wouldn’t lie to you.” Chris said as he softly rubbed her back. Kim didn’t know what to believe, and the sight of a few tears made that clear. Chris quickly pulled her to him and hugged her warmly.
“Chris, after she recovers, take her to my room please. I think it will help her understand.”
“Ok Joseph, I will.” Chris answered as he kissed the top of Kim’s head.
After about an hour she was able to pull myself from her thoughts, which wasn’t easy. What was going on? Was this some kind of a funny joke? Vampires were one thing but her father? She looked at Chris.
“What kind of joke are you playing?”
“What do you mean?” He frowned.
“Kimberly, look I know this is hard for you to understand, and I know your hurt by the thought that your mother could have lied to you. I really do understand but you have to trust us. I wouldn’t dare hurt you and neither would he.”
“Grr… Fine I’ll talk to him. Just stop trying to convince me you’re not some crazy man trying to get his kick, by putting me through hell!” She snapped at him.
“Calm down and come on. I’ll take you too him.” He chuckled as he held his hand out for her; she slapped it away and stood up.
“I don’t need your help. I’m not a baby so don’t treat me like one.”
“I wasn’t trying to treat you like a baby, and I’m sorry if it seemed like I was.”
“Well come on Chris. I want to get this over with.”
“I know you do.”
She looked at him for a minute.
“Then stop standing there and led the way damn it!” She snapped at him.
She followed behind him as he led the way down a long and beautiful hall way. Who was this man she was about to meet? What if he really was her father? If he was, why did her mom lie? These questions and some many more rush through her head. As she stood in front of the old oak door, which would take her to who was suppose to be her father. The door opened and her heart began to race.
