“What............................there must be something wrong!” she blurted out.
“No....unfortunately not. “He said wounded by her words
“Sorry!”
“For what”
“I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings when i said something must be wrong, I was thinking why you would want to be my father not I didn’t want to be your daughter!”
“Well why wouldn’t I wouldn’t I want to be your father?”
“Past complications that’s all” she said softly
“Well just for your peace of mind, I do wish to be your father!”
“Thanks, but can I ask you something?”
“Anything!”He said confused
“Why are you so nice to me?”
When all of a sudden a flash of red light blinded her<she felt something hot sizzle on her cheek
She got up pushing the chair out of the way, she took a few steps forward then stumbled back, hands out against the air. There was a disturbance, something big was coming for her, she clicked her fingers and flicked out a fireball. Her rapid cursing in response she blinked quickly , her sight slowly returning to her. She sees the man batter the flames of his shirt. She spotted a familiar figure behind him
The figure disappeared and reappeared empty-handed next to her.
Helping her settle in to one of the chairs.
“Thanks Drew!”She said her completely returning to her.
“You wel.........”
“Can some tell me what just happened?” Michael injected
“SOMEONE ATTACKED ME!” Alex whispered
“Oh I saw, that I was talking about that boy disappearing and reappearing within seconds!”..
“Yes Drew tell them”
“ummmm ........................ I have to go, I really do not want to be here When S.P finds out about this” he said taking a few steps back before disappearing
“ un know love to explain but i have to go see SP to come here and maybe he can explain to me what is going on , and maybe he can use the phone in the house to call he/she. She stood up in silence and walked into the house.
What has this world come to he taught..........
She picked up the phone and dialled the number; he picked up on the second ring.
“Hello Diamond” S.P said
“Hey skulduggery I have bad news...................”
“What did you do?” He said interrupting her
“Let me finish first.”
“Fine, go then.”
“I have bad news and good news.”
“And how does that make difference?”
“Well now there is good and bad news, so which one do u want hear first?”
He sighed and said “That’s the preposterous thing I’ve ever heard!”He paused and continued
“Bad news first then bad.”
“Okay the bad news is that someone attacked me and a mortal saw me throw a fireball at him and saw drew teleport him but ...............
“Diamond heart how could you let a mortal see you do that, you know that’s against the rules, people expect that Frome me not you.............................. they could send u to jail, how could you be so foolish , idiotic , daft, senseless.......”
“You can stop any time.”
“Sorry got caught in the moment, the good news.”
“The good news is that the mortal is my dad and he wants to met you.”
“I can understand you finding your is great but what I don’t how he wanting to meet me is great.”
“I know but doesn’t matter just get here.”
“Fine where are you?”
“Neverland.”
“Got it bye”
“Bye”
She hung up the phone, walked outside and took her seat
“So I made the call.”
“Alex why was that guy trying to kill you?”
“I don’t know, it’s a different reason every time.”
“Every time.” He repeated
“I’m assuming that this happens quite often.”
“Yes.” She flatly
“And what if something goes wrong.”
“Well skulduggery just tends to show up at the right time.”
“Yes, yes I do.” Skulduggery murmured and took his seat
“OH you must be skulduggery or is it S.P?”
“S.P is my initials.”
“Well I know what the stand for so what does the p stand for?”
“Pleasant.”
“Ah so can you please tell me why Alex was able to create fire and that boy was able to disappear.”
“Well I’d love but I can’t
And why is that
“It’s the rules, could mean me
Could be next to jail if we did
“But allowing me to see that is completely fine”
“No someone will come and convince you that you never saw what you saw or we could leave but you will never see Alex again”
“Then I don’t want to remember”
“Either way you won’t see me again” Alex whispered
“Fine then leave at least this way I will remember her”
They got up and left without saying another word
I find out I had a thought and had then see someone attack her and now I’m never going to see her again
What else can go wrong today, he thought
He got up and walked into the house
A few days later Michael's sister Janet came to visit him
She let herself into the house and went to the kitchen.
Michael u look.......... look great ok
I lie u terrible what happened he was still in his pajamas and robe
“Michael u look like u haven’t bathed in days............
You smell like to whats gotten into u , I want my brother back, she shouted.
Janet relax, fine something happened”
“Was it a girl?”
“You know my life does not revolve around girls
“Really have you heard your music or do you go into some type of dream state every time you sing”
“Ha-ha-ha very funny.”
“I try.”
“No, I met my daughter you silly girl.”
“What you have a daughter.”
“What’s her name?” She said in sing song voice
“Alex”
“That’s pretty, how old”
“6”
“Awww so why you upset?”
“I’m never going see her again.”
“Oh I’m sorry.”
“It’s ok.”
“OH well than who’s that?”
“Alex” he said confused
“How, why did you come back?”
“Ghastly bespoke and Kenspeckle Grouse convinced me, well technically they gave me lecture on respect, so now I’m here.”
“Well aren’t you going to give me a hug?”
“I would it’s just that............................... you stink.”
“Please tell how you fell in love and got her to break your heart in a few days cause I know this is not all me.”
“My life does not revolve around women.”
“Really...............................”
“Don’t say it.”He said leaving
“Where you going”
“To bath.”
