Father and daughter
Cory’s Pov
I was confused and scared at the same time, how was this possible?
How did the wound dry up so quickly?
“Does it mean Luna is not a human? Is my suspicion correct?” Many thoughts passed through my mind, and I could also see the confused look and her face. She didn’t understand what was happening, her eyes were searching for answers just like mine.
“Dad, what is happening? Am I dead already?” Luna asked me, and burst into uncontrollable tears.
“You are not dead, baby girl, everything will be alright,” Father assured me, but it wasn’t working. The more he talked, the scarier it became.
I was shivering in fear, I was really sad, and my father tried to calm me down.
“My Luna, it is alright, I am sure that everything will be alright,” he said gently and embraced me.
“But Father, how can this be possible? I am sure that man shot at me, I felt it, he shot me! So how come the wound has suddenly disappeared? How is this possible?” I asked him different questions curiously, but my father could only sign because he didn’t have an answer to any of my questions.
“Oh! Daddy, I am so scared! Do you think Mom will disown me when she finds out? Oh no, what will my friends say? Randy will be so scared!” I panicked and broke down into another round of self-pity.
My dad just kept staring at me, he didn’t console me like before, he just allowed me to cry out my heart.
And I did just that.
After crying for hours, I voluntarily kept quiet, and I stared into my father’s eyes.
“Father, even if I am a witch, it means that one of my parents is also not a human being! Are you and mother sorcerers, because if you are not, then how was I born?” I asked him without thinking straight.
My Father’s eyes widened in shock, my questions must have freaked him out.
“Luna, what are you saying? What do you mean? Who is putting ideas in your head?” He asked me with a deep frown, “Are you trying to say that your mum and I ain’t your real parents? Do you mean that your mom cheated on me? Are you accusing her of being an unfaithful partner?” Father asked me, he looked really angry.
I also kept quiet and reasoned what I had just said, and indeed, my words were kind of stupid, I was wrong to have said that.
“Dad, I am so sorry, I was so worried that I ended up spouting rubbish! I am sorry for thinking outside the box!” I apologized and bowed my head soberly.
I could feel another round of tears and my eyes hurt so badly.
“You are a special child. But don’t worry, I will make sure I get answers to your questions. Don’t think too much about it, and make sure you don’t tell your friends, we can not trust anybody now,” Father advised me, and I nodded in agreement.
“But, who are those guys anyways, and why are they holding dangerous weapons? Could they be with the police department?” I asked my father curiously.
“I promise to answer your questions very soon,” Father said and pecked my forehead.
“Okay,” I hummed and hugged him tightly.
“By the way, what happened exactly before?” Father asked me curiously.
“Hmm,” I sighed sadly, “I was in the club hall when a man suddenly…. ”
“No, that is not what I meant, I mean what happened back at home, the time you screamed in your room?” he interrupted my sentence before I could complete my words.
“Did I scream back in my room?” I asked curiously, and I could see the shocked expression on my father’s face.

Luna’s question confirmed my doubts about Ella. I knew that something was off when she asked me to leave the room, but I chose to believe her because she lied about her stupid prayers.
“So am I daydreaming? Or am I correct? ” I wondered aloud.
“I guess you are daydreaming because I don’t remember screaming at home!” She replied and paused for a moment, “Or could it be the trauma from what just happened that made you a daydreamer?” she asked anxiously.
“Of course not love,” I replied and laughed cheerfully. “Also, can you remember what happened back at home? I need every single detail?”I asked, and she nodded her head.
I was suspecting my wife, and I had to clear my doubts.
“When I came back from school, Mother reminded me about the concert, and she asked if my dress was ready, I told her that I’ve already bought a dress, and she gave me her permission to leave,” She replied innocently, it was at that moment I knew something was wrong. Someone was messing with my daughter’s memory!
“Ella… ” I gritted my teeth and murmured under my breath.
“Dad, are you alright? Your questions are very confusing, ” my daughter looked worried, so I smiled, to assure her that I was alright.
“I am fine sweetie, it’s just that, I am suspecting El….” I paused and didn’t complete my statement, because it was too early to raise unnecessary suspicions between mother, and daughter.
Ella was still suspect, and I couldn’t wait to question her.
I know that I am not a saint, and I also have my secrets, but I am willing to dig deeper into hers.
“That aside, Luna, when did you change your dress? I clearly remember that this wasn’t the
dress you wore before leaving the house!” I asked her, and I finally calmed down. I had noticed her dress when I carried her from the floor, but I just didn’t complain about it.
Luna looked surprised, and she faked a smile, “Oh Dad! I am sorry, it won’t happen again, ” she apologized and closed her pretty eyes.
I burst into laughter, “Daughter, are you in need of a boyfriend?”
“Daddy! ” Luna winced and stood up from the bed.
She looked so cute, and I laughed, “Sweetie you are just seventeen years old, why are you behaving like an adult?” I asked her amidst my laughter.
“Your words are ridiculous! Don’t you think that I am too young to have a boyfriend? Move over, I have you, what do I need a boyfriend for, anyway?” she coaxed me with her sweet words.
“Okay, I guess you are right, ” I smiled slyly. “Are you hungry? Should I get you something to eat?” I asked her and stood up from bed.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“Well, I am not hungry b…” She wasn’t even done talking when her belly growled loudly.
And I laughed at her, and she also laughed. It was a pleasurable moment for us, and we laughed out our sorrow and pains
After a few minutes, I ordered food.
Although I acted right and fine, deep down, I suspected my wife. Something fishy was going on, and I couldn’t wait to unravel the mystery.
After eating, Luna took a quick shower, and we both left the hotel.
Throughout our journey back home, I wasn’t feeling alright, and my mind was not balanced.
“How am I going to approach Ella? What will be her reaction? How will Luna feel?” My mind kept reasoning and wondering.
