Daddy?

The Charmed Demigods: Mixed Heritages

Chapter 15:

Daddy?

Eve Halliwell

Eve's heart was in her mouth as the tree arched around the stridding man. She could sense from the nervous energy in her stomach that it was her father. The man she has never seen, ever. She didn't know whether to cry or scream. She could see some resemblance. She had his dimples. She now despised her dimples.

Dennis was the first one to react and got to his knees as the God neared. "Lord Horme. It is the utmost pleasure to be in your presense"

The god gestured for Dennis to stand, which he did "One thing I never liked was lick asses" he said with a sarcastic-ish smile.

"Father?" Eve said and took a step forward.

"Correct, my dear daughter. You can call me dad if you wish" he said with a now gentle smile towards his daughter.

"You may be my father. But you're not my dad. Not one word. Not one have I heard about you. AT ALL" Eve replied with frustration rising in her voice.

"Lord Zeus told me you'd be looking for me. And obviously I wanted to meet you, my dear. Don't think badly of me. It wasn't my choice to not be in your life. It's Ancient Olympian Law. Zeus' decree. I must oblige, you have to understand" Horme said and pleaded for forgiveness.

"I understand. It wasn't your fault. But I needed some fatherly influence in my life. But at least I'm surrounded by people who share my pain" she said and hugged Poppy and Paul.

"You're Boreas' son, right? You kind of look like him, kid. Ice cool looks. And you are..." he looked at Poppy and his eyes widened "Artemis... you were right" he said and looked to the moon appearing in the sky.

"What is it? You know who her mother is, don't you?!" Paul shouted to the god.

"It's so recognisable I'm surprised Lethe went ahead with her attack. Even Anchiale was stupid enough to try her hand. Prometheus was wise to give you this. Poppy is probably the deadliest of you all" Horme said.

"That is true, Monsieur Effortless. She has strong lineage, but she is only a child" said a voice coming through the trees. Then between the barks of two trees appeared a woman in a light blue gown.

"Did I not send Phrice after you, Aergia? When will you learn to just leave me alone"
