All Chapters of The Hybrid Daughter : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I woke up the following morning, I walked into my closet and dressed in my school uniform. A white blouse with a green and gray plaid skirt, a gray blazer to match. I curled my hair. I headed down the stairs to the sound of my mother singing in the kitchen. I miss hearing her sing. She has not done this since I was a child. It is a wonderful sound. I do not know anything which she is singing right now. It sounds like it is in a different language. It is good to hear her voice again. I walk into the kitchen, and I am baffled to see everything that is going on. She is cooking, but everything is moving on its own. How in the hell is this happening? This is not normal! Is she using magic? I mentally slap myself in the head. Magic is not real. Magic does not exist. I have heard ancient stories of magic but, that’s just childish folklore designed to scare tourists. There is no factual evidence to support the theory of magic, witches, black cats and hocus pocus being real. I care

I walked away from the dress shop, I stopped to look at my map and make sure I was heading in the right direction. I walked in the direction the map was suggesting. When I arrived, I saw a cute older lady inside with a dusting brush. The bookstore seems quaint and antique. I was looking for a vintage book that I heard Hunter used to love as kid. The book is very old, it was published in 1821 so perhaps his grandmother used to read it to him? I only heard him mention it to my mother. Father’s Day is soon, and I want to get him a gift. It is called “The Two Doves and The Owl.” I walk into the bookstore; I begin to browse. When I cannot find anything, I inquire about the book. The elder lady greeted me warmly. I could tell she was a very sociable person, and loved to chatter with her customers when she was able to.“Oh, Two Doves and The Owl? That is very vintage. I do have a few copies. Not upstairs here but downstairs in my antique section. Let me show you.” I smiled and began to follo

I clutched the seat while I sat in the car as he drove down the street. Thank heavens the roadway is strangely deserted. I looked over at him, and he still had a murderous expression on his face. I stared at his face and felt a sense of calm Passover me. I do not know how, but Henry found me miles away from Cambridge and in dire need. How in the hell did he make those men float in the air then tear them apart? I am trying to block the image from my head. I also cannot believe that he is here, he found me in a dire situation and came when I needed someone the most. “I should’ve ripped their bloody heads off!”“No, you should not! You did not need to kill them!”“They touched you! The things they had planned for you! I was not going to stand by and see that happen!” “I appreciate you saving me, I don’t want to imagine what might have happened if you didn’t.”“Why were you walking alone?!” “I did not mean for it to happen! I had just gone to get a gift for my stepfather, I did not ask

A week later, following the incident, I have not seen or heard of Henry since then. He promised that he would wait for me to be ready for him and attend Cambridge. Something tells me though that he is not going to be able to wait. My mother did not have time to answer my questions, she apologized that with her business booming, she barely has time for herself, she promised to explain one day everything to me.Life feels like it is just getting started, and I cannot wait! I see my friends as we arrive at the school and head into the school to ready myself for the ceremony which is my rite of passage. I spot Cynthia and Mildred settling into their ceremonial robes, and wave to them."Hey Girls!" I smiled and called them."Molly!" "I can't believe that we are officially done!" Cynthia said with tears in her eyes."I know, I feel the same way, I will miss you so much" I tell them."Well, speak for yourself, bitches! Molly, you cannot get rid of me when I am your roommate at Cambridge" s

My mother has dear caught in the headlights look."What did we do wrong, Luci?" My mother's mouth gapes like a fish out of water."What did we do wrong? Where did we go wrong? We have not heard from you in Twenty Years!" My mother is pale as a ghost.He continues reprimanding her "Now, I find out that I have a brilliant Granddaughter who is graduating top of her class, and you had no thought to even tell us! Let alone that you are in a committed relationship with an important person! who happens to own one of the companies I WORK FOR!!!!" He raises is voice at her.His voice is laced with confusion and pain. I stare in shock at the situation in front of me, my mind is spinning with the realization that I am meeting my grandfather."How did you find out?" she asks softly."THAT IS WHAT YOU ASK OR HAVE TO SAY!!!" He roars.She looks down ashamed, she is the definition of a small girl being scolded and sent to her room with no dinner."I found out through one of the teachers! We have been
