Hayley's taking out her aggression with her hubby, Jackson, on Tristan

he's screaming away

the hybrid in the room wipes the blood away "Don't be such a baby, or I'll give you something to really cry about"

"You sound like one of those mothers from the TV" I laugh

Hayley rolls her eyes "That is what moms sound like, Samael. You would know if you had one"

"I've got you" I shrug "Closest thing I'll ever have to a mommy"

Tristan is glaring at us both

"It is a shame because I was struck by your beauty when I saw you at the gala. And now, after this affront to my person, I'll be forced to pluck those lovely almond eyes from your perfectly shaped skull"

my eyes graze him "You should write a book"

Elijah walks in looking amused

"My goodness, I could watch this forever..." he walks over and pushes his forehead yanking his head back "...if only my sister wasn't trapped in the bottom of the ocean" he lets him go "Let me ask you again-- the coordinates, please"

the man tied up groans "Mmm. If I tell you, you'll just kill me"

"Ya but it would be less painful" I put out there "If Elijah would let me try a spell we would already have the damn coordinates"

"That spell could kill him" Elijah sighs "Freya has a spell that is not as dark as yours"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This poor vampire looks dead but not talking

"He's as weak as I can make him. If I push further, I might kill him" Freya says

Tristan gasps "Weak as I am, you still won't take from me what you seek"

I whistle while reading my book on circulatory system

"I could get it"

Elijah sighs towards me "It's an unpleasant thing, delving into such a depraved and repellent mind. Do it, Samael"

with a smile I touch his head diving into his mind in the most excruciating way possible "CEPHEUS, the airline Cepheus"

the door crashes open and some women goes to hit me over the head

----black-----

waking up It's all dark

"Shouldn't have done what you did Samael" Tristan's voice says "You're going to join your aunt in ocean. Although, your coffin is a little more sealed then hers it will take longer for you to drown" then there is a scrapping sound then a plunk

he just pushed me into the water and I'm freaking falling

.

I don't know how long it's been but the casket is almost full. It's just about to cover my nose

they're not going to save me because they don't care. I'm going to die.

I did hit the bottom ages ago and now I'm just here close to dead. I've read about drowning. What is really painful is when someone holds there breath because their brain won't let them breath. Then when said person runs out of air and has to breath the water in. It doesn't hurt after that--the human body slips into the sweet oboes of death.

there it goes and covers my nose. I wonder how long I can hold my breath before I have to open my mouth and I die. What will happen when I can't get blood to make the change?

the coffin starts moving up

WHAT'S HAPPENING

a splash is heard probably from me breaking the water

it's getting harder to hold my breath my mouth opens

crack

the coffin opens it's DAD

HE ACTUALLY CAME FOR ME

his hands go around my waist as he pick me up out of the water

my nose goes into his neck as tears pool out of my eyes and I start coughing up water

"I'm sorry" dad cries in my hair "I won't ever let anyone touch you again"

I finally am able to breath right

"don't leave me, please, I'm sorry daddy. I'll do better"

he wraps his arms tighter around me and kisses my forehead "You're perfect the way you are, Sam"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been following dad around for a couple days. With Cami because everyone's trying to kill her as well.

Rebekah is back but apparently has a scull on her wrist that makes her angry and murderous.

now Elijah has us all dressed in holiday clothes

Freya has me in some ridiculous outfit

we also have a Christmas tree which is equally ridiculous

"Don't be so pouty" Freya says "You look cute"

"I'm not cute I'm handsome" I snap "And this outfit and tree is stupid"

Hayley walks in with Hope and her doggy husband. "This is like your first Christmas isn't it"

I frown and walk towards Hope opening my hands

"Bubba" she giggles reaching back to me "Let go need bubba"

her mommy lets her go into my arms where we sit on the couch

Elijah walks over "Merry Christmas, little one, Samael" then he kisses Hopes head

Rebekah walks in wearing a red holiday cocktail dress

"Well, Nik, you are positively merry tonight." she stops looking between Cami and I "Tell me is it the therapy or the fact your son doesn't hate your guts"

then dad's face looks horrified "Oh, no"

there's a bowl full of burning wood

"Yes, I know it's not exactly a bonfire, but I improvised. Come on, It's tradition"

I sigh "This is not the thing where we write our wishes for luck is it? Because it obvious doesn't work. I clearly remember not writing that I wish to almost drown" you did wish your dad would love you though "And we just did it last year"

"That's the thing about traditions" Rebekah snarks back "It happens every year"

dad sighs "I also don't recall wishing for an influx of enemies, and yet year after year..."

Elijah smirks at us "How odd. The both of you forever on Santa's naughty-list"

"Well, better be on the naughty list then being a stick in the mud like you"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope has finished unwrapping her gifts and now is playing with her new tricycle

Freya gave me another grimoire but that was that extent. That was the first gift I've ever gotten. It was sweet.

dad walks over with a present

"Here"

"For me" I ask looking at it "Why"

he sits beside me "I know I'm one of the worlds worst father. I want to start over if you'll let me. I want to be better"

my hand grasp the present "Thank you, dad"

his eyes shine at me as I open the gift

it's a MacBook Pro with Retina Display the top laptop out right now

"I figured you could transfer all those journals and notes over to this and you could learn more" he says then stares at me "If you don't like-"

"I love it" I cut him off "My first gift from you my dad"

he gulps nodding at me "Good"

Hayley comes over with a hyena stuffed animals

"Since Hyena's are your favorite animals. I got the real looking one because I knew you would go one a rant if it didn't look real"

"How do you know Hyena's are my favorite?" I question "I've never told anyone"

she rolls her eyes

"You have about a million books on animals but most of them are about hyena's. Hope also told me"

I smile taking the stuffed animal hugging it "Thank you"
