An hour earlier

We were on our way to have lunch when I got a call from dad telling me to come over to his side. It'd been a long time since I got a call, so I wondered what could be so urgent for him to want to see me. I excused myself from my friends and hurriedly went to meet him. On my way to entering the big mansion that had been built for generations, I met with Isabelle, who ran to hug me. Isabelle has been my childhood friend for decades. Now we've been together since small and looking at her now I realized how she has grown into a beautiful woman with her long brown hair and her blue eyes which seem to carry a lot of emotions. She takes after her mom, Ella, who has been a family friend of mine for a long time.

" How have you been doing?" I asked her and she answered.

"You left without telling me how fair we were supposed to tell each other everything" she said, putting on an annoyed face. Here comes Isabelle again, always not satisfied with every answer I gave her. " I told you I had to go because it's important to me. ""I am sorry I should have told you," I said, hoping she would accept my apology this time around. She looked at me for a while before saying

"Go, your dad is waiting for you," she said.

"Does this mean you have finally forgiven me?"I said this time with a pleading face.

" Yes, now go before I change my mind" she said.

"Yes ma'am" I said. She chuckled at my response. I rushed inside just to find dad pacing around, which is unlikely for him.

"Dad, I am here," I said, getting his attention. He doesn't call me unless he wants to send me an errand or something sort of to be precise. We don't get along too well. It's like he sees me as someone who is incapable, incapable of taking up the throne after him. I know he has other sons and I also know that I can't please him no matter what I do.

" You are finally here," he said, acknowledging my presence.

"sit" he ordered

"I am not going to sit anywhere until you tell me what is happening," I said, knowing it was going to make him angry.

"I fear the prophecy made by Tamara is near, the boundary between our supernatural world and the human world is slowly falling apart," he said with a bit of worry.

In the past, a prophecy had been made claiming that the dark days are coming which is going to claim a lot of lives.

As far as I can remember, the last time something like this happened was a long time ago. It created a lot of trouble, one of the reasons I lost my mom in the war, a war I can never forget. He was betrayed by Thomas, his best friend, someone who destroyed the harmony between humans and the supernatural world and which, of course, caused a lot of lives. He wanted to be the ruler of the supernatural world, so with the help of the dark witches he was able to gain a lot of power. He took the souls of many of the humans and filled them with dark power to also fight the war so he would be able to bring down this man, but with the help of his army and knights, he was able to defeat him and, with the help of Tamara, the white witch who was on his side he was able to seal him in the underground, get rid of the dark witches and fix back the boundary which he broke. Looking at the man who has been my dad for years but has never acknowledged me as his son, I wondered why he had called me all of a sudden.

"What do you want me to do?"I asked him.

"It's time to prove your worth, son, if you can help me with this and are lucky, then maybe you will have a chance to the throne,"he said, trying to sound reasonable.

" I don't care about your throne anymore, so you can count me out of this" I said as I turned to leave.

" You won't leave this place unless you do what I say," he said, using a harsh tone.

"And why would I"I said, questioning him.

" Because it's not a request but a command" he said with authority.

"Look, I know you still grief over your mom's death, but you can't continue to do this anymore, David, you need to grow up. "You are no longer a child, and you have responsibilities now" he said yes he is right, but that doesn't mean he can control me the way he wants to, and also he also caused my mom's death.

" You know what, maybe it was your fault. Mom died. "If you haven't trusted the wrong, maybe she will still be alive" I said, spilling out everything with both anger and bitterness. This time I knew I had hit the limit.

"And what right do you have to accuse me of such?" he bellowed in anger and told the guards to keep me in a dark room where prisoners are kept. This isn't the first time I have been locked in a place like this. Pounding the iron gate with my wrist, I groaned in frustration as I remembered the pain that had been deep inside my heart. My dad is a pure vampire, but my mom is human, which makes me half-warm-blooded and half-cold-blooded.

*Flashback*

"Make sure you hide and don't come out no matter what mama will come back for you okay" a young woman who is in distress is seen trying to protect her child from getting hurt. This young boy knew something was wrong and was too scared to leave his mama. "Will you come back?" he asked. "Yes I will," she said, reassuring the young boy who seemed scared. Then she hugged him and kept him in a secret place only she and her husband knew before leaving him and that was the last day he saw his mama. His mama was the only person who loved and cared for him and losing her really hurt him.

For those wondering what St Patrick's school is like, the school has been built for years under the name of David's dad, Patrick. The school was built to bridge the gap between the human and the supernatural world, since after the last war the school was created to bring peace between the two worlds.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

JASON POV;

I decided to go to the school restaurant today. It's been a long time since I last went there. Damon and Skyler were shocked and decided to leave me to my choice. Not only when Skyler said" good luck lover boy" I tried to protest, but the truth is that I wanted to see the beauty who caught my eye today. Entering the restaurant as usual caught a lot of attention not like I liked it, but can it be helped to see a guy who is as handsome as me? I spotted her afar across where I was .

"Hello, can I join you for lunch?" I could see the surprise etched on her beautiful face. "Am Jason " I offered, introducing myself.

She was reluctant at first. "Am Rose, and thanks for the other time," she said. Wow, I love her voice.

"Perhaps you can buy me lunch someday to show your appreciation," I said as I winked at her. She looked at me like I had said the funniest word.

"Well____" she tried responding.

"Yes, yes," her friend replied.

"You don't have to reply for me, Stella, I have a mouth," she said to the red-haired girl beside her, making her shut up before facing her attention towards me.

"Well, I am not sure about the lunch, Jason, but I will think about that. For now, you are free to have lunch with us anytime you want," she said.

"Really, can I come here any time to have lunch with you?" I said, wanting to be sure.

"Yes,"she replied.

"You have beautiful eyes"I said, which caught her by surprise. She choked on the drink she was sipping.

"Sorry what?" she asked.

"Bye see you tomorrow, Rose" I winked at her, seeing her innocent reaction.
