"You look so handsome Ando!" I said, as he walked in.
"Yes you do, you are going to have a great time. By the way, who is this secret girl you are taking?"
"Uh..."Ando began, just as the doorbell rang "Bye mum and dad."
As Ando opened the door and greeted his date I saw someone I did not expect.
"Wait Ando....no you will not go with..." I started to say, but was stopped short when he shut the door and they got in the limo. "Oh Watcher no! Did he really just leave with...."
"Daisy? Yes..." Colton interrupted.
"This is bad, we need to do something!"
Ando's P.O.V.
"Why don't we stop here, get changed and maybe grab some food," I said, pointing to a a store/gas station that was just outside of Starlight Shores.
After changing, eating, and fueling up we were back on the road.
"So, how do you know my father?" I said to Daisy, as we sped down the interstate.
"My father is Ricardo's oldest friend and VP of the company and coven."
"How long has he been missing?"
"He has been missing for 17 years. We cannot find him, even after searching his home."
"That is a long time, are you guys absolutely positive that he isn't dead?"
"Yes because that is not possible. He is an original."
"An original? I am the son of an original, I must be powerful," I said, as Daisy looked at me with a big smile and nodded.
"Look," She said, as we turned into a driveway "We are here, this is your father's house."
"This place is amazing."
"Yes it is, I remember spending many summers here."
"Well, lets start looking. Search every bit of the house."
We searched well into the night before reaching the downstairs area that was almost all jail cells.
"Nothing," I said, becoming irritated.
"He has to be here, this is the last place he was. We need to..."
"Wait, look at this," I said, feeling along a wall that felt different than the other walls.
Suddenly a door appeared and creaked open.
"A secret door, of course!" Daisy said, becoming excited.
We made our way through the doorway and secret room before suddenly stopping in our tracks.
"Is that...?" I began
"Your father....Ricardo!" Daisy said, as we walked up to the lifeless body laying on a slab of cold stone with a strange knife buried deep into his chest. "How did they know!?"
"Know what?"
"That knife is the only thing that can kill an original!" She began "But there is a catch, it has to stay in for them to stay....non-living."
"I will fix that," I said, walking up to Ricardo and yanking the knife out.
"Now we wait until he wakes up," Daisy said, sitting down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Something is very wrong!" Calypso said, fear clear in her eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lexi's P.O.V.
*Phone rings and I answer quickly*
"Ando?!" Are you okay? What's going on, we have been calling you!" I said, as Colton came running into the kitchen "NO NO NO!!! You didn't.....why would you?!" I yelled, before dropping the phone when Ando hung up.
"What is going on? Is he okay?" Colton asked.
"He found Ricardo, Daisy helped him and....he...he took the knife out! Ricardo is waking up!
"What are we going to do?"
"I need to get Calypso here....you need to get Anika and Kayla here, probably Nick, Ino, and Loka as well," I said as I hung up the wind chime Calypso had given me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ando's P.O.V.
"So what exactly happened to you? My father has been worried," Daisy said, as she handed Ricardo a drink.
"Your father, who is your father?
"Ronan...don't you remember?"
"I'm sorry, I am still trying to recover, yes of course I do. Thank the Watcher my dear friend is still alive. Two vampires from our coven turned on me and the woman I was keeping prisoner stabbed me with that knife," Ricardo explained.
"They turned on you! How or why would they even do that??"
"I honestly don't know, I should have been able to sense it. But when I find them...." Ricardo said, before stopping short and looking at me. "Wait, do I know you? What is your name?"
"No sir you don't, my name is Ando...Ando Abruzzi."
"Abruzzi! Who is your mother?"
"Lexi Abruzzi, you know the woman you kept captive and raped," I said, becoming surprisingly irritated, I think because I didn't know everything. "She told me that she had to escape, she was afraid of what you might do to her if you found out she was pregnant....afraid of what you might do to me."
Ricardo sat in silence, just staring at me and sipping his drink.
"Wow, I can't believe this turn of events," Ricardo said, before looking at Daisy. "and you brought him here?"
"Yes sir," Daisy said, a look of worry coming across her face.
"Take us to the coven house, I need to speak with Ronan," Ricardo said, before noticing Daisy's look of fear. "Ando and I cannot teleport yet, neither of us are strong enough. But you are, I know you can do this and you will."
