It has been an endless wait.
Breyden has not come to yet; to say that my nerves are not killing me would be such a lie. I am being tormented by thoughts that should not be running through my mind. Lilith, who is still very much here and, much to the annoyance, refusing to move.
But is it a determination that is beginning to falter?
What is beginning to falter is that I need to see if Anastasia is okay. So it is very reluctantly that I step away from Breyden's side to go call her.
Though before I can even think of finding her, I need to gather my composure. She cannot hear that I am falling apart, not truly falling apart, but my mind is not where it should be.
So I take one rather large deep breath and count down from ten and step out of the room where I find her waiting for me.
"My god, Sebastian, are you okay?"
As I try to speak, my voice starts to tremble beyond my control. Why can I not get a hold of my emotions? I am looking weak;
The battle of the Walkers has by far the greatest battle that we as the Belmont house have fought. It not only united us as a family, but it has made us grown stronger. It taught us the valuable lesson of what a bond holds and that love above all shall always prevail.To say that it was not the most testing yet shall be a lie. Not only did it test our faith, but it also tested the limits of our minds and bodies. What else it has brought to the surface is, once, and yet again, another secret that I have been holding back on my beloved.Now I am expecting the full wrath of her disappointment to come down on me, but she has to understand that what lies in Pandora's Box is a power so great that I have been left for so many years to keep the very existence of it a secret.Now the power it holds is not truly known, but what is said is that it shall manifest whatever the desire is of the one that opens it. I have, on many occasions, felt the desire to do so myself, but
I have Breyden staring back at me with a rather ridiculous smirk on his face that I do wish that I could slap off. Now, what has the fool smiling so broadly that I do not know, but I am very sure that I shall soon find out?But, before I can even get the opportunity to hear the words coming from his mouth, I am blessed with hearing the thoughts come from my beloved's mind.Now, do I wish that I did not listen?"You are what?""Sebastian! What did I say about reading my mind.""Well, my beloved, you are not thinking particularly softly at present. Now please say that again, and I wish for it to come from your mouth."Breyden stands to make his exit from the room, but in one swift movement, I have him by the wrist, "Oh no, you don't. You are not going anywhere. Now tell me once again what the problem is.""My dear friend, it is not a problem; it is a blessing.""Do I need to remind you that I am a Vampire? I do not believe in suc
Behind me is a very pregnant Anastasia.I am rather alarmed as she clearly seems as she has indeed been pregnant for what could easily seem as four months. Now our encounter has surely not been that long ago. She should, by all reason, only be pregnant, but what should be a few weeks.So it is out of rather a concern that I lead her back to the bedroom."My beloved, how are you feeling?""Well, where should I even start. This morning I was only but plagued with what one calls morning sickness. Then after resting for several hours, I did, much to my very annoyance, realize that my clothes do not seem to fit me anymore. Now, you better start explaining to me why this child is growing so fast."I feel as she starts to dig her nails rather deeply into the skin of my hand as she we enter the room. Now, if I did not know any better, I am guessing that she is not leading me to the bed with the intention of giving me pleasure; she is, in fact, trying
It is with somewhat great difficulty as we prepare to leave the Belmont House. My beloved, rather battling with the wonder that one call morning sickness has been much to my very amusement, found herself firmly seated at the one thing that a Vampire shall never use.Now she does not hold the same sentiment of joy as me as I watch her going through these stages of what should be the most treasurable of the life of a woman. Yes, I do believe that finding your stomach turning inside out should not be seen as a joyous moment at all. But for me, the mere thought of having a part of me growing inside her belly gives me more joy than she shall ever know.So as I patiently wait for her to overcome this sudden bout of sickness, I try with the deepest parts of me to listen if I can, in fact, hear the very Vampire that is growing in her belly. Yet nothing, I am only but able to hear her rambling thoughts, most of how she shall be killing me once this pregnancy has passed.
I know the look on Morgana's face. I have seen it many times before. What she is about to say next will not be news that will be welcomed.So I pull my beloved deep into the depths of my chest, "My beloved, we shall overcome whatever it may be."After a few moments of uncomfortable silence, Morgana continues to speak, "Both shall not survive.""What do you mean that both shall not survive?""Upon birth, either mother or child shall perish," Morgana takes my beloved's hand into hers and whispers softly. "I am so sorry, my dear Anastasia."Now, if I did not know the power that Morgana possesses, then I would have taken my wrath and destroyed all that is in my path, so instead, I calmly speak again, "Is this part of the prophecy?""No, my dear Sebastian. Not both bodies can survive during childbirth. You need to understand that a powerful Vampire is born, your beloved's body might not be able to sustain.""But what if it is a human child
Absolute terror strikes me as I leap my way over to her Anastasia, "My beloved, what is wrong?""I don't know; I just felt the most incredible pain.""My beloved, let me go speak to Edward for a moment. I shall be right back.""No, please don't leave me alone. Please."With that, I hook my arm around her waist and pull her frail body. Her entire body is shaking, and she has gone paler than all fifty shades of white. My heart sinks, and I feel completely helpless; it looks as if she is in total agony, and there is a terrified look in her eyes.God, I do not know what is wrong, but I shall fix it. So for what seems a few moments, she softly whispers to me, "Sebastian, I am scared.""What do you mean, my beloved? What is wrong?""I don't know; something does not feel right.""Why don't you rest? I will get you an appointment with the Doctor first thing in the morning.""Are you going to come to lie with me?""I will
There is a great fear on the face of my beloved. The very words of the Doctor send a tremor through my body. We have been told by Morgana that there shall be difficulty with the child, but does the Doctor bring the same news as what Morgana told. Do I even ask?So I refrain from saying a word at the very moment and wait for the Doctor to speak."Sebastian, now I do understand that both Anastasia and you are Vampires, and by all truths, Anastasia should not be able to bear a child. Now what you also know is that a Vampire's body, as I understand, is frozen in time."With a brief moment, a smile appears on my broken face; his knowledge of our kind is rather intriguing, but that is not a question to ask at the current moment, so I only but nod and speak, "You are indeed correct that our bodies should be frozen in time.""And," he adds, "The organs that make you tick forward inside your body should in fact not perform. Now, something must have happened when A
…Anastasia POV…This morning I do not have the strength to do anything at all. Even the dreaded steps that I need to the bathroom every time my body decides to give in is even too much for me.Much to Sebastian's horror, I started getting really sick throughout the night. God know knows why, but I somehow think that it cannot be morning sickness.What is bad is Sebastian insisting on holding my hand every time I do. I so wish that he did not have to go through this; in fact, I do wish that I did not have to go through this. But I guess that this is the hand that we have been dealt, and even though it is incredibly unfair, I need to find that strength that Sebastian wants me to.But I can't.The sad thing is, I am going to die.So as Sebastian takes me back for what seems to be the fourth time this morning, I turn to him. I try to put on the best smile I can, but it is fake; all that is real is the burning inside that is eating
