THE AFTERTIME : PROLOGUE THE SEVENTH LAW
DISCLAIMED
"I know this is going to be hard" Lord Thierry said sadly staring at the back of his soulmate, Lady Hannah. "but it's necessary, if we don't the worlds population of all species will die out very soon. We are all that's left of life, human, vampire, witch, shapeshifter. Do you want life to die out? If you obey this law, next generation will only have to obey the Sixth Law. And so on." He concluded staring at the faces staring up at him.
The silence was so profound you could hear a pin drop. Then Mary-Lynnette Redfern stood up. "Seven Thierry? We have to have seven children? And what about interspecies? I was going to have Ash change me but now there just aren't enough humans left and I am only seventeen, you can't expect me to have children now. I'm to young." She protested.
Many other women called their approval.
Thierry cleared his throat. "I don't relish the prospect anymore than you do Mary-Lynnette. In fact I've spent the last week sleeping on the couch."
He was interrupted by Kestrel "Nice job Hannah!" which was fallowed by snickers.
"As I was saying," Thierry continued ignoring the amusement of his people "if you are, or your soulmate is a vampire, both people must become a vampire when they turn nineteen. You will still be able to have children. Hamilton here" he gestured to Nyala's soulmate, "has perfected a serum to increase fertility in made vampires."
He was interrupted again, this time by Poppy North – soon to be Poppy Rasmussan. "Thanks Hamilton, I've always wanted a baby, and even though seven is a bit much, I always wanted a big family, maybe this won't be so bad. We have a chance to start over –create a whole new world, give our children an chance to find their soulmates, not leave them in heaven or limbo… wherever they are now."
That being said, more people seemed to agree. And the seventh law was passed. It was official, every little family had to grow by seven. It was final.
