No one can help who they fall in love with. Even if their love is forbidden by man, nothing could break the true love between the woman and the silver-haired creature that came to her every night. Nobody knew about there relationship and they prayed that no one would find out.
"My dearest," A young, curly haired woman spoke in the darkness of her night-filled room. The moonlight gently bathed her room in a blue glow. A silhouette stood in front of the moon lit window. "I…I need to tell you something, but it's hard to say,"
"What is it, darling?" A dark, deep voice came from the silhouette standing at the window. The young woman shifted on her bed. She stood up from her bed and walked slowly to the tall figure. Every step she took she could see him more clearly. His tall, muscular form was being draped over by a long black, leather coat. The moon illuminated his silver, long hair. The young woman grabbed her love's clawed hand gently and placed it over her abdomen. He smiled with his fangs popping over his bottom lip which always made his love giggle. "I see…" His smile soon faded and he looked away.
"What's wrong, Adriel?" The woman asked. When she spoke her love's name, he turned to her.
"Malia, I left you with something that will ruin your life forever," Adriel spoke softly to her as he grasped her hands gently. "Humans will find out and they will try to hurt us, you know we have a forbidden love,"
"I know, but I don't care. Adriel, I love you and want to bear your child," The young woman spoke gently. Tears began to form in her eyes. "My love, do you not want this baby?"
Adriel looked away sadly. "Malia, I am a vampire and it's against mankind to be together," He turned back to his love with a smile. "Of course I want this baby, but you do realize how people will react when you give birth,"
Malia nodded in reply. "Yes, I do." Suddenly, she looked up with a smile. "We could run away together. Just you, me and the baby," Adriel shook hid head no.
"I'm sorry, my love, but your family would be too sad if you left them," Adriel placed his hand on her stomach and rubbed it gently. Adriel looked up at Malia. "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have bared you this problem,"
"What are you saying?" Malia asked Adriel in a calming voice.
"He won't be accepted on either the human side or the vampire side. He'll be an outcast and he will be punished for that,"
"Punished?" Malia asked confused. "I don't know what you mean,"
"I know what it's like to be a vampire. No human trusts you," Adriel replied.
"I trust you," Malia exclaimed. Adriel smiled and held her hands once more.
"I know you do. That's why I love you, but not every human is as loving and caring as you. Our son will have a rough life, I hope you know that," Adriel explained to his love until suddenly there was a knock on the young woman's door.
"Malia, who are you talking to?" The landlord asked in her frail, old voice to the door.
"I have to go," Adriel whispered in his love's ear as he took of into the night though the window.
:9 months later:
No one spoke to Malia. No one would speak to her after they realized that her baby was fathered by a vampire. They were disgusted and sickened at what she had done. In her home, what she did was considered a sin.
It was late at night; the baby sleeping in the crib next to Malia began to cry. Malia began to waken so she could coo her son. Her eyes opened partially and she saw a figure holding and cradling the baby in his arms. The baby had already went back to sleep.
"Adriel, is that you?" Malia asked still half-asleep. The man turned around and walked over to the woman.
"Yes, my love," Adriel smiled.
Malia smiled at Adriel who was smiling and cradling the little baby. "This is the first time you met you've met your son,"
Adriel looked back down to his new born son and smiled. "I'm sorry; you know I've been busy."
"It's been two weeks since he's been born," Malia spoke softly. She got up from the bed and hugged Adriel and the baby. "Adriel, meet your son, Liam,"
