Disclaimer: I own the idea for the story; everything else is property of Guillermo Del Toro and Mike Mignola.
Author's Notes: Yes, this is another point-of-view story...I'm not sure why I'm so big on them currently, but anyways, I'm still new to the layout of the site and am working on how to incorporate parts as chapters correctly so I hope this format works out better for everyone and that everything fits into place as it should; my apologizes ahead of time if there are still any glitches with the way this works out. I plan to monitor this as soon as the second chapter is up so as to make sure everything is going correctly; as always, I look forward to any reviews both good or bad. :)
AN Continued: My apologizes for such a short first chapter, the others will have a bit more detail I promise (however, they will still be relatively short compared to other chapters over all; I just wanted a nice flow of things for the readers considering this was a single point of view) , there just wasn't a very long transition from when we find out about the pregnancy to 'Liz' actually testing so that will be reflexed here.
"Liz, you're pregnant!" I hear Abe say to me, "No, I'm not!" I quickly respond because I know for sure that I can't be; for a few reasons actually – because being pregnant requires one to have sex with another person and I haven't slept with Red in at least three weeks and I only did it then as part of making up over a fight we had, which is another reason – couples who love each other and can take care of children get pregnant…Red and I fight almost all the time about toothbrushes and how he has too much stuff, we can barely take care of ourselves much less think about taking care of another person all together and all of this isn't even including the fact that I can't be pregnant because…well, because I don't want to be! I'm not good with kids! Ah, what was Abe thinking saying such a thing?
"Yes; you are." – damn him and his confident tone of voice, what happened to us all deciding he wasn't going to use his powers on us?
I want to respond, but the next thing I know we're being swarmed by billions of tooth fairies and before long I'm finding myself on fire because I can't control my reaction to the bites they're trying to produce on me. Yet another reason I can't be responsible for children…my power doesn't create life it takes life; what am I suppose to tell Red when he wonders why they died while in my care? I'm still learning how to control it; I can't a baby around!
It's not long before all I can see, feel, or smell is fire related; I know I have to kill the fairies, it's our only option but still…still part of me wishes their was another way because what if – just what if I end up being right for all the wrong reasons and after all of this I'm not pregnant? Why do I even care so much all of a sudden?
I can feel my power over taking me, I know it won't be long before I black out and don't remember anything…it always happens that way, but for a brief moment I do not Red's location – next to a window and I warn him to stay away; and then…nothing.
It's not long after I learn he didn't listen, he never listens to common sense and now everyone knows about us, how could he? He just thinks about himself; we can't have kids, he's not responsible enough. Abe has to be wrong, he has to and damn it, I will prove that he is for everyone's sanity.
