Eben and Stella Oleson sat beside the ocean. The sun was soon to come up. Supposedly Eben would turn to dust, so the legend said.
After the horror that had occurred in the Barrow Eben and Stella realized their problems hadn't been so bad after all. But Marlow and the vampires were gone and the Barrow was safe, but that still didn't help Eben's ever impending demise. Stella reached over and caressed Ebens bloody cheek. Then they kissed. "Turn me" she whispered.
"No, it's not natural" Eben told her.
"But you did it!" she exclaimed
"To save to town".
"Still, I want to go with you! I don't want to be alone". Eben was silent. He didn't know what to say.
"Maybe nothing will happen" he said suddenly. Maybe I'll be fine, I mean I ejected it into myself".
"Maybe" Stella replied. It's a chance I don't want to take though, if you turn to dust what am I suppose to do?
"I don't think I will" Eben assured her. "Lets go back now" he said.
"Are you sure?". It's kind of peaceful out here".
"After what happened I say anythings peaceful" Eben laughed.
Crying noise "What was that!" Stella cried.
"Sounds like a child crying" Eben replied.
"Think we should check it out? Stella asked.
"Probably" Eben said.
Eben and Stella got up and dusted themselves off. The sun was now rising in the sky. Eben hadn't turned to dust. Stella threw herself into Eben's arms. "You're alright!" she yelled.
"I told you!" he said. Now lets go see what that noise was.
"Alright!" she said. Walking back towards the town of Barrow Eben and Stella followed the crying sound coming to a stop by the eatery. This is where the sound was coming from. Eben turned the corner, there on the ground under the shed lay a infant wrapped in crudely made blankets. "what is it?" Stella asked peeking around Eben's shoulder. "It's an infant" he replied.
"Poor thing" said Stella. who would leave a defenselss infant out in the snow?
"It's weird" Eben said. "Nobody in the Barrow was pregnant" So who's baby is this?
"I have an idea" Stella said. "What if one of the Vampires had a baby while in the Barrow. That would explain where it came from.
"Check the teeth" Eben instructed. Stella did as he had asked.
"Yep" she said. Definitly a vampire.
"What should we do with it?" she asked.
"Kill it I guess" Eben replied. What else can we do?
"Raise it" I mean why not? It's kind of cute.
"Are you crazy!" did you see what those other Vampires did to our town? Our home, Our friends?"
"But this ones just a baby". Maybe we can teach it our ways. I always wanted a baby.
"If we keep that thing what do you think the rest of the town will think? Eben warned her.
"You're a vampire now" she said. What do you think they'll do to you?"
"I turned to save our assses!" Eben told her.
"Still you're now one of them, you'll crave like they do!".
"Alright you win". We can keep it. But if anything goes wrong.
"I know" she said.
Night fell over the Barrow. Isaac the towns new doctor examined the baby. "It seems heathy to me" he told Eben and Stella. Well as far as I can see, I don't know much about Vampires but the kid seems in good shape. Oh and it's a boy.
"I think I'll call him Jericho" Stella told Eben.
"Okay" he agreed. I like it.
