Chapter two- The baby, The promise made
I was on the move again and heard a women yelling for them to spare her baby. I ran towards the sound and tossed my shield, mind and physical shield based off some stories I've read should be on profile as favorites, out to protect them. I heard the vampires swear and then said that she wasn't worth it and how she was half dead anyways.
After they left I walked out and saw a women around thirty holding a baby, at least a month old little thing. She turned and then asked, "Are you the one who kept the vampire's away from us?"
Nodding to her not knowing if she wanted me to talk or not she begged me, "Please, take my baby and take care of her! Please, those vampire's were right I am dying! I don't want her to grow up surrounded by vampire's or have to worry about being a servant for a vampire that will only harm her later if she does something wrong!"
Shocked I stare at her. Slowly she gets up only to fall to the ground. Grabbing her before she could fully fall I gently set her on the ground. She puts her baby in my arms.
"I haven't named her yet, please take good care of her," she whispered and I knew she was ready to pass on into the other world, heaven in other words, knowing her baby was safe.
"How do you know I will take care of her and protect her from any vampire that will come along?" I hade to ask before she was gone.
"Because you would die before you would let a vampire get near an innocent child," she whispered with her last breath before she was gone from this world onto the next.
Shutting the dead mother of the child I now held I looked at the child and smiled sadly at the little girl hidden in the bundle of blankets her mother was able to snatch.
"Charlotte, I will protect you at all cost even if I have to die to protect you I will. If I have to become a slave for vampires to be able to keep you alive and away from vampire's I will. You will be safe," I promised to the still sleeping child.
Holding her to my chest I ran from her dead mother. I ran until it was dark and found a nice spot to sleep on. Laying down I curled my body around the baby and cooed to her lovingly. Motherly.
I woke up feeling the danger I and my child were in. I opened my eyes and leaped up clutching Charlotte to me and wrapped my shield around me and the child.
I couldn't see or hear where the danger was, but knew something was coming this way. Charlotte woke up crying out and fighting in her sleep. Keeping my shield up while cooing and rocking on my heels to get her to be calm was really easy.
When I looked up I saw eight golden eyed vampires staring at me and Charlotte. Holding her closer to me I spun and ran leaping over logs and swerving around trees.
Soon I saw the vampires getting closer. Soon I caught on to what they were doing. Stopping I tossed my shield out and felt someone standing before me in my shield besides me and my baby.
Looking up I saw the vampire that I heard whispers of him being the God of War. He retched out and I held Charlotte closer to me and ran past him only to come to a clearing with a large house mostly made of glass in the middle. Gasping I spun around and saw they all stood their watching me.
Shaking I felt something trying to push into my mind. Snarling I shoved my shield out and saw as the vampires jumped back hissing as my shield came in contact with their rock skin.
The God of War stood inside and moved towards me.
"Get the hell away from me," I snarled out of fear and knew the promise I made would be useless against the God of War.
"You're afraid of me, why are you afraid of me?" he asked his voice so compelling and it sparked my lust.
Shivering I looked at Charlotte and held her closer to me and stepped back.
"I won't hurt the child, I wouldn't harm an innocent," he whispered and when I looked up I was looking at his chest.
Remember the promise, I heard echoing in my mind and I back peddled away from him shaking and then spoke.
"Just let us go, please," I begged and pulled my shield back and wrapped it all around Charlotte as she woke up. She opened her eyes and looked into my brown eyes, gasping she retched up to touch my face. Smiling sadly at her I held her hand to me and kissed her tiny hand.
Someone snarled and I ran not wanting to know who the vampire was snarling at. I ran right into cold arms. Looking up I looked up into the God of War's golden eyes and then realized how close his face was to mine.
Squirming I tried to get away only to have him pull my face to his and kiss me. Gasping at the lust that took control of me his tongue slipped into my mouth. Crumpling I passed out in his arms, still holding Charlotte.
I woke up in a bed and when I looked around I didn't see Charlotte. A moment later I heard Charlotte scream.
Thank you for reading and let me know what you think!
