Give Me Something To Sing About Chapter 2
Pam woke the next evening to the sound of giggles and small running feet followed by an attempted growl and then squealing and screaming. She slowly cracked the door to the light tight room she was in and peered through the small space. Silently, she watched her pet, because Pam didn't need friends, and her Teacups as they ran around the common area of the suite playing a game of some sort. She quietly closed the door again and pulled out her phone to call her Maker.
"Northman"
"Master, I am calling you with an update. I called the hobbit doctor like you said. She informed me the Teacups are indeed Supes… barely human at all. Ludwig says they are a mix of Fae, Dae, Shifter and Demi… no idea what houses, but definitely Supes. She wants to run more tests. She also said she has a family in mind to help take care of them, one that is familiar with the Supe world."
"Ok, I will contact the tiny doc and the lawyer for you, I am assuming that you are going to want adoption papers and what not. The daemon will probably want to meet them as well… oh, Godric left last night headed toward you. He wants to meet your… project." The Viking chuckled to himself as he thought about the last project his childe had.
"This is not a situation that warrants joking, Master. The things these little girls have been made to live through… I don't understand how anyone could do that to a child… I just don't understand…" Her voice tapered off.
"You are right Pamela, I was only trying to… what is it the vermin say?… lighten the mood. Now that they are out of the situation, that is."
"Well… I have to go make sure they are presentable for traveling ." And with that Pam hung up her phone and called to rent a large SUV with light tight compartment for the 15 hour road trip back to Louisiana.
Godric woke up after his day's torpor in a small safe room on one of the lower levels of the club his contact in Indianapolis owned. He had known Shae for about two hundred years now and considered her to be on a short list of creatures he called his friends. When the female vampire heard why he was passing through the area, she swiftly offered Godric a safe place to spend the day and any assistance he might need. He said thank you and promised to return soon for a proper visit. He then took to the skies and headed north toward South Bend.
Helen was running around the living area of the suite chasing after Amelia who was carrying Debbie and yelling,
"You have to catch me if you want her back!"
Suddenly Helen stopped dead in her tracks.
"Thombody ith hewe." She whispered to Amelia.
"Are you sure, baby girl?"
"Uh-huh, theweth thombody at the doow."
Hearing this, Pamela left her bed chamber to find out what her little Teacup was talking about. Before she could speak there was a knock at the door. Amelia went to answer the door, but found herself unable to move due to the two little girls hiding behind her with their tiny arms wrapped around her legs. Pam smiled as she saw that her Teacups trusted her pet and walked past them to answer the door. When she opened it she saw her GrandSire on the other side and invited him in. Suddenly she heard squealing behind her.
"Godwic! You awe weaw! I had a dweam 'bout you wast night! Did you bwing Ewic?" The adults all looked at Helen with surprise and questions on their faces.
"Awe we gonna go see Gwan an' Thoogie an' Jathon? Awe you goin wif uth?"
"Teacup, … " Pam said as she sat down and reached for Helen so she could hold her in her lap. "How do you know about Mr. Godric and Mr. Eric?"
"The wady in my dweam towd me about 'em. The thaid me and thithy wath gonna haf a new famwy an' it wath gonna be huge. The towd me that you wath gonna be ouw momma now an' dat Mr. Godwic Mr. Ewic would teach uth coow thtuff wike how to fight wif thwordth and dat Gwan wath gonna hewp you take cawe of uth, an' Thoogie was gonna be ouw big thithy an' Jathon wath gonna be ouw big bwovew an' … an'… dat you wiw keep uth thafe." Helen said the last part quietly to the floor.
"Teacup, " Pam gently lifted the little girl's chin with her fingers so she was looking at her. " … do you have a lot of dreams like this?"
"No, Mith Pam. Jutht thometimeth. Do you wan' me to tew you when I do?"
"Yes, I want you to let me know every time, so we can write these things down in a journal for you… ok?" Pam told the girl
"Otay, Mith Pam."
Pam looked at her little Teacup with curiosity and amazement. Who was the lady in her dreams that was telling her about things to come and was she an ally or foe. She wondered to herself.
Godric stood near the door watching the scene before him as it unfolded. He had heard Pamela wondering who the lady in the dream was and what her angle was. At times like this, he counted his telepathy among his assets and thanked his Sire once again for passing it on to him. He was going to have to ask Pythia if she knew anything about Pam's 'Teacups'. The picture he got from the little seer's head was similar to what he imagined the Goddess Freyja to look like. After waiting to see if the conversation was over, he walked over to the little brown haired girl that sat on the couch where Pamela had left her.
"Hello, little one." He said.
"Hewo, Mr. Godwic…"
Godric took a close look at the girl and upon seeing the shape she was in, he decided he would be needing to find the address of the monsters responsible for the condition of both girls and pay them a visit.
"You know that I am here to help Miss Pam take you and your sister back to where we live, right?"
Helen nodded.
"Why don't you and your sister gather your things and put them in the bag Miss Pam got for you so we can go then… our first stop will be to get you and your sister some food for the trip… does that sound like a plan?"
"You gwow wike Mith Pam, I wike it. It's pwedy." Helen said as she took her sister's hand and lead her in to the other room so they could gather up their few belongings.
Godric looked at Pam and Amelia for a moment before he spoke.
"The older one can see our glow? … Definitely not human… Pamela, are you sure you know what you are getting yourself into? Are you going to heal them?"
"I had thought about it… do you think it would be ok? They are so young. And yes, I believe I can handle anything that comes with this. Godric, I feel like I am supposed to take care of them. Like if I were a mother, they would be mine… tell anyone I said that and I will stake you… Sire."
"I believe you should definitely give them some of your blood. So they will not have scars to remind them of this time. And have no fear, childe, your secret is safe with me. I will only share this information if I feel it is absolutely necessary…"
"I will do it before we leave."
Pam went over to the mini bar and grabbed a bottle of grape juice and two glasses. She called the girls and told them she wanted them to drink some special juice to help them feel better. Helen told her grape juice makes her sick and asked if she could make her some special V8 juice instead. Pam just looked at her for a moment before she mixed a couple drops of her blood into each cup of juice. Helen told her thank you and both girls drank their juice quickly. With in seconds they could see marks fading and the girls looking better. Helen paused, closed her eyes and stuck her tongue out to lick her lips. She noticed that the sore spots on her lips and in her mouth were gone.
"Thank you Miss Pam. Am I supposed to feel all tingly?" Helen said to the vampire in front of her.
"It's ok, Teacup. It will fade soon." Pamela replied as she realized she could now feel both girls.
Debbie, who had been reserved for the majority of the time, ran over to Pam and wrapped her arms around her legs in a big hug with tears running down her face.
"Fank you Miss Pam. It don't hurt no more!" The little ginger girl exclaimed and Pam had to look away, because she didn't want anyone to see the tears threatening to fall from her red rimmed eyes.
Godric watched from his seat on the couch. He decided to move things along and walked over to take the bag the girls had packed. He started toward the door when he heard Helen ask to go with him. By this point Pamela had dried her eyes and had her self under control. The two thousand year old vampire walked out of the room holding a five year old girl in one arm and a pink glittery overnight bag in the other. He thanked the Gods that his childe was not there to witness it.
Pam hoisted the ginger haired three year old up into her arms and motioned for Amelia to grab the bags she and Pam had with them and follow. Amelia nodded silently and did as directed all the while she was trying to process everything she had seen in the last 24 hours.
After a stop at some place called 'Dog-n-Suds' the girls and Amelia had full bellies and were ready for a nap. Pamela was riding in the passenger seat and Godric was driving. They stopped at a convenience store and gas station to fill up and get a cooler, drinks and snacks for the three in the back, some thermal mugs and a travel soup warmer for their 'meal replacement drinks' then they were on their way south.
They stopped a little before dawn so Godric and Pam could curl up in the light tight compartment in the back of the Tahoe and Amelia took over driving the rest of the way. They pulled in to the garage at Pam's home in Shreveport a little after noon and Amelia took the girls in the five bedroom ranch style house and gave them a quick tour before she made lunch for all of them.
At first dark, Pam and Godric woke and made their way into the house to find the girls curled up on Amelia's lap in front of the television in the 'family' room and all three of them asleep. They could smell that they had already had dinner and the girls were in their pajamas.
Pam woke them up and explained that she and Godric had some business to take care of and would be gone for two days but Amelia would take good care of them until she got back. The girls were sad, but agreed to be good for Amelia and stay out of trouble. Pam left Amelia her credit card, Dr. Ludwig's phone number and instructions to take the girls shopping for some clothes, toys and 'what ever it is Teacups need'. Amelia started planning a trip to Toys-R-Us and the Disney store. By the time Pam had returned, the girls had each picked a bedroom and filled them with toys and decorations.
Pam and Godric called Eric and one of Godric's other children, Nora and they all made a trip up north to pay a visit to one John and Sandra Chaney.
