Mommy was running, running, and running like there was no tomorrow.
I don't know when her heart started beating irregularly, or when adrenaline started pumping through her veins. But now all my attention was on her, on her safety and what was causing this.
I heard my Mommy say things like, "Stay away from my baby" or, "Just leave us alone, we don't need another one of you to mess with our lives ever again!".
'Another one of you', Mommy must mean Vampire's. Why would vampires be after her?
By now she was running out of breath and I could feel her trembling hand caress her stomach where I gently pressed my hand against it, trying to reassure her to calm down. My actions only hurt her.
"Isabella, my sweet Isabella", Mommy cooed over and over as sobs wracked through her body into mine. "I'm so sorry, I should've gone somewhere else.. Shouldn't have been so.. So foolish to think I could go by clean…". More sobs wracked through her body.
"Why running, sweet Mother-to-be? All I want to do I make sure you get through all right" I smooth, but menacing, voice, laughed out. How did he get here so fast? I didn't hear him.
A vampire.
"Go away! Leave me and my baby alone!" Mommy screamed out in a screech and I felt her back up, only to be stopped by something solid, hard and cold - even I felt it through Mommy's soft warming flesh.
"Don't leave so soon, I just want to play with you" The same man snarled in my Mommy's ear. Mommy was right, vampires are fast.
"Stay away!" Mommy cried as she stumbled away from the cold dead body only to fall. She screeched in pain and then Every thing happened to fast.
I felt my Mommy's spine break and a cold hand appeared on her stomach. I couldn't breath, I tried but I chocked. But I didn't move, I knew it would give me Mommy further pains.
"Poor, Poor thing. I think you just have killed your precious baby… too bad." The man sighed in displeasure, making my Mommy whimper.
My air supply seriously started getting low and it became unpleasant. I started to twitch and I bit my lip to restrain my instincts to bite through my Mommy's flesh.
"Oh well, I'll just get rid of your body, No need to drain your poor quality blood… let's see, a river would do nicely don't you think Hun? Yes I think so too, drown with your darling baby- a bit heroic don't you think?" The evil man started to ramble on like nothing was wrong, that he was talking to an every day human who had no clue what he really was.
I felt my Mommy's body being dragged across a rocky surface and heard her skin being scratched each time an uneven rock dug into it. I wanted to cry out and rip this evil vampire to shreds, to make him pay for the agony he was putting my Mommy through.
It seemed like forever torture before all motion went still and the only sound was my Mommy's ragged breaths that were soon coming to an end and a sort of rushing sound - presumably the river this evil man was talking about.
"Bye, bye" Was the last thing he said before my Mommy's body was flung into a icy cold drowning world.
It wasn't like the water bothered me in general, but it sure did have an effect on my Mommy's body - shivers went everywhere through her body, moving me everywhere, making it more difficult to hold my breath.
Then I couldn't feel anything , couldn't hear anything from my Mommy. I couldn't hear her heart, couldn't feel her loving warmth embrace my body. She was dead.
My own body started wracking up with sobs, and I started to tear through my now binding prison. It took great ease but when I finally got through I wasn't met by refreshing air but an unpleasant substance.
My eyes snapped open just as I broke through the surface of the choking substance, I saw a darkened area, what I presumed to be trees danced along every corner of the so called river I was in. I filled my lungs with much needed air, relieved to feel the pressure release from my stomach.
My small arms began flailing around in panic, and my head snapped in every direction looking for a way out while the river consumed me further along it's winding path.
I thought I would never get out of the river when I suddenly saw a white, tall, rectangular thing in the distance- small but noticeable. Was it a house that Mommy constantly fantasized about?
Mommy… she was gone, forever. Just like she had told me…
I kicked and wiggled my way through the water with as much force that I could put forth with my small body and I arrived on steady ground in a matter of seconds. I curled into a tight ball and started rocking back and forth. An attempt to hold in the tears that threatened to spill.
Then it hit me, hit me really hard. I had never seen my Mommy's face.. It was the first thing I had wished to see when I broke through the surface.
"Rose wait!" A sudden voice screamed out into the air, musical and flawless. A vampire.
I started panicking and I looked at the river. Safe, was the word right now that it sang out to me. I fumbled out of my ball like position and crawled shakily back to the river.
I heard a gasp and in a leaping blow of air, I was up in the air held up by two pale hands that were amazingly cool and comforting. I nervously glanced at the face.
It was beautiful, heaven sent possibly. Golden like hair shimmered with a faint glow, and light golden eyes that reflected delight and something else….
"Are you okay my sweet, sweet, baby?" Her soft voice came out to me and I almost gasped in delight. That is what my Mommy always called me! Mommy must have known about her and came here thinking this beautiful goddess would save me. If it was possible I was more in love with my Mommy then ever.
I smiled as best I could at this goddess my Mommy sent for me, and her response was a breath taking cry of happiness and I was pressed into her body.
This was a good vampire.
