How Melody knows Vivien
*Anything italicized is someone's thought, someone's singing, it's someone's dream.
XXXXFLASHBACKXXXX
Melody swam all the way to Atlantica, to visit her aunts and uncles, and her grandfather. She felt like she needed to clear her head from the 2 years of being alone, and what better way then to visit her mother's home, with Kai following her, and hanging out with her underwater family.
"So, does your family know you're gonna show up?" Kai asked as he began to swim backwards.
"Of course. They always expect me to visit at around this time." Melody answered before she stopped and gasped, making Kai spin around, only to see Atlantica citizens getting terrorized and swimming away.
Melody swam as fast as she could towards her mother's home, and stopped when she saw a young looking octopus, laughing like a maniac as her seashell necklace glowed brightly. Melody noticed the seashell, and new right away who she was.
"No..." She began, which made the young octopus look over and stop her powers from ruining the kingdom as she grinned wickedly at Melody.
"Well, well...what do we have here?" The octopus asked as she swam up to Melody. "You look like Queen Ariel."
"Well, I should...I am her daughter after all." Melody answered, not showing a single ounce of fear on her face or in her voice.
"Well, isn't that exciting!" The girl said as she laughed evilly again.
"I didn't think she had a daughter." Melody declaired, which made the young octopus look at Melody again, and grin.
"Why of course she did! Morgana didn't feel like waiting forever for you to turn 12. So, she had me." The girl said.
"Oh, and what is your name?" Kai asked as he grabbed a sword from near by.
The girl looked at him, and immediately almost felt like leaving. But she sucked it up and grinned. "The name...is Vivien. And believe little princess of land and sea, I can't be stopped. So therefore, I can make your life, a living hell."
"News flash lady, my life is already a living hell! Losing my only human friend and one immortal friend 2 years ago can really take a hold of someone and won't let go." Melody countered.
"Oh, yes...that young prince and vampiress." Vivien began. "Well, looks can be decieving, dearie!" Vivien stated before she disappeared in black smoke.
"What...what did she mean by that?" Kai asked.
"I-I don't know...but I'm gonna find out."
XXXXPRESENT DAYXXXX
Melody just sat there in a booth, looking completely terrified while Kai just comforted her. And as Rosalyn and Henry stayed by the bar area.
"Do you think Melody will be okay? I mean, an old enemy from the Enchanted Forest came back! How that is possible is beyond me." Rosalyn asked.
"She should be. I wouldn't think anything of it." Henry stated as he handed his girlfriend a drink. But she pushed it back and just took a sip of her water. Henry saw this and just shrugged it off as he took a swig of his drink.
Rosalyn grinned slightly before she decided to head out. "Well, I best be going. I have a doctors appointment today and do NOT want to be late. See ya tonight." She said before kissing Henry's cheek and leaving.
Once Rosalyn was outside, she grabbed her stomach and leaned up against the wall. She looked up at the sky and sighed. "Mother...what do I do?" She said before she took a deep breathe, and walked to the hospital.
Henry walked up to Melody and Kai, and sat across from them in the booth. "You okay, Mel?" He asked, making Melody look up from her head being put down, with a look of depression on her face.
"She was not supposed to be here!" Melody said.
"I take it you know her from somewhere." Kai stated.
"Yeah." Melody answered back, as she put her head back down with a plop.
"Kai...?" Henry began, making Kai look over at him. "...you remembered me."
"Yeah, so?" Kai stated.
"So, the only time we knew each other, was in the Enchanted Forest." And with Henry making that point, Kai sighed. He was made. "You remember everything, don't you?"
"Well, yeah! Why do you think I was shocked when I saw you here?! You are supposed to be dead, along with Rosalyn!" Kai responded.
"Yeah, well we aren't now, so don't worry about it." Henry stated, before he began to think back to the Enchanted Forest.
XXXXFLASHBACKXXXX
He ran through the woods. He was trying to get away from someone chasing him, but he didn't expect them to have such incredible speed.
He ran as fast as he could, until he tripped over a tree root and fell to the ground. He turned around and saw the silhouette of a man standing five feet from him. The man started walking towards the guy who tripped and when he reached them, he bent down, and held out his hand.
"Sorry for scaring you." He said, making the man on the ground look up and see that the man helping him was a young boy with brown hair and redish brown eyes. "I didn't mean to."
The man was hesitant for a while before taking the young man's hand and being pulled up. "It's fine. Who are you anyway? You look familiar."
The young boy sighed sadly before looking up at the older man. "I'm just a boy, who has a wife waiting for him at home. I'll see ya around." He said before running off at full speed home.
XXXXPRESENT DAYXXXX
Rosalyn sat there in the hospital room, waiting for the doctor to come in as she sat in a chair. She kept thinking of how she'd handle the news. As a vampire, she wasn't gonna die from this, but she had to know why this was happening to her.
After a while, the doctor came in, with the news of her condition.
"Well? What's wrong with me? My stomach is hurting, and has been since after my performance at Granny's." Rosalyn stated.
"The tests you had taken came back negative of any kind of cancer, so you are fine." The doctor said.
"Then, why am I feeling this pain?"
"Rosie, I don't know how to tell you this, so I'm just gonna say it." The doctor began, making Rosalyn listen intently. "You're pregnant."
Rosalyn's eyes almost fell out of her face when she heard this, and her mouth opened slightly in shock. "I'm...what?"
"I suggest you tell your boyfriend this. Maybe it's..."
"No, it would be his. And I can't tell Henry. His moms would kill him if they found out!"
"I'm sorry this is happening." The doctor said.
"Don't be. I'm happy it is, but...I'm only 16. I haven't even stopped aging yet." Rosalyn stated in reply.
"I'm sorry. I would like to see you come in for an altra-sound, just to see if..."
"It's coming along okay. I got it. I'll be here, thanks." Rosalyn finished for him before grabbing her purse and jacket, and leaving the hospital. Once she was outside, she began to walk home.
She walked in silence as she thought of different ways Henry would find out about this, and different ways for her to tell him. None of them ending nicely. "What am I gonna do? How will I tell Henry?" She asked herself before walking through the front door of her house, and closing the door behind her. She then walked over to her laptop and started searching up baby names.
She scrolled through a bunch of them, until it occurred to her she didn't know the gender yet. So, she decided that if it was a boy, she'd name it after her grandfather on her mother's side, Vladimir. And if it was a girl, she'd name it Zelda, just because she liked that name.
"Rosie, I want you to promise me something." Her mother's voice rang through her head.
"Yeah, mom?" 12 year old Rosalyn's voice spoke back.
"Promise me that you will wait for marriage before doing what you learned in your Health lesson the other day. Because I don't want to be a grandmother too soon."
"Yes, mom. I promise."
"I'm sorry, mother." Rosalyn said with a tear falling down her cheek.
~END OF CHAPTER~
Hey guys! I hope you guys are enjoying the story so far. I normally don't write stuff like this unless the two characters are married, but for some reason, I couldn't resist doing that for this story.
And I know the title says "Melody's Story", but I will still be putting in things that will make it also be about Henry and Rosalyn's relationship as well. So you guys will know what will happen in the 3rd one of this (if you guys like this one as much as the first one).
Anyway, thank you guys so much for reading, and I'll see you in the next chapter. Ba-bye!
