Lestat's P.O.V.
Once Ashley finished talking, I went up to my room with Louis following.
"Lestat we have to tell her." He said.
"I know we should, but you know how she'd react." I replied nervously.
"I should tell her…but if her dream is correct, then they're expecting me not to tell her. If I'm the one to tell her then my life is in danger. You have to tell her the truth." I continued.
"Why my?" Louis asked.
"Because they think I'm on their side. I'll be sort of a double-agent." I explained.
"I see. Well, let me go to her now then." Louis said.
I nodded and watched him leave.
Louis's P.O.V.
I found Ashley in her room lying on her back, staring at the ceiling. When I sat on the bed, she looked at me and sat up.
"I'm guessing you have something to tell me?" She asked.
I nodded.
"Ashley…that dream you had…it wasn't just a dream, it was a vision. You will have many more of these visions so you must be prepared to understand them." I explained.
"So I'm psychic?" She asked.
"In a way, yes. There are other powers behind this, but those can only be activated by blood."
"By blood?"
"Meaning that you'd have to be turned into a vampire." I answered.
Ashley nodded and became silent for a while.
"Why have I gotten these powers now? Why hadn't I realized it earlier?" She asked.
"That I do not know. I guess you've had the powers all along, they just haven't been activated until now."
"Who were those vampires I saw in my vision? Why are they trying to kill us?" She asked.
"Those are what we call rogue vampires. They rebel against vampires who associate with humans and immerse themselves in human society. Once they found out you have special gifts, and were involved with me, they had to get rid of you." I answered.
"But since they seem to know everything, they must know that I'm still alive right?"
"Yes. I have to talk with Lestat about what we're going to do."
"Make me into a vampire." She said suddenly.
"I can't do that Ashley."
"Why not? You don't know how?"
"No it's not that. I…just can't ok? I need to talk to Lestat." I replied getting up and leaving the room.
Once I entered Lestat's room, I found him staring out the window.
"Did you tell her?" He asked, not turning from the window.
"Yes. She wants me to turn her into a vampire."
"I think it's not a bad idea." He replied, turning to me.
"No Lestat. You know I swore to myself I'd never put this curse onto another human, ever."
"Being a vampire is not a curse Louis."
"It is to me." I whispered.
Lestat sighed and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"It's time to put your past behind you."
I was silent.
"You do love Ashley, don't you?"
"Yes."
"And you wouldn't want anything to happen to her right?"
"Of course."
"Then do this for her Louis! It may be the only chance she as." He urged.
"I don't know Lestat…I need to think this through." I replied before leaving.
Hard life decisions had never been my specialty.
Ashley's P.O.V.
I decided to do some exploring around the mansion for a while, and I found a green room—or sort of a garden room. There were lots of pretty flowers and fountains everywhere. It was very peaceful. As I sat down on a bench in front of a fountain, I closed my eyes and tried to meditate. Suddenly, flashes of something came into my head.
Pain…a woman holding her stomach…a baby crying…"Oh my god! Teri!" I yelled.
I ran back to Lestat's room and banged on his door. He quickly opened it and looked at me like I was crazy.
"Ashley love, have you gone mad??"
"I had a vision! It's Teri! She's having her baby right now!" I yelled frantically.
Lestat said no more as we both rushed outside into his black Porsche and sped off to the hospital.
Lestat's P.O.V.
Once we arrived, Ashley demanded to know the room where Teri was. I had never seen her so angry before. The poor nurse was scared to death as she pointed out the room with a shaky finger. When we entered the room, Teri was dripping with sweat and clearly in agony.
"Damnit! Where's the fucking nurse with the damn drugs!" She yelled.
"Teri they can't give you anymore pain drugs. Your body won't accept it." Her boyfriend said as he held her hand.
"I want to feel nothing Mykyle, you hear me? NOTHING!" She roared.
"Isn't there anything we can do?" Ashley asked.
I slowly walked over to Teri and placed my hand on her stomach.
"Lestat, what are you doing?" Ashley asked.
"Hey…I can't feel anything! The pain…it's gone." Teri said, astonished.
"You're welcome." I replied with a wink.
"Thank you." She said. Our eyes locked and she couldn't look away.
"Hey, who the hell are you?" Mykyle snapped.
"He's with me, Mykyle." Ashley answered.
"Mykyle, go wait outside." Teri said.
"What?? You're about to give birth!" He said.
"Just go!" She yelled.
"They're my kids too!"
"I'm only having one dumbass!" She yelled.
"Whatever!" He yelled back before slamming the door as he left.
"Not to be rude, but…why are you with him?" I asked.
Teri sighed.
"I don't even know anymore.
'You deserve better, Cheri.' I gently spoke into her mind.
Just then the doctor rushed in along with 2 nurses.
"Ok Ms. Gussom, let's deliver a baby!" The doctor said.
A few grueling minutes later, Teri was holding a beautiful baby girl in her arms.
"Mykyle get in here!" Ashley called.
Mykyle popped his head in, and once he saw the baby he rushed over.
"Can I hold her?" He asked.
Teri nodded and handed him the baby, their previous fight was forgotten as they both watched their baby girl.
"Ivonne Jones." Teri said proudly.
"Didn't want to give her your last name huh?" Ashley asked.
The both of them laughed.
I smiled when Mykyle let Ashley hold the baby, but then a thought occurred to me.
'You know once you become a vampire, you can never have a child of your own.' I spoke into Ashley's mind.
She looked at me sharply, her expression turned to sadness.
"Hey Teri, Lestat and I need to get going." She said, returning the baby to Teri.
"Are you ok?" Teri asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. We just have some things to take care of. I'll call you later." Ashley said as we turned to leave.
"Wait!" Teri said.
We both stopped.
"Thanks again Lestat." Teri said smiling.
I smirked.
"You're very welcome. Congratulations as well." I said before we walked out of the room.
Broken: Wow that was a long one.
Ashley: Aww you had a baby!
Broken: Shut up, its not like it was in real life.
Louis: And it looks like Lestat's found his newest victim.
Lestat: Why, whatever are you talking about? -smirk-
Broken: Oh no, I see where this is going and its not going to work.
Lestat: Is that a challenge?
Broken: Lestat...Lestat no!
Louis: Here we go again. I just had those sheets cleaned too...
Ashley: Review Please!
