I felt so weak. So much pain. I half opened my eyes, Nick was in the corner of the room drinking and looking out of the window. It was the next afternoon; the sun was just setting that much I could tell before I shut my eyes again. What had happened? Why wasn't I dead yet?

Then it dawned on me. The whole time I had thought I would die because I was pregnant- I was wrong. Well wrong and right. When I was pregnant I had been so much more weaker but the moment I died, it didn't kill me it just broke of the pregnancy. Did that mean I wasn't pregnant anymore? Did I lose my child? As if to prove that I heard no heartbeat of my child. I had lost my child! Silent tears fell down my cheeks as I knew it was true. Then I let the darkness overtake me again.

I felt no need to be alive anymore. There was no one left for me. I was truly alone once again.


I felt like I could shove the white oak stake through my heart. I had won the battle against Marcel and I was now the king of New Orleans.

But she had died… she and my child had died. She had lost too much blood but I hadn't realized. It was my entire fault; I hadn't figured out that we had a physical connection. I was too driven by my motives that I hadn't realized her dying.

I had promised her that she would never be alone again but I had failed in that promise. And I knew that night I came home and she talked about loneliness and hurt that someone else had made the same promise and had failed in keeping it. It had been hard for her to accept my promise. And now she lay dead, knowing that she had made the same mistake twice. How it was the same promise made in her short life I failed to know.

A short chapter, I know but I couldn't help but spoil the cliff hanger! Let me know what you think of it! So Hayley THINKS she's lost her child.
