Chapter 25 – Dreams and Revelations

I was in darkness; I could hear a heartbeat and voices. Soft voices filled with emotion and something touching what I was in.

"Maybe she needs blood…."

"Please, find some. I fear her health more than mine…"

"I'll go hunt in the ocean… to get humans."

I knew these voices, they were my parents. I was in the womb of my mother. I could feel her moving, I wanted to get out. My hands clawed at the darkness; slicing through something soft.

"Ah! Please my precious, I will get you out, don't claw mommy."

I heard her speak before suddenly I was blinded by light. I blinked quickly as I squirmed, I could feel hands on me; holding me. As the light dimmed and the red water faded I blinked, my eyes locking onto the woman before me. They were a pretty white and sea green.

"Isabella…" she whispered lovingly before holding me above the water and then to her chest. "I love you, always."

I shot up with a gasp, coughing and spluttering as I shivered like the last time. The woman, the one from my dreams; the book - was my mother.
