31 Nights of Frights, Part Deux
Maybe She's Someone's Sanity
Shea glanced up at the woman hovering over her son's cradle. Her gut reaction was to yank the intruder back by the long dark hair that flowed down her back. But the woman hadn't moved her hands from the cradle's edge. A single ebony strand of hair flowed down over her porcelain cheek and teased the small infant's knuckles.
Her feral eyes turned over to Shea and the Carpathian female tensed at the sight. The vicious look in her eyes vanished and the beautiful woman returned, her face masking that of the monster. The vampire hummed to herself as Shea's son cooed up at her.
"That's a precious little male, but shh, we shan't let mummy hear us, shall we? Our little secret, the echoes in your mind and mine. Thousand stars calling us and just the two we need waiting for us, aren't they? But mummy can't know yet, can she?"
Shea called silently for her lifemate, hedging closer to their son and the abomination hovering over him. Jacques was at her side in the breadth of a heartbeat. The human slayer and watcher raced in just as the vampiress stepped back and let the frightened mother scoop up her baby. She was humming and the watcher groaned. Shea tried to catch the tune but failed to recognize it.
"Can someone tell me why Dru is humming a Taylor Swift song?" Vi asked, giving her a small glare.
"And we talk real low, cause its late and your mama don't know," Dawn sang along to the woman called Drus humming. She blushed brightly. "Sorry, I watched the CMAs."
"Dawn, do not add fuel to the crazy vampire's fire," Vi muttered. "Dru, what are you doing here?"
"Talking real low," Dru murmured, looking over at the infant.
"Okay, you better get the baby out of here, like now," Dawn murmured to Shea. "Dru's talking kinda crazy, even for Dru."
