***************************** PART 3 ************************************
I am waiting in the waiting room of the hospital ward, waiting to get the scan done.
Thierry, Hannah and Miles are here with me. Delos and Maggie have scampered off somewhere about five minutes ago.
"Miss Snow?" One of the witches asks, breaking through my daydreaming.
I look at her. She is in her late thirties, early forties, long black hair, heart shaped face and dumpling like.
"We're ready for you now. If you will follow me, the doctor will see you." The witch says turning around and walks away. All four of us follow her short dumpling like body into another room.
"Okay, Miss Snow. I need you to climb up here on the bed." The witch instructs.
I do as I'm told, and the other three stand beside me, away from the screen of the scanner.
A few minutes later, another woman comes in. She is tall, with long wavy jet-black hair, like mine. Ever changing eyes, like Ash Redfern, and really exotic looking. She is wearing a long white lab coat.
Vampire. I think to myself.
"Hello Nila. I'm Dr. Orca Redfern." The woman introduces herself. "I'm going to scan your stomach to check on your baby. All right?"
I nod at her question.
"Right then. Let's get your top up, shall we?" Dr. Redfern pulls up my top and squirts freezing clear gel onto my stomach.
After that, she holds the scanner to the top of my bump.
The screen comes to life and I can just make out the faint outline of a baby.
"Okay, here's the baby's head." Dr. Redfern points to a round ball near the top of the screen.
"And here's the spine." She points to a curved shape on the picture. "And here are the arms, legs, feet and hands." She points to the different limbs.
"Would you like to know what the baby is?" she asks.
"It's a boy." I mutter.
Dr. Redfern looks at me funny, and then moves the scan around to see the male reproductive organ.
"How did you know?" she asks.
"I just knew." I mumble.
"Nila? How far are you in your pregnancy?" Dr. Redfern asks, puzzled.
"Would you believe me if I told you that I'm only a couple of weeks pregnant?" I reply.
"No. You're nearly ready to go into labour." She answers.
"Yes, well. I was a virgin a couple of weeks ago." I reply.
"Really?" she asks.
"Yes." I murmur.
"Then how are you this far if you're only a few weeks gone?" she asks.
"I have no idea." I reply.
"Nila's pregnant with the Dark Prince." Thierry pipes up.
"The Dark Prince?" both Dr. Redfern and I ask in unison.
"The Prince of all the Night World species and human together." He supplies.
"You mean the Dark child that will destroy the world when he's born?' Dr. Redfern asks.
"Yes. Why?" he asks.
"Nothing. I'll be right back." Dr. Redfern says. She disappears and comes back ten minutes later, with something in her hand.
"I'm going to kill you!" Dr. Redfern screams at me and tries to stab me with the object in her hands, which is a knife.
"I can't let you give birth to that…that…monstrosity!" she yells, bringing the knife down again.
Thierry grabs Dr. Redfern by the throat and lifts her clear off the floor and throws her across the other side of the room.
"Leave her alone!" Thierry, Hannah and Miles yell.
"She has to die! That…that…thing inside of her will kill us all!" she screams.
"The baby can't die!" Thierry hisses.
"If I kill her, then the baby will die as well." Dr. Redfern yells.
"If you try to kill the child, he'll kill you." Hannah says to her.
"Miles! Get Nila out of here." Thierry orders.
"C'mon Nila. Let's go." Miles grabs my arm and leads me out of the room.
Once out of the room, someone hits Miles over the head, and grabs me.
Before I have time to open my mouth for a steam engine wail, something like sheet lightening hits me, and I blackout on a wave of darkness.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
I wake up feeling drained and dizzy. I open my eyes, but everything is in darkness. The only light is coming from the window about ten feet above my head.
I look around the room, and the room I'm in is bare, and it feels damp and musky.
I try to get up, but I can't move. I look down, and in the moonlight, I find that I'm tied to a chair.
"What the hell is going on?" I say to no one.
"Ah. I'm glad to see that you are finally awake, Miss Snow." A voice in the darkness says. The voice is deep, husky and definitely male.
"Who are you?" I demand.
"You'll know when the time comes." The man replies.
"Show yourself." I order.
"Now why would I want to go and do a thing like that Nila?" He chuckles when I gasp.
"How did…how do you know my name?" I ask in a whisper.
"Let's just say…I know an awful lot about you child." He says. "For instance, I know that you bare the Dark Prince, the ruler of all Night People and humans alike. And he will destroy the world as soon as he is born."
"And…what do you know about my child?" I ask. "Why is he growing at accelerated speed?"
"Well child. He has to get big so that he can be born. He will be stronger, swifter and more agile than any vampire, 'shifter, witch and human put together. Also, he'll still have accelerated growth even after he is born. He will be around twenty in a space of days after his birth."
"You mentioned that he will be the ruler of all Night People and humans alike." I start, finding a fault in what he told me.
"So?"
"So. How can he rule over every species, if he destroys the world when he's born." I ask.
"My dear child." The stranger chuckles. "I mean the human world. He will bring about the end of the human world."
"Oh." Great. I mutter to myself. "So…what do you want from me?"
"Nothing." The stranger replies. "All I want is to make sure that Circle Lets-all-prance-around-with-flowers-in-our-hair-and-sing-about-peace-and-love doesn't get in the way of this child being born."
"What do you mean?" I ask confused. "You know something. What is it?"
"Hmm? Oh, I know a way for you're son to be just like every dammed tree hugging hippy in Daybreak when he's born."
"How?" I ask.
"Oh, my dear little half breed." The stranger laughs. "What do you take me for? I mean really?"
"I just thought that someone like you, would tell the hostage about the things that is impossible. I mean…Circle Daybreak won't be able to achieve this, because nobody knows where I am, and I have no way to tell them. So you may as well go ahead and tell me how it's done." I explain slyly.
"Very well." The stranger sighs. "In order for junior here to be born with flowers in his hair, you have to go to a witch called Callisto, who lives in Brockport New York. She will prance around, be merry and chant some sort of gobbledegook mumbo jumbo. Then as soon as the child is born, the human world will not be destroyed. Satisfied?"
"Yes. I am." I reply.
"Oh. There's just one thing." The stranger says, still hiding in the shadows.
"What's that?" I ask.
"You have to get to her before midnight tonight. Or Damien here will be born. And bye-bye goes the human race."
"Dammit!" I curse, then again in Egyptian.
"I know. Too bad, so sad." The stranger says. "Oh, and another thing."
"What?" I ask.
"Do you happen to what what'll happen to you once Lucifer here is born?"
I merely shake my head.
"He will kill you." The stranger sounds as though he's smirking. "Callisto's spell is the only way to stop that from happening."
"Oh no." I mumble.
"Well, gotta go. I need to feed." The stranger says. "Oh by the way, you can't escape, those ropes are made from both hemp and bast, the inner bark of trees."
I hear laughter followed by footsteps leaving the room. Soon the laughter has disappeared as well. "Thierry. Where are you guys?" I sob.
