CHAPTER FIFTEEN

THE PLAN

Selene tried not to let her frustration show as she glowered at the young boy before her. "Will you move?" She asked him.

"Sorry miss," The boy murmured, edging away from her with fear. Once out of her vision, he dashed away to get away from her.

Erika sighed as she looked over the irritated vampiress. "Perhaps we should be concerned," She said.

"About what?" Selene asked.

"About your …" Erika's voice trailed off. She gestured to an empty room, and the two stepped inside. "About your pregnancy. That incident just now signifies something is wrong."

"I'm fine," Selene said with a sigh.

"You almost fell on top of that boy from pain in your abdomen. If you don't have someone check out your daughter, than it could lead to a miscarriage. It isn't unusual among immortals," Erika explained.

"I will not go to any doctor," Selene snapped.

Erika pursed her lips thoughtfully. "Well," She finally said, "I know someone who hasn't been a doctor in ages, but was at one point. He can be trusted with almost any secret, and it isn't Michael."

"Who, then?"

Erika turned and stared out the window into the darkness of night. "You'll have to go alone."

"Alright."

"He may not be able to help. It's been awhile, but I'm certain he can diagnose your problem, and perhaps solve your situation."

"Who?"

"Markus."

AN: Yeah, probably the shortest chapter I've put out, but I didn't wanna put too much into this chapter. It's just a transition, so … I'll try to have the next chapter out by tomorrow if my muse is with me.
