CHAPTER 19: Mutant Children?

Sara was sitting at the table in the courtyard listening to Diva sing. Diva was walking around the courtyard, singing with passion. Sara turned around to look at the mansion as she felt HIS presence. So he had chosen to return. But he would have to make his choice today.

She turned back to watch Diva. She knew Amshel was watching her. He always did. It was strange that even now she was treated as an experiment, a thing. Did she REALLY want revenge? Or did she just want peace? Whichever answer it was, she had to complete her mission. For her new family, and for her people.

But what about after? After all her duties were met, what would she do then?

* * * *

Sara looked at Diva as she stopped singing, midsong. Diva was standing with her hand against her stomach and her head bowed. Fearing something was wrong, she walked over to Diva.

"Diva?" she asked with concern. "What's the matter?" Diva didn't respond. That wasn't like her. Sara leaned down to her and tried again. "Diva?"

Diva smiled and turned to her. Diva reached for her and grabbed her. Sara flinched ever so slightly when Diva bit into her throat but didn't pull away. Her thoughts drifted back to the days of her captivity as they always did when Diva drank from her. It was the times like this she actually wanted to leave Diva and never return.

But she would never do that. Especially not now.

As she felt Diva taking too much blood she said, "Careful darling" When Diva did not stop feasting on her blood, Sara grabbed onto her shoulders. "Diva, my precious one, please slow down. You're taking to much of my blood"

Diva finally pulled back and wiped Sara's blood from her mouth with her sleeve. Sara looked up at her from the ground where she'd fallen when Diva released her. Diva smiled at her before walking away, resuming her song. Sara stayed focused on Diva until she felt someone come up behind her.

She looked up to find Amshel and Nathan. She didn't bother to stand up. "Diva has made quite a meal of you today, Sara" Amshel observed suspiciously.

"When Diva sings so intensely, her appetite blossoms" she said as an excuse. She didn't want them to know the truth of why Diva had ACTUALLY become so ravenous lately.

Nathan looked toward Diva. "Sara, how does the OTHER queen handle such delicate situations?"

Sara snarled in disgust as she remembered exactly how Saya consumed blood.

* * * *

Sara and Diva had been playing away from Amshel and Nathan when they sensed Solomon approaching. Sara ordered Amshel and Nathan to stay back to let her handle him. She didn't speak as Solomon knelt in front of Diva to kiss her hand.

Solomon released Diva's hand and looked at Sara, still kneeling. "I'm sorry I was gone so long"

Sara gazed at him with a hardened expression. "You're going to leave us, aren't you, Solomon?"

Solomon stood and took her hand gently. She allowed it. "You know better than any Chevalier that you can't help who you love" He glanced at Diva, then looked back to Sara. "You betrayed Saya"

Sara closed her hand around Solomon's. "I gave Saya a chance to join Diva, to join ME. SHE was the one who refused"

Solomon gave her a hard stare of his own. "And did you give Saya this chance before or AFTER you killed Riku?" Sara glanced away, giving him all the answer he needed. "You and Diva both have caused Saya near unbearable pain. YOU know probably more than anyone else what pain feels like, Sara. How can YOU condemn Saya for wanting revenge?"

Sara pulled her hand away from Solomon as grief cut through her at his words. He tried to grab her hand again but she yanked it away. She couldn't fight, however, as Solomon pulled her into his arms and held her. She didn't cry though. She had never cried even when those scientists had cut into her again and again. She hadn't cried when she had been raped repeatedly.

Solomon tightened his grip on her. "I know you're in pain. No one can even IMAGINE the kind of pain you're in. But Sara, you are NOT a monster. The only time I have EVER seen Diva smile a genuine, happy smile was around you. No monster could accomplish giving her that"

Sara pulled away from him enough so that she could look at Diva. Diva gave her a reassuring smile. "Diva is pregnant with our children" she revealed in a tone so low that only the three of them could hear her.

Solomon released her in shock, gasping. "How long has she been-? Do the others know?"

Sara shook her head. "No one knows but the three of us, and I didn't tell Karl. I couldn't and CANNOT risk Amshel finding out. Not before it is time. And she got pregnant shortly after the Red Shield headquarters sank"

Solomon shook his head in disbelief. "How did you get Diva pregnant? You're both females"

Sara laughed bitterly. "How?! Because I AM a monster. Those scientists who gave me my powers wanted to make sure I could breed with ANYTHING. Males, females, even animals. They succeeded. But I don't know exactly how it works. I was never a scientist, just an experiment. It was why they all raped me. They were trying to get me pregnant"

Diva grabbed her hand for support. Solomon thought her words over. "So you've had other children besides Diva's?"

Diva's eyes darkened with jealousy. But Sara shook her head. "The pregnancies ALWAYS went wrong. Whenever I got others pregnant, they would always have miscarriages. And whenever I got pregnant, the babies would be born mutants that soon died"

Diva's face saddened and Sara pulled her close. Solomon's eyes widened. "So there is a chance Diva could miscarriage, or the babies could be born dying mutants?"

Sara nodded, her eyes hollow. She glared at Solomon. "Still believe I'm not a monster?"

Solomon was silent.

* * * *

After Solomon had left them for good once he spoke to Amshel and Nathan, Sara stood watching a sleeping Diva. She was hoping their babies would be born healthy Chiropterans. But unfortunately, after her past, she did not know HOW to think optimistically. There were sometimes she believed Saya had the right plan. There WERE some existences that were not worth living. And there were some, like Sara herself, that maybe should not have existed at all. Diva would have been better off mating someone else. She knew that.

But there was something that scared her more than anything else: If the babies WERE born healthy, what if they were born as something more fearsome than even her?
