I hastifully walked into the ballroom, knowing very well that my mind might wander to the exquisite paintings and golden curtains hanging upon the walls. The room was quite beautiful. With white roses blooming from every corner. Edward had always had white roses, he had told me it reminded him of me. A light among the darkness of hell, is how he put it. Though I found the beautiful white petals purifying and calming, I found myself more interested in the bloody petals of the red roses. They were more to my interest. But not to Edwards pleasing.

" Maradeth" I called, hearing my voice bounce along the marble walls and floor.

" Yes my lady? " She approached me with caution, lately, she had been keeping her distance quite a bit from me.

" I wish to have all the white roses removed from here. "

" Are they dying already? " She asked with astonishment.

" No....I want the purest of red roses in here. With perfect blood drop petals...." i whispered, knowing very well she could hear me with her heightened senses.

" Master might be very disturbed by this my Lady, he might not approve of what you have done. " she stated lowly, her eyes widened.

Though still being a human, my senses had increased to a high standard of magnifigence. It was quite terrifying and exciting when I had first noticed a few days ago, but I had gotten use to hearing everything. And seeing very small details that were of no importance half the time.

' And that is why I have persuasion on my side. It is the advantage of being a woman. " I said, though my smile was very faint. Edward was indeed not the same as he used to be. I felt him become cold, and aggressive. I saw the burning hunger in his eyes when he looked upon my features. I could feel his eyes trace my every curve. Though it would usually have excited me, I found myself more scared of this hunger.

" You may leave me now Maradeth, I need no further assistance for now. " I said, turning my back to her as I gazed around the room. She left me silently and without a sound. She was afraid, of him, as every other maid was.

I felt like crying, screaming, kissing him even. But whenever I kissed him I knew it wasn't completely him anymore. He hadn't given himself entirely yet. On our wedding night, he will give himself to Dracula, and Dracula will sleep with me. It was quite a disappoint me for me, we weren't sure if Edward would become his self ever again, or, if the part of Satan would stay forever.

Edward had kept reassuring me, telling me that the baby and I would be much safe in the arms of Dracula, but rememebering when Dracula had tried to break through Edwards security on his soul, the anguish, the pain and suffering that had taken place. He told me it was only because he was restraining, that Dracula wants me to be his just as much as Edward. But I wanted to spend life with Edward, my beloved, not Dracula.

The only thing in the world that could keep me going right now, was the child inside of me. If i couldn't have Edward, I would always still have a part of him with me. I gently rested my hand upon my stomach and smiled. Maradeth explained that in a vampire's birth, it would be like going through hell, especially on a undeveloped vampire, such as myself. It often frightened me when I thought of it, but I felt a calm feeling take over instantly. I knew it was all worth it.

Suddenly it didn't matter to me if I was no pleased or happy with what happened in the world around me anymore, as long as my child lived and breathed, I would be content. My job now was to protect him from everything in this world. My life meant nothing to me anymore, since the only thing that mattered now, was the growing child inside of me.

" My Son...."

I would like to apologize for this chapter being so utterly short. But I think this helps explain the story a little bit better, you know, a few extra details that needed to be said. Anyways, I would like to thank you all for reviewing, it makes me very excited when I see new reviews! Thank you very much, also please no flaming, I do NOT allow it. Constructive critism only.

Thanks
