Damon's POV
I looked at the clock after I snapped Kenkai's neck. It had just turned to the midnight mark. Kenkai was born at midnight... I found that amusing... but not while her life was at stake. I picked her... well her corpse, and took her into the master bedroom.
I walked back out and decided to look at her phone. I bent down and turned it on. She had two new voicemails, three missed calls, and about ten text messages.
Melanie, Kuromiko, and two unknown callers called. I stared hard at the number but no one came to mind. I looked at her text messages. They were kids from school who had gotten her number, wishing her happy birthday and if she was alright. Then it was the voicemails.
The first one was from Melanie and Kuromiko wishing Kenkai happy birthday. The next one came from the unknown caller.
"Hello, Kenkai. I was just wishing you a happy birthday. I know it doesn't mean much after 17 years but I still love you and worry about you. Could you ever forgive me? Love you and Happy birthday, Mom."
"Aw," I said jokingly. "So touching." I was about to put the phone down when it rang again. "Kenkai's cell phone, Damon speaking, how may I help you?" I said.
"Cut the crap, Damon. Did it work?" It was Sintary.
"Well, hello to you too." I said smirking.
"Damon! I'm seriously! Did. It. Work?"
"I. Don't. Know." I said. "Kenkai hasn't waken up yet."
"Tsk! Then you must have just made it or missed it." She said.
"What happens if I barely missed it?" I asked.
"I don't know, I've never been through that kind of change!" Sintary hissed.
I heard a moan.
"Is there someone in your house?" I asked.
"Damon, that moan didn't come from my line. It came from yours." Sintary said slowly.
I dropped the phone and ran to the master bedroom.
"Kenkai?" I said her name just over a silent whisper. My voice was full of concern, shook and joy. Something that I usually don't carry.
There was a moan again. I walked over to her and looked at her. She moved her legs to a better position. I saw her eyes squeeze shut and slowly open.
"Damon...?" She moaned.
"Kenkai..." I said joyed.
She moved again and I hugged her.
"Damon..." She said softly but I didn't hear. "Damon..." Kenkai moaned louder. I could barely hear her. "Damon!" She moaned to her loudest she could at the moment. I got off her.
"Yes?" I asked with a lop-sided grin.
"I'm hungry..." She said. "And I missed you..." She lifted her head slightly to smile at me.
"I'll get you something to eat." I said.
She looked just like her mother... her mother! Sintary! I ran out the door and picked the phone back up. The line was dead.
"Crap!" I yelled.
"What's wrong?" Kenkai asked.
"Nothing." I said turning around and setting her phone down. "Happy birthday Kenkai." I said and left to get her something to eat.
