The Talk with Chiz

Don's P.O.V

I woke up in an unfamiliar place. The walls looked shitty and the floorboards didn't look any better. My head was pounding so I rubbed the back of my neck, trying to make some of the tension go away. As I look around I find a figure standing in the shadows. I got up, standing guard, ready to attack if I need to. But then I realized it was just Chiz by his scent.

"Chiz, what are you doing here?" I asked in a sort of whisper.

He ignored my question and started with his own. But he screamed at the top of his lungs, "Why did you do that? Why did you run off on Angela?" he got up in my face.

"She deserves better than me," I cried, "I don't want to keep putting her in danger," I said as I backed up a bit.

"But everyone is still coming after her. And you are gone. That just proves she needs you now more than ever," he said as he took another step forward.

"She's been attacked again?" I said in a scared tone.

"Well not that I know of but they will soon so you have to be there for her, to protect her."

"Why would they come after her? They have no reason to anymore."

"Actually, yes they do."

"What are you talking about?"

"Don, she's…she's pregnant."

"Well it can't be my child," I screamed. "Vampire's can't have children remember."

"But Don, it is your child. She's not going through a regular pregnancy. She's going through the same steps that female did so many centuries ago."

"But she didn't survive after she had her child."

"That is why you must be there for her. If she shows any signs of death then you can save her."

"No, no, no, no, no, I couldn't do that to her. I told her I never would."

"She will understand."

"But that's not the point. I told her that I would never do that to her. I can't break a promise."

"Even if it's to save her life?"

"Are you sure she's really pregnant?"

"Yes, Don, and she needs you. She was so upset when she found your letter. She was so close to killing the child."

"What, are you sure?"

"Yes Don, she told me this to my face. I wouldn't lie."

"Does she know how far along she is?"

"I don't know. I'd guess a little after two months."

I just look down at the floor. I had no idea she had felt that much love for me. I couldn't let her kill the child and possibly herself because I was so stupid. That's when I realized I wouldn't let the vampire consol rule my life. I didn't have to follow their rules. Love is love and you can't pull that apart.

"So Don, will you please come back with me? Stop being so foolish and just come back with me," Chiz ordered.

"You are right. She needs me and I need her. Who cares what the vampire consol will say or do," I said with a smile.

"That's the spirit," Chiz laughed as he slapped my back.
