Arra stood in front of a huge crowd of vampires.
Every vampire stood, sat, squeezed, shuffled and pushed into the hall of sports.
Darren sat on the bars with Larten and waited as the prince's thrones were brought through to the hall.
Soon everyone sat quietly and waited.
Arra breathed in deeply and sat down on the bars.
"I have been through many hardships and trials...but the biggest one...was when I found that I... had been chosen to bare a child..." Arra grabbed her son and ex-boyfriend's hands.
"It all started 20 years ago. Larten and I spent one last night together-"
Vampires yelled cat-calls and whistled wildly.
When they stopped, Arra continued.
"It was after that...Fate played her hand...and my life changed...Forever..."
Flashback.
A younger 20 year old Arra, sat on a small rock by the sea's edge. The water was crystal night blue and the moonlight shone brightly over the sea. The ripples danced and swayed with the wind as it pulled and pushed the sea onto and off the sand. The willow trees swayed too and fro as they brushed the tried woman's back. Arra had cut her hair short and brushed it strait. Her knife sat by the bottom of the rock and her shoes sat on the other side of the vampiress rocky seat. The sand, laced with sea-shells and smoothed glass. A small but large cliff sat not to far away form her, where a small blue cottage sat on top of it. Arra had moved here after she and Larten had split up.
The lights were off so the only light was the moon.
Arra sat up strait and stretched her tiered self. Grabbing her knife and shoes she climbed off her rock and went up the stone stairs that lead to her house on the cliff.
Arra lit a fire in her room and climbed into her bed.
She wore her fave. blue t-shirt and black PJ bottoms.
Through the night, she slept calmly till, a hand began to shake her awake.
Sensing the danger, Arra sat up after grabbing her knife from out underneath her pillow.
Sitting up, the trained general saw... a young woman...?
The woman was holding a small valentine heart shaped watch.
She wore a small pastel blue dress with mud on the bottom. She also wore some bright green wellingtons.
She had soft blonde hair in a tight bun. She was sitting on a chair 19 cm from the bed.
She was also wearing a beautiful pink shawl.
She had deep black eyes with no pupils…
Snapping out of her trance Arra asked softly, seeing that the woman might be dangerous but thought it would be better to act calmly. "A-hem..." coughed Arra. "Excuse me but, may I ask why you are in my room at this late hour.? And why your just sitting there? Aren't you cold?"
The woman smiled.
"I'm sorry to barge in like this but *Shiver*...Oooooh...*grabs her arms* I think I might need some tea and a blanket...if that is ok..."
Smiling, Arra got out of bed and leaded the young woman to the cold kitchen. Putting on the fire, Arra placed the woman in a rocking-chair by the fire-place.
"Would you like lemon, lime or milk in your tea?"
The woman smiled and asked for milk and 4 sugars.
After placing a blanket over the young girls shoulders and legs, Arra sat on a cushion and drank her lemon tea.
"I love your kitchen...it's so...homely..."
Arra smiled and asked the girl her name.
"My name...oh! My name! Of course. My name is Fae Tea. Weird I know but if say it together fast enough..."
Arra thought for a moment. ''Fae Tea...Fae-Tea...FaeTea...*GASP*''
"Your name sounds like..."
''Fatey...Fate!''
Fate smiled sadly. "Yes..." Placing her cup down on a table nearby, she twiddled her thumbs in thought.
"I guess...you should know that I am Destiny's little sister BUT...I am good! I am Fate! I bring joy and happiness, not evil!
My lullaby is the laughter of a new born baby! My song is the joy of children and my soul work is to help not hurt!" Fate calmed herself down and spoke more softly "And…while my brother drinks... *shiver* Blood! I drink flower nectar!" Wrapping her self tighter in her blankets and shawl, Fate sipped her tea.
Arra just sat there in surprise...The most evil man had a sister who did...good?
Arra sipped her tea and asked if Fate would like some chocolate cake. Fate Smiled and nodded. "I would love some chocolate cake!"
After sometime Arra finally asked why Fate came to see her.
"Well Miss Arra-"
"Just Arra is fine, thank you..."
"Oh yes! Arra *Heeh-heeh* I have come to you because...like my brother I can see what is to be...I have seen much trouble and sorrow...and I thought about how to, pardon my mouth, spit in my brothers eye!"
Arra sipped her tea and thought about everything that had just been said.
"But what dose-"
"Arra please...I can't go into details...I am like my niece...Evanna...I speak only truth but I can't tell you anything about it...but I will tell you something. I have come to give you a gift that no other woman can have in your clan...a baby...boy."
Arra choked on her tea and stared at Fate.
"Fate...what did you just say?...A baby boy...but how?"
Fate smiled and placed her tea down and got out of her seat. Pulling out her watch, she squeezed it tightly that it poured out a warm, loving and sweet glow.
Pulling off Arra's blanket, Fate placed her hands on Arra's belly and the light dissolved into her. Fate smiled.
"After tonight, pack everything you do need. Then travel to my niece's cave home. There, she will help you while the baby grows within you...After a year when, the baby is born, go to the human world and find a home. After that...I don't know...but remember, you can make your own destiny...you just have to be brave, true and loving...You have a gift and a one that will love you dearly."
Fate stroked Arra's face and hair.
Arra smiled as she cried happily. Arra jumped forward and hugged her. "T-t-t-thank Y-y-y-y-you! Thank You Fate! Thank you so much! Fate...Thank you my friend!"
Fate hugged her back.
The past faded back to Arra and the vampires. Darren was hugging Arra and Larten had an arm around her shoulders. "So...that's how I got my gift...*Looks at Darren and kisses his head* My little sweet baby boy."
The princes smiled.
"What happened next?" Called Kurda.
Arra brushed her tear away and began.
After I packed my bags, a frog drawn carriage was waiting for me...-_-'...I know! I know! I was surprised to see Evanna knew about me!
It took us 6 weeks and I was there...
Evanna welcomed me with open arms!...And I lot a baby food...
Time went on. I helped just like I had done before...I used to work for Evanna but...anyway. My life change...but soon we would have trouble..."
