Chapter Two

Angel had fallen asleep beside her little brother in his bed. She was babysitting, she had the doors locked already. She knew no one could get it.

Or so she thought.

A dark figure of a man with long dark colored hair, wearing all black stood in front of the bedroom window. He looked at the young girl, sleeping peacfully near a young boy around four.

The man walked over to the young girl, and placed a gentle hand on her forehead. Eric moved the girl's bangs out of her face, closed his eyes and got a flash back to the past.

"Eric it hurts!" A young girl around sixteen, fully in labor.

"It's okay kiddo." A young Eric said, wiping her forehead. He was about nineteen at the time.

"Okay Rebecca, I need you to give me three good hard pushes and this little baby will be out of you." A doctor said, looking to see how dialated Rebecca was.

The young girl named Rebecca gave a small nod before she began pushing, trying to get her daughter out of her. It seemed like hours for both Rebecca and Eric as Rebecca kept screaming, pushing and crying trying to birth the small infiant inside her.

After eleven hours, the room was filled with loud cries from a baby. Rebecca grabbed hold of her brother's arm tighter, looking at the sight of the baby the nurse was cleaning off. She smiled as soft tears fell down her face.

"Ms. Draven," A blonde-haired nurse said after getting everything ready on the small baby. She held the small baby in a light, fluffy pink blanket walking over to the brother and sister.

"Yes?" Rebecca said sitting up a little bit, due to being a little tired.

"I would love you to meet your new baby girl." The nurse smiled, placing the small infiant into the new mother's arms.

Rebecca looked down at her daughter smiling. "She's beautiful."

"She really is, sis." Eric said, reaching out and running is index finger softly on his niece's cheek. He noticed an oddly shaped mark under her right eye. "Her birthmark looks just like a heart."

"It really does, Eric." Rebecca said giggling.

"What you gonna name her?"

"Hmmm? I'm not sure."

"How about Angel?" The nurse asked.

"That's perfect." Rebecca said whispering.

"Huh?" Eric asked, confused.

"Angel."

"Hmm. Fits her."

"Erica Angel Draven." Rebecca said smiling. She looked at her older brother, looking at him smile also.

Eric felt his niece's small hand wrap around his finger, her brown eyes opened a little bit looking uptoward her mother and uncle.

"Hey, Angel," Eric said smiling. Wiggling his finger, acting like he was shaking her hand. "I'm your uncle Eric. I'm going to always be there for you...I promise."

Angel opened her small, brown eyes again only this time smiling a little bit before going back to sleep. She slept in her mother's arms as her mother slept holding her.

Eric smiled pushing his sister's bangs out of her face as she slept. "I'm always going to love you, too, kiddo. I promise you that. Always."

Eric smooth down his niece's hair, amazed at how much she's grown and how much he has missed out on her growing up. He could hear someone walking up the stairs. Panicing, he quickly and softly kissed his niece on her forehead. "I'm always going to be here, Angel. I promise."

In a blink of an eye, he was gone and just in time to have Peggie walk in to check on her two children. When she saw they were both napping, she didn't have the heart to wake them so she allowed them to sleep more. She closed the door silently behind her.
