Edna

I drag the unconscious body into the foyer, and close the door. It's very heavy but I managed it.

"Dylan?" Calls my mate from the living room. "Is that you?"

"Yeah." I say, out of breath but still pull the body into the dark room where Kathryn is sitting on the floor with the baby in her lap.

"How is she?" I kneel by them, and look at the little creature. She's beautiful... like her mother.

"Hard to calm down." Says Kathryn with a sigh. "But alright."

"Fill a bottle." I tell Kathryn, and take Edna from her. She leaves to get the supplies from the kitchen, the only other room in the house.

Edna's so small and fragile. Just a few months old. It is not fair that she has to go through all this.

"Who is this?" Kathryn asks as she enters with the supplies to draw blood.

"I don't know." I say. She doesn't question it. I look down at Edna,and she's looking up at me. Her big round eyes are rosy red, and I'm sure she'll have little canines soon.

"She looks like you." Kathryn sits down by us and fills a baby bottle with the blood.

         I smile. Edna looks like both of us, to be honest, but Kathryn insists that she's like me. I don't say anything. At such a time, I don't wanna argue with my mate after such a thing.

I take the bottle from her, and bring it near Edna's mouth. But she doesn't let me put it in, instead she starts to cry loudly, and squirms in my arms. I tense up.

"It's ok." Kathryn takes the crying baby. "Let me."

Like an experienced mother vampire, Kathryn holds Edna close to her self, and rocks her a little. The little girl calms down a bit, but she's still whining. Kathryn puts a drop of blood from the bottle onto her finger and gently placed it at the baby's lips. Edna sucks at the finger, and then, when the finger is suddenly exchanged by the bottle, she sucks happily from it.

"Thank you." I say to Kathryn and kiss her forehead as I get up to draw the curtains shut. The moon light, which was flooding the room, disappears. But we can still see as we have night vision.

Sometimes it's good being a vampire. Other times....

"What happened?" Kathryn knows the look at my face.

        We're hiding. This has happened for the first time in a millennia. Never before has a vampire couple given birth to a little baby. Edna is one of her kind, and our clan doesn't like it.

"Nothing." I tell her as I sit down by her, closing my eyes, resting my head by the wall. Kathryn rocks Edna in her arms as she leans by me and starts to hum a lullaby. The baby falls asleep. But Kathryn and I can't. We have to look out for those who want to kill our Edna....
