Beyond Human: Queen's Shadow Series

13.) The Devil Herself

~~~Henrietta

There was so much commotion a few days ago. multiple gunshots went off in the church which made me worried. Most of the vampires here feed out of blood bags instead of people. Firstly our choir's children are feeling sick so they didn't sing this Sunday. Their voices are so Heavenly and beautiful, despite their bodies they are the most optimistic about the children I've ever met. You learn more through the perspectives of others. It makes me so happy to be a blessed again Christian.

We live in such a beautiful place. Europe has always been a beautiful place though. Though it was a center for a lot of War over the coming years it was beautiful. I'm glad that the war is over it took its toll on the country. The number of innocent people that were murdered on the continent was atrocious, I hope we can share the love of God all over this world. I hope people can see vampires as more than just creatures of the night, I hope they can see us as individuals who are one of God's creations. The queen may have been a progenitor but she was born from God, she was also one of the first humans if we're going by the proper history. Meaning she was meant to be here, she was meant to do the things she does and did.

'Sister Henrietta?' My thoughts were interrupted by Darla. Yes sister I say with a smile. You do know the kids need us right? Yes, it was time for us to feed them, they didn't require much but if we don't things could get a little hectic. I walked to the children's room. I see them all playing with various toys. Ali and Marcus, are playing with cars they found a few years ago. They both had a favorite car, Ali's being blue and Marcus's being red. They have other things they do together but they always play with those cars. I bring one of the human sisters with me to help feed the children.

It was unorthodox, but the children has to feed on a living person. They specifically needed virgins. A virgin gave them the sustenance they needed even though they didn't eat much. It makes me wonder, why did they have such a different hunger. Vampires could feed on anyone, as long as the person had a pulse. These children required versions, otherwise, they would enter an insatiable hunger. They said when so many people before someone figured out maybe a virgin could help.

As the sister began to pull a small knife out. I see the kids didn't even notice, Claire was drawing her favorite animals. Her one blue eye focused intently on finishing another unicorn. All the children were in school uniforms, it seemed like it was comfortable for them. Even Dottie wore some, she had more bandages around her body to protect her from the Sun. The only time I've ever seen the girl fully nude was when she was asleep in her coffin. With sleeping, especially with her nightmares.

The boys give her plenty of privacy though, they don't even stay in the same room when she is getting changed. Everyone knew her story and some people even felt bad for her, but she is always resilient, happy, and knows how to light up a room. 'He's coming soon,' I hear Ali say out loud. 'Is he really?' Marcus says with a smile. Dottie then says, 'of course Ali's telling the truth.' She says proudly, 'we're all waiting for him,'. Claire says. I see all of their smiles on their face, children who have seen hell and are still so happy.

"So you will agree to my terms?" I couldn't believe it, I thought they were going to keep coming. It cost over $100,000 and 30 minutes with Lilith. I had to read her report and give it to her ahead of time. The next few weeks are going to be quite busy, but I'm going to have to call reinforcements. I'm not going to be able to protect Everyone by myself. Lucia being here by my side is great but I have hardly seen her. She's not religious so she doesn't bother with the church.

I am curious as to why she walked away from her faith. With everything happening now with vampires being real and every other one of God's creations being real, I would think she would believe the most. Then again, what God would create vampires, humans, werewolves, and whatever else exists especially when dealing with an immortal madman that causes chaos? Though the problem with all the logic of mine, she exists, too: Zamiel. Lucifer and every other vampire. They are all real, so the real question is God real, or are they just some abnormality that exists above us? I play with my beard some more as Richard then says: 'Hey dead man. We agreed to your terms, we understand your terms and now it's time for you to get the hell out.'
