Moonlit Path

Acceptance

I woke up to a dimly lit room and my throat was burning. Another month passed and everything is going just the way dad wants it to be, but it's too slow for me. I need to act on it soon or else my son will have the same outcome as Xyril.

"Babe, wake up." I lightly nudged Chris.

"Hmmm." He opened his eyes and sat up.

"I... I need to..." I bit my lip then shook my head, "Sorry for waking you up. Let's go back to sleep." I smiled.

"No. no. You need to feed?" he asked as he started planting kisses on my bare shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I can wait til later." I smiled.

"No. You need it now." he grabbed me by the head and let me feed from his neck. I fed just until the burning was tolerable. "You didn't feed enough." he smiled as he rested his forehead on mine.

"I'm fine now." I smiled at him and gave him a kiss.

"Come here." He kissed me and pulled me down, making me lay on top of him. He rolled me over to my back and smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too." I smiled back.

"Don't worry, I know you're not in the mood for it." he chuckled and kissed me again. "Do you wanna go see André? He suddenly asked.

"What?" I sat up, "How?" my lips started to tremble as I long for my son.

"Lay down." he smiled, he laid behind me and held me tight. "Now close your eyes" I did and all of a sudden we are back in the meadow.

"Sage!" Scott shouted as I ran towards him.

"Scott. Oh my gosh." I hugged him and he hugged back. When I pulled away, I looked back but Chris wasn't there. "Christopher..."

"He's fine. He's your anchor right now, that's why it's only you." Scott took my hand and led me inside.

"Where's André?" I asked.

"In the nursery. Go on, it's almost time for him to be fed." Scott smiled and let me be alone with my son. Once he was fed, I carried him to the living room and sat there with Scott. I filled him in on what I have been doing.

"I'll have you two back home soon." I smiled.

"Don't push yourself though." he smiled, then there was a knock on the door.

"No. no. I don't want to go yet." I cried as Scott took André from me and I was pulled back to the realm of the living.

"NO! No..." I cried and Chris rubbed my back as I sat down.

"I'm sorry, sweets. I can't do it for a long time yet." he kissed my shoulder.

"It's okay." I turned around and straddled him as he rested his back on the headboard. I started kissing him like there's no tomorrow. I just want to forget just for a little while and he knew what he needed to do.

A few days have passed and I'm confident in what I can do now. I waited for dad to wake up and told him my plans.

"It's too early for that." he exclaimed.

"I need my son and my bestfriend back and I will do anything and everything to get them back as soon as possible." I shouted before walking off to the backyard. When I was far enough from the kitchen I called on Silas. "SILAS!" nothing. I shouted his name again.

"Elizabeth, what is it that you need that you need to rush me?" He said as soon as he appeared behind me.

"I need André and Scott back." I said.
