Myths and Legends

Chapter Twelve

Mommy.

Mommy help me.

Mommy please help me.

I couldn't make out if it was me crying or what. The child's voice was so low and distorted that it was hard to know. And as much as I wanted to help, I couldn't move.

I woke with a start. I could see that Azaix was still driving. ''You okay?'' He asked putting his free arm around me.

''Yeah I'm okay.'' I sat up to look around. It was a lot more creepy being in the dense forest this late at night. ''I just had a weird dream.''

We talked back and forth for a while. I could tell that we were getting close being I could see shadows weaving in and out of the trees. They looked like giant wolves. Patrol wolves that walk the campground territory at night. Azaix told me they report back to him in the mornings before sleeping for the day to start all over when nightfall comes again.

Within twenty minutes both cars arrived in the center of camp. Azaix helped me out after dismissing everyone. We were all happy to be back home safe and sound. I was glad that nothing happened when Adam told us the vampires had entered the restaurant. But we were home now. Azaix and I had made it accustom to go to the treehouse.

''Did you have a good time?'' Azaix asked putting everything away. There were so many boxes to put in the refrigerator. I was surprised when he got all of it in there.

I smiled. ''Yeah I had a great time. Thank you so much for taking me on that date.''

''You're so welcome baby. If you ever want to go on another just let me know.'' I looked at him like he was crazy and he just laughed kissing my forehead. He walked to the bedroom to change. I sat at the island bar waiting for my turn. But I was also thinking of things to.

-Are you okay Moriah?-

I was growing accustom to Solar just popping in and out of my mind. I could even feel his presence when making himself known to me. ''I'm fine.''

There was silence for a second before I heard him humming. -Are you sure? I can feel that you're thinking of things. Are you still worried about tell him?-

''Yea I'm still worried about it,'' I said looking over at the bedroom door. Azaix must've jumped into the shower. I thought I could hear the sound of the water running and Solar confirmed it with a hum.

-I understand.- he said. His voice sounded distant before growing louder like it normally was. -I can try and hint it to him for you.-

That sounded good as a plan. I almost accept the offer but thought that he'd probably want me to tell him myself. I mean it would only be right for me to be the one. ''Thank you Solar but I need to be the one to tell him.''

-I understand.- he said softly. -I accept your decision then. But please wipe your worry away.- I was really listening. -There's no need to worry Moriah. Trust me. I would never tell you a lie. Please trust that Azaix will be very happy to know that he's going to be a father. So please be happy. I want you to be happy.-

It was his voice that calmed me, and right in time too. Azaix had just stepped out of the bedroom. He had some sweat pants on and no shirt. I couldn't help but to stare at his bare chest. When our eyes met he smirked at me.

''You're staring baby.'' He stated the obvious.

''I know,'' I said blushing. I was red in the face. ''You have a rocking body that's worthy of being stared at.''

''Worthy!''

''Do you disagree?'' I asked stepping down from the stool. I mean his body was perfectly toned with a six pack that would put anyone to shame. This skin is beautifully tanned but not to tanned. And last but surely not least, Azaix stood around six five to six six depending on the shoes he's wearing.
