"Thanks again for letting us stay." Sypha thanked Katherine as she helped the healing mother hang the sheets.
"No problem. It's the little I can do after you helped me deliver my little Elizabeth."
Sypha nods before looking up at the sky.
"Later, we're going to the Belmont Manor."
"How come? I thought their home was destroyed years ago by the church."
"W-We're going to..." Sypha looks down and Katherine's eyes widen as she understands why they hadn't told her.
"I understand."
Katherine picked the basket up and both women headed inside where Alucruad was busy cradling his baby sister to sleep.
"He won't stop holding the damn baby."
"Shut the fuck up."
"Aye, language!" Katherine calls out to the two adult boys as Sypha giggles and Katherine takes her daughter.
"Hi, sweetie." She smiled as her daughter smiled and looked up at her mother.
"So, you're all going to the Belmont's burned manor?"
"Yeah." Alucruad nods.
"Keep an eye out you three. I heard Dracula's beast are keeping a close eye everywhere."
They all nod and turn to one another, as Katherine lays her daughter on the crib her brother made for her.
------------------------------
"Goodnight," Katherine whispered to her sleeping baby before kissing Elizabeth's forehead.
She turned to the window where she saw night creatures fly back and forth, some even carrying the dismembered parts of those who dared to run or attack them. Katherine holds her necklace as she thinks about her daughter's life without her father. Will Dracula die believing Elizabeth was never his? Will he die believing his wife betrayed him? What would he think before he died?
She turns to a sleeping Elizabeth and tears run down as she admires her little one.
"This won't be the way things end." She whispers to Elizabeth before grabbing her cloak and wrapping her daughter around Alucruad's cape( which was now Elizabeth's makeshift blanket).
Katherine takes a paper and begins writing a note for Alucruad and his friends for when they arrive from the Belmont manor. As she seals the letter she turns to her daughter and smiles softly before taking her into her arms.
Katherine leaves her house, and with her daughter in her arms, she takes a horse from a nearby farm, before riding back to speak to the father of her daughter.
