The Vampire: The Life of Katherine

Chapter 4

October 6th 1671

Bolton England, a portal opens up into a field next to a beautiful farm house, Katrina and Amon step out of the portal, carrying what looks to be presents. Amon turns to the woman on the other side of the portal.

"That will be all Jade, thy will summon you when we wish to leave." He tells the pretty brunette witch with a flirtatious smirk. Jade bows with a smile on her face and closes the portal.

Katrina links Amon's arm, and they head towards the farm.

"Thy is so nervous, thy hope she likes what we've got her." Katrina says in a nervous tone.

"Why you are so bothered about this annoying child that we can't even eat I'll never know." He tells her. Katrina slaps his chest.

"Don't talk like that about our daughter Benny boy." she tells him.

"Our so-called daughter as you put it, is scared of us, I'm not feeling the love." He tells her with a smile. Katrina just glares at him.

When they reach the front door they enter and are greeted by 5 magicals, 3 women and two men and a beautiful little red haired girl who is running around the house yelling that she's 5 today at the top of her voice.

"Aurora enough!" Amon yells. Aurora sees him and Katrina and fear crawls up her spine she bows her head.

"Sorry father I'm just excited that I'm five and thy is a big girl now." She says with a smile Amon nods at her and goes to speak to the magicals about Aurora, as he doesn't like children and much prefer to hear about her progress.

Leaving Katrina and the child Aurora who was gifted to them by Lucifer last year after they helped out in Salem, according to Lucifer she is to be very powerful, Katrina puts the presents down.

"Come have a look what thy has got you for thy birthday my sunshine." Katrina tells her, Aurora looks at Katrina rather scared

"I'm scared." She tells her with sadness in her voice.

Katrina walks over to Aurora and bends down and looks her in the eyes.

"You are my daughter and most favourite person in the whole world, there's no need to be scared of me or your father we would never hurt you my darling." Katrina tells her with tears in her eyes, Katrina has never felt this much love in her whole life not even towards her parents, but Aurora brings it out of her, Aurora's little hand reaches up and wipes her tears.

"I'm sorry mother I'm just being silly, don't cry." Aurora tells her and puts her arms around Katrina in a warm embrace. Katrina leans back and kisses Aurora's forehead, then wipes her eyes.

"Would thy like to see what we've brought you my darling?" Katrina asked Aurora nodded with a beaming smile.

Over the next few hours Aurora had opened all her gifts and was playing with her dolls house which is an exact replica of the Ledger estate. Amon walks in with two glasses of rum and hands one to Katrina.

"Does thy like thy gifts sunshine?" Amon asked her with a grin.

"Yes father I love them, especially this house of yours and mother's, it'll be like we are never apart." She says with a smile.

"That's great sweetheart, does thy remember what you wanted for thy birthday?" Amon asked her.

"Yes father, thy asked for a pretty horse, but I'm happy with all this." She tells him.

"Well your father and I have two more gifts for thee, would you like them?" Katrina asked smiling then takes a sip of her rum.

"Yes please mother." Aurora says excitedly while jumping up and down.
