The Transitioning Series: Transfiguring

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Certain Things Mend Us

"So you see, she's back and we need to find her." Oliver spoke to Isabelle and Leo and he watched as they agreed to help find Kaitlyn.
"We'll help you." Isabelle spoke gently.
"I killed her once, and I'll do it again." Leo threatened.
"We'll need some help with killing her. She's been dead before, obviously she knows how to resurrect herself... So we need something that will keep her dead."
"Sasha can help. I'll call her into town, and if we really need it Chloe is just a phone call away." Isabelle replied back to him, smiling assuring him. "Where's Chelsea?"
"We're having a break from one another... We've clashed again."
"Why what's happened now?"
"I think it's best if she tells you herself." He sighed and got up from the seat. "I'm going to go, I just want to Thank You for helping me, I'll be looking for her in the mean time." Isabelle and Leo watched Oliver walk off.
"Leo, go see if he's alright. I'll go see Chelsea and see what's happened between them. This isn't a good time for them to have a fight."
"Okay baby, I'll call you if I find out anything." Leo kissed Isabelle's forehead and left her. Isabelle left a few moments after going straight to Chelsea's house.

Chelsea sat up in her bed and sat on the edge for a few minutes before getting up and looking at herself in the mirror. "Jesus Christ." She shouted out loud and looked at herself. She moved her hands from her hips and put them on her fast growing tummy. "I've never noticed it before."
"So this is why you two are fighting?" Isabelle's voice pop up and made Chelsea jump, she spun around and looked at her best friend, the shock on Isabelle's face said it all. "Care to explain?"
"Umm.. I guess so."

"So just to clarify, the baby is Olivers?"
"Yes! Not you too."
"Sorry!" Isabelle held her hands up. "But I still don't get it."
"Neither do I." Chelsea shrugged her shoulders and continued to eat her food.
"No what I mean is, the doctor said you are four months gone... So if I calculate... You must of got pregnant when you were still a vampire? Which doesn't add up." Chelsea stared at her friend for a while.
"But how?"
"Think back what you were doing all them months ago..."
"Um... I was having the time of my life. But when I was away I wasn't with Oliver to get pregnant or whatever."
"So what caused you to get pregnant.. Obviously there's magic involved... Which I don't know how."
"I know it sounds strange, but lately everything has been strange and ridiculous... What happens if my body was already spelled... I mean, I'm a human now so obviously it was magic that caused my transformation back into Human, so we can't rule out witches weren't involved."
"There's a poss-"
"You don't actually start showing or getting proper symptoms till the end of the first trimester anyways." Chelsea interjected.
"Okay.. So four months ago. What did you do?"
"Well from what I could remember, that must of been when I turned back."
"Did you and Oliver have sex?" Chelsea nodded her head. "Then that's where it connects. We need to find out what caused this all to happen." Isabelle looked at her best friend and nodded her head.
"Well I'll help..."
"Are you mad? You're human and should I mention that?"
"What? I'm still strong..."
"Not strong like me anymore, sorry my love... You are just a weak little human now who's carrying a vampire baby."
"Nothing weird with that eh?" They both laughed. "How are you going to find out how and when it happened?"
"Well we have a few people here who can help with the search, God forbid we find this cause before the baby is born. You haven't got long." Izzy smiled at her and saw Chelsea's expression sadden. "What's wrong?"
"Well... I don't know. But all I know is that this little a baby is going to be here in a matter of months and I'm so not ready for this."
"You'll be okay."
"Will I though?"
"Oh Chelsea stop being stupid, it will come naturally! Every woman is like this until the bundle of joy arrives."
"You're more excited than me? How is that even fair?" Chelsea asked Isabelle and she shrugged her shoulders.
"I would love to have a baby, but since I turned and I can never have children and it does, it does upset me. But I wouldn't trade this world in at all."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I love the life I live now. I'm in my happy place, with the person I love. My friends are all by my side... And I'm going to be an auntie!!" She squealed and Chelsea laughed before wincing and gripping onto her stomach. "What's wrong? Is it the baby?"
"I think it's moving..." Chelsea made a face and Isabelle couldn't help but laugh. "Don't laugh, here feel." Chelsea pulled Iz's hands to her belly and waited for the baby to move. "Isn't it too early for the baby to move?"
"Nope, the baby moves all the time."
"No I mean like this... Oh here it goes again." The baby did somersaults in her stomach, kicking and punching from the inside.
"Well considering your baby is part vampire, I wouldn't rule it out at all. God knows how strong the baby is already." Chelsea bit her bottom lip and looked worried.
"I just hope nothing is going to happen to me."
"It won't. I'll stay here until the little one arrives."
"That's ages... You can't."
"Hey! I'm not missing the birth of the little one."
"That's months away...."
"Chelsea... Shut up. I'm spending the next few weeks with my father anyways. There's gonna be days or some weeks where I won't be in town because I've had to pop home, but other than that. I'll be here. Plus I'm only a phone call away if you ever need someone to talk to. We did it before, and we can do it again." Chelsea smiled and moved forward hugging her best friend. "Oh god, I forgot what it was like to have human blood around again..." Isabelle gulped and Chelsea moved back a little. "Don't worry I'll be fine, it's been a fortnight since I've had something strong, so I'm going to go, fill up and check on Leo."
"Okay, thanks for coming to see me."
"Love you Chels."
"Love you too, Iz." Chelsea kissed her friends cheek and watched as she left. Chelsea rubbed her stomach and felt the baby knock from the inside and that made her heart swell. Chelsea looked down at the counter and then gasped as she thought about it long and hard, she spoke out loud.
"I was human when I conceived." Was all she said.

"When was the last time you spoke to her? The last time you saw her?"
"What is this twenty questions?" Alex grumbled.
"Until we find her yes."
"Like I've said like a trillion times now... She was here. And now she isn't. She hasn't said where she has gone and I don't even know what she looks like. She could've covered her tracks and jumped into another body."
"Alex seriously, we need your help."
"Oliver I don't want to help, all I want is my daughter. That is all I want, is that too much to ask? For you to leave me alone while I look for some leads?"
"Yes it is. Please Alex."
"What's in it for me?" She bargained.
"I'll help you find your daughter." Alex scoffed. "No I mean it, no bullshit. I'll help you." Alex looked into his eyes. "I don't want what's happening to Chelsea to end up what happened to you." Alex stayed silent. "I trusted you all them centuries ago, I let you into my home. I tried to help you find your daughter when you were young yourself. I've never failed that promise to you."
"Yet you left like everyone else." She turned around and looked out the window for a couple of minutes before spinning back round and looking him dead in the face. She scattered her eyes a few times, seeing Leo by the door and Zoey not too far away. "Since when have any of you cared about helping me? None of you care about me and the only reason why you are trying to buy my alliance is because you don't want Chelsea to end up how I ended up. So no, I won't help you. I'm done with all this, I'm leaving town." Alex shrugged on her jacket, and walked past them.
"Alex don't do this, please. We need you."
"No, you need everything but myself. I've had it. If you even try to stop me, I will grab your heart from your chest and burn it. Now listen to my warning, I'm a done playing these stupid little games." She walked out of his place and ran away. Oliver looked to Leo and saw him wince.
"Yeah... I don't think she'll be helping us." Leo commented.
"Oliver, we need to find out where Kaitlyn is." Zoey spoke gently.
"I know."

Alex walked into the bar, at least twenty miles from town. The bar was quite empty and the only noise was the sound of bottles smashing over in the corner. "I knew you would return." The girl turned around on the stool and faced Alex.
"You've changed again."
"Well you know. Now they know I am alive again, I've got to watch my back. So jumping into someone else's body was the next thing on my agenda. Do you like?"
"Yeah, you look nice." Alex looked at Kaitlyn. The body she was in was now, slim and tall. With long blonde hair and bright blue eyes, completely different to what she would've normally looked like. Alex stepped forward and grabbed Kaitlyn's hair, gripping it tight in her palm, bringing her closer to her face. "You lied to me."
"I'm protecting you."
"From what?" Kaitlyn stayed silent. "From what?" She asked again.
"Everything. Remember that awful man who took  advantage of you and got you pregnant?" Alex looked at her.
"How do you know about that? That was a secret."
"Honey, I know everything. News travels much faster in this world. Now I need you to do something for me?"
"What?" Alex sat down on the stool next to her and watched her.
"I want you to kill Sophie."
"Chelsea's sister? For what possible reason?"
"Just because..."
"She's too young, you can't."
"I can do what I want. If you don't like it, I'll do it myself."
"But why? You've done so much to Chelsea's life why can't you leave her now?"
"You know what bugs me... Is that you become soft. All them years ago, you were strong... Now you aren't even worth the vampire title." Alex watched as Kaitlyn jumped up onto the bar and leaned back grabbing a bottle of vodka and drinking it straight. Alex turned away and walked over to the jukebox, kicking it into gear and letting a song play. She watched Kaitlyn from afar as she let herself go and drink some more. She strutted over and grabbed the bottle out of her hand and swigged the drink, feeling the liquid burn as it went down. She jumped up and sat on the bar so both legs were either side of the counter. "I don't know why you changed Alexandra." She said slowly and fierce. Alex leaned forward looking into her eyes. She pulled her hair forward and attacked her lips with hers. Kissing her roughly, Kaitlyn pushed herself to move her whole body on top of Alex's as she lowered her back onto the bar completely. Kaitlyn's blonde hair got in the way, which agitated Alex. So she quickly flipped herself over so she was on top and trailed kisses down the body Kaitlyn was inhabiting.  The music played out as they continued to kiss, Alex pushed Kaitlyn's top up and over her head and threw it over her head. Alex bent down and started to kiss Kaitlyn's torso, looking up at her withering body as her light kisses felt like butterflies landing on her skin... The only sounds in the bar was the sound of giggling and cries as the music barely drowned it out.
