Speed

When I woke from my sleep, I felt different. I got up and slipped on my slippers. I made my way to the bathroom and stopped looking at myself in the mirror. I looked about five months pregnant, belly and all. I could feel Maria moving and kicking around in my wound. What the hell? This was most definitely impossible! Just yesterday I barely had a bump! I almost fell when Ezio caught me. "Isabelle, you need to get back in be-." His sentence was cut short, when he realised that my stomach had grown over night. "Ezio, help me." I screamed. I was in so much pain. I felt as if Maria was chewing through me.

I couldn't stop screaming, I was in so much pain. Ezio tried feeding me his blood, but it didn't work! Dorinda busted through the door. Only it wasn't her. It was an elder. "Get the fuck away from her, witch." Ezio inserted himself between us both. "Get out of my way, or she will die!" I screamed out. I could feel Maria, and I knew she was trying to chew her way out of me. Ezio moved out of the way and the elder sat down beside me with a glass of blood. It was Dorinda's.

"Drink that, we have to deliver tonight." I grabbed the red liquid and let it flow smoothly down my throat. Maria settled down and the pain stopped. "Sh-she stopped." Ezio was frozen. The elder looked at me, with a serious expression written on Dorinda's face. "She has stopped for now, she will not stop for long. We have to get her out now, or next time you will die!" Before I had time to respond the elder started chanting and Maria appeared. Maria walked over to Ezio, placing both hands on his shoulder, but it was like he didn't notice it. Before darkness took me I looked at Ezio and smiled. "You look like your mother." I heard the elder gasp and the darkness over powered me.

"Isabelle?" I heard a angelic voice from behind me. I turned to find Maria. "A-am I dead?" I almost wanted to cry. Maria smiled. "No sweetie, your not dead. Your spirit was sent here while Glenda pulled little Maria out of you, when she is finished and Ezio heals you then she will send you back into your body." So I was dead, but I wasn't dead? That made no sense. "What about my baby?" Maria smiled. "She's fine. Don't worry! She's in the best care!" I had so many questions!

"Why did my pregnancy speed up so fast?" She sighed and sat down next to me. "Your pregnancy was unlike any other. You became pregnant by a vampire, Isabelle. Vampires have great speed." Well, I knew that. "Will my child be half vampire?" Maria nodded her head. "Yes, she will be. She will also be half human, until she reaches eighteen. When she turns eighteen her vampire side will kill her human side and she will be full vampire." This was way too much information to take in at once. I walked over and sat beside Maria while Glenda delivered my baby.

"You know, I look forward to seeing you drag my son from hell." Maria smiled. What the hell? "With all due respect, your son is not in hell." I frowned at her rude words. "Oh sweetie, but he is. He's only now trying to climb back up. I have sat back in this other side, watching him grow into the most feared king that has ever ruled Serta. I have seen Ezio at his worst dear. He can be saved, but I understand now why they made you." They? Who are they? "Was I not born into this world like everyone else?" Maria's eyes got big and worried. "I've spoken too much, my dear. I must not continue." She can't stop now! She has already spilled too much. "Please, as my child's grandmother, please tell me what you know."

Maria glanced around her, looking as if she was being watched. I grabbed her hand and forced her gaze back to me. "Sweet heart. All supernatural beings live here. It is our own personal hell. I am not Ezios only parent here, and the tyrant you have learned all too much of is also here." Ezio father was here? "If he learns I am here, he will come looking for me for vengeance against Ezio. Am I right?" Maria nodded. "Giuseppe can not get in this room, Glenda had casted a spell upon it to keep Ezio enemies in tact until you are back in your body." Then why couldn't she tell me? "Please, tell me why you said they made me." Maria shook her head. "I can not. I am not the one that is supposed to tell you. You have to find out for yourself." Maria was starting to fade away. "Please, I need to know so much more. Don't leave me!" Maria smiled softly behind the shimmering distance. "Do not be afraid child, you will know soon enough. You belong with my child." Before I could ask her anything else, Maria was gone.

I was back in my body, but I wasn't awake. It's like my body was trying to rest, but I could hear everything around me. I could hear the faint cries of an infant, and I felt something hard against my body. "Please come back to me baby. Don't leave us, I love you so much. I can't live in this world without you. Please baby, please come back." Glenda walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Allow her to rest, she has to find her way back to you." Ezio stayed right by my side the entire time I was searching for a way back. He started calling to me, and my eyes opened.
