Illegitimate

I couldn't marry Ezio! That's what I kept telling myself to get me through the night. I want what's best for our child, no matter what happens. I couldn't help but think about how my life will be if I don't marry Ezio. This man basically threw me into hell, and pulled me right back up. Who's to say he wouldn't do it again?

"Daddy, what happened to mommy?" Maria was staring at Ezio. He sighed and put his fingers against his temple. "Sweetie, I know you miss mommy, but Gemma is your mommy now." Maria started to cry. "I don't want her! I want my mommy!" A woman walked into the room. She had long blonde hair, with grey eyes and a slim figure. "Ezio, come to bed. It's going to take more than a week for her to like me." Ezio got up and walked over to Maria, she kissed her on her forehead. "Get some sleep sweetie, daddy loves you." Maria cried herself to sleep.

"Don't do that around her Gems, she's having a hard time adjusting!" Ezio yelled. "Ezio, we have been married for a month and she still hates me! I know I'm not Isabelle, and I'm not trying to replace her!" Ezio walked over and grabbed Gemma by the face. "Don't ever speak of Isabelle to me." Ezio sat down on the bed and Gemma stripped from her clothes. She walked over to Ezio and straddled him. They made love to one another.

I shot up out of bed, thanking god it was only a nightmare. I kept thinking about my unborn child. I would never abandon my child! Ezio walked into my bedroom, casting a worried glance towards me. "Isabelle, what's wrong?" Before I could answer he flashed beside me with vampire speed, and caressed my cheek. "Don't be afraid, you can tell me." I melted at this adorable gaze he had on me. Like I was the only thing that mattered to him. I sighed and he dropped his hand. "It was just a nightmare."

Ezio frowned at me. "You have to tell me more than that. Isabelle, your dreams are very different, so much they become reality." He was right. "I had a dream about our baby. She was crying, wanting me. A woman came in, she was beautiful. Long blond hair, and she was known as the queen. She came in to tell you to come to bed and that it would take longer than a week for Maria to like her. You told Maria that Gemma, the woman whom was your queen was my Maria's new mommy." Ezio was frozen in his seat.

We sat there in silence for what felt like forever before Ezio spoke. I had never heard him sound so angry. "Gemma is a princess from another Vampire realm. When my father was living, King Rodger, Gemma's father, tried arranging a marriage between Gemma and I. My father agreed to it." Ezio sighed. "I hated her. She was beautiful, but she was an empty vessel. She had no humanity, she killed for sport. When her father died, and she had no King to help her rule, the council assigned a region. A man who could rule until Gemma became married. Gemma begged me to marry her, and to let our two Realms collide as one. The offer was tempting, I'm not going to lie, but I would be married to that bitch for all eternity, so I refused her and banished her from ever entering my realm." This story made me wonder about Ezio's life. "Why would you want to marry me? I'm just a filthy human, remember?" The words slipped before I could catch them.

Ezio glared at me. I felt like he was trying to peer into my soul. "You are carrying my child, our child. You are supposed to be my savoir. Usually a witch council only appears in dire situations. They are dead, and trapped on the other side. It takes a lot of energy and power to even possess someone, especially another witch!" It hurt my feelings, he only wanted me because of a stupid prophecy. "Ezio, I can't do this. I can't marry a man, that only wants me because of some stupid prophecy. You took my life from me, do me and our child the favor of freeing me. Let me leave, with our child, and have a normal life here. Let me find love."

That was the worst mistake I ever made in my entire life. "ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY? YOU ARE NOT TAKING MY CHILD AWAY FROM ME! YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE THIS CASTLE!" I couldn't stop the tears any longer, as they flowed from my face. This man could not be saved, he's too damaged. "I HATE YOU!" I screamed at him as I got off my bed and walked into the bathroom. I slammed the door shut and locked it behind me. I could not allow my child to live in this hell. I had to make a plan, and quickly. I knew nothing about this realm. I remembered the bar that Alisha took me too, and I remembered my bar buddy, Lizzy.

When the castle went quiet I put on some comfy clothes and I stuffed a bunch of clothes into a bag and threw it over my shoulder. I had to be extra quiet, vampire hearing was a bitch. I creped down the halls until I finally made my way to an exit. The door creaked open and I made a run for it, never once looking back. I had to protect myself and my child. If running was how I would protect us both, then so be it.
