Light Side (Sequel to Dark Side)

Chapter 5

For the next few days, the pain came and went. But when it came, it didn't feel good.

Once, I woke up in the middle of the night to throw up. How I threw up, I don't know. All I have inside me is blood. It wasn't pretty.

One morning, I woke up before Harry. I smiled and moved his hair out of his eyes. His arm grabbed me and pulled me close, so I knew he had woken up. He just didn't want to get out of bed.

I put my face on his neck, and my hand pressed against his chest. My eyes closed again. Harry's fingers trailed through my hair. He sat us up. I rested my head on his shoulder.

"Are you feeling ok?" he asked me.

I nodded. "Yeah."

He smiled and kissed my cheek. A blush spread across my face.

"Lets go eat." he says.

I sigh and stand up, then grab my clothes. In two seconds, I'm changed. We walk downstairs, then walk outside.

"Do you need help today?" he asked.

I shook my head. "No. I'm going to do this on my own."

He nods. We get to the forest.

"There's a deer over there." Harry whispers, hiding us behind a tree.

Our fangs had fully returned, along with our red brown eyes and claws.

"Are you sure you can do it alone?" he asks.

I hesitate, then nod.

"Use your speed. The deer isn't faster than you."

My stomach fills with knots. I've never done this alone with an animal this big. Slowly, I creep around the corner and watch the deer. Then, as fast as I could, I ran at it, and caught it. But before I could get to its neck, it kicked me in the stomach. I let a small cry out as it escaped my grasp.

I groaned and watched it run away. Harry came from behind me. I looked up at him.

"I need help."

He laughed and kneeled down next to me.

"I thought you could do it alone." he says, grabbing my nose.

My face scrunched and I grabbed his fingers.

"Yeah, well, I lied. Just help me." I say.

Harry grabs my hand and helps me up.

"Alright, baby."

We ended up getting a deer. I hate being this bad at what I'm supposed to do for the rest of my never ending life.

When we got home, I felt sick again, so I went into the bathroom. I opened the toilet seat and leaned down, ready to throw up again. I sighed and groaned in pain.

"Naomi?" I heard Harry outside the door.

I kneeled down and grabbed my stomach.

"I'm fine, Harry." I say.

He obviously doesn't believe me.

"Baby, can I please come in?" he asks.

I sigh and run my fingers through my hair.

"Um, fine."

I stand up and unlock the door. Harry comes in and we just look at each other for awhile.

"Naomi, what's wrong?"

I know he's serious if he doesn't call me "baby".

I rub my arm nervously.

"I don't know. I just don't feel well."

He feels my forehead.

"It's not normal for a vampire to get sick, Naomi."

I shrug. "Well then I must be different."

The sickening feeling came back, torturing my stomach. I let out a small noise and hold onto my stomach.

"Your body must be still getting used to being like this. You haven't been a vampire for that long." he says.

I nod. "Yeah. That must be it."

He takes my hand.

"No. Can I just stay in here? Just in case?" I ask.

His grip on my hand tightened, then he let go.

"Ok. But if you need anything, please tell me." he says.

I could see the worry in his face. I gave him a half smile and a kiss on the cheek.

"I'll be ok, Harry."

He nods, but he doesn't look any less worried. I close the door and sit next to the toilet again. I sighed and hugged my legs.

"What is wrong with me?"

That night, my stupid stomach kept me up, so I was alone downstairs in the dark. I turned the TV on, and turned the volume down. This pain was eating at me, torturing me.

Once in a while, there was this sudden kick and I had to cover my mouth to prevent myself from screaming. I didn't want to wake Harry up. I ran back to the bathroom and threw up a little. A tear squeezed out as I clung to my stomach.

I ran my fingers through my hair and cried a little. I've never hurt this bad, except when I got changed. This isn't normal. This is weird, and it's scaring me.

Just one thought had to enter my mind in order to scare me to death. But that can't be possible.

I went upstairs, checked to see that Harry was still sleeping, then in vampire speed I raced down to the all night convenience store. I was the only one there. The lady at the counter smiled at me.

"Hello sweetheart. Can I help you?"

I bite my lip, then quickly hide my teeth. Rubbing my arm nervously, I walk toward her and nod.

"Um, yeah actually."

She nodded.

"What can I help you find?" She asked, coming from behind the counter.

I ran my fingers through my hair, shaking a little.

"D-Do you have, um, pregnancy tests?"
