Living Life Undead, book 1

chapter 14

1532.oct.19.4:30.pm.

I am siting alone in our home.the one i share with Diana and Roman.

It is not far from Maria.

I could not leave her.

Not now.

So for the past few years.

We have lived here.

I try to stay in during the day.

So i am not seen much.

And it has made life a lot better knowing her.

And i have grandkids!

Three.

A girl Ellie she is six.

A boy Nathan whom is four.

And a girl.Anderia whom is two.

And she will have another in a month or two.

She is beautiful.

Even if she thinks she looks fat.

I hear a knock at the door.

Whom could it be.

No one comes here.

I go to the door and open it.

And before i know it Maria is in my arms.

I was tense at first.

Because the way my mind works now.

Everything is a fight.

Then i calm down.

"What is it love?"

"Ja--Jared..he-h-"she sobbs.

She has her face in my chest.

i pull slightly back.

I didn't think it was on her mind now.

But later she may wonder why i have no heart beat.

"What?"i ask.

"He--is--dead."she sobbed.

"What? what happened.?"

"I do not know..--he--he was feeling ill.when he went to work.and he never came home .someone went looking for him and found him passed out in the street."

"Oh love."

I pull her into the living room and sit her on the couch.

"Where are the childeren?"

"With my friend."

"Okay.good.is there anything i can do for you?"

"No.thank you."

I sit beside her.

And hug her.

She sobbs into my shoulder.

(This goes on for awhile)

I pet her hair.

As she has almost stoped crying.

"Hello?"Roman says.

She looks up at him.

She has never met him.

I was hoping she never would.

"Uh.hi."she says.

I hold her closer too me.

He hasn't seen her either.

But some how seems to know.

"Uh.Maria.this is Roman.a ..friend."i say.

"Nice too meet you."she says.

"You too,but i can't stay."

He looks at me.

"Just came too tell you,we'll be gone tonight."

I nodd.

He nodds at Maria.

And walks out.

He was going to hunt.

i was going to go with them tonight

Guess not.

I could wait.

But i still must go soon.

"Does he live here?"she asked.

"Yeah.him and his..wife."

I guess you could call her that.

She nodds.

I would have to make sure she didn't see them after they

Get home.

It was the only time that you could really see we are not like others.

Their eyes.would be a dark red.

It only lasted two or so days.

But you could easly see it.

"I think i should get back to my kids"she says.

"I will go with you."

"You don't have too."

"No no,i want too its geting late.you mustn't go out alone."

She nodds.

We get up.and she gets her coat.

And we start to walk back .

"You know you are verey kind."she says.

"Thank you."

"This may sound strange but.you are like the father i never had"

I smile.

If only she knew.

"That is not strange.you needed some one.i guess that was me."

"I just always missed him."

"I know love."

I will never leave you again baby.

This i promise to you.
