Maddy's POV.
It was a bright sunny day in Paris. As all the flowers bloomed once again in the morning spring sunny. It was May 19, 2014... Erik's 21th birthday. Or 221 years old?
It's been 5 months since Erik & I got engaged on New Year Eve. We were getting married in June. I'm still not done with college, still have 3 more yrs. to go & then I'll be finish with it & become an artist/ author.
Erik & I were walking in the park on a date as usual. We sat out a picnic on a glassy hill were no one can disturber our date/ birthday. "I got you something." I said as I held out a medium size present for him. Erik was kinda shock to see someone give him a present.
He unwrapped the gift to see a beautiful music box that had a monkey playing the thimbles on top. Erik was frozen in place, trapped in his thought. "Erik? What's wrong? Don't you like it?" I said as I touched his hand. He snapped out of his thought, looked at me & smiled.
"Oh sorry my dear. It's just... I just had a flash back of my horrible childhood." I could tell that he was in deep pain when he was growing-up. After all he was born in the 19 century when people don't take too kindly to him, can't blame him.
"Please tell me about your childhood. I want to know." I said as I scooted closer to him. Erik looked over to me, then back at the present, & gave out a small sigh.
*Sigh* "Okay, I tell you about my childhood as it was not something I rather forget."
**Flash Back**

Narrator's POV.
It was a dark & stormy night. In a small house a woman was in bed, giving birth to her first child. The woman was in pain as she push with all her might.
The nurse encouraged her to try harder, so the woman push as hard as she can when she heard a soft baby cry. The nurse's face went pale as she held the new born infant in bloody rage, she screamed in terror.
The woman had no husband, for she was a widow, & now slowly dying. She held out an arm to see her baby. The nurse gave her the baby. The woman saw that her baby had a half deformed face; scares, burn marks, & more, but the woman didn't care for that she knew that she was going to die.
At least she saw the face of her new born baby. "I... shall call... you... E-Erik..." The woman said with her dying breath.
"My lady? Are you sure you would want to give a name to that... thing?" The nurse said as she was disgusted by the face of the baby. The woman paid no attention to the nurse as she was rocking her baby in her arms, saying his name over, over, & over again.
"Erik... Erik... E-Erik..." The said with her last breath. The woman closed her eyes, & died in the bed.
The nurse shook the woman, trying to wake her up, but it was no use she won't wake-up, & she'll never will.
So the nurse had the other nurses carry the body to bury it, but the nurse didn't want anyone to see the horrifying face of the baby. She wrapped the baby in clean clothes, walked outside to the wind, & rain.
She ran as fast as she can with baby Erik crying in her arms. The nurse looked every where to find to abound the little infant. Just before the nurse could think of drowning the baby she was a traveling circus gypsies.
