“I can’t” I shook my head, turning around and heading back to the house.
Sitting down in the hot bath tub I relaxed my toes. The world was falling down on me now and I couldn’t help myself not to hold on to anything. To be honest, this is really all Addison’s fault and my own. If I wouldn’t have been waiting to save Abigale from marrying into this family, none of this would have happened. I wouldn’t be two and a half months pregnant and living in a Coven house in Vermont. Touching my bare stomach I smiled to myself, inside me there was a life growing. A life that if I didn’t do something about it was going to be a disaster. I have not prepared nor have I taken any classes. I sound human. I sighed and looked out the bathroom window near my tub.
“Is it true?” A low whispered asked. Water splashed over the tub as a slashed around scared. “Anne stop I didn’t mean to startle you.” He placed a hand on my shoulder to stop me.
“What the hell are you doing in here?” I yelled pulling a bath towel into the water covering myself, soaking the towel. “You can’t just come in someone’s bathroom while they are bathing and startle them. I could have drowned you know.”
He rolled his eyes. “You still need to answer me.”
“Who told you, is what I want to know.” I asked already knowing the answer.
“My brother did but at first I didn’t believe him until I taped into your thoughts. You told me everything in just one single thought.” He said “Why didn’t you tell me, I could have helped you but it’s too late now.”
“What do you mean helped me? Helped me what get rid of it, how you could even think that. How fucking cruel are you.” I yelled dropping the towel and stepping from the tub, yanking the towel from Addison’s hands only to wrap it around me. “I may be two and a half months but I don’t want to abort it thank you. I knew I shouldn’t have of-
“Anne that is not what I meant.” He interrupted following me into my bedroom.
“Stop following me.” I screamed at him before touching my belly and bending over a little. “Oh shit”
Addison came to me and held me, not caring that I was still soaking wet from the bath that I did not finish so really in all truth I’m still stinky. Breathing in I could smell his sweet scent, the cologne he wore smelled of ember and mint. But there was another thing I smelled that I had realized; his blood. The scent made me drool like no other. He groaned as I ran my hands through his hair and gentle pushed his head to the side.
“Anne I don’t think you should do- he stopped mid-sentence as my teeth had a mind of their own by sinking into his jugular vein. His blood tasted just like sweet nectar from a honey suckle flower. I could stop myself. I haven’t fed in two days and I could already feel the difference. My skin felt stronger and my hair turned a shinier black. I felt like I could be hit by a ton of bricks and not feel a thing. Hearing Addison gasp for breath I released him and took a step back watching him fall to his knees.
“I’m so sorry” I say wiping his blood from my mouth.
“It’s alright Anne, don’t get hysterical on me.” He wheezed. “It was to be expected”
“Expected”
“Just put some cloths on and we will go see a doctor.” He said standing up and licked his thumb, “You have blood on your cheek” he rubbed his thumb on my cheek which made me lean into his touch. He left the room and told me to get dressed once again and put in the sentence that I shouldn’t wear a corset since someone will be look at me. Getting into his Jeep I sighed, now everyone would know my and his secret, unless the doctor was to be murdered after this meeting. I heard Addison chuckle as he closed the door to the Jeep.
