Love bound

New Deal

I had not seen David punch the man to the ground, I had not noticed Dwayne’s hand on my stomach and I had not noticed when the boys came standing in front on me separating me from the tracker. Placing my hands over Dwayne’s his hands were rough and cold, I could tell he was looking at me, I knew the boys were talking but I wasn’t listening. I could not get the words out of my head, he wants my baby in exchange for finding my brother, mine and Dwayne’s baby. Looking up at Dwayne his face is hard and angry. Reaching up I touch his cheek, I can feel him tense under my touch is he mad at me? Taking my hand from his face he walks over to the tracker. Kneeling he wraps his hand around his neck and brings him up with him, the sound of him choking gasping for breath fills my ears.

“make a new deal Viktor” Dwayne said threw gritted teeth squeezing his neck harder.

The tracker I know now as Viktor turns his head slightly towards me before nodding his head. Letting go he dropped to the ground gasping for breath. Turning his head back to me he stood slowly “I want the name”.

I looked at him in confusion “why do you need my babies name”?

“a name is powerful it holds one’s identity and secrets” he held out a small blank card towards me “when the baby is born, and you have it named write it down and send it to me”.

Taking the card, I look to Dwayne as he comes to me bringing his hands back to my stomach. His face was still hard and angry, I knew he was angry with me for not telling him, but I was hoping to find our son first. “now” Viktor said breaking me of my thoughts “lets go get your son” he said as he begun to lead us to the small shelter. I was following behind Marko and the others till Dwayne stopped me.

“you’re not going in their not now” he said firmly keeping a tight grip on my upper arm.

“Dwayne, we have so close to getting our son back I’m not turning back now besides I’m not that far along yet” I said trying to get tout of his iron grip.

“that doesn’t matter your pregnant you’re not going! Why didn’t you tell me you were pregnant?!” he almost shouted in an angry tone, turning to fully face him I tilt my head high.

“I’m going in to get OUR son OURS Dwayne!” I yelled “I will not stay out here and wait I have kept him safe for years he was taken because I was careless and left him alone, I wont do that again I’m going and I was going to tell you after we found him I only found out after I had my cards read” and with that I yanked my arm out of his grip and began running to catch up with the boys.

Stepping inside I was hit with a rush of cold air and the smell of a dead animal the only light was the small headlight above us. The room was small it fitted a small table with a vase of Passiflora’s a small white paper, in the corner small snow globes and old stitched up stuffed animals.

“that’s an odd flower” Paul said as he studied the flowers

“there Passiflora’s the passion flower they are my favorite” I sigh remembering when I would pick them in a field outside my neighbor’s house.

“so, I’m guessing old pops is the one who placed them here?” Marko called from the corner as her messed with the animals. Nodding I began to walk around the small room.

“I’m not seeing any sign of little man around here em” Paul pointed out

“my father always had a thing for mystery he would have made it hard, look for some type of door”

We began moving things around the table, the animals, David kneeled and began moving the rug “hey em” I walk to him kneeling beside him under the rug was a metal sliding door. Pushing it open he hoped down, a few seconds later he had found a switch allowing us to see down the dark hole.

Reaching up he helped me down next came Marko, Paul, Dwayne, and then Viktor. Keeping me in the middle David and Marko led the way Dwayne and Paul staying close behind me in case Viktor tried to turn on us. Walking down the long hall we came to a fork both ways were dark, so I wouldn’t be able to see.

“Paul Dwayne you two take Emery and go right we’ll take Viktor and go left we meet back in an hour” With that we went our separate ways.

It was cold and dark, occasionally I’d almost trip each time I reach out and grab ahold of Dwayne. I guess he got tired of me falling because he got down and started carrying me on his back. Hugging him close I tired to see up head, but it was no use.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, I was really waiting till we fond Charles” I said laying my head on his shoulder

“it’s alright I understand why you didn’t I’m madder that I did not scenes it first, what kind of vampire am I if I can’t tell that Fiancé is pregnant”

“the kind that’s going to be an amazing dad, and one that I’m in love with” I say as I finally look back up to see a small light up ahead.

Walking faster as we got closer, I could make out a dresser and a book shelf. Getting inside the room I realize it was set up like Charles old room it had the old wall paper it was lazily taped to the walls, it had his teddy bear lamp, his book shelf full of old children stories, his dresser, and in the corner his bed. Walking closer I began to see what looked like a small child in the bed. Quickly I run closer to my excitement it was him I had finally found Charles.
