My Little Heart

Promises

Year: December 2003

It was Christmas Day. The Mitchell household was quiet, as the parents were trying to keep their youngest from hearing anything. The eldest child had disappeared since the youngest child's birthday, but had returned to celebrate the holiday.

"Beca!" Five-year-old Emily shouted, as she ran to her older sister. Seventeen-year-old Beca smiled, as she picked the younger girl up. Beca was told to get Emily from her bedroom and take her to the living room. The small girl was just really excited to see her older sister.

"How's my little Emy?"

Emily grinned, as she showed Beca her fingers. "I'm this many now."

Beca acted shocked. "Really? But I saw you last month."

Emily giggled, as she hugged her sister. "Mama say Santa came."

Although they were a family of vampires, Emily was still a child. And the Mitchell family wanted to keep the youngest happy and filled with magic.

Beca gasped. "He did? What did he get you?"

"We go see Beca. Go!"

Beca carried Emily though the Christmas decorated house. She stopped in front of the tree. Beca's father and Emily's mother were already there, sitting on the couch.

"Go separate them Emy," Beca said, placing Emily on the ground. The younger girl ran to separate the presents.

Once she was done, she sat back and looked at Beca. "Open mine please."

Beca grabbed the horribly wrapped present (Emily had wanted to wrap it herself) and opened it. She grinned when she saw a bracelet with a charm on it. There was a card in the packaging as well.

"To my biggest sister, I love you very much," Beca read, placing the stuff down and opening her arms to allow Emily to jump into them.

"Open yours," Beca whispered, pointing to the little box on top of Emily's present mountain.

Emily ripped the wrapping and opened the box to see a locket inside. She opened the locket and grinned. "That's us!"

Beca smiled. "Yeah. It is. Whenever I'm not around, you can always open it and know that I'm still with you."

"I love you Beca!"

"I love you too Emy. I love you so much."

Beca then sat back and watched as her baby sister opened her presents, a grin on her face.

"You're so cool," fourteen-year-old Stacie said, looking at Beca. She had met the vampire out one night and had chosen to get to know the vampire.

The vampire shrugged, a grin on her face. "Yeah, well you're a sex demon."

Stacie shrugged. "I don't have sex. I just like the energy."

"I'm not judging. I bite people for a living," Beca told the younger girl.

Stacie stared at Beca. The vampire raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to seduce me?"

"Is it working?"

"Sorry, but no."

"Have you had sex before?"

Beca let out a laugh. "No. I haven't. I just haven't, I don't want to at the moment."

Stacie shot her a teasing smile. "Are you waiting?"
