They took Alex and I to another room. It had a lot of tools and doctorish stuff. I couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen. I was scared again. I needed to figure out how to kill my fears.
"What's going to happen to me?" I asked. Alex was avoiding questions.
"Alex," I said. He avoided my gaze.
One of the other vampires picked me up and carefully put me on the table. I gave Alex a look, and he shot one right back. I flinched.
The vampire placed his ice cold hand on my balloon of a stomach. I gasped. He took a weird looking tool and put it on my stomach next to his hand. A tiny figure appeared on a screen next to the table.
I glanced back at Alex. He was watching my face. I frowned as he looked away.
"Well?" Alex asked the vampire.
"It's growing rapidly. I'm afraid we're either going to have to get it out of her, or let her give regular birth," he said.
"When is it due?" I asked.
The doctor hesitated.
"At the end of the week," he replied.
"You're not going through this," Alex hissed.
"I want to, though," I said. His hands were on my shoulders then. He shook me gently.
"Are you crazy?" he asked. "What if something goes wrong? What if something happens? I don't want to lose you! My life would mean nothing to me if you left. I love you.
"I love you too. But, I've never heard of vampires dying from childbirth. I'll be okay," I said. Alex frowned.
"Gabriel. Take us out to hunt," he said.
He took us to the woods and left us once more.
Alex hunted for me, while I sat in a nearby tree, watching. When he finally got more than four deer down, he climbed up the tree and carried me to his kills. I sank my teeth into a huge buck.
Alex and I drained the first three deer. He after the third, the fourth was too much for him.
I couldn't stop drinking. When I finished the final deer, I searched for more. But there weren't any.
"Still thirsty?" Alex asked. I nodded. The corner of his lips twisted into a crooked smile. He got up again and raced into the trees.
He came back a few minutes later, carrying two small bears and another deer. I drained the doe and one of the bears. Alex drained the other.
"Done?" he asked. I smiled. "Okay. Lets go."
He picked me up carefully and cradled me in his arms.
He walked me back to the base. When we came through the door, Gabriel pushed us back out. He was covered in blood.
"Gabriel wh--" I said. He covered my mouth.
"We have to ge tout of here," he whispered.
"Why? What's going on?" Alex asked.
"Humans. They brought dogs, guns, everything. They killed Aaron. I think one of them is a vampire, because it would be pretty hard to kill one of us with a gun," Gabriel said.
"But what about my baby?!" I hissed. Alex's arms tightened around me.
"We don't need doctor's equipment for childbirth.
"Okay," I sighed.
Alex picked me back up again and headed back to the woods. Gabriel followed.
