Chapter 149 Preparing To Welcome A Child
I look into the eyes of my beloved. What stares back at me is not her soft blue eyes, but instead, bottomless black holes. There is an evil on her face that stretches her smile far beyond of what her face is capable of holding. I have, much to my own disgust, kissed some ungodly creature, and it is not my beloved. Well, yes, it is the body of my beloved, but it has been possessed by some greater evil. What, that I truly do not know. But we shall soon find out as the boys step inside the room.
The immediate reaction of my beloved is a clear look of terror. She, or should I say this evil, must know who the Windchaser boys and even dear old Bobby are.
So I step back from Anastasia, where she is clinging to the box with great force, and I join Breyden by his side. Now, I do not care how this plays out; all I need is for my baby to be protected. But then, Breyden, much to my annoyance, needs to remind me of one simple fact.
"Sebastian, we do not know if that is a Vampire. Let Morgana come, and she can tell us."
I did not wish to involve Morgana in this fight, but it seems that her presence will now be required. She shall be able to tell us what creature the child is that my beloved carries. And god, I do hope that it is Vampire, I will even settle for Human. But since the child is not the prophecy, well, there is no idea in telling what it is.
So as Morgana enters the room, we all see how Anastasia's eyes widen. Now, of course, it will; she only met Morgana but a few days ago. But then, from a deep rumble in her chest, Anastasia starts talking in one ungodly voice. I can see next to me as the boys nearly tremble.
"Well, look who it is. The witch."
"Wizard, my dear. And I thought you were dead."
With that, we snap our heads to the right to face Morgana. Connor is the first to speak, "Please do explain, Morgana."
"Well, it seems that dear Sebastian and his Vampire army did not kill the King of the Underworld."
"My dear, Morgana, I did kill the monster. If my Anastasia were in her mind, then she would have agreed."
"Then tell me, how is it that Elloise could have taken his essence and placed it inside Anastasia?"
"First of all, Morgana, Elloise is dead. And second, what do you mean inside Anastasia?"
I can see Morgana fighting the incredible urge to laugh at me in a rather amusing manner, but I can safely say that the impression on my face is letting her decide against that. So she only but continues to explain while Anastasia is starting to step backward.
"Sebastian, your child, the baby you think that is a Vampire growing in your Anastasia, well, that is the very own King of the Underworld, Lucius, that will be reborn."
Then Connor speaks from beside me, making his very own observation, "That shall explain the opening of the box to gather the power."
"To build a new army," Ethan adds.
Then Bobby bursts out, saying, "God, you know how to seriously mess things up, Sebastian. Now, what do we do about this problem?" He points towards my beloved's belly that has grown far bigger than the last time that I saw it. "Well, Morgana, please tell me that there is a way to rid of the Kind of the Underworld without having to leave Anastasia's belly."
But just as Morgana wants to speak, there comes the deep rumble of laughter from Anastasia again. Now, I can safely say that my beloved is not present at the moment, and something gives me the idea that she has not been for a while. With that, we hear Lucius come through clear as he speaks, "My dear Sebastian, your beloved is dying either way. If you kill me, she dies; if she delivers, she dies. You might as well give up, for it is futile."
"Please do humor me for a second, but I saw your body fall to ash at my feet. How is it possible for you to be here?"
"Simple, you were not looking when I left the vessel. You have no idea how long I have been looking for a witch that hates you as much as I do. But then I found a fairy."
"Guess I am not used to killing demons then, but I can promise you, my friend, you shall not survive."
But then I have Connor bumping my shoulder; well, if I thought the man knows how to kill this creature, then I am wrong. The thing is, he knows how to kill a demon, but not quite one that is in the belly of a human, or should I say, Vampire. So the question begs, what do we do now.
Then, as if I even had to ask, I hear the door behind us open. Now I think that I have a very good idea of who it is, but as I turn around, I am sadly mistaken.
"Stefan, what are you doing here?"
"Sebastian, I came to see my father."
"But how did you know?" I turn around, looking for Lilith.
"Oh," Stefan starts to say, "She is having a nap. She has been driving me mad."
"But," I hesitate for a moment, then it hits me. "Lucius, your father, he has been in your body all this time?"
"Wow, that only took you forever. Not even your Angel here got that one figured out, but then again, he has been chasing Lilith so relentlessly that he has not been thinking with his mind since he got here."

Well, now I did not think I would have ever expected this move. I must say, well played and patiently waited. But why my beloved, now there is only one answer to that one.
"So you and your father get revenge on me and take Anastasia?"
"How else then," Stefan says. "Did you ever think that I was going to be comfortable living here between these Vampires?"
"But you..."
"Yes, I played the part very well."
"This is insane."
"The only insane thing, Sebastian, is us taking your beloved and the box."
"Ha! But you are only one. We are five."
"Yes, five idiots that have their backs turned on the door. Now dear Elloise, please find me a pathway out from here."
With that, there is a large thud as lights of bolting strike the floor just as we are turning to face the door. In steps Elloise, casting a spell for Stefan to leave the room safely with Anastasia, but Morgana is one faster and places a bubble to protect us from being struck down by the lashing of fire that Elloise is sending our way.
It is with pure horror that I see Stefan leading Anastasia past us towards the door. My cries to Morgana to let go of her spell goes onto complete death ears. But I know if she does let the dome drop, that we all, every single one of us, will be dead.
And once Stefan has gone with Anastasia and Elloise, the boys come together with a newfound fight.
"We cannot let Lucius be born," Connor says.
Then Bobby adds, "He will rip the world apart."
"Forget the damn world; he is going to rip Anastasia apart," I say.

"Morgana, by the looks of Anastasia, it is only, but a mere day then she shall give birth."
"Then best we start finding them, they would not have gotten far," Ethan says. "We can do a location spell. We shall worry about the birth once we have found Anastasia and that box."
Just then, the door in front of us slowly opens. Now the chances that they have comes back are slim to nothing. So as the door finally swings open, in steps a rather exhausted man with a little box in his hand. "Please tell me that is Pandora's box, Edward?"
"No, Sebastian, it is the flower. Now can someone tell me I am dreaming, for I just saw Stefan and Elloise leave with Anastasia?"
"My friend, it is a long story. But I do not know if the flower shall be useful anymore."
Then I hear Morgana speak again, "Well, don't think that so fast. What if we allow the child to be born?"
"And kill Anastasia?"
"Wait," Connor says. "She is right. Let the child be born."
"But how do we get the flower to Anastasia?" I stop for one second, then add, "And the blood?"
"Leave the flower to me. I need to return home to prepare it." Morgana says.
Then I ask, "And then the little thing about the child, well Lucius?"
"That you can leave to us," Connor says. "We will track them so long."
"Well, then I shall need to go find some blood then."Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
I watch as the boys look at me in horror; I know exactly what they are thinking.
"Don't worry your little heads like that. I am merely paying the blood bank a visit. Now, Edward, it does look like you can feed. I shall meet everyone back here in an hour."
