Immortal Mother -
The nights were
beginning to get a little cooler but that didn't matter to Amelia
even when winter came she would go out at night in just a light sheer
night dress. As Amelia slept during the day her servants would take
care of the home since most times she would bring her victims home
and the aftermath would have to be cleaned up. Her servants were very
loyal some had been with the Drake family for generations so Amelia
knew she could trust them. The home she kept was a good size not as
big as her brothers but she hated wasted space since she spent most
of her time in the quarters under the home. If she was to up during
the day which was very often her the blinds would be locked shut
mechanically something her older brother Isaac had designed to help
when a vampire had restless days something Amelia knew to well of
some days she just lounged around her home reading , watching TV,
basically what humans did.
On this one
particular day the servants had gone out to mind the garden in the
back she kept a beautiful rose garden that had light stringed along
the sides so at night it gave her humans a more at home feel about
it. Amelia at times did clean herself specially her own private
chamber no one was ever really allowed in there not even her brothers
when they visited as she was rearranging her room for what seemed the
millionth time she heard on of the girls yell out for her “Miss
Drake ...Miss Drake there is a baby out here” Amelia headed down
the stairs quickly “Bring it in the house” she replied loudly.
The women carried in a basket with a white embroider blanket laying
deep in it was a little pale baby “where did you find it” she
asked reaching down to pick it up wrapping the infant in her arms
“its a baby girl Miss Drake and we were out just swiping up when we
heard some crying” Amelia rocked the infant in her arms gazing into
its eyes right then she baby gave what seemed to be a smile “go now
to the store and buy everything one needs for a baby formula,
bottles, diapers, anything baby you but it!” the women took off
leaving Amelia with such a precious gift
A decision had to be
made would she keep the child or not as she walked around the empty
house the pros and cons went through her head if she kept her she
knew the child would have a good life being loved and giving the
essential things in life she would always be around not growing old
to leave her alone either... but on the other hand there will come a
time that she would need to explain why she never got old and why she
would never go out in the day. All this weighed on her mind but just
looking down and seeing now a sleeping baby in her arms Amelia knew
the answer. “I will name you Anastasia” she leaned down giving a
soft kiss on her forehead ..Amelia was now a mother .
