Her

Dark Dream 6

Two long weeks have dragged by and Thalia was sick and since I was a 'newborn mom' I guess you can say I did not handle it as easy as I thought I would.

She woke up with a bad fever and she had thrown up more than once that morning, so I had to call in and stay.

With Thalia being a full breed werewolf I couldn't take my chances on her changing and taking her to the hospital even if she was just a few months.

Having her in my arms was always a relief. There wasn't an hour that went by when I couldn't just stop to stare at her. Having a child was truly a blessing and a gift that I cherished everyday. She was still so very little and I couldn't wait for all the endless words that she would mumble, her first steps, all the beautiful memories that would come when she was of age to date, to have her first kiss, her graduation day.

"I will give you the life I never had my love." I say cuddling up to her small figure as she snores lightly.

All I could hear was crying so much crying it was hurting my ears. That wasn't the worst part, it was the fact that it was Thalia's crying. I was laid on the floor of the kitchen with smears of blood all over the tile. I knew it wasn't mine because I could just feel throbbing in my head and no blood was seeping out of any part of my body, I lifted my head to find the source and scrambled to my feet where their was a trail of bloody footsteps; a mans. The trail led towards Thalia's room

Fear

Pain

Worry

Those three emotions drove me to rush over to her baby room even if my head was pounding a million times a second. Their was blood stains on the side of her door close to the door knob, I pushed the door open and the strong back of a man I thought I would never see in years held her to his chest with blood dripping down his fingertips.

Cole was looking down at Thalia when a shaky breath came out between my trembling lips he looked up and with a sinister smile plastered on his blood smeared face.

"She's mine Isabella"

My eyes blinked open and my lips were trembling.

The blankets were pulled back to the end of the bed and I had sweat covered all over my forehead I turned over and saw Thalia nestled in some blankets with pillows surrounding her so she wouldn't fall out of the bed.

I leaned over and held her tiny hand in mine while giving her a kiss on her delicate forehead.

"Come on baby girl you gotta eat more than that" I say towards the stubborn little girl cradled in my arms

Thalia looks at me as if I've grown more than one head and starts playing with her small fingers.

I drag out a long sigh knowing that she won't eat for a little while and go back To eating my overly healthy salad.

As soon as I'm about to shove another damn scoop of boring lettuce into my mouth a knock sounds at the door.

The lettuce falls onto Thalia's little pink onesie and I look down startled and start to giggle to myself.

"You don't want that do ya baby girl?" I say smiling at Thalia

I head towards the door with an almost sleeping Thalia in my arms

I open the door and notice Laura's light brown hair

"Hey Laura!" I say while giving her a warm hug

"Hi Bella" she says noticing Thalia in my arms, she gives me one of those half/awkward hugs so she won't squish Thalia.

"How's she doing? it sounded bad over the phone when you called and Conrad said you seemed in a rush?" She said skeptically

"She's better now... Just a really bad bug. She just won't eat as much but I'll try again in a little bit." I say glancing down at Thalia.

I look up and notice Laura looking at me in a concerned way

"Laura are you ok-"

"Sebastian's looking for you Isabella"
