Chapter 270 - Protection Shield
Roselyn peeked through the door's threshold and when she saw only Abigail was there, she commented:
"there's only Abigail. If she found out I will ask her to keep it secret and don't tell it to anyone, not even Victor.
"
John scoffed, as he shook his head perplexed, he wasn't sure if Abigail was dangerous and his main concern was that smelling her she would remember how human blood tested and she would eventually attack Roselyn.
"I'm not sure, Rose...
" John replied doubtfully.
"Trust me. She is my sister, she will keep my secret as I kept hers.
" Roselyn smiled as she stated convinced, John wished he would be that convinced and trusty in Abigail like Rose was but he knew too many vampires and he saw her not able to control her powers too many times to say he had great hopes and trust in a just turned vampire.
"I will go,
" Roselyn announced ignoring that John gave her a glace of disapproval and discontent.
John took a deep breath and followed Roselyn who already was walking toward the door.
"Abigail!
" She exclaimed joyfully, hearing her Abigail pushed the maid to the side to run toward Roselyn and hug her carefully not to hurt the baby she was holding.
Abigail's eyes narrowed as soon as she touched Roselyn like if she could smell something weird about her, she remained quiet for some instant having John held his breath in preoccupation.
"You look happy!
" Abigail exclaimed and John unconsciously took a breath of relief, she didn't discover Roselyn was pregnant. At least not yet.
Roselyn covered her mouth in awe, the baby was so grown and big yet so beautiful. It had Abigail's eyes and the same few freckles Abigail had on her nose and her cheeks.
"He is so beautiful!
" Roselyn commented as her eyes filled with tears and she was trying not to fall into tears of happiness in front of her sister.
The maid meantime was standing close to Roselyn, just like John she didn't trust Abigail and was keeping an eye on her so that she would intervene in case Roselyn was attacked.
"Yes. It was a complicated and painful birth but I couldn't be happier to have him.
" Abigail commented as she caressed the baby with a toothy smile,
"since the first hours he seems he will be a very agitated kid.
" she whispered to Rose who giggled hearing her sister's statement.
Abigail then leaned the baby closer to Roselyn as she whispered,
"you can hold him.
"
Roselyn widened her eyes slightly preoccupied to harm the baby but then she smiled and nodded, she took a deep breath and stretched her arms. Roselyn held the baby by his hips as she lifted him and pushed him closer to her chest to lull him.
As soon as the baby looked at Roselyn she began to have a vision, she saw a reflection of the child, he was growing up, she saw the same vision she had already seen weeks before when she touched Abigail's belly.
Roselyn swallowed down, her vision darkened and she was teleported in the middle of the Kratez, a fire was set and the entire wood was burning in fire.
As her gaze traveled through the wood her vision got clearer and she could see the snakes and poisoned animals' dead bodies half burned.
A light appeared from a house, she had never seen that house before but the light was so strong Roselyn was attracted from it like calamite. She walked toward it, at each step her heart skipped a beat and the lump in her throat got bigger impeding her to swallow properly.
The door creaked as it opened slowly, but before Roselyn could see what was inside she came back to reality.
Abigail's son was playing with Roselyn's necklace, and he seemed amused to see how the gold pendant shined.
Roselyn shook her head to recover from her vision, she perceived a huge red aura the baby was emanating, Roselyn could feel the baby was so powerful.
"Nice to meet you,
" Roselyn said caressing the baby's cheek, she leaned her head closer to the baby's ear as she whispered,
"something tells me you're going to grow faster and stronger than we expect.
"
The baby babbled as he opened his mouth and then smiled, Roselyn smiled once again before she gazed at John. They both remained quiet as she looked at each other yet somehow they understood each other without the need to link mentally.
"You're good with children,
" Abigail commented, her statement made silence fell in the room. That result drove Abigail, she wanted to make Roselyn a compliment but nobody was answering her.
Abigail cursed herself mentally, she concluded maybe they didn't want a child, if that was the case she didn't put her at ease by saying such a thing.
"Thank you.
" Finally, Roselyn replied, forcing a smile and leaning the baby back to Abigail who took him. Just like if the baby recognized his mother he rested his head over Abigail's chest in a shy hug and then quickly fell asleep.
"We called him Daniel,
" Abigail said in a lower voice not to wake up the baby.
"Daniel is such a perfect name!
" Roselyn commented and Abigail nodded happily to hear her sister liked that name.
"I will go back to Kratez now before Victor gets worried.
" Abigail then said, she cheered both Roselyn and John before she closed the door behind her and speeded back to her house.
As soon she left, John felt relieved, Abigail contrary to his expectations wasn't even attracted by Roselyn's blood which was so weird that John was in disbelief.
"How come she didn't feel she was pregnant?
" The maid asked from her tone of voice John could say he wasn't the only one perplexed.
John shrugged as he narrowed his eyes and reorganized his idea,
"I don't know.
"
Abigail didn't show Roselyn but she could feel a weird feeling when Roselyn got closer to her as if she was immersed in a huge shield of energy that protected her as if she got stronger all of a sudden. Abigail couldn't recognize what that mean but she knew for sure something was happening and they all were keeping something from her, that would also explain the reason why the maid at first didn't want Abigail to see her.. However, Abigail didn't want to ask Roselyn because she knew, if she asked they would discover she felt something different about her sister and would eventually keep her away only to prevent Roselyn from any danger.
