Chapter 5- Could it be?

"No.no."Erin whispered, her voice cracking, she buried her head in Vlad's chest.

"Your child... It's not breathing."

Vlad wrapped his arms around the crying Erin. "What gender was the child?"

Mina looked down."It was a dear little girl."

"Clarissa."Erin whispered, muffled to Mina and Vlad. "Are you sure she's.. She's..."

"Yes. "

Erin whimpered softly. ";Can I see her... Unless you want me to never hold her in my arms.... Not even once..."

She felt her throat tighten. She was *this* close to crying hysterically.

Mina looked down "I wouldn't recommend it..." She didn't know what kind of effect of Erin seeing her dead child would have. She left the couple alone in the room.

Erin walked over to the incubator.

She looked at Clarissa sadly. Her heart broke to see how small she was...

She cracked. Under pressure. Her face went from sad to emotionless expression. It was her fault she lost Clarissa. Vlad watched her cautiously. He didn't know how she would react. She wasn't the predictable girl she was three years ago. She might never be the same after this. She breathed deeply, all the lights in the room popped, glass going everywhere. She fell to the ground, clutching her head. She was struggling against something. When she stood up again. She looked... Different. She had a different posture, and so on. She left the room without saying a word. Things seems to get destroyed around her, she wanted to change lives of two people she hated dearly.

She sped to Robin. "Where's your sister?" She said in a low, dangerous voice, her voice changed too.

"In the attic. Why?" Replied Robin. He thought everyone to be trustworthy.

"Thanks." Erin sped up to the attic.

Chloe Branagh was rummaging through boxes which contained booms of vampire law. She wanted to give Vlad a reason not to marry Erin. She felt a whoosh behind her. She dropped one of the book. She gulped.

Erin smirked. This wasn't her. It was her so-called 'reflection'. She lowered her fangs. She walked towards Chloe who walked backwards, Chloe had fear in her eyes.

Vlad appeared behind Erin, he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Stop this Erin. Please."

"Thank you!"Chloe said smiling.

"I didn't do this for you!" Vlad snarled.

"LET GO OF ME!" Yelled

Erin, trying to get out of his grip.

"No. This isn't you Erin."

"Just let me go!" She snarled showing her fangs. "I JUST LOST MY BABY! AND CAN'T I AT LEAST MAKE SOME AMENDS!!"

"If it's biting the people you hate. No."

Erin slumped in his arms. Sobs escaped her lips.

"What's wrong with the brat?"

"You really haven't heard she was pregnant?"

"Is it your's? In which case I hope she lost it."

Vlad growled, he sped to Chloe and pinned her against the attic wall. "What did you just say?"

Erin's eyes went red."Let.me.at. Her."

Chloe whimpered, she pushed Vlad away from her and ran out of the room, she put stasis spray on and hid in a room. She breathed deeply.

Erin sped downstairs into the room where Clarissa was. She looked at her for one last time, she turned away and sniffled, she tried not to cry again. She turned to the medical cabinet. A plan formed in her mind. It might not be a very good option.

A sudden cry filled the room, she turned to look at Clarissa, but the child still was limp. She looked down, she looked at the doorway. Two toddlers, twins.

One boy. The other girl. The girl had shoulder-length golden blonde hair, and the boy had lighter shade of black hair. He almost look identical to Vlad, as the girl was to Erin. Her eyes widened. It was them. Emma and Alex. She ran to them, and kneeled in front of them. She couldn't believe it. She observed them both careful. Alex's had Vlad's eyes. As Emma had her's. A cry of happiness escaped her lips. She hugged them both. They seem to recognize her as their 'real' mother. The twins hugged her back, with a huge smile on their face.

"Mum." They said in unison.

"Yes. It's me." Sniffled Erin. They were cruelly taken away from her.

Vlad hugged all three of them. He knew this would cheer Erin up greatly after losing Clarissa. "Emma looks so much like you."

"As Alex does of you."

"I can't believe they're here..."

__________________________

Erin felt something strange. "Could it be?"

"What mum??"Whispered the twins, their voice was muffled.

Erin shot up to her feet, and ran to the incubator. She sighed in relief. "Clarissa! She's alive!"

"What do you mean?"

"S-She's breathing!"

"Don't! You're hearing what you want to hear!"

"Can't we at least get Jonno to see if she has a heartbeat?!?"

Jonno casually walked in, with stethoscope in his hands. "Who did you call? The ghos- the heartbeat buster! I'm ain't afraid of no heartbeat!"

The twins stared at him. "Are you serious?"

"Ah. Vlad. They have seemed to take after you with your 'seriousness.' An they take after you, Erin, with their attitude."

"Hey!" Both Vlad and Erin protested.

"Well." Jonno shrugged going to the incubator, and listened for Clarissa's heartbeat. ".... She's alive. Barely though. It's your love that's keeping her alive."

Erin sighed in relief. Emma and Alex stood beside her. They had identical grins on their faces. Mummy was happy. Therefore, they were.

"But..." Jonno hesitated to say the rest. "She's dying."

Erin grabbed a stake and put it to her heart. She was serious. She was willing to do it.
