Strange Child (2)

Lady Norma stared at her friend with wide eyes, " w-what!" She managed to say and Esther didn't say anything. Forneus turned to look at Esther, " you look like you know something about your son's heritage, please share with us lady....." He waited for her to complete his sentence, " am Esther!" She said and lady Norma had a smile on her face. She wanted Esther to feel free to talk to her about what actually happened to them and from the looks of things she was or will talk to them. "The father of my child is a vampire demon" Esther said and lady Norma's jaws dropped, "w-w-what? A vampire who's a demon?" Lady Norma couldn't believe her ears, this was not possible in her case. Esther took in a deep breath and she asked the demon why he asked of her child's heritage, she believed strongly that her child was not what people said, a dark child!

It was then lady Norma realized Esther's hair colour had changed, she came that night with a black hair with red at the ends of it but now she had white hair with traces of black that proved that she was the same woman they helped. She still had the braids she had forced to do for her when they brought her into her house,lady Norma sighed the people she was dealing with were not normal people. Forneus grinned at her and she had to glare at him, he was always like that, they were damn serious at the moment but he chooses to be a pervert to her with the way his eyes shined with mischief. " That explains why he has a stronger aura, for now we will have to keep him away from the eyes and see what happens.....I will be around for a while so if anything just let me know" Forneus said while he looked at lady Norma and she nodded, she gave Esther the child and left to see Forneus out. " You have a serious higher level demon of a child in your house, Norma....how do you know them anyway, the child has a huge amount of mana I have never seen before. It's good that they are in good hands here, greedy creatures would want to keep him at all cost" he said and lady Norma raised a brow at him, he chose to ignore her actions and waved his hand at her "go back inside, lady Norma! You have a guest to take care of, am no guest who needs directions! unless you want me to stay over and be your guest only?" He asked her with a shameless smile on his handsome face only to receive a glare from the woman. She turned around to enter back into the house, Esther was seated whispering something to her child and occasionally kissing him on the cheek. How lovely! If it were to be a different mother after hearing these she might want to throw the child away but she didn't look like, she was going to. She went to bring them a heavy blanket and covered them with it and Esther whispered thanks to her, she had her breast in the baby's mouth feeding him and he kept staring at his beautiful mother.

" Am going nuts right now!!" Hera's voice vibrated in the room, she was so angry, all her plans to kill the balancer had failed. Even that witch in the palace had failed and she was going to kill her for joking around with her, " lady Hera.... there are still no traces of the prince of hell" said her young and want to taste informant and she turned hashly and grabbed his neck, her long nails clawing him to draw blood. He struggled to be free but he only looked like a rat in the grasp of the cat, his face turned red in no time and he was going to die at least that's what he thought until a loud roar was heard from the entrance of the room they were in. " Let him go!!" Liya roared again before Hera let go of the poor demon, he went far away from them as he could. Those two sisters were crazy about him and he wondered why the lore gave him to them as a servant, he just wanted a normal but could he? " You should think of something, than to kill our servant, Hera!" Liya spoke and she glanced at the male in the room, he looked so cute when he was scared. Hera had her hands on her waist and she raised a brow at her sister, " what! Are you worried what I do to him, are you fucking him, Liya?" She asked as she bared her carnies at her sister and Liya did same. "My ladies, we have to think of how to find the Orobas ( The prince of hell )!!!" He shouted to get their attention and they glared at him, " ohh, what do you think we can do right now?" Liya asked him with a smile on her face with all anger vanished from her face, Ubel stared at her from top to toe, her claws were still showing and it only meant trouble. In his case Liya was very sweet but very cunning at the same time and what was strange was she kind of listened more than Hera, she chuckled when she realized Ubel had seen through her schemes. He didn't say anything than to stare at them which Hera found annoying, she wanted him in her bed and he wasn't given her any chance.

"What will you name him?" Lady Norma asked when she entered back in the house, Esther didn't say anything for a while before she looked up at the old lady, " my son is strong and bright, strange? Well....I know he's got goodness in him, enough light to over shadow the darkness. Helel! That's his name" she said with a smile and returned to looking at his face, she asked if he was happy to have a name like that and he blinked at her, he smiled along with his mother. The next day was not too clear like it's supposed to be, people were able to come out and start their business and trades since the skies were now okay. This was strange to them all, no sun for days and all of a sudden it started to disappear like a season that came and was going. Like that it got better and days passed, turning to weeks then months, Esther stood by the window as usual with her child held in her right arm with her waist and hip to support him from falling. Her hair gathered into a single braid with curls left on her face, and she had a pleasant smile. The skies were beautiful and she kept humming a song for her little boy, he was a year old now. Esther kissed his forehead and he placed his head on her shoulder looking behind his mother, he raised his head and smiled, turning into a laugh when lady Norma came closer. She was playing with him before she came to poke his cheek and extended her hands and he opened his arms for her take him, Esther turned to give him to her. " Will he be able to play around with other children, I hate to always be teaching him inside the house...he has to learn to live in the environment he finds himself in" Esther said with a frown but the old lady said nothing and kept playing with the child, " we have to study him some more, we don't want people asking questions about him now, do we?" She said and she pulled a strand away from his face and his handsome face came into view. His abnormally dark hair was combed to cover his forehead and his light red eyes made him look even more cute, his small pale red lips was now spreaded in a smile, showing his white smaller teeth.

He wrongly sung the song his mother was humming for him, while he played with his toy horses and dragon and occasionally looking at his mother who smile at him while talking to lady Norma. With that, Helel stayed home for seven years locked away from the people or other children because they were afraid of what might be of his power and what might trigger it. It was raining when Esther had Helel's head on her chest, he had an uncontrollable fever, he was so used to coldness and never fell sick but now, the vampire healer said he was going to be okay after some time or even days. He was growing fangs just like growing tooth, he didn't talk much nor ate anything and didn't want to go out anymore. He had to control his new urge, " mother! Will I kill all my friends? I can't stand some of them anymore" he complained and his mother shut him with a kiss on his forehead. " Shusssh.... you are not going to kill anyone, that urge can be controlled. Remember that always, not all vampires are bad, it not too bad!" She said and he raised his head to look at her, his red eyes were getting darker than before and his skin had become paler. Esther had been her son's teacher all along, she wanted him to be positive at all times and he was for sometime, her nature affected him in every way possible. He brought his head down and grabbed Esther close to him, his gums were hurting him and he could scream if, not because he didn't want his mother to more worried than she was. " It's okay to feel pain, its okay to react also..... let me see your beautiful face? She said and he didn't move to show his face. He hid his face in her dress, his appearance had changed when his mother's scent mixed with her blood filled his nostrils. He didn't want to face her at all, they were trying to help him control his bloodlust by introducing him to a new way of feeding himself, without killing anyone or anything. Animal blood was what he was introduced to, he clawed the bed as the pain intensified making him pull his face away from her just to stabilize his senses, he could drink his mother dry. He stood up and went to stand in the dark, Esther was ready to go to him but he growled at her, she understood that language very well and so she raised her hands up telling him she meant no harm. He came back to himself, and his eyes widened he looked at his mother and she still smiled at him, as if nothing happened, he could have hurt her and he hated himself for not having control over this side of him. This had to happen till he was fully grown and he won't be able to do this without his mother, she pulled him into her embrace and her expression was one of shock and not of scare or hate. Her son looked strange and powerful and lady Norma entered with a glass of animal blood, Helel quickly took it from her and finished it in a goal and the two ladies took glances at each other without saying anything. He grunted, he wanted more and if possible human blood.....

A carriage made it's way through the thick forest and when they reached the heart of the woods, the tyres came out of it's hold, with the carriage being broken, the journey was delayed. " This is no normal carriage, it looks rich" a voice came a bit loud and received a glare from their leader, " shut the fuck up!" He said calm yet had sent all the daggers at the one who spoke before. A beautiful lady came out of the carriage and with her looks, she was irritated. " Get the damn thing working already!" She yelled at her carriage men, this was seen by the owners of the jungle, while some looked at her with hate the other looked at her with amusement in his eyes. She fanned herself with a furthered fun, she wear shinny clothes with jewels adorning her ears, neck and wrist and her hair made nicely, the only thing that made a deduction was the anger formed on her face. A whistle was heard and guessing that a signal, a teenage boy swang down from a brunch like a monkey. Dressed in worn out clothes and his hair left not combed and he was bare footed, " looks like somebody is going to walk home....." Said the boy not looking at the travellers and he did his own thing. The guards came to protect her, " you should bow to your queen, boy!" The guard yelled at the boy and the boy raised his head, his red eyes taking in their appearance again before he stood straight to greet them mockingly and a blast of laughter was heard from all angles of the forest. Helena had had it already and was willing deal with this mutts when she returned for sure, " your highness, he's not alone.....we have lots of them with us!" One guard said before he stood his stand. " Kill them all if they dare touch me and my child" she said and touched her belly protectively

"Really, you can kill all of us? What a wicked queen!" A voice was heard above them and the teenager in front of them looked up and then down at them and shook his head. " Someone didn't like what you said now!" He said and easily climbed the nearest tree to sit, looking at them with disgust in his eyes. Those royals were happy in their castle without thinking of their wellbeing, today was today! The other guards were on the carriage fixing it as fast as they could.....oh, come on. Are they that dam! " Do you realize who you are playing around with?" Said another guard and received a more irritated reply, " so what? We're not talking to you!" He growled at them. The sound of it was strong that told them, these were not just thieves, one after the other they got down with a deep frown on their faces, " what! Ha....you are just some group of teenage bandits?" Queen Helena spoke with amusement the boys even frowned more baring their fangs at her and she staggered backwards with wide eyes.

"Hold on boys! We're are not here to kill remember?" A familiar voice was heard again yet he was not part of the group standing, he jumped down behind them with a loud thud and Helena with the guards all turned around looking at the boy standing behind them. His dark hair covered his face and he looked at the ones fixing the carriage, " stop that, you can't fix it!" He said annoyed with what they were doing. " Don't come near me!!!" Helena yelled at him and the boy turned to look at her, a big smile spreading his face,

"Or else what?"
