Take a moment to enjoy the calm. Let the world around fall away and be present in this moment alone. There is nothing to fear, no pressing concerns or places to be. Let go and share experiences of life before death. To know that here, there will be no judgment. To know that here, there is love, comfort, and support.
Oliver made his assessment, putting together his notes on his patient’s condition. He admired her commitment to their sessions, although some looks she gave him made his skin crawl. He grew accustomed to this feeling when around vampires. The difference with Charlotte was the dreams. The ministry warned him some vampires possessed significant powers. Oliver failed to make eye contact with Charlotte, afraid she could read his mind. He wanted her to whisper her deepest desires in his ear. The thought alone sent goosebumps across his skin as he shivered.
Motherhood was something the future may have held for Charlotte. She was seventeen when Caleb swept her off her feet. His vintage emo style, the brown hair sweeping over his right eye and spiked on top. Caleb embodied the escape, a wild ride away from the sparsity of her family. At this point in her life, Charlotte struggled to deal with Eliza’s departure. An experience coupled with the loss of her father formed the basis of her depression. Patrick had little time for his baby sister as he pursued romance. As for her mother, Charlotte had felt distant from her since Eliza ran away. A determined Emilie normalized the disappearance whilst also desperate for Eliza’s return. Their relationship became awkward. Charlotte hated how the world went on without her sister.
Caleb gave her his full attention. She wanted his arms wrapped around her and those lips pressed to hers. What came with this intimacy scared her. It grew inside, worming its way through her body, and Charlotte wanted it out long before she told anyone. She had seen pregnant women with large protruding stomachs. At first, she wondered how to keep her secret. For Charlotte, her bump was small, unintrusive, and easy to conceal. The babies pushed upwards as though trying to touch her heart. Oliver remarked on her choice of words, the tight fists she made into the sofa as Charlotte bit back tears.
The abandonment issue which filled her teenage years came to a head with the pregnancy. Vampire rules meant she could not be with the love she had chosen. Caleb had to walk away from the humanity of his offspring. He made a painful choice to leave another lover to raise their daughters alone. These children should be a gift, a future filled with love. Caleb abandoned his family. He abandoned Charlotte. Oliver could see the thoughts racing through her mind. Charlotte could not let go of Caleb. She already resented the children growing within her. It ran deeper, an unchecked depression linked to her pregnancy.
Charlotte remembered laying in bed, her babies screaming for attention. She remained frozen, believing she would never love them. Charlotte leaned back in the chair, looking around the study. When Caleb sank his teeth into Charlotte, those feelings disappeared. She was reborn and more alive than she had ever been.
