Free The Newborn Vampire by Evenly Evans

relented and after kissing Catherine left the trailer to go on the hunt for a hapless victim.
     
      Mathias claimed Tobias’ now vacant seat and comfortably placed himself next to his granddaughter and looked at her with great admiration.
     
      Catherine reciprocated by looking at her grandfather still in complete awe of him.
     
    She could not believe that such a short time ago she knew nothing of who she was and now here she was, a killer, in love with a killer and growing a potential killer inside her. Yet she was the happiest that she had ever been in her whole entire existence.
     
      “How are you feeling my love?” asked Mathias.
     
      “I am happy. Very happy. The shock has passed and I feel more comfortable and I have yourself and Tobias. I miss grandmother for obvious reasons. I wish she could have come with us,” Catherine replied honestly.
     
      “I know my dear, but it is not safe for her. She is so different from the rest of us and does not have the strengths and abilities we do. It would not be fair on her. Plus it could be very dangerous. It is safer for her to stay where she is. She knows you are in good hands and adapting well. When things have settled down a bit I am sure we can get in touch with her.” explained Mathias.
     
      Catherine felt a little better and appreciated that it was for the best but she could still not but help miss her grandmother.
     
      As Catherine stretched backwards and protectively put her hands upon her stomach the door to the trailer flew open and in stormed no other than Mary. Startled,
     
    Catherine shot out of her seat followed by Mathias, who did exactly the same.
     
      “Mary!” shouted Mathias “What on Earth are you doing here? You know it is unsafe.
     
    Plus you could have been followed and led danger to us if you know what I mean,” and struck a worrying glance in Catherine’s direction.
     
      “Mathias, I know that. But danger is why I am here. I had a visit, from Samuel. He wants her Mathias, he wants her. I had to get here to find you and tell you to be on your guard and to keep her safe. I am sure he will find where you are shortly. You must move on and take Catherine with you.”
     
      Mary ran towards Catherine and hugged her close. Catherine reciprocated and held her grandmother close in her arms. She could not believe the lengths her grandmother had gone to in order to find her and save her. This woman had done so much for her during her life already to help protect her and this only added to the long list of things she had done. Catherine would be eternally grateful to this woman who was dedicating her life in order to protect her own existence.  After a while the two woman pulled apart from each other and Mathias looked at Mary and then nodded at
     
    Catherine.   It was only then Mary noticed the huge bulge of Catherine’s stomach.
     
      “Oh dear God, a child!” gasped Mary “Catherine, this is wonderful for you. But oh … if Samuel finds out he will only want you all the more. Who knows?”
     
     
     
      “No one knows Mary, do not worry. Only our community. We keep ourselves to ourselves,” said Mathias.
     
      “But Mathias, I would not be so sure. Samuel knew that Catherine had changed and come of age. This is why he wants her back. Someone here must have said something. When he turned up at my home he was not asking for her, he was asking where she was. He had been told by someone that she had changed and that she was with the circus. I think maybe he thought he could try and intimidate me into revealing where she was but I said nothing so he left and I presume began taking the trail”. 
     
    Mathias looked worried and glanced at Catherine.
     
    “Catherine, drink this bag of blood. Keep your thirst at bay. I have to go and find
     
    Tobias. Mary stay close to her, I will get a few members of the community to come and guard the trailer whilst I looked for Tobias. We need to check the surrounding area
