Your majesty pls you have to push now, the baby is tired so are you, you have to endure it and keep your eyes open or you might lose your life" .
The room was noisily quiet. It was thick with the smell of blood, sweat, pain , and survival, as the midwife moved from one position to the other trying to conceive the royal child. For a reason best known to them, she had all the other girls wait outside and locked the door, leaving only her and the queen.
" I can see the head, she said sweating using her hands to widen her vigana to make it easier for the baby to come out
"Ahhhhh" the queen screamed in pain, gripping her bed tightly as she used all her remaining strength to scream, pushing the baby out.
The baby didn't cry out after she was born which made both the queen and midwife surprised all of a sudden. Her skin was pale, and she wasn't breathing at all except for the fact that her eyes were wide open and she was moving.
Ignoring the pain in her legs , she took the baby and checked her and the both of them exchanged glances.
"She's not human," the midwife said surprised, using her hands to cover her mouth. " You and I know his Majesty would kill her once he got a whip of this, what kind of a being is this, my lady what have you done" she cried out.
"She's a vampire" she said with a straight face and the handmaiden gasped.
"Shush" the queen used her hands to Indicate for her to shut up " I cannot allow the king to know about this, no one must know except you and I that she doesn't belong to the king and that is an order " she said glaring hard at the maiden and made her swear that she wouldn't tell anyone ever.
" Now do you know any witch that can help me hide her powers and strength? Nobody must know that the daughter of the only human king is a vampire, their enemy.
And within a few minutes now , his Majesty will barge inside after sensing that he's not hearing my voice again, I need to do something quick " she stood swiftly, her whole body in pain but her mind was much troubled.
"Yes I know someone " the handmaiden said " she lives in the outskirt of the town, now we just have to bring one of the girls in and instruct her to keep screaming like she's in labor with the door locked so his Majesty won't suspect anything till we come back "
"That sounds perfect "
The queen said , using clothes to cover the baby while cradling her in her back. The handmaiden went outside and came back a few minutes later with a lady and a long coat that had a cover so no one would see her going outside. After leaving instructions for the girl, the both of them set out.
They successfully slipped out of the pack by using the secret chambers, and after few minutes of walking hurriedly and cautiously, they arrived at the witches place
" I knew you'd come" said the witch smiling after seeing the both of them " it has already been written, her faith, her future, and I know what brings you here today"
" Since you already know what I came for so you should know what you can do for me right" the queen asked impatiently
" The king must not know that this child isn't his, you know the kind of hate that's between the human and the Vampires, I was already pregnant before his Majesty came to marry me but I didn't have a choice if I wanted to save my life, my daughter's and if I didn't want to embarrass my father.
Moreover,I thought it was impossible to give birth to a non human child but I guess I was mistaken"
" Everything you seek for here comes with a price, the princess must not only lock her powers and urges, you and I both know the growth of a human is different from that of a vampire.
I am going to lock her vampires part away but I can only do that for at least till she's 30 yrs, for people would have been suspicious of her then if she's not aging.
" It's not going to change who she is," she added ,but it's going to make her blend with the other humans not for life but for the mean time, I believe by the time she finds out she's not human, the creator would help her through it" she witch said with a straight face.
" Also before I help you with what you want,you have to sacrifice something to me and once you are able to sacrifice that…
No one , not even a vampire hunter would be able to detect what she is, unless she gets really really close.
" So what is that, what do I have to sacrifice for you to help me" the queen asked, staring at the witch keenly.
"Your life".
