Chapter 38 Scent of Death (1/2)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three Months Later...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jess' sits down on Adams favorite spot under the shade of the oak tree. On her right side is her rose garden and on the left side is the sparkling lake, on a bit far distance, is the woods. The mansion's back is looming at her, she feels like it's about to fall on her. She's feeling dispirited nowadays.
Three months have already passed...too quickly for her own liking.
She and Adam already incorporated, alternately all the best 25 best sex positions to get pregnant in their lovemaking for the past three months and still nothing happens. She still can't conceive. They were both young, the chances should be high. But why she can't still catch his sperm? Why oh why?
She caresses her tummy. ”Baby are you there?” she asks silly. It brought a little smile on her mouth though...
A baby born out from her tummy will be a product of her's and Adams pure love. She will love and take care of that baby real good because it will be an important part that will link her to Adam beyond the grave.
A moment later...her face starts to look forlorn again.
She saw Adam came out from the kitchen door, he waved at her, she waved back.
”Why you look so sad?” asked Adam, as he sits down beside her.
She inhaled a mouthful of air while looking at him adoringly.
”Three months already passed, we have not made a baby yet,” says Jessy.
Adam traced the outline of her cheek. ”We will have a baby soon. Let's stay hopeful, okay?”
She smiled a bit.
”Why don't we perform again tonight the number 18th best sex position which is the Bazooka Position-? ” he suggested while smirking. ”As I recall you enjoyed that position very much,” he whispers into her ear with a naughty smile. He just wants to tease her.
Jessy blushed tenfold. She pinched his arms hard.
”Come on, let's get inside. I will give you a massage fit for the Queen,” he said, trying to cheer her up, pulling her along with him.
She refused to stand up. ”Adam, it's still too early for some hanky-panky,” she resisted his pull.
”Lol, who says we will do it right now? I said later tonight,” he grinned, clearly amused. ”But anyways, you also need to give more time to your mental training, Jess. Our time is running out. Let's go upstairs and you continue enhancing your mental strength and your mental capabilities because what you think most will be projected naturally when you already have your vampire powers. To make it short, your power depends on your brain capabilities. You must let your power knows you are its master. You have to control it, owned it!”
Jessy stared at his face. ”You're making sense...So what exactly the dangers I'm going to face when am already transported in the facility?” she asked in a curious manner.
”It's not gonna be an easy responsibility, dangers may arise once you already turn into a full pledge vampire. My father's enemy are still out there, probably planning to take you away for their own purposes. They want to rule the world and make human beings their food consumption exclusively. For them, humans are not to be respected but to be slaughtered. And there's also, the human vigilante's group they may want to prevent you from saving the rest of the vampires because they totally want to wipe all vampires on the face of the earth. Bad things may happen or maybe not...I just wish am still alive during that time so that I can guide and protect you every step of the way. Or, rather, I wish my brother can protect you well,” he sighed, running his hands through his unruly wavy shoulder- length hair.
She pulled him back down to sit beside her, he obliged her.
”I want to know more about the power of shield that you had. What can it do to you? What kind of shield I can think of and command to protect me or the people around me?” she asked, she's getting interested in the power of shield.
”Well, basically, you can pretty much think of anything, like shielding your body with fire, water, smoke, sand, thick fog, or anything you can imagine. It can be an illusion thing, not real to you but to the people who watch you, what they see seems real. You can also shield your body for real with all those kinds of stuff I mentioned above, though, it does require much concentration and total mind strength. For a newbie, it can drain your energy and left you weak and you may faint in the process but as you keep harnessing your power, the time shall come you can command your power so effortlessly~ just like breathing...”
”Cool...! So, what will be the limit of my power?”
Adam looked at her. ”That is one question I can't answer yet, Jess. The fact that I have no idea how powerful you can be during your transformation. That is why your mental training will prepare you somewhat for what will happen next. You have to discover your own power on your own, do not be afraid to experiment with it. The rest depends on you.”
”So, what will be my biggest enemies in the future? I need to be aware of them beforehand,” ask Jessy.
”Your major enemies will be the Savage Vampires, the Vigilantes group and probably some enemy lurking in the background and will only appear at the right time. So you have to be cautious of them all...”
It's now Jess' turn to sigh. ”From what you have been telling me right now, the road ahead will be chaotic for me, isn't it?” she asked for confirmation.
”That will be 100% sure, Jess. Great power comes with great responsibility.” He doesn't want to lie.
She just realized now, that having a baby will change all that. ”If I got pregnant and you already passed away, would you hate me if I delay my responsibility to your clan and deliver our baby first?”
”W-what you mean, Jess?”
”Our baby is more important more than anything else,” she made it clear to him, the baby's well being comes first. If she gets pregnant with Adams child, she will deliver the baby within nine months, then leave her baby to Nana Aida to take care on her behalf and she will honor the prophecy from then onward. After she's done honoring the prophecy, she will live a quiet life with her baby in the mansion. That is her plan.
”B-but...”
”There is no but. I will take control of my life from the moment you are gone.” She showed him her serious face to let him know she meant what she says.
He enfolded her in his arms. ”Of course, our baby's safety comes first,” he finally agreed. 'If there's a baby that is...' he told himself. He knows that having their baby will complicate things in the future. But part of him also wants to father her child, who else doesn't? Those clashes of thoughts and conflicts sometimes make his head dizzy. He wants to live longer for her, makes him wants to defy destiny! Only if he can prevent the prophecy to come true, he will. But he knew, one's life must be given up for one's life to continue. That is what Jess and his purpose in life.

Another three months passed by quickly...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jessy glanced at the calendar hanging on her bedroom wall in dismay...
Her tummy has no baby yet... she is getting frustrated as days goes by.
Sometimes she would cry in silence when Adam is not around.
She's slowly accepting the hard reality that she and Adam may not be able to conceive their own baby in this lifetime.
