Love Agreement With The King

When they stepped down the carriage they saw Abigail was waiting for them before walking inside. As soon as she saw Roselyn she took a breath of relief and smiled as if he saw a miracle.

She walked hastily toward her and when close she whispered, "I thought you changed your mind."

Abigail sighed as she rested her hand on her chest. She was wearing a different dress than the usual ones she wore after turning, it was probably an old one and Roselyn felt her heart jump out of her chest as that dress remind her of how close they were as a family.

"How do I look?" Abigail quivered, "do I look pale? I put on makeup to try to look less pale than the usual." She whispered.

Roselyn noticed her, she was not used to seeing her sister with a full face of makeup and a braid perfect hairstyle.

"You look beautiful," Roselyn said, she felt pity for her sister putting so much effort in looking decent when her eyes' color would expose her supernatural creature making her efforts in vain.

Abigail took a deep breath just like she was not able to breathe properly but only sigh.

Roselyn stretched her hand and Abigail took it. They shared an understanding and supportive gaze and then they followed John as he headed toward the castle and he knocked on the door.

A maid went to open the door and as the door budged Abigail squeezed Roselyn's hand. Roselyn suffocated the laugh, a vampire as powerful and irresistible as Abigail fearing about a meeting with her mother. Nonetheless, Roselyn felt the same.

Despite she pretended she was uncaring of her mother's judgemental behavior and she faked a cold surface, deep down she was very scared of the possible consequences.

She's got her heart in her throat as she took a step forward. The hall was empty, and it looked even huger than usual.

William smiled to Roselyn, "she's waiting for you upstairs, in the guest room." William whispered, John looked at Roselyn, probably waiting for her to walk toward the stairs when she felt ready.

While they were in the carriage they planned that John would wait for them and would intervene only if the situation would get drastically.

Roselyn glanced at Abigail who nodded to her sister, they walked upstairs and took a deep breath in sync before they opened the door.

Ginevra turned around, when she saw her daughters her eyes had a slight tic and she swallowed down probably seeing her daughters after so many months affected her.

For some minutes silence filled the room and the three women were just staring at each other waiting for someone else to talk.

Ginevra took a step forward them, "hi." She murmured a whisper.

"Hi," Abigail replied while Roselyn hinted at a smile.

Abigail cleared her voice, Roselyn could feel Abigail was slightly shaking as she held her hand.

"We asked you to come because we have to tell you about ..." Abigail started but Ginevra interrupted her to caress her cheek and walk closer to her.

"Abigail where have you been? You disappeared! What happened to your eyes? Are you fine?" She asked loads of questions in a breath making Abigail swallow unable to answer.

It was already enough for her to gather the courage to speak and she was going to tell her mother everything but she had to be patient and give her time.

"I am a fine mom..."Abigail shivered at her mother's touch on her, she could barely smell her usual fragrance as all that Abigail could smell was her human's blood.

"We invited you to come here because we have to tell you two big news." Abigail attempted a second try to tell her mother about Roselyn's pregnancy and her son but this time Ginevra seemed distracted by Roselyn.

"Mother!" Abigail raised her voice, losing her patience for a second before she cleared her voice and recomposed herself.

"Yes, yes… tell me… what is the news?" Ginevra asked.

In that second Abigail froze, her lips got paler she was so nervous about the situation that her shaking intensified.

Roselyn squeezed her hand to send her positive vibes and support. She took a long breath and took the control of the situation.

"Mother, I am pregnant and Abigail just had a baby." Roselyn let the words sip out her tongues and darted her gaze to the side to glance at her sister with the corner of her eyes before resetting her gaze on her mother.

Ginevra dropped her jaw, her eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hand completely speechless as if she didn't expect to receive that news.

She remained quiet, she limited herself to look at her daughters shocked and confused, wondering when that happened. Time passed so fast and she barely knew their's husbands.

At that exact moment she realized how much she had missed, she let her pride and anger for Sharon ruin the love and care she had for her other daughters.

Ginevra's eyes filled with tears but not tears of commotion or happiness, sad tears full of resentment and regret.

"I am sorry." Her brittle voice made Roselyn and Abigail's hearts break into thousands of pieces as they understood she felt sorry.

They rarely saw her crying which proved how miserable she deeply was inside.

"I am sorry, I would have never wanted to abandon you. I don't know what happened to me Roselyn, I wish I could travel back in time to change the situation."

Abigail smiled, "but there is something else we have to tell you, mother..." Abigail replied, she knitted her eyebrows down and took a long breath, "We are supernatural creatures." Abigail said, then she opened her eyes wide as if she wouldn't have imagined she would say it as easily.

Her mother shook her head confused, then she giggled. "I am glad you feel like joking..." Ginevra said, smiling perplexed, and amused at the same time.

Abigail shook her head slightly, "mother we are not joking." She murmured to her mother who gazed at them still confused and trying to decipher whether they were lying or not.

"Lord Victor is a vampire and when I was pregnant I could barely remain alive and bear the pregnancy since the baby was supernatural. I had no other option to survive than if Victor turned me."

Abigail said but her mother was still hesitant and barely believe it.

She thought vampires or supernatural creatures didn't exist.

"I am a vampire, mom," Abigail stated trying to ignore her mother's facial expression growing more shocked and puzzled at the same time.

"And I am a banshee…" Roselyn said.

That word didn't surprise Ginevra much, as soon as Roselyn said what she truly was she darted her gaze to Roselyn and stared at her for a few minutes as if she was very shocked but at the same time not surprised.

"A banshee…" her mother repeated looking thoughtful probably recalling something.

"And your pregnant?" She then asked focusing her gaze on Roselyn.

"Yes I am and King John is a vampire. But we don't know yet if the son will be a supernatural creature or a human." Roselyn then said sighing.

Ginevra placed both her hands on her head and took a deep breath. "Alright then," she only said as she reorganized her thoughts.

"Can you keep our secrets?" Abigail hissed to ask and their mother nodded shyly as she smiled.

"Yes, of course, I can," Ginevra replied.

She then asked her daughters to keep her posted and to meet Daniel, she seemed quite excited while about Roselyn she was still gazing at her quite confused and probably hesitant. It was like she knew something that she had been keeping for a long time.

Abigail and Roselyn said hi to their mother who asked For another visit in which she could meet her grandson Daniel. She waved at them but before she could walk away she asked for a little chat with Roselyn.

Ginevra apologized to Roselyn for how he treated her and the bad things she said back to them.

"I was driven by anger because Sharon had left since then and I felt like it was also my fault if she left." Ginevra took Roselyn's hand and looked at her in a sorry pleading gaze.

"It's fine mother. But I think you deserve to know what happened. Sharon is dead, she was a banshee too but she was so thirsty for revenge and willing to become the queen of Kratez that she tried to kill me and get in the middle of John."

Roselyn said, her mother got paler hearing about Sharon so Roselyn regretted having said it.

She hugged her mother and whispered closer to her ear, "if you want to know everything I will tell you but now just remember I am glad you gave me and Abigail a chance to become a family again."

Her mother smiled she nodded and then she walked away before turning around and saying goodbye to all of them.
