EXCERPT
Life in the Seven Seas didn’t promise a happily ever
after for Angel and me. Sailing in our small boat, I didn’t know what was
worse. The nights or the days.
The days were gloomy. Looms of mist surmounted our boat,
and we could hardly see the horizon. Angel liked to call it the sea’s edge, as
if there was an imaginary waterfall at the end where all ship’s fell off into
oblivion. The apple trader I fell in love with surely had a dark imagination.
The nights in the Seven Seas were the embodiment of
scare. The fear of the unknown. Because we still couldn’t see ahead. The hope
of finding the Tale of Towers and meeting Lady Shallot to help us escape Night
Von Sorrow were diminishing tide by tide. The Seven Seas were a slow death. Day
after day, I began to realize we may have fooled ourselves, thinking we could
really escape and find a place we could call our home.
And there was more.
By day we sometimes saw other ships looming beyond the
mist which draped like curtains before our eyes. The mist blurred our
destinations. And the thing we thought we glimpsed behind may have been
illusions.
“Do you see them, Angel.” I said.
“See what?”
“The ships looming behind the mist. The silhouettes of
sailors. Their red eyes.”
“I see nothing, Carmilla. You’re imaging things. The sea
does that sometimes.”
I turned back to him. He was standing at the farther side
of the boat, trying to catch some fish. He had been like that since I’d sold my
soul to fate. Nothing mattered to him but food.
Angel spend half of the days catching an incredible
amount of fish. To me, the fish saved me from starving. But to Angel, the fish
he caught meant nothing but blood.
I had seen him ripg a large fish with his teeth and
sucking out the its red guts with insatiable hunger. He had to drink fast
before its blood clotted. One after the other. Someday when he couldn’t catch
the fish, he jumped into the water, disappeared for hours and then reappeared
with a big fish between his teeth.
“You breath under water?” I remember asking.
“I guess so,” He didn’t even care that he began acquiring
incredible vampire powers. “I can only do it when I am really hungry.”
We’d sit next to each other. I ate fish. He drank its
insides. The rest of the day he’d sleep, tired of hunting for blood. This wasn’t
the love stories I had imagined when I first met him.
But I wasn’t surprised. I, Carmilla Karnstein, was bound
for sorrow by Captain Hook, Fate of the Seven Seas. And Angel was risking his
full transformation into a vampire like his father.
One night, I realized we we were two survivors unable to
love each other, but couldn’t. Survival took most of our time, and the bond
between us thinned with every passing wave rocking our boat of life in the
Seven Seas.
That night was the first time I thought about having a
child. Angel and I needed something we both cared about to keep our bond from
fraying. And it was a strange thought. Because somehow I knew, deep inside my
soul, that I will not only have one child. But two.
Something told me I will have two girls. Twins.
