Chapter 118

{NOTE: Devine vampires grow way too slower than humans, six years vampire baby looks like a one-year human baby. Although the physical needs are the same, the vampire's mental growth would be that of the six years old} 

The first memory I have of him, though vague, it's still deeply imprinted in my heart. The firm yet warm chest I was leaning against, and the gentle caresses at the back of my head. For the first time in my little six-year-old life, I felt safe.

That man carried me to his house, it was so big that my nick hurt. When we entered the walls, three kids quickly came to surround him, I felt nervous. 

" Dad, whose baby is this? ", one of the kids asked.

The man carrying me answered, I could feel his deep voice vibrating in his chest, " This is your new little brother " 

Another kid exclaimed, " wah! He is so pretty I thought he was a sister! " 

" Does he have a name? Let's call him Dolly because he looks like a doll " 

" That's right! We don't have a sister so he can be our little sister instead of a little brother " 

I couldn't understand their language, thinking that they were making fun of me, my eyes that had just stopped tearing, started to pour again. Hearing my faint whimper, the man softly kissed my tears away while saying with a smile.

[ You do not like it? Then you may stay as Our little one ]

After saying that to me, he told the three kids to go call someone named Mother Lamier. The man took me to a room with a really large bed, the bed could fit five people and won't feel uncomfortable. Walking to a table with a big wooden basin, he took my clothes and put me in it, then poured warm water on me and started washing away the snot and dirt on my face. I was puzzled, why is this handsome cleaning me? don't tell me.....he wants to eat me!

While I was scaring myself, the man poured some water on my hair to wash away the soap on it. It was then that he noticed my scared look. The man was confused for a second, then as if understood my thoughts, he suddenly laughed. 

[ We don't eat Our children. From today henceforth, We are your father, this is Our duty to take care of you ]

Father? I don't want a father, fathers always hit and bite me, I want a mother. I heard mothers are kind, I want a mother, not a father. Just as my eyes started to tear again, a towel fell on my head from nowhere and the man fished me out of the basin.

He warped me in the towel and lifted me up to the level of his eyes. Then again answered my thoughts, trying his best to make his words simple for me to understand. 

[ We are different. We shall not harm you, but keep you in our arms safe, do not be afraid of Us ]

A different father? Could he be.....a Papa! I was happy to finally have a papa, so I smiled at him. The man- no, I mean papa saw my smile and chuckled, he was happy too. After drying me and putting clean clothes, someone knocked on the door. 

" My Lord, you called for me? " 

" Come in, Lamier-A " 

Then a pretty woman came in. That was my first time seeing a woman except for my mother, so I was a bit nervous. 

" He is young, so We will trouble you to breastfeed him "

" No trouble at all, rather it's such an honour "

Seeing papa giving me to that woman, I panicked and grabbed his clothes tightly. 

[ Be good. You need to eat properly or you will get sick ]

Only after Papa mentioned it did I realize that I hadn't eaten ever since my mother disappeared, and I was really hungry so I reluctantly let go. Once I became full, I immediately fell asleep. Maybe because I was too hungry or was it the bed that was too comfortable, but that night, I dreamt a very nice dream. 

When I woke up again, there were a lot of people around my cradle. 

" Little sister woke up! " 

" It's a brother, you idiot " 

" But he is really pretty, I can see him becoming the number one beauty in this world! " 

" I heard daddy call him Ashel, what does it mean? " 

" I don't know, but dad always give cool names, so it must be something great " 

There were four kids, three women and one man. While the kids were talking loudly next to me, the women and the man were talking in a low voice. Although I heard them, I couldn't understand what they were saying. 

" I heard Lord put him under Lamier's name, I am about to die from jealousy "

" Not just you, I am here about to drop dead. Having a Devine blood vampire as your son is already enough fortune for three lifetimes, and yet it had to be Lord's adopted child, tsk tsk, heavens must have taken a liking to her "

" I don't understand why are you women like this, fighting over titles and little babies, wouldn't it be better to have the Lord's biological child instead? "

" says the man that has the eldest son under his name. But, hey, I am really curious how did you breastfeed him? Did something really come out from that flat chest? "

" don't remind me, damnit! "

The laughters and chatting noises came from everywhere, but I couldn't see papa. I miss him.

Just as I had these thought, papa's deep voice came from above my head.

[ Why is Our little one looking he will slap every single one in this room? Did they bother your sleep? ]

Papa!

I was excited to see him again, so the moment he picked me up, I clung to his face. I like my papa, he gaves me kisses and doesn't bite me.

I really like him.
