[NightShade]

---

Holly slept fretfully at last her eyes closed and it pained Shade less now to look upon her. She paced the room as the girl slept and wrestled with the humanity in her and her own undead nature. Never should she have been able to concieve she should be thankful for that which she already had.

She knelt beside the small bed and pushed a hand thru the soft green hair. Gently she snipped a lock of it tucking it away, the child still asleep deep in her rest. The girl was unhappy, she was convinced Jon was her father and loathed her captors. She was confused and lost and Nightshades heart ached at the thought of saying goodbye to yet another babe.

It was never spoken of, that dark day when she lost their last child,as well as the ability to have more children. Long had Shade and Myrddin let go the pain of it. Yet now it reared its ugly head. She recognized that Holly could not replace that babe, she recognized that she was selfish to keep that which brought trouble to Myrddin's people for the sake of her own tears...

She had vowed to never be a liability to Myrddin, to never be used against him or to endanger him. She would keep her promise.

Shade had never wanted to be a vampire, she had always wanted to live, to have a normal life, to breathe in the sweet air and the choice has been taken from her so young.

Silent bloody tears coarsed down her cheeks as she took one more step away from humanity this day. You are no child of mine...
