...And Then There Was One (vampyre poem #20)

she screamed as the last contraction
took control of her body.
after a prolonged silence,
the doctor told her that the baby,
a beautiful little boy with auburn ringlets,
had not survived.
suddenly, a fog descended over her heart
and reminded her what is was she had first come
to the vampyre for.
now, she not only had to repay him for
murdering her sister and stealing her heart,
but for taking her little boy as well.
