Still, he approaches his new master with his results.

He kneels, kissing the hand extended to him.

“Speak slave, what ails my wife!”

“I have good news and bad news, master.”

“Well, speak on!”

“The good news is the mistress is pregnant. She is carrying your child but that is also part of the bad news. Pregnancy has placed a great strain on a body already stretched to the limit. It isn’t easy for a normal human to live in the atmosphere of the master’s castle. Her body is also still fighting the effects of your ‘kiss’ master. She can’t help this… carrying masters child has upset the balance…”

“So cure her. You ARE a doctor are you not?”

The fledgling vampire dared to shake his head. “I cannot master. The only thing that will help is removing one of the things straining her body… and since neither master’s child nor the effects of his ‘kiss’ can be removed…”

The Count understood perfectly and had no intention of losing his wife or child to be. “Very well, the village then…”

His fledge dared shake his head again. “We can try master, but I don’t know if it will be enough. It is your presence that set’s the child off. The closer the mistress is to you, my master, the higher the risk to her and the child. I don’t know why master triggers such a harsh reaction in his child but he does. I can run further tests…”

Doc Reiche cringed at his master’s wrath. His master was furious and someone might not survive it. As his fledgling bowed his head, awaiting whatever display of wrath his master chose to visit on him, the Count took the equivalent of a deep breath and spoke once more, his voice deadly and level. He wasn’t DONE with this woman yet. She would NOT escape him so easily!

“What will it take to keep her alive!”

“Master, let me take her out of the area. She will recover more quickly and there is a stronger chance of the child being born alive… but we must move her now! Before she weakens further. If we could first move her to the village and with your permission master, I’d like to contact her family. I knew them and the mistress of old. I was a family friend while they were growing up and what her grandmother lacks in power she makes up for in skill. All her family are psi talented. They will also see that master has marked both of us and be sensible about things… after all, mistress is loyal to her husband and wishes him no harm… she would be very angry with her family if they didn't abide by her wishes. To her mind, no matter how she came to that state, married is still married and must be honoured. Despite the fact that the further she is from master the better at the moment, her family will see for themselves that we can go no further than master will allow us and master can thought summon us at any time. We both know we can’t escape you, master and for mistress sake I would not even if I could.”

“Very well. Do as you have suggested… but I will expect daily updates and I will be watching. Lyla will accompany you and I will meet this…grandmother of my wife as soon as she arrives… you will bring her to me.”

“Master,” Doc Reiche bowed lower still and backed out of the room.
