Chapter 4 - A VOW

With a few leaps Damian appeared on a hill top looking down at a village, with another leap he appeared right in the middle of the village, closing his eyes he felt everyone's emotions looking for the one with the cleanest heart.

He opened his eyes that had turned gold looking towards a certain direction, he leaped once and appeared before a brown wooden door, raising his hand he knocked on the door, and waited for a while, seeing there wasn't any response he knocked again but this time he heard movement coming from inside the house.

He placed the baby in his arms in front of the door and leaped away.

"Who is it?" a questioning voice was heard coming from inside the house, seeing no response she walked towards the door and opened it.

An elderly woman with grey could be seen coming out from the house, she was a long floral gown with an apron around her neck, she had wrinkles all her face due to old age.

The cries of a baby filled the air. In shock the woman looked down and was surprised to see a baby of barely one month, with silver hair was inside a wooden crib.

Astonished she bent down and picked up the baby, moving her gentle up and down in a bid to stop her from crying, after a while of trying to calm the baby down it finally worked cause the little girl stopped crying and looked up at the strange face with her big black eyes that glittered with tears.

The woman looked around wondering who has the baby but found no one, she tried recollecting if anyone had given birth recently in her neighborhood but couldn't get anyone.

Looking down at the baby she contemplated if she should take the baby in or not when a something shiny caught her eyes coming from the baby's neck.

She fiddled with the baby's blanket, pushing the blanket away from the baby's neck she saw a very beautiful sliver necklace with something inscribed on it, looking closer she realized it was a name "Elisa", she said out loud looking at the baby in her arms.

"I will name you Elisa" she said with a loving smile on her face, looking at the baby's beautiful face she couldn't bear to let go of the baby and decided to take care of the baby like it was her own.

Turning around she entered her house with the baby in her arms, placing the baby on her couch, she went into her room and brought out a very big box.

Opening it, many baby things could be seen inside and at the other side a picture of a young girl was there.

Stretching out her hand she picked up the picture taking it to her chest she hugged the picture for a while before taking it back, she could remember vividly how she love her precious Emily to rogue Vampires.

Looking down at Elisa, she clenched the picture in her hand, ' I will protect you dear, although I couldn't protect my own daughter I will make to protect you with my life' she vowed to herself on this day before placing the picture back into the box.
