Chapter 8

Seven months have gone by and the thin young womans belly has grown quite
large. It seems that all the food she has eaten has done little to help her
health, but the baby that is growing inside her must be quite large. One
evening while sitting on her bed and contemplating where her life has gone, a
torturous pain racks her body. Her belly shifts and she feels that what is
inside of her wishes to come out. As the woman screams in the beginning
stages of labor a few of the men come in to assist in the birth of the child.
It does not take long for the baby to be born as it seems it has a strong
desire to be out of the woman who carried it. The men quickly do what must
be done and wrap the baby in a dark cloth. They hand the child to its mother
who smiles for the first time in a long time as she sees her son, her
strikingly beautiful son. The woman is instructed to feed him and so she
does, but she notices something peculiar as he begins to feed from her
breast. She can feel two small teeth butting up against her skin. The baby
boy feeds on what she is able to give, and when he can get no more bites down
on her skin. The woman cries out and tries to push him away, but the men in
the room hold her down to see what will happen. They smile as it seems
evident that this boy will drink blood as well as human food. As the three
men look up from the scene they smile at one another, some dark plan
formulating in their minds.
