Attarah wondered through the baking heat of the Brazilian villa toward the kitchens. It felt bizarre and empty as she walked. Upon reaching her desired location she found chefs and servants bustling away yet they all stopped as she entered and looked at her.

"Hello" she smiled and they all nodded, they stood as if they were waiting for something yet Attarah did not know what. Everyone who was left behind was acting oddly toward her, as though they all knew something which she did not. Luckily Miranda rushed to the rescue like always.

"Get back to work everyone." she stated and they turned away. Attarah smiled and hugged her handmaiden.

"Who is all the food for? Surely I cannot eat that alone."the future queen giggled and Miranda smiled softly.

" Forgive me for not asking permission Atty, but the servants and I wished to eat with you tonight so that you are not alone. Is that what you would like, they are all very excited?"

"oh that would be wonderful. Thank you Miranda. Come and walk with me? The weather is far too nice to stay indoors." she smiled and they made their way out of the house onto the hard beach that became softer as they walked. "what will happened to them?"

"What do you mean Attarah?"

"When I become a vampire. What will happen to the human servants, and to you?" she asked in worry.

"They will stay, even if we do not need to feed you, we will still have jobs tidying and making the beds. Even being personal shoppers for the females when the sun is out."

"That seems interesting. What about you?" she queried in worry as they reached the beach and began to walk along the the water.

"Well you won't have a use for me anymore and they can't leave me with my knowledge. I will either have to turn or remain working in the castle until I naturally die."

"Which would you prefer Miranda? You've been the first true friend I ever had, you stuck around me here when I really needed you. If you want to be a vampire, I can make that happen. And if not, I can make you stay human in the castle."

"Thank you Attarah, I do not know what I wish for yet. It would be nice to become a vampire though I worry it will be hard."

"I know. I am excited to be one because I'll finally be equal with everyone else, I won't be the frail one." she smiled in longing.

"The Kings will always treat you like glass Atty." she smiled.

"But I'm worried, the idea of not feeling this warmth on my skin, of not being bale to walk around amongst the humans and enjoy my life. Normal." she sighed.

"What about children?"

That was the ultimate question for Attarah, it meant a lot for her to answer truthfully for the first time. She'd thought about it a lot over the course of her human days in volterra .

"Having a child is something that I never knew I wanted, not until it was taken away from me. I was content on my own but the more I think about holding a warm bundle of my flesh and blood, the more I want it. I've been trying to ignore the idea but in my dreams I see that angelic face and I find myself considering how it could be possible. The King's would never raise a human child, they wouldn't look after one that did not belong to them and they are infertile. "she sighed and looked at the sea.

" if adoption is what you would like Attarah, I'm sure they'll allow you it have it. The king would go to the ends of the earth to please you. It would be hard for the of course. Especially Marcus, the servants informed me that he's always longed to produce a child of his own."

" Marcus would make an absolutely brilliant father. They all would."

"let's talk about something else Atty, i do not want to upset you. In anyway."

"what is the secret that everyone is hiding Miranda? The servants whisper but fall silent when I look and Felix is obviously nervous but I do not know why?"

"I do not think I can tell you that mistress Attarah."

"Why not? What's it about Miranda?"

"It's about the King's ... And your family."
