Barely aware of the others around it, the creature reveled
in the power it felt from the baby. She would have been a very powerful
child, the demon thought, if she would have been born, but the creature didn't
plan on letting that happen. It shouldn't be much longer now, and then the
demon could turn its attention to the others.
Julia winced and curled up on her side, the pain intense
to the point that calling out to Derek ended up being little more than a
pathetic whispered cry.
But her mind and soul were screaming in
protest NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE HER -- NOT OUR
DAUGHTER!
