Eternal Hearts Book Five: Blood of Our Blood

Blood of Our Blood

Prologue

Manchester, England:
Midnight...

Two scientist discussed the
results of experiments they performed on heifers unable to
reproduce. They had recieved a formula from a woman they knew
only as Megan Le Fay. She was obscenely rich and heard about the
men's attempts at trying to treat infertile women who desperately
wanted to have children. She approached the men making them a
proposition they could hardly refuse. In exchange for keeping her
true identity secret and agreeing to use a formula she claimed
would bring results to infertile women, she would give them
financial support to fund their research. There was of course
another part to the bargain. The formula which she would give
them had to remain her secret.

Somewhat skeptical but
nevertheless eager, the scientist agree with Megan and begin
experimenting with the formula they were given. They begin
experiments upon female cows unable to concieve. To their
astonishment, the results are to say the least, astounding.

"This is amazing! Every
heifer that we've experimented upon has produced one, and
sometimes two calves!" Simon exclaimed.

"This could be the
greatest breakthrough in fertility treatment science has ever
seen." Said Eric, Simon's associate and partner.

"Eric, remember the deal.
We can't share this formula with anyone else or we lose our
funding. The secret has to stay with us. Besides, the scientific
community would be far too skeptical of this discovery to let it
remain with us. Not to mention if it should ever fall into the
wrong hands." Simon replied.

"Yes...of course. But we
should begin testing on human females as soon as possible. If we
have the same results with women that we have with female cows,
then we can make enough money to continue funding our
operations." Eric said.

"Don't worry about money
Eric. Miss Le Fay has agreed to fund our experiments for as long
as we need. We've been at this for a year now with great results.
We need to analyze the results. We need to study the calves and
make sure that there are no negative side affects to this
treatment. We also need to make sure there are no lasting side
affects upon the mothers as well. All this needs to be done
before we even think about testing on human females." Simon
explained.

Eric said nothing. He simply
nodded his head. He got a stern look in his eye as Simon turned
his back.

Two days later....

"Yes. These heifers are
useless to me. They're sterile and they're no use to me if they
can't produce offspring." Eric said as he spoke to a
slaughter house owner over the phone.

"Yes. They're healthy.
The meat should be quite useful to you. I'll have them delivered
to you immediately." He finished as he turned off his phone.
Then he looked down at the crumpled heap that was his partner.

"Sorry Simon, but I'm
afraid your finer sense of ethics just got in the way of my
plans. Such a pity that you couldn't get over your aprehensions.
Oh well, more profits for me anyway."
