“Please Husband, our baby is dying, please.” I cried out so desperately with my heart tearing apart. The door was slammed so hard I flinched, hearing it lock behind him. My hands shook with me collapsing on the floor. I had nothing else to say, had no other plan. I had failed my little angel, maybe if I had told him sooner then this would not have happened. Maybe if I had not emptied the bottle of poison, I would have had a fair chance of convincing him. Guilt and loss ate at me with me seeing no way out.
I lay on the cold floor, drifting in and out of consciousness. I lost the sense of time as everything span all around me. I kept drifting off to this dark place that had my skin shudder, it smelt and felt like death, having me kick and fight to get out. The darkness was pulling me in with the screams loud in my ears so I fought harder and harder to get out. I could not give up, I could not give up just yet. I had to fight for
We stood in front of large wooden doors. I could hear the people inside and knew this was it. More tears flooded through, tears I tried but failed to hold. My arms moved around my belly, my heart drumming as my baby was not kicking. Maybe it was a good thing he died on his own other than because his mother had been ripped apart so cruelly. I hoped he found peace, I hoped he had found his way to heaven where he would be singing and dancing with the angels. I prayed he was safe and happy, hoping that one day I would be able to meet him and hold him. There was nothing more I was fighting for. My mate had cast me out and arranged my death and my family had disowned me. Death was all that waited for me but then my mind drifted off to that dark place I had seen and I paled. I did not want to die, I did not want to be tortured by demons where I would never find peace. My tears streamed down but soon the doors were opened and the guards in front of me began walking. I stood where I was, a h
I stared at Vampir's eyes, him wearing his royal robe with his crown on his head. He looked so handsome with his eyes dark and filled with a feeling I could not point out. I stared at him as the memory of us running around the garden hit me. I could remember the first time I had seen him, how scared I was. My heart fluttered as my tears slipped yet I found a smile gracing my face. He stared at me, watching with his eyes getting darker knowing his rage was hitting the roof. He was misinterpreting, his body bolted up his chair and I knew he was on his way down to end me. I stood waiting for it. If I was to die then I would die by his hand.In all the mist, the doors suddenly flew wide open, the sound echoing all over the room so much so I flinched with my eyes snapping to the door. Two young girls around the age of eighteen walked in. They wore simple white dresses that floated all around them. Light suddenly shone through the door, light that could blind. T
I wondered if he was happy, wondered if it pleased him to see me like this. I stared at him, begging in a way and not even knowing what I was begging for. I saw the queen watch me only to turn and stare at the king.“My name is princess….”I paused, the pain hitting at once as I swallowed.“I am Anastasia Furthrone and I was sent to wed the king.” I paraphrased, waiting for the words to sink in.“The king is my mate…..”My words were cut off by the queen herself.“Vampir, why am I just hearing of this?” Her voice was loud and clear.“You don’t like being disturbed when planning.” He answered with her own words.“Don’t patronize me boy, there is no way you have a mate, please tell me you did not fall for that trick?”“She is mom,now
The baby kicked with all he had. I lay frozen where I was as a laugh escaped me. Our baby was not giving up and so was I. I pulled back, laughing, my hands going over to my stomach. I would not give up on him because he did not give up on me. My hands trembled, feeling the movement with the feeling of warmth washing over me.“I am sorry baby, I am here and daddy is here,” I said brushing my stomach, giggling. It was truly one of the best moments of my life with my heart drumming. My head snapped up as I saw the king staring at me still shocked, in his hand was a golden dagger and I was taken back as my eyes stayed on it. So, he was going to stab me with that. The dagger was sharp and long, it looked ancient with writings on it. I swallowed, watching his eyes close only to open as he shook off whatever he was feeling. His eyes held mine and I could not help but shake my head.“No husband, I will not let you kill our baby. Please.” I said, crawling backward and practically sliding on my
He would have killed me.“I am sorry to disturb this beautiful moment of you two but I just have to point out that there is no way this woman is carrying your child son.” The voice came just next to us. I sighed, my heart dropping as I turned to stare yet quickly averted my eyes before I went blind. Her hair was shining like the sun, so much so I swear the sun held nothing to her. You could tell that her light was pure yet something seemed so wrong with her as if tainted.“Mother are you sure?I know Wife, she is not that much of a good liar and I just have this feeling, I can’t shake it, she is carrying my child.” The king said back staring right into his mother’s face making me wonder if the light did not bother him.“You of all people should know better Aristarcus or have you forgotten?” The queen asked having my heart drum as I fumbled with my hands. I felt her eye
A rainbow cast over the water with animals I had never seen before coming out of I don’t know where. The garden was soon packed with all the trees and grass, dancing to the cool and moist breeze. All animals gathered either around the king or the queen. It was a wonder to watch and I felt like an intruder. I did not belong here, it felt like heaven on the realm and I was just not pure enough to be here. The king soon placed me down where my feet touched the moist soil feeling as if it was massaging my feet. I watched in awe as the witch queen was slowly lowered to the ground with her laugh dying down.The queen’s eyes opened with her landing on her feet. She started patting and greeting the animals and it seemed they understood her, leaving me wary. She would lower her forehead and place it on the foreheads of the animals and I would watch the creatures purr. It was a wonder and I was star-struck. After the long and weird greeting, I followed the king to his mother who soon turned wa
I was happy, so happy with everything forgotten. “Come,” He said, scooping me up in his arms and walking out with him. The water fell from us like a waterfall, the sun shining on us as he carried me out. I stared at his face as water droplets rolled down making him look so beautiful. What had I done to be so lucky? I tightened my arms around him with his head dashing down to me as he flashed me a smile that had me blushing and giggling. My head was buried in his chest as I took a whiff of his scent and it was pure bliss. I lay there, my eyes getting heavy all of a sudden. It had been a crazy two weeks and I was tired and bloody hungry. My stomach ached as I bit my lip wondering what we would do because I had to eat, our baby did not want anything I ate. I felt the sun on my skin, felt its sharp rays all over my body. The king suddenly came into a halt and my curiosity got the best of me as I pulled from his chest, looking only to wish I
“Feed and sleep, I will see you in the morning with the robes. You are not to get out of this garden until you give birth. As soon as you step a foot out, the baby will be in great danger. There is so much evil in the universe and that baby just became a target.” The queen said having me pale as I watched her turn around and slowly walk away. My body shuddered with her words playing in my head. Why would my baby be a target? We watched the queen retreat until she walked out never to be seen. I sighed, my head pounding with my baby restless. I dipped my head into Vampir’s chest with my eyes ready to close yet it carried so much new information which was hard to process.“You need to feed before sleeping,” The king’s voice came having me sigh. I was so tired, and talking was becoming a problem.“Use my neck,” The king came again as he lowered down my body to the ground. I could not help the
