CHAPTER 18: RISK AND REWARD

~ Kim ~

I was going to ignore her, but she moved to the drawer beside my bed. I watched her with slightly opened eyes as she pulled it open and then took out a large bundle of notes to slip into the drawer.

“What are you doing?” I grabbed her hand before it got into the drawer. Elena released her grip, ultimately dropping the cash in my drawer.

“ARGHHHHH!!!” She screamed at the top of her voice. The frequency was so high, for a second I thought I was going to lose

    CHAPTER 41: I’m not pregnant~ KIM ~‘Well, that was awkward.’Rachel did not have to state the obvious, but as soon as the door closed behind me, she did anyway.“It’s becoming really difficult to get a hold of you these days.”“Ah!”I tried not to shout too loud, before realizing it was just Logan.“Okay. Really. I need to learn to start locking this door when I’m not in inside.” I walked over to the bed, leaving Logan in the couch.“I’m sorry. I would stop letting myself in.”As right as what he said was, it did not pacify me.I hissed. I fell with my back onto the bed and placed my hand on my forehead.“Kim, I’m sorry.”“I already promised... ”“It’s not you!” I jumped in.I took a deep breath and then another minute after to put myself together.“Catherine thinks I’m pregnant.”Logan’s face had too many emotions written on it, in my eyes it turned out blank.“Uhm... congratulations?”He was unsure of what to say and rightfully so.“No!”“No, as in, you don’t want the baby? Is t

    CHAPTER 40:~ KIM ~“If I had told you that I couldn’t, because of the draining effect, you’d probably think I didn’t care about Catherine enough.”It was Elena.Her voice was faint, but I could still recognize it.“I would never do that. I know how much you love my mother, but it means so much to me that you went the extra mile to do this, despite knowing its effect on you.”Richard’s voice was what followed. Their conversation slowly unfolding how badly I was betrayed.“You know I love you and I would do just about anything for you.”“I love you too, Elena, and now... now, I owe you more than my life. I owe you my mother’s as well.”“If ever you need anything. Anything at all. Just say the world.”‘She lied to me.’I believed that Richard knew this was all me. I thought we were lying to the world, but I was the one being lied to. Deceived. Betrayed.The knife cut deeper than I thought it would.Tears welled in my eyes.I turned around and dashed away from the door.“Kim... ”I hea

    CHAPTER 39: BLACK HOLE~ KIM ~“Kim... I don’t feel so good.”Elena sounded sluggish and it was not out of place. It just meant we were running out of time.For over three hours, I had been trying to push healing powers into Catherine. For over three hours, it was like pouring water on a rock.Every time I tried, I felt power leave me. I felt a pull further into the dark, but there was no change on Catherine.“Kim... ”Elena’s eyes were beginning to move funny.“I’ll try one more time.”I took a deep breath, focused everything that I had and gently placed my hand on Catherine’s forehead.I closed my eyes and held, waiting to feel the rock crack. Instead, I heard a loud thud from behind me.“Elena!”She could not take the power sap anymore and passed out.“Elena!”My voice got louder. My mind ran in a hundred different directions.My confusion hit its peak when Catherine started coughing and voices were filtered into the room from the hallway.“Think! Think!! Think!!! Kim.”A way ou

    CHAPTER 38: SISTER SWITCH ~ KIM ~“Argh!!!”I had seen all sorts of creepy things, especially in my four years in the rogue dungeon. None of those prepared me for how creepy it would be to wake up to Elena sitting beside my bed and staring at my face.“Relax. It’s just me.”“All the more reason it’s disturbing.” I managed to catch my breath. “What happened?”I pushed and sat upright.The look in Elena’s eyes was disturbing.“Oh, my goodness! Catherine did not... She was better this morning when Logan and I left her. At least we thought so. Oh, my goodness.”I used a hundred words in a minute.“Kim... Relax. Catherine is not dead.”I exhaled.“Okay? So, if she’s not, why were you sitting beside my bed waiting for me to wake up?” I probed.“Because I need a favor.”I froze.Chuckled.Then I realized a bit of seriousness on her face.Actually, a lot of it.“Oh! You mean it?” I adjusted again.“You mean another favor other than coming here to marry your husband and have a child for you

    CHAPTER 37: CATHERINE ‘FALL’~ KIM ~“Hey,”Logan sneaked up on me from behind.“Hi.”“They’re back, huh?”“Yep.” I nodded.“How unfortunate. I was just getting used to the peace.”I smiled faintly.“You and me both.”My response was a tough covering for the excitement I was feeling on the inside.The mere sight of him had my heart beating at twice the normal rate.“Logan... lunch is for everybody today.”Catherine Fell’s voice came from the living area.“Well... There we go.”Logan rolled his eyes.“Do I have to?”I could not imagine facing them. Elena and Richard in the same space was never a good combination, especially for me.“You heard the woman. For everybody.”Logan’s imitation of Catherine Fell was funny and those few seconds of laughter made it easier to walk into the dining room.“Welcome back. Trust you both had a great time.”Logan pulled out a seat for me and one for himself beside me.Catherine let Richard have her seat at the head of the table, with herself and Elena

    CHAPTER 36: VACATION'S OVER~ RICHARD ~“Arghhh!!!” She yelled at the top of her voice as soon as she saw me. I must confess I was pretty terrified too, but I managed to keep it down as soon as I realized she was the one. “What is wrong with you?” She looked cute being scared. Holding her chest and breathing heavily. “What is wrong with me? Why are you always sneaking into a house that's not yours?” I fired at her. “You've been kept at a big mansion, why is that not enough for you?” Her eyes folded. “Aren't you supposed to be on the other side of the world with Elena or something?” “Here we go again with the questions.” I rolled my eyes. Fighting her for questioning me was the only way I knew to escape answering those questions and this was a more special case. There was no way I was going to tell her that Elena wanted us on the other side of the world, but I convinced her to remain in the neighboring pack. I needed to be able to return at night. Keep my eyes on things aroun
