Call Of The Darkness

Chapter 10

All eyes were fixed on me apart from Fortis' eyes. He had them scrunched up waiting for the bullet to hit his chest.
"Keep him alive. He might be useful" I hear Umbra say and I can finally relax.
"Trust you to knock her up" Resonare mocks when he noticed the holovision thing was still on.
"Shut it" Fortis snaps,
"You should be glad your girly admitted to us that she had a bun in oven to save your skin. How useful" Resonare retorts,
"Oh and Opacare will show you to your room".
Opacare? Who's that. Out of the shadows crept a girl of about thirteen.
"Good day madam" she said to me and bowed,
"But I'm a prisoner?" I ask her,
"Everyone is considered higher than me" she sniffed, "Even prisoners",
"Don't talk to her" Resonare snapped.
Opacare was a petite boney girl with sunken eyes. Her long wavy dark brown hair that fell down to her waist was pinned back by a blue headband that matched the blue of her knee length dress that she wore trousers under.
Opacare stretched her frail hand towards a doorknob, slowly twisted it and creaked the door open.
"Make yourself comfortable" she said but kept a sad face her eyes firmly fixed on the ground. She quickly left the room shutting to door as quietly as possible.
The room was a bedroom. For one person. This room could sleep more than double my family. Even though it was still early in the day, I really wanted to get out if here, but it is impossible so I mean going to sleep, becoming unaware of the danger I've just put myself and it in.

I curl up in a ball under the covers, occasionally stretching my arms out so every inch of me got its own space.
"Hey" a voice said and a head popped through the door.
"Fortis" I say sitting up,
"Let's see" he said and I lifted up my top revealing the bump,
"Your getting big" he replies and I shoot him a look,
"You said that last time" I say,
"Bigger then. I can't believe The Caeruleus didn't know" he says and that gets me wondering.
"Girl, boy or Spock. Guess" he asks,
"Dunno. I want a girl but it'll be a boy and why would anyone want the pointy eared alien thing as a child" I say. Fortis had splayed his hand out over my bump waiting for a sign of movement.
"Names?" I ask him,
"Your the mum, you think of them" he replies,
"Oh ok" I sigh, "Boy? James or Reuben. Girl? Cypris or Yasmin. What do you think?",
"Absolutely wonderful" he replies,
"I wish I knew whether it was a boy or girl so we can stop calling the baby 'it'. Cos it makes me feel like the foetus isn't human" I whisper,
"Yes, but it would be a nice surprise" he says,
"I realised that" I mutter, "What will they to us in Cinereo? Mutated? Brainwashed? Tortured? Shot on the spot cos it's killing two Spirit Warriors and probably another as well?" I ask him staring at my bump still wondering how I couldn't be noticed.
"We'll be fine, I promise" he replies and kisses me, then the bump and leaves the room to find his bedroom.
A baby. Still I can't believe it. My baby. Oh my god. Am I ready for this? Well,
1. I'm in danger
2. I'm seventeen
3. I'm a long long way from the perfect life for a baby
Shit. How did this happen? Then I remembered. Vivos thought brought 'Non-alcoholic' wine for my seventeenth birthday but he brought the wrong one and we were ummm. Drunk. But I just can't remember what happened later on, I just can't and in many ways refuse to remember. Double shit. I turned seventeen five months ago. I just hope I die before the baby is born. I just don't want him used as a weapon or anything. I'm undone. Hang on I said 'him', well at least I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a boy.

"Wakey, wakey" a voice came from behind the door, I must have fallen asleep so I yell back at them,
"I am, now go away" but I could see a shadow from under the door.
"You heard the lady, scram" I hear Fortis' voice from behind the door. I drag myself to my feet and open the door.
"Ohhh good your changed" he says to me,
"Why is it good?" I ask
"We've landed" he replies and suddenly from behind I was cuffed and so was Fortis.
I realised I was being pulled by Resonare so I decide to interrogate him.
"What are you going to do with me?" I ask,
"Nothing at the moment" he replies,
"What are you going to do with Fortis?" I ask,
"Inprison him, run a few tests, et cectra" he replies,
"And the baby?" I ask,
"Doing you a favour" he replies,
"What favour?" I ask,
"Finding out its gender" he replies "It's what you have been asking for the last I don't know five months or so".
"Cluedo. Who, what, where, how, when about Lubrica's death?" I ask him,
"Ok. Who. Emperor. What. A bullet. Where. To the head in Long-glade palace. How. Instantaneous. When. Two days after you escaped" he replies slowly,
"Were you for Lubrica's death?" I ask him,
"What?" he replies,
"I'll repeat the question but simplified. Did you want Lubrica to be killed?" I ask,
"W-w-what? Uhhh, shut up preggers" he snaps and slaps me across the face and dragged me out the hover ship after a trek through the corridors.
"Ok. Let's get you and ya boyfriend to the Nigrum Frigus" Umbra says and then it all went black.

I wish they would warn me if they were going to knock me unconscious. I even know where the Nigrum Frigus is and how to get in and out, so that just defeats the purpose. Luckily this time I wasn't strapped to a slab of metal. I was lying on a bed, my head aching and the room spinning. Ahhhhhh, sore skull, excruciating pain shooting round my brain. Hey, since when did a prison have a luxury double bed like this. My head was swimming even though I've been here before.
I sat up and glanced around at the room, gazing at the cream wallpaper, polished stone flooring and neatly folded clothes. Clothes? Yes I did just say clothes. Beautiful dresses, exquisite shoes and delicate accessories. All these outfits scarily had matching baby outfits even though nobody knows its sex. How long are they going to keep me here? Also I have a hunch that the Caeruleus want something to do with my child.
