-Karen-

I took the pails and went back out to the table where Joanne and I continued feasting. “These are so good Karen! You have such great taste in snacks!” She exclaimed as we ate through more than half of the blackberries and only a quarter of the raspberries. Blackberries are way tastier than raspberries. I felt like I was going to pop I had eaten so much. I sat down just stared at the table feeling very depressed with myself. I ate like a pig again. But I was so hungry! I’m going to gain even more weight. What if Conor thinks I’m getting fat? What if he doesn’t want me anymore? What am I going to do?! I looked down at the ring on my right finger and felt a small bit of reassurance but not much. He did promise he wouldn’t leave me.

A hand waiving in front of my face brought me back to reality. Conor was sitting next to me. He took my left hand and kissed it sweetly. “Am I fat?!” I asked him seriously. I just wanted to cry, and I couldn’t figure out why. What is wrong with me? Why

    -Karen-The next two days passed by uneventfully which I was happy about. Conor had drills with the soldiers each morning, so Joanne and Bart kept me company. Bart was educating both of us on what to expect with babies. This is going to be a ton of work! Who knew babies needed so much looking after? Well, I guess it makes sense since they can’t do anything ‘cept sleep and cry… And get diaper changes… Bart gave me a cube each day around lunch and it was not the best tasting thing I had eaten but I ate it without causing a scene. Every time I ate one Joanne would laugh at the look on my face. Conor and I spent each night talking about what we wanted to teach this child of ours. This baby was now the focus of most of our conversations. We knew that once our little pumpkin arrived we wouldn’t be sleeping much. Conor said if I wanted, he would hire a wet nurse to help me with the baby so that I could rest as much as possible. I told him I would have to think about it since I did want a fu

    -Karen-“I had Roger sedate him for a little bit. I wondered why his food bill went down a fair bit for the last few weeks. Everything adds up now that we have questioned the doctor that Bart has been consulting.” A cruel smile crept on to his face. This just gets worse by the second. “We can’t leave any bruises on her, Michael. Your brother will lose his mind if she gets hurt. Especially since she is carrying his child.” Zachary instructed as he walked over to us. They are going to use me… There’s no mistake about it.“Unfortunately, we don’t have any good mistresses here right now; but we have needs that need to be accommodated. So, if you value your life and that of the baby in your belly, you will submit without a qualm or I will stomp that life out of you with no more effort than it took to execute your former Queen.” He paused a moment and then continued. “However, I’m so pissed off at Conor; I just might have that done anyway.” What?! “He’s been crossing several lines with his

    -Bart-“Do you think she and the baby will be alright Bart?” The woman asked casting a glance back to Conor who was asleep on his stomach. She was dressed like a soldier and a short sword hung at her side. She was fairly tall and muscular for a woman. She looked almost identical to Conor and Michael, but her eyes were green, and her dark brown hair was long and wavy down to the middle of her back. “I would hate to see Conor lose his mind over this girl.”“I haven’t been able to examine her yet, Elsie. They just let her go about five minutes ago.” Bart replied as he pressed his stethoscope to Karen’s chest for about a minute. He then moved it down to her belly for another minute. “Well, I can hear the baby’s heartbeat… She doesn’t appear to have any physical injuries that I can see. But I’m fairly certain that she was forced into pleasing your father and his lusty generals…” Bart started doing a limited pelvic exam on Karen to make sure there were no obvious injuries. “She has to have

    -Conor-Conor slowly stirred, rubbing his face and shaking his head. Ugh! My head is throbbing… My back is sore too but that was a lot of lashings I got dealt. “Brother! Are you out of your fucking mind?!” Elsie snapped angrily. Shut up. You’re going to make my migraine worse!“I guess I am… You here to beat me too Elsie?” Conor asked looking over at Elsie rather annoyed. I’m starting to hate every single person in my family. “You might as well jump on that train since Michael already got to me today. At least if you do, Bart is here to fix me up again.” Ugh… My head!“No. I came because I wanted to make sure you were okay. Bart did a great job fixing you up. You can barely tell that you were flogged…” Elsie paused as Conor shook his head. Thank you Bart… But what about Karen? “What? What’s wrong?” Elsie asked as Conor set his head back down. Kay, where is my sweet flower? I hope she and the baby are okay! Conor looked really depressed and nervous. “What have you heard about Karen? I

    -Conor-“Are you serious? How do you know she wasn’t lying?” Conor asked narrowing his eyes at his father. She’s… A noble? My flower is a noble?! I mean, I love her no matter what but that’s so unexpected!Zachary handed him a small folded up paper scroll. “I am. I put it on the Empire. The woman even brought me this birth certificate showing her noble lineage is on her father’s side. I had the doctor Bart consults validate it. As it turns out, the father of Karen is the woman’s father-in-law. And I thought half of our noblewomen were whores…” Zachary explained with an amused laugh. So… What does this mean? “I told you, you could keep her as a servant, Conor. And I will admit I’ve been extremely furious with you for the last few months when I found out you started having feelings for her and then heard a few days ago that you got her pregnant.” Conor opened the scroll and it showed that ‘Lady Karen Anne Elizabeth of Mazifik was born on the third day of Marama at the Bashten House in t

    -Karen-I woke immediately as I felt a jolt of lightning surge through me. I screamed from the pain. “Why did you do that?!” Ouch! That really hurt! I looked over and saw a black-haired woman with violet eyes, about my height, weight and body build, wearing a black dress and cloak. “Who are you?!” I snapped angrily as I pulled my hand away from her. What the hell?! The resemblance was uncanny. She could have been my twin easily.The woman scoffed. “Really? You have no idea?” She asked with a mean grin, looking down her nose at me. “You can’t be that stupid.” Is she my mother? “I know they gave you a basic education but I never thought anyone would be that dumb.”“No, I don’t! And I certainly don’t like how you chose to wake me up! You’re quite rude, you know!” I snapped angrily. I rubbed my belly and decided to stand up and face this woman. “Get out right now! You aren’t welcome here.” Is it really her?She stepped up to me without a bit of fear in eyes. Is she about to challenge me?

    -Karen-I felt someone pulling me away from the chaise. Conor hugged me tightly to him. “Don’t listen to those empty angry words. She’s just a hateful bitch.” I will admit it’s a bit hard not to let her words hurt me.“You’re going to be an amazing mother! I just know it!” Joanne added joining in on the hug.“Agreed! But she needs to rest you two. Joanne, you should be resting too.” Bart instructed, prodding us. “Conor too. But all three of you are stubborn so I doubt any of you will listen.” I hadn’t realized I was shaking from being so angry until Conor was trying to steady me. “Can I get something to eat please? I haven’t eaten yet today…” I grumbled crawling into the bed. I curled up to a pillow and faced away from them crying out of anger. I’m so angry I could kill someone! I just want to punch the hell out of a wall!“I’ll get something brought up for us.” Bart answered, leaving quickly. “Stay laying down Karen.” I rolled my eyes in reply.Joanne and Conor were talking about so

    -Karen-He chuckled again and left me waiting until I sweetly nipped his neck. “You’re getting your wish.” Conor answered softly. “We are having a boy.” He murmured as I giggled excitedly. A boy! I held him tightly. Our pumpkin is a boy! I couldn’t help but be so overwhelming happy. “I’m so excited! I get my boy after all!”“I want a daughter next. I want my Elizabeth! You better give me one!” He reached over to the desk, grabbed the bowl and held up a strawberry to my lips. “I know you have to be starving now.” I nodded and ate the berry he placed on my tongue. “Bertha told me the week before you woke up. I just hope he is as vivacious as you are with your tenacity.” He gave me a piece of cheese next.“I hope he looks just like you. Handsome and strong. And so kind!” I rubbed my belly sitting there in my own world for a moment as I soaked up the happy feelings this left me with. Conor held another strawberry to my lips. “How did I get so lucky?” I whispered. I ate the berry slowly,

    -Conor-“I have a terrible feeling about this Nathan. We need to go to her. As soon as possible.” Conor said pacing back and forth in front of all the Mages. “After she lost consciousness, Eldon came and took her away. All he said was that she was being summoned by a tree. That's when a portal was made for me to come back here.”Nathan's eyes got wide and he lost the coloring in his face. “The Tree summoned her?” A serious yet terrified look remained on his face. Alexander started screaming making everyone jump. A portal opened and everyone stood up while Joanne worked to calm him down. “Karen?” Conor asked feeling hopeful. Eldon walked through carrying her, but he was stoic. “She’s going to be okay, right?”Eldon gently placed her into his arms. He didn’t answer right away. “Not exactly.” The portal shut as all the Mages gathered around. “As you know, she won the war against your father with your help. However, she lost the fight.” He said quietly. “Senescence, has deemed that she i

    “Soul Release.” I whispered quietly. I watched as the souls compressed into different color orbs and floated away on the breeze. Bombs started falling around me while breathing became harder. “Healing Serenity.” I’ve used a flurry of spells and I still have a small chunk of magic left. I can easily get two or three more Master spells… I think. I decided to change positions so I could get a better aim at the last large ship flying around. I still have those small ships too… I took a deep breath and sent a Blazing Hypernova up to the middle area of the small ships. They all exploded in a bright flash and the wreckage fell to the destroyed town. I looked around for the large ship, but a bullet ricocheted very close to where I stood. Suddenly, more soldiers appeared charging at me.“Frostfire Surge!” I shouted angrily. All the soldiers shouted in pain and collapsed dead around us in heaps. I pointed up at the sky as the ship tried to leave again. “Blazing Hypernova!” Due to the high level

    -Karen-A blow to the back of the head put me on the ground faster than I ever thought possible. Blow after blow was delivered as I squirmed to get away, but Zachary pinned me under him and continued to land a barrage of punches. He yelled and screamed about what I had done to his family. I grabbed his ankle and let him have a taste of ‘Lightning Surge’. It bought me enough precious time to weakly get to my knees.“Recovery Salvo.” I shakily got to my feet and leaned against the wall, but he was no where to be seen. I looked around nervously, but nothing moved. I heard the bullets before I felt them. Hot metal burrowed its way into my right thigh followed by my abdomen, left arm and chest. I collapsed in heap trying to fight the massive amounts of pain I felt. “Healing Serenity!” I whispered under my breath. Damn, another healing spell… I whispered for a portal and fled to the shadows of a building across town. There were still so many ships in the air, and I was starting to feel the

    -Karen-“We don’t have a choice anymore!” I snapped back frustratedly. “This is it, Conor- We fight or we die- I’m not about to let him claim victory. There is going to have to be a risk in order to win this fight. I plan on coming back, you know.”“But what if you don’t, Kay? What if Eldon doesn’t revive you?” Conor asked firmly. He cupped my face and stared me in the eyes. “What if you’re gone forever?” What if… Such a big 'what if' and its running through my mind too.I didn’t answer him right away. “I’m going to die someday. I’d rather die fighting for my family and the people I care about than to run and live in fear wondering if today will be the day. As long as I don’t exhaust my magic and turn into a demon, I should be fine.” I’ve used a small bit of my magic, but I still have more than plenty. As long as I can take them out in fifteen to twenty Master level attacks, it should be okay. Permitting this doesn’t drag out for very long.I could see he was very much not accepting o

    -Karen-“Your sudden jerking movements re-opened a wound I repaired.” Bart explained as I lay still looking up at the ceiling of the empty crypt bed. “I stitched it closed but you can't be doing those type of movements yet.” I sighed feeling useless as another bomb shook the ground.“Let me put some salve on her stitches, doctor.” Valerie murmured rubbing in a sweet smelling cream. “This should help numb the stitches so they won't hurt if you do have to move.”“Thank you both.” I replied, slowly sitting up. “Those bombs have been falling for the last three days now. How much more punishment can the main floor of the Crypts take?” I asked Nathan, feeling uneasy about our situation.I could see that Nathan was very reluctant to answer. “It probably won't be much longer, honestly. We have to make some hard choices now. The only other place we can go is the Forest and that has its own set of challenges and hazards as you know.” He heaved a heavy sigh, rubbing his face from the growing pre

    -Karen-At the snap of my fingers, my brother’s arms were torn from his body. Screams of agony echoed around me while the soldiers took aim at me. A soldier was yelling, but I paid him no mind. I heard the same soldier call my brother’s name, Marcus, telling him to hold on. I giggled softly enjoying this scary side of myself and met Marcus’s now terrified yet agonized gaze. “Marcus… I’m going to annihilate you and as I do, I will make sure that your soul quivers in unimaginable terror.” He some how lost more coloring in is face at my calm words“Ground Spears!” I shouted angrily punching up into the air. The soldiers that surrounded us were now high up on the points of the spears with blood gushing and dripping down the jagged rocks, more groans and moans of pain filling the air which was tainted with the scent of blood. “Soul Snatch!” I ripped the wispy soul out of the body, and he looked terrified. “Soul’s Doom!” Just like before, a white demon charged right at him and shredded his

    -Karen-I woke up enveloped in warmth, but I was extremely sore. I really felt like I hit every tree branch coming down from that fall. So sweet- He changed my dress. The orchid under dress. I looked over to my right and saw Conor and Alexander cuddled up next to me both sleeping with their mouths open. Ha- My loves. “Conor!” I whispered softly. I tried to roll over and found out that was a mistake. Ah! I’m still busted up pretty badly… I grabbed his hand that was cupping my left cheek and gently squeezed it. Wake up!Without opening his eyes, “You’re the most recklessly insane person I know, Karen Anne Elizabeth. That was awe-inspiring, terrifying and thrilling all at once, but I don’t want to repeat that any time soon.” Conor said rubbing my cheek with his index finger. Mm. So warm… “We’ve only lost two ships in two separate incidents before but that was insane!” He opened an eye and leaned into me. “You have a lot of injuries still. You broke lots of bones. Bet you’re sore?”“Very!

    -Karen-Conor groaned while rubbing his face and then looked up at me. He rubbed his eyes again. “Is that really you, Kay? You’re not an illusion, right?” He whispered sitting up quickly and grabbing my left hand pressing my palm to his lips. “You know I’m not upset with you- Don’t you?” I dropped my gaze feeling so much shame as I stood before him. “I-”“You may not be upset but I am.” I interrupted quietly. “I just see myself punching you and then charging at Joanne and then the nightmares I had. I may not be cursed anymore but the weight of my guilt is so heavy. I feel like I should just die and end everything once and for all. But that wouldn’t be fair to you or to Alex.” I closed the gap between us and hugged him tightly. “I love you Conor. I love you and I hate that I only hurt you… I feel like I do nothing but that.”He was silent but he held me tightly to him after he pulled me onto his lap. “I wasn’t sure if I was going to get this again.” Conor kissed my cheek and nuzzled my

    -Karen-Sweet kisses on my lips woke me up though it took me several minutes to realize I was in bed next to Conor. As soon as I did, I tried to move away from him. “Ah ah ah!” He captured me quickly and pulled me back to him. No. Please don’t!I completely avoided his gazes and wouldn’t let him kiss me at all. “Karen- You won’t even look at me.” I could hear the disappointment in his voice. “Alexander cried all night after you left. Will you at least hug him?” I shook my head. “He says Mama now.” I don’t care. I can’t be here anymore! I only hurt you. I can’t continue to be a danger to you and everyone else here.I took advantage of the situation and pulled away from him. “Karen! Wait!” I left the tent as quickly as I could hearing him following me. “Please just listen to me!”All eyes were on me and it shot me right back to the memory of charging at Joanne. I dashed to the clearing and left the camp as fast as I could. I raced back to the Royal Crypt, crying the whole way. The guilt
