Kyra-
Shortly after arriving in the room, Mel had left to go grab something. I thought she would return right away, but she has been gone for about five minutes now. I was beginning to get nervous.
“I can feel your anxiety all the way over here,” Caleb said from across the room.
Currently, he was sitting in one of the chairs that lined the wall, while I was sitting on the table with a hospital gown on that Mel told me to change into. He was right, I was feeling anxious.
Looking down at my hands, that was positioned on my lap, I noticed I was picking my nails. In all my years of knowing Mel, I never felt weird coming into the hospital wing. Even when her father was the pack doctor, he had made me feel welcomed.
Now if felt as if I was a lab experiment or something. It was like I was waiting on Mel to come back in and look at me like a freak. I haven’t felt like that in a long time. At least not since learning the truth of who I was
Kyra-Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Mel finished what she was doing and turned towards Caleb and me. I couldn’t read the expression on her face. In fact, I barely even recognized her anymore. It was as if she were a stranger to me.“I have to admit, I am a bit surprised at the results today.” Mel began, her voice sounding bleak.“What is it?” I asked while pushing off the bed to stand next to it.I knew I was probably a bit more eager than I should be, but the wait was killing me. I have spent so much time stressing over the well-being of my child, that I was starting to feel like I was going to burst if she didn’t tell me something. I couldn’t help but think she was intentionally keeping me in the dark.“I don’t know how to explain this exactly,” Mel spoke, turning her back towards me to look at the light board.“Just tell me!” I urged, my voice raising a b
Kyra-I didn’t know who was more floored about what Lucas said, me or Caleb. When I looked over at Caleb, his face was filled with stark fear. I wasn’t sure why I looked at him when Lucas said I was carrying two babies.It wasn’t like I haven’t had twins before. I just wasn’t sure how exactly it was possible for me to become pregnant again, while I was already pregnant. Now the question was, who’s the baby was?Could I have gotten pregnant twice with Hunter, or was one of the babies Caleb’s? Looking away from Caleb, I wondered if that was his thought as well. We may be doing good, but I wasn’t sure that now was a good time for us to be having a child together.“How is this possible?” I asked Lucas when I returned my attention to him.“It is a rare occurrence, but it does happen. Basically, it means you ovulated twice. Once when the first pregnancy took place, then once more a couple
Hunter-“You summoned me?” I asked Artemis as I walked up behind her.I wasn’t sure how many prisons she had, but I think by now I have come across over a hundred. There were a lot more than that, only I haven’t been able to explore too much. This land was constantly changing, making it difficult to find my way around.The only way I could even navigate anywhere was when I was looking for Artemis. It was as if she had a beacon or something around her. All I had to do was think about her and I knew where to find her.“You did so great with the last one that I wanted to see how you would do with this one.” She spoke.For the past few years, or I guess it hasn’t been that long. I don’t remember anything about what happened since the day that Artemis pulled me from the river. She was very secretive, which I hated.She saved me from drowning in the river, so I owed her a life debt. I still didn&rsqu
Hunter-It took me a minute to get my head straight after seeing the female. Shaking my head, I tried to clear my mind of the images of the unknown beautiful glowing-eyed female. I needed to try to focus on the task at hand.“What is your name?” I asked the crying female, keeping my voice soft so I didn’t frighten her any more than she probably already was.“Seraphine.” She spoke through her cries.It was a pretty name, it suited her well. I was kind of surprised that she really answered though. For a while, I figured she wasn’t going to talk to me after all.“Why are you crying Seraphine?” I asked.Taking a step towards her, I knelt in front of her. She flinched slightly, but I didn’t see any fear in her eyes. I was transfixed by how beautiful her eyes were.“I d-don’t want to be here.” She sobbed.“I wish I could help you with that. Maybe you can te
Hunter-“Fine! I will talk!” Seraphine screamed, just before I sliced into her flesh for probably the thousandth time.For a girl of her size, she had more resolve than the last one I tortured. With him, I was able to get what I needed out of him after a few hours. Seraphine on the other hand, well let’s just say I think it has been a couple of days.I was tired and was in desperate need of a shower. Not to mention, it wasn’t fun for me anymore. At first, I had been more into it than I wanted, mostly because of the crap she pulled.“Then tell me where he is at.” Artemis spoke.I had almost forgotten she was still here. I was a bit surprised she stayed to watch the entire thing. After the stunt I pulled to try to get Seraphine to talk without forcing it out of her, I figured she was watching to make sure I would do what she told me to do. After the first couple hundred wounds I inflicted, she still stuck around.
Caleb-She was pregnant with my child. I have listened to Lucas explain things, even ran it through my head multiple times. I still couldn’t wrap my head around it though. She was pregnant with my child, as well as Hunters.It wasn’t that I didn’t want kids, especially since it was with Kyra. I always loved the idea of having kids of my own running around with their little feet. I have dreamt of the day I could hold my child for the first time and see it look up with me with a smile I already knew would melt my heart.The issue I was having was that I didn’t understand how it was possible. Not only that but while I wanted kids, I just wasn’t sure now was the right time. Especially with what was going on with me.Then there was the thing between Kyra and me. Was it right to bring a child into a situation like ours? I kept staring at the monitor, while Lucas was pointing at a few things on the screen. After hearing that Kyra ha
Caleb-When I reached the basement, where we had the hunter locked up, I was pleased to see that the hunter was awake. Not only that, but he was also verbal as well. I heard him yelling up a storm before I reached the top of the stairs.“You won’t get away with this! My men will come for me and then you will all be sorry!” The hunter hollered to one of the guys keeping watch over him.Just hearing his voice made me want to turn around and return to Kyra though. I can already tell this was going to be more difficult than it was worth. For the first time in I don’t know how long, I felt complete, happy even.Now I had a feeling I was going to have my good mood soiled by the likes of him. Before making my presence known, I took a deep breath. Whether I liked it or not, this needed to be done, regardless of if it turned my mood sour.Since we were able to apprehend him, I have been racking my brain on what information to get out
Caleb-“I messed up really bad.” Zeke said as we came to a large steel door.There was a loud banging sound on the other side of the door, which sounded as if something was beating against it. At the top of the door, about eye level with me, was a small square metal panel that looked like it could be opened. Whatever was on the other side, sounded pissed.“What do you mean?” I asked, unable to take my eyes off the door we were standing nearby.“I am about to tell you something, but you must promise me that you will keep it to yourself. Kyra cannot know this. Can you give me your word?” He asked.There was something in the way he spoke that had me taking my eyes off the door and redirecting them to him. It almost appeared as if he was sweating. Not only that but he looked as if he hasn’t slept in weeks or longer.Whatever was going on with him, I was sure it wasn’t good. I also had a feeling it
