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
It was dark and cold.I wrapped my arms around my body, my feet turning as my eyes took in the dark walls that caged me in. There was a plop, water filling the ground with drops dripping somewhere around. I felt a woosh, something moving around me, having me quickly turn. My heart was drumming in my ears nearly having me deaf. I knew where I was. I did not know why I was here yet I knew so well. I closed my eyes and closed them hard, wanting to tell myself that it was a dream but a dream had never felt so real. The air was acidic, breathing it sure killing something in my body as a certain smell lingered in my nose, a smell that had my stomach twirl with the intensity to vomit suddenly high. My eyes took the place in, the darkness was so unnatural, too dark and dense to be good. My skin shivered, wanting to get out of here but, how could I?I wanted to scream, wanted to shout my lungs out yet my fear had my airways clogged, having it hard to even breathe. I could feel the eyes on me,
The king’s form disappeared and I was left staring at thin air. My whole body was sticky from sweating so much in my sleep. All I needed was to soak in warm water filled with my oils and shower gel, music playing in the speakers. My eyes closed with the picture in my mind but as I opened my eyes they fell on the long legs of the queen covered by something that I guessed to be a white robe and behind her was the river that waited for me. My body was protesting, it being nice being here but now that I had no other option it was suddenly not so nice.“Go bath. I have your robes, I have already bore through much torture at staring at your bare body” The queen said, cheeky as always. I wished I could say that I had gotten used to her snaky comments but I had not and did not think I ever would, she seemed determined to make me regret the day I wed her son.“Go on now, I don’t have all day.” The queen came
It was a few minutes later when I walked out. My hair cascaded down my back with water falling from it. It’s silver colour was bright and vibrant, everything about me bright and vibrant.I walked up to the group, the queen still on her story, probably telling another one though because how long can a story be?“Sorry to disturb your majesty but can I have the robes?” I asked with the queen not saying anything back. I stood there, shifting my weight from side to side wishing I could disappear and never exist. I knew we were all supposed to be free with our bodies but it was just so uncomfortable and humiliating. I waited and after a long while she stood up and turned to stare at me.The queen’s face lingered, taking me up and down having me sigh and clench my fists wishing I could just smash her. She stared at me or I guess she was because I could not really see her face with her shine too bright.
I happily sighed, my eyes still closed as I turned with a wide smile on my face. My body was tingling, the sun bathing on us as we lay down. He held me tight as if afraid I would vanish in his arms. When last had I had a good night sleep? I did not know but I had just had the best sleep in my life. Lips brushed against mine having me giggle as I stretched my arms with my eyes still lazy to open.“Morning.” I said with my eyes fluttering open with his eyes being the first thing I came to see and what a beautiful sight to wake up to, something for my sore eyes as my day was made just from staring at him. The sun shone on his face, having him look dashing and angelic. I could not help but blush as my body was brought closer to his chest. We were in our cave, my new home, the thought having me groan. I liked this place, I really did but not for being there for whatever months.“Do you know how long this pregnancy will take?&rdq

3 YEARS LATER“ The oil smells amazing, I am so addicted. Vampir is teaching me some simple magic and it’s so exciting.” I giggled out, licking my ice cream. The sun was out and just amazing to feel on the skin.“ Magic is a beautiful thing, there is no way you can not be addicted to it. Just taking the energies all around you and creating something so powerful from nature, its amazing. Learning it and raising Vampir was all that kept me sane all those years.” My mother-in-law said with me smiling and moving my hand to her shoulder.“ You did good on both aspects, look at him now, acting all grown up.” I said to her as we both burst out laughing. My heart was light, so much happiness and joy in my life.The goddess of light had gone through a mental break down when she fell from heaven. How could she not? She had left her home, and everything she knew behind. She had left her love behind, the man who made everything alright. On top of that, she had lost her powers, the core of her. A
“ Is this okay?” I asked, my heart literally beating even from my vagina with how nervous I was.“ Yes wife, you are asking me for the sixth time.” Vampir spoke out with me giggling nervously.“ I need to be sure my love, they are so tiny.” I answered back, scared I would drop my angel from my hands.Parenting with Vampir was the best thing ever. Apparently, he raised a million babies and was a pro at this. At first I was disappointed at this because I felt as if I would have loved for us to be hopeless together, not knowing what to expect and just experiencing everything for the first time together. But, him being experienced was actually helpful since I knew nothing at all about babies, never even held one and barely seen one with my bare eyes. Vampir patiently taught me, and helped me until I got it.Our little prince loved the water while our cute little princess hated the hell out of them. She cried so hard I nearly dropped her but Vampir came and whisked her away from my shaking
It was warmth like none I had ever felt. My body felt as if it was in the hands of the goddess herself. I stopped right in my train of thought as a voice echoed in my head. My head throbbed even thinking of a certain voice that had nearly tore my brain apart while trying to slip in and take control. I don’t know how but I knew it was her, I knew it was the moon goddess. Even just thinking about it nearly had me think I was crazy yet I could not shake the feeling, I just knew it was her.My body and brain were on the same line, wanting me to close my eyes and just drift back to sleep because I had never felt so good in my life. There was this sweet subtle sensation that ran all over my body. It was addictive, a certain weight over my chest that brought such sweet emotions on me.My eyes blinked open, light nearly blinding me, having me close my eyes as fast. I wanted to just drift away, let sleep take me again but my heart, it beat faster and harder. Something told me to get up, a cert
“ My queen, how is the pain like? What is it like?” I was too far gone to answer. My body pushed up, leaning on my elbows to groan out. I raised my knees, spreading them apart to groan out loud.My eyes flickered open as I heaved and cried all at once, seeing the witch queen fight with the creatures. She killed them one after another so brutally but they were multiplying, giving as good as they took from her. As lethal as she was, they were pouring all they had, their goal to rip her apart and kill her so painfully. They moved with such speed and such skill or maybe I was hallucinating, maybe I was seeing things. They moved so fast it was as if they were buzzing.Another wave of pain washed over my body, my head leaned over.“ I think the baby is pushing out my queen, you need to push,” Isabella said, running all around the bed as if she had no idea what to do. She tripped and fell off the bed with a thud, me heaving hard, the waves of pain just washing one after the other, not even g
More warmth spread over my body and there was no time to panic or fight. My hand held harder with my eyes closing. I thought it would take long, my body panicking hard but as soon as my eyes closed, the plopping sound with the crying souls echoed in the tunnel I stood at.My heart drummed hard with the creature right behind me.“ I need your help.” The words escaped my mouth immediately.“ Take this.” The man said with a hand coming from behind. Teeth had sunk deep on the wrist, blood dripping from the golden glowing skin staring right at me.His fingers were pure black, the rest of his hand and arm golden as if gold highlighter was spread on him. The darkness seemed to have crawled up his fingers over time. His arm was large and strong, veins running up, seen just from the skin. In just one squeeze he could kill me with just his arm. My heart drummed harder, knowing that this could be a trick, another creature wanting to kill my child.I don’t know why even thinking of that sent some
I woke to my waist burning. My body slightly turned from side to side and the people in the room had multiplied, all there to support; some kneeling, some on the bed with others standing. Sweat collected on my forehead, my whole body as if on fire, especially my waist. I did not know what was happening and I was trying to be positive, to be firm but it felt as if my womb was turning upside down.The fear of not knowing what was happening, the pain of thinking your baby is in pain and there is nothing you can do about it.I shifted, trying to relief the pain but nothing worked.“ Can someone please just try to get Vampir here, please.” I begged, not wanting to reveal what I was feeling but my voice was shaking along with my whole body.“ They are out searching for him my queen, they will find him.” Isabella said, me groaning.“ What is happening your majesty?” She asked with me shaking my head.“ Pain.” I whispered out, clenching my teeth.It was bad, turning to my side with it being b
The day passed with us just sitting around wide eyed, staring at the empty blood bag that sat in the dust bin brought from the bathroom. I was happy the tube was out of my body but the worry would kill me. It had been two hours, no one having said a single thing since the very last drop of blood. I felt as if my baby would just die from the lack of blood which he desperately needed. Something was just wrong, having not felt any movement or warmth from him. My hand lay on my belly, rubbing it while silently begging him to please be okay. I felt stupid and useless even thinking about it, just hoping he was okay. Each second I was breathing, I was just using so much energy and I still had not even recovered, feeling so drained, feeling so tired already. I lay back on the bed, my heart running laps in my chest. My love, please come back home, we can revenge later, for now our baby needs you. I kept saying in my head, trying to reach out to him in anyway I could but failing. “ The Quee
My baby. All I needed was for him to just tell me he was okay, that he was fine. I just needed him to say something to me, send his warmth to me so I would be assured he was okay. He was the sweetest and most loving child, after everything, still hanging on, still sending his waves of love. I missed them, I craved them, begging for them, and praying for them but they never came. He was awfully quiet and my worry just hit the roof. My heart drummed hard and the more I told myself to calm down, not wanting to stress the child, the more I panicked.“ Where is he?” The words slipped from my trembling lips. No one replied, the few people in the room just so silent as if having blended with the walls. A voice cleared yet nothing said.“ How long has he been gone?” I asked, eyes still closed with the tears still running out.“ He usually comes after a day to drop off blood but he hasn’t come your highness.” Isabella said with me nodding my head.Why hadn't he came back? What happened? Was h
