Revenge, and A Little Bit More

Chapter Thirty Six: The Calm Before The Storm

Lilith was laughing hysterically as her family members looked at her, not sure if they should laugh with her, or run away. The bent stainless steel fork Lilith was gripping, was thrown across the room, landing in front of an extremely nervous maiden.

"Ha! Good one Amy! You funny girl!" she cackled, clutching her stomach.

"I told you, darling. I told you we should have thought about how we were going to tell her. Look at her! She's lost her mind!" Karl whispered in Amy's ear, visibly freaking out.

"We didn't tell her anything, now did we?!" she snapped at him. Lilith's laughs became more and more panicked, seeing that Amy was, in fact, not joking. She grabbed Alcina's shoulder, as her breathing got shallow and her body began to quiver. She clutched at her heart, like she was having a heart attack.

"Lilith? My love?" Alcina called before glancing concerned at the others. Grace was hiding behind Cassandra, both unsure what to do. Donna was clutching Bela's arm, giggling softly when she saw the maidens run away. Lily and Daniela, like the maniacs they are, were laughing excitedly, hoping for some excitement. From deep within Lilith's chest came a low grumble, followed by a pained moan. She glanced fearfully at her family, before running for the door. As she was running, her bones started snapping. She stopped at the door and glared back at them over her shoulder.

"Nobody follow me." she hissed before disappearing, tears running down her cheek. Alcina walked after her, considering following her, but decided to respect her wishes. She turned back and glared at Amy and Karl, waiting for them to speak. When they said nothing, the countess huffed before speaking.

"I am happy for you. Happy to hear that you are pregnant. Truly. But both of you handled that totally wrong. And don't blame her for mutating, she cannot help it. Her emotions are uncontrollable. What were you thinking?" she said with a scowl.

"We know, Lady Alcina. I should have kept quiet so we could figure it out. I am so sorry." Amy frowned sadly.

"Yeah... We should have. You're right." Karl sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.

"No matter. Talk to me. Did you plan on getting pregnant?" Alcina asked, before realizing the others are still there. She waved her hand, indicating to them to give them privacy. Daniela and Lily looked disappointed, pouting as they left the room, followed by the others.

"No, we didn't plan it. I didn't even think that it was possible for me to get pregnant. Especially for someone my age? I mean, immortality must come with a price?" Amy was now the one panicking, grabbing at Karl. He quickly took her hand, wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

"Calm down, sweetie. You're ok." Karl cooed, but it didn't seem to work. Alcina sat next to Amy on the other side, taking her other hand.

"Calm? Calm down?! How the fuck am I supposed to do that?!" she yelled.

"It's alright, my dear. We'll figure this out." Alcina rubbed the back of her hand.

"But, but, h-how do we know what the b-baby will be like?! I mean, you're basically mold with metal bending abilities... And, and me, I, I'm a witch that can shape shift into a wolf who also happens to be mold!" she yelled, now having a full blown panic attack. She jumped up and started pacing up and down.

"Amy, calm down." Alcina reached out to her.

"And, and now my m-mom is mad at me and I need, I need her help and..." she choked on her words.

"Sweetie, please. If you're going to freak out, I'm going to start freaking out, please-" he nearly screamed as Lilith's figure was illuminated by a flash of lightning, standing in the doorway of the lounge.
