Chapter 30 - Stolen Child

"Listen" Valka sighs. "All I'm saying is that there's been ColdHeart activity going on, okay? I didn't mean to scare you."

You did...

Hiccup is off doing duties, so I'm stuck at home with Valka. It's not that bad. I'm just not overly thrilled.

"Are the pains reoccurring?" She asks, shifting her weight on the bed, making me move slightly.

She sits by my feet, probably trying to keep me company. But I'd rather much like Hiccup to be here. But he has duties and such.

I asked Valka how she knew we were Wildsouls, and she said she knew from the moment she saw us together. The dates matching up, and the look in our eyes - she knew. But never let on.

Her eyes keep changing colours as well. From Blue - to green. I'm so confused. It's not just the trick of the light. I know it's not.

Right now, I miss Ruthless. It's like there's a gaping hole in my chest, like I don't have  my other half. I haven't transformed in the time she's been gone, and I'm itching to do so. But I'm afraid that if I did, it would hurt the baby.

Which, now, has grown very large. 

God, I feel fat...

"You need rest" Valka finally says as I don't reply, patting my leg before standing. "I've been wanting to go for a flight with Cloudjumper. Clear my head. I promise I won't be long."

She smiles at me, but I don't have the strength to smile back. She leaves swiftly, and for a few moments, there's just silence.

But then I hear his voice.

"I leave for a week or so, and you're already bloody pregnant? Geez, I haven't missed out on much."

I look to the doorway, smiling at who I see. His dark brown hair is pulled back, those blue streaks painted onto his face still present. He grins at me, that cheeky look in his eyes.

Eret.

I laugh, slightly groaning. "Thank gods there's someone sane! Everyone here is so psychotic at the moment." A pause, and I smile. "I missed you. Where have you been?"

"Heather" he says, and I raise an eyebrow. He raises his hands. "It's not what you think. We've been heading around, looking for some information. She'll be here soon."

I pull myself up into a seating position, groaning as my muscles are stiff. "You're not freaked by the fact that I'm pregnant?"

He shakes his head. "No. I know all about Wildsoul Pregnancies. Sucks to be a woman."

I snort.

He sits down beside me, smiling in a way I know he shouldn't. There's that look in his eye, that sparkle that I can't put my finger on. I want to ask him so many questions, but I don't have much energy or strength to really get into a conversation with him. I feel drained because of this baby. And I don't know what to do.

"Hey" he says, and I turn to him. "I'm here, yeah? I haven't seen you in a while, but I'll just sit here and keep you company if you want."

I smile, giving him a thankful look. He just smiles, and I shift my weight so I lay back down, sighing as I feel relaxed. Eret looks like he has much to say, but I'm glad that he does say nothing.

I just want silence. And sleep. A lot of sleep.
