It all happened so fast.
" What are you doing guys ?!" A rebel guard shouted to the two men in front of me " Get her in a hiding room. Now ! We can't let them find her !"
The two guards looked at each other before turning toward me.
They took me by the arms, pretty violently, and pulled me out of the white room.
" Let go of me !" I shouted " What are you doing ? I won't follow you !"
" Yes you will." The first man said " Because if you don't you are going to get really hurt." He warned
My eyes grew wide open. "You need me... you can't kill me." I told him.
" Who said we were going to kill you ? Pain isn't death." The guard spit back.
My heart started beating faster.
The guards kept pulling me in the hallway.
" Where are you taking me ?" I asked them, out of breath
" Somewhere where they can't find you." The second guard answered
I kept my mouth shut.
The Royal guards were in the palace, trying to find and save me.
Maybe Aspen was one of them.
It was my only chance to get out of this place.
I had to run from these two rebel guards...
But how ?
I was an eight months and a half pregnant woman, who had been poorly fed for almost two weeks, and who didn't get a good night of sleep in ages.
I was exhausted... and scared.
As we kept walking, I was trying to think of a way to escape from them, and find the Royal guards.
Even if I managed to beat one down, there will always be another one... and I don't doubt in women capacities but... one pregnant woman against two well trained soldiers.... I would need a miracle.
I couldn't let them keep me prisoner again, waiting for the Royal guards to go because they haven't found me.
But if Ahren was the reason they were here, they must know I am here.
Maybe I could pretend to be hurt or that I am giving birth ?
I bet these two don't know anything about breaking your water and contractions.
I guess I could try.
" Ah !" I screamed, pretending to be hurting.
The guards stopped pulling me and they both looked at me.
" I- I think" I started.
I wasn't an actrice, and I don't think I could ever be one.
But it was now or never, I needed this distraction so... maybe I could really think about it, like if it was happening right now.
Because, I don't need to hide this from myself : soon I will be able to count the days left with my ten fingers.
" I think I am going to give birth." I let out, as another fall scream of pain got out of my mouth.
The two guards looked at each other and then at my belly, with panicked expression.
" What do you want us to do ?" The first man said, not really asking for my opinion, but just asking himself the question.
" Take me to the hospital !" I screamed
" We are not going to take you to the hospital, the HQ is full of Royal guards ! Are you insane ?!" The second guard shouted
" Well, are you going to let me give birth on the floor then ? Because I can't do it on my own, and you still need me and the children." I begun.
I hated saying this.
I won't ever let them hurt my children.
" Do you even know how a delivery goes ?" I asked them, still pretend to feel contactions. " I am going to tell you, you idiots : there is blood everywhere." I lied " And I don't stop bleeding for a good hour. The babies will be covered in blood too. And you will need to pull them, when I push because I can't do it on my own." I continued " and the blood is different from the one which comes from wounds : this one is toxic for the skin if you don't take it off after ten minutes."
