Heimerdinger had a stethescope on Jinx's stomach while she rested on her bed. Once he pulled the tool away, she sat up. "Say that I'm not." she said quietly. He put the stethescope down and simply looked up at her. Her eyes widened before she sat up, hitting her mattress. "No!" She shouted. "I can't! I don't want to!" She said, grabbing Heimerdingers arm and pulling him so close he was only mere inches away from her face. "Take it away. I don't want it." She said, her eyes filled with fury. Heimerdinger looked between each of her bright pink eyes with fear that he concealed. "This could be a good thing." He said, Jinx's eyes meeting his.
"What?" She said, voice low in anger. "How could this be a good thing?"
"Well, they may postpone your execution, giving us time to rescue you." He responded, pulling his arm away before she could make a bruise.

"I am not waiting nine months in a cell." She frowned. "We're saving him. And whether you want me to or not, you bet your ass I'm coming with you."

"With all due respect, Your Majesty-"
"Don't call me that. I'm not a princess. I'm a future empress." She frowned.
Heimerdinger sighed and nodded. "With all due respect, Princess Jinx, you are 4 months pregnant. You would not have to wait nine months, at most you'd have to wait six."

"I'm not waiting a week for you to rescue me! We are rescuing him and that is that. End of discussion." She glared, blowing the hair out of her face. Heimerdinger nodded and turned to leave. "I'll tell the Generals of your expectancy and your plan to rescue Ekko. Congratulations, miss Jinx." He said, then left.

Jinx looked at her guard. "Is he stupid? 'Congratulations'? Does he think I want this? I thought I made it pretty clear that I don't want this." She asked, mostly rhetorically. However, the guard spoke anyway.

"He might have said it out of respect, ma'am."

"Don't call me ma'am! I'm not some old hag. You know what? Get out of my sight. Or else I'll make an example of you to the Pilties." She glared. The guard heeded her warning, quickly leaving the room. Now Jinx was alone. Alone in her thoughts and alone in her heart. For once, the silence didn't calm her.
'maybe you should just kill them all!' Mylo's voice rang. she shook her head. "I can't. I can't." She said quietly, shakily. 'None of this would've happened if you weren't such a jinx!' He retorted. 'Better to erase the memory, yes? Get rid of everyone who knew Powder. Don't let them see you vulnerable. Be the monster. Be what they fear.' A new voice. Silco.
"I am what they fear! I won the war! I killed most of the Council! I won the bridge fight! Im not a monster! I'm not, I'm not!" She screamed at the figures, angry tears falling from her eyes. Tears that burned her cheeks when they fell.
'Be the Jinx I built! The daughter I created!' Silcos voice shouted back.
Jinx shook her head, curling into a ball on her bed.
'Because you're a jinx!'
'Twice the person at half her age.'
'I never would've given you to them. Not for anything.'
The voices repeated and repeated.
"Go away.. it wasn't my fault.." she pleaded quietly. And in time, it all went dark.
