Back to you in every lifetime (Vegaspete Ff)

Chapter 66

Pete's POV

Pain is the only thing I can feel.

An involuntary whimper leaves my lips and I try to shift a little.

A soft hand rests on my forehead and a gentle shrill voice says "Child don't move too suddenly"

My eyes snap open.

"R-Romia?" I stutter out.

She gives me a rather sad smile and nods her head.

"Asa!" Phi's loud voice startles me and my neck snap in his direction.

He rushes towards me and was about to hug me but stops at the last moment, his hands hanging mid air.

Phi's expression at first looks pained but then he schools his face and gives me a very non-convincing smile.

"How are you feeling?" He whispers, finally deciding to pat my hair instead.

I try to push myself into a sitting position but wince as pain shoots up my whole body.

Phi and Romia immediately rushes to help me and manage to make me sit, by suppose my back on a pillow, making sure to give as less pressure as possible on my back.

I am still dazed as to what has happened to me when I look down at my wrists and see the chain marks on it.

Suddenly everything that has happened before I lost my consciousness rushed back to me.

My eyes widen "C-Cyneric?" I hear myself whisper in a scratchy and raspy voice.

Phi's face immediately hardens and Romia just brings a glass of water close to my lips so I can take a sip of water.

I gratefully drown the water.

"Asa we are leaving" Phi's serious voice catches me off-guard.

Phi rarely gets serious, the last time he seemed this serious was when I almost broke my arm as a child while running in the garden with my eyes closed.

"B-but where will we go?" I ask gulping hard.

"The world is huge, we can go anywhere we want to. I will figure something out" Phi says, his eyes hard.

"B-but Phi we can't!" I say, panic clawing up my throat.

"Why can't we? Didn't you see what they did to you? Do you seriously still wish to stay here? You are clearly in danger here!" Phi says, his voice and eyes hard, barely leaving any room for argument.

"B-but Phi I can't leave" I say in a small voice, somehow trying to make him understand my situation.

"And I am asking why can't you?" Phi asks, anger evident in his eyes.

Phi rarely gets angry so it kind of scares me when he does.

"B-because Phi I am pregnant with Cyneric's baby" I whisper out and my voice breaks drastically in the middle of the sentence.

Phi clenches his jaw and his nostrils flare but except than that he doesn't give any reaction.

No surprise as I was expecting, he just looks angry.

Did he already know?

"I know" Phi gritts out.

I wince at that, he knows? Did Romia tell him?

"I know you are pregnant, but do you know that even your child is in a danger here?" Phi spits out and my eyes widen.

I look at Romia only to see that she is looking at me with sad eyes.

"Lars is right Asa, t-the beatings weren't really gentle, and may have affected the child, thankfully nothing drastic happened, but you are in more fragile and danger condition now, you will have to take great care of yourself or..." Romia trails off at the end of the sentence but I can clearly sense what she was insinuating.

Tears well up in my eyes.

Is my baby really in danger because of me? Because I couldn't save them?

A sob leaves my mouth and I quickly pull my knees to my chest.

Everything in my life is falling down, what did I do to receive this fate?

'You want something way out of your class' an ugly voice in my head says making me sob even harder.

Was I so wrong for wanting to be happy?

I feel Phi'd hand on my shoulder but I can barely register it.

The pain in the body has become a dull throb, the pain in my chest being much stronger than it.

After sometime I hear the door of my room open.

"Angel" my neck snaps up at the name Cyneric usually uses to calm down my anger.

Phi's hand leaves my shoulder and he stands before my bed, Phi's figure separating Cyneric from me.

"My lord why are you here?" Phi says, venom dripping from from his voice.

"Lars please don't do this I need to see Asa-" Cyneric says in an almost pleading voice.

"Haven't you done enough?" Phi almost screams at Cyneric and my heart breaks a little when I see the hopeless and helpless expression on Cyneric's face.

"Phi please" I also need to talk to Cyneric and tell him about his baby.

Phi looks at me, clearly ready to argue but I plead again, this time fresh tears fill my eyes and before I know it I am crying again.

Phi though really looks like he doesn't want to, he lets me be alone with Cyneric, grudgingly leaving my room.

Cyneric is looking down once Phi leaves.

"Cyneric" I croak out and his head snaps up.

I spread my arms and he quickly shuffles into them.

He crushes me to his body and an involuntary wince leaves my mouth.

Cyneric's hold starts loosing on my body, panicking I latch onto him.

I say something about needing him and beg him to hold me, not even fully conscious about my words myself.

Cyneric asks me if I am too hurt and that wretches a sob out of my throat.

'Yes I am. I am hurt and terrified of losing my everything, from losing you, from losing our baby' I almost say outloud but all that leaves my mouth are sobs.

I pull away one of my hands and put it one my stomach hoping Cyneric will somehow get the hint.

But he doesn't he instead places his hand over mine and asks if I am hurt here.

"Cyneric I am p-" I am about to tell him the truth when someone thumps on my room's door.

Cyneric pulls away from me and goes to see who it is.

I grit my teeth preparing myself to atlast spit out the truth to him.

But when Cyneric re-enters my room he looks like he has aged 10 more ears.

His eyes wide and his skin pale.

"Asa you will have to leave" Cyneric whispers.
