Dark and Twisted

Chapter Eleven

"You have all come a long way these past two months. I'm proud of you all. We have one week until the new moon is at a peak, which is when Alec and Quinn will try to complete the next step to bringing Fletch back. We can't let that happen. Remember, when it comes down to it, don't let feelings get in the way of what you have to do. Our job is to protect and that is what we will do, no matter the cost." I stared at my misfits, my family as I tried to prepare them for what was to come.

"Kymber, it's all you now." I nodded at Kymber as I handed the attention over to her.

I walked to my room and shut the door. I felt sick.

"It's just my nerves." I said, knowing I would have to see him in a week's time.

I haven't seen him since he belittled me in front of everyone. Since he tore me down and laughed at my pain. I ran to the bathroom as I felt my stomach turn, gripping the side of the toilet as I started to vomit. I could feel my chest burn as I tried to gasp for air.

'What is wrong with me?!' I thought as I became worried.

I have fought many battles before and never got sick.

"Holy fuck." I whispered with worry remembering the night Alec and I had.

"Eves, you, okay?" I could hear Kymber at my door.

"Yeah, I'm great, just my nerves I guess." I replied to keep her from opening the door and seeing me on the floor gripping the toilet.

I pulled myself off the bathroom floor, looking into the mirror. I reached for the rag on the counter. Wiping my mouth, I let my thoughts run wild.

I can't be... there's no way... Dark and light can't mix. It's impossible.

"Kymber, you need to be training the others." I said through the bathroom door as I could still hear here in my room.

"If you need anything, you know you can come to me, even if it's just to talk." She said I heard her finally leave my room.

I quietly opened the door, walking into my room. I sat on the bed and placed my hand over my stomach.

"Focus..." I said to myself, trying to clear my mind.

I could feel it... a heartbeat that wasn't mine. I could feel it pulse through my mind, focusing all of my energy on it. I opened my eyes, not knowing how I should feel.

"I'm pregnant..." the words coming out of my mouth seemed to echo in my mind.

All of a sudden, I could feel everything come back to me. The anger disappeared and now all I could feel was fear. I placed my head on my palms and closed my eyes, living through that night all over again. I could feel him touching me and laying me down on my bed. I shook my head as the tears began to flow down my arm, falling from my eyes. I could feel his kiss on my neck, his breath on my skin, and his voice in my ear.

"Stop!" I yelled as I was overwhelmed with emotions.

Liz, Danielle, Aleena, and Kymber busted through my bedroom door.

"What's wrong!?" They all yelled staring at me expecting to see an intruder in the room with me.

"Everlynn, are you feeling, okay?" Liz asked as she sat next to me on the bed.

"I'm fine. I Just had a bad dream." I looked up at Kymber hoping she would believe my lie.

"Are you sure that's it?" Kymber looked at me as if she already knew the truth.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Shouldn't you all be training or something?" I asked, annoyed.

"I mean we were, but we heard you yell and thought you were in some type of trouble." Danielle replied to my question.
