The windows ledge became my new normal as I stared into the darkness, my stomach growing more as it's been a month since finding out about my life and the one growing inside of me. I sat in my black silk pajama pants and fitted long sleeve shirt. My hand on what would look like a 6 month pregnant belly for a human, the baby moving around making me feel sick and walking to the bathroom.
I stared in the mirror, my skin paler and face slightly thinner, all of this from not being able to keep anything down and not sleeping. Everyone left me alone as I was no longer the Lords "doll". Victoria gladly took that roll and that made me feel worse. My feet carried me slowly down the hall and into the kitchen where everyone sat.
"Here love, take my seat" Valek standing and pulling his chair out for me. A giddy Victoria flaunting in on Alexander's arm.
"I see the house whore has shown her face" a protective hiss and stance coming from Valek as he stood near me as I touched his arm and stood up, everyone dropping their conversation and watching. My eyes gazing between the two of them, my lord and his new love.
"Should have left you on the street where you belong" a small smirk coming from me at her comment until she slapped me. My hand wrapped around her throat and I held her in the air. Valek and Alexander rushing over to pull me off of her as she flailed against the wall.
"Such a pretty face with such an ugly heart. Let's make them match" my nail cutting down her cheek as she screeched the cut settling into a burned line until I felt someone pull me away from her. The taste of blood in my mouth as I licked the corner of my lip. Valeks arms wrapped around me as Xander went after him for lord knows what reason.
"Mine!" He hissed out attacking his brother, the other vampires rushing to break them up before someone died. I didn't waste my time as I walked back over to a sunken on the ground Victoria and spat at her, my blood splattering on her face as she cried. A sharp pain hitting my abdomen making me gasp and hunch over.
"Hailey!" Someone yelled as my vision blurred, a hand on my head and one on my stomach as someone tried helping hold me up.
"Get her to the couch" I was involuntarily dragged to the couch to lay down while the pain passed.
"You need to relax some"
"You don't tell me what to do" I spat back.
"Don't act like you give a shit what happens to me or this baby. Why don't you do yourself a favor knock up that whore over there so you can live a normal life. She's more important to you anyway" The burning sensation coming back as I tried to breathe through it.
"I do care what happens so don't start with your shit" Xanders hand finding my stomach and the pain instantly stopping, little kicks fluttering at his voice.
"Could've fooled me" sitting up slowly I stood to my feet and walked over to Valek who looked slightly rough.
"You good?" I asked as he nodded with a laugh. A small laugh that was contagious and made me catch it.
"You're asking me if I'm fine but love, you look like hell, blood on your mouth too" my thumb finding it to wipe it away.
"Yeah I guess roles should be reversed" I chuckled out helping him up from the chair.
"The only immortal I know who bleeds and still has the right mind to put someone else first."
"Don't get me wrong I can go back to being selfish if you want"
"No no, that's ok" he responded as I heard steps behind me.
"So what are you two best friends now?" He was fuming again.
"Am I not allowed to have friends 'doll'? Or is that only reserved for you?" I spat at him as his poor brother looked between the both of us.
"Do what you want" he finally gave in
"I planned on it." I shot back before walking away and up the steps. I felt like shit but I was about to do what I wanted as I slid into a short black body con dress and applied my make up, my hair long and lightly curled with winged liner and a dark red matte lip. Laying an oversized leather jacket over my shoulders I slipped into my black red bottom heels and my way down the staircase.
"Wait woah where are you going?" Xander trying to stop me as I grabbed the car keys.
"To do what I want, now stay" him not moving as I closed the door and hopped in the car, the engine roaring to life while I pulled from the gated driveway.
Oh the taste of freedom, something I haven't experienced in awhile, pregnant or not I was going out. Louise Vuitton, Gucci, I made the decisions and the purchases. A new found power emulated from me and as I walked down the street people moved to the side.
Finding myself at a restaurant, I sat on the roof top sipping a glass of blood red wine, and looking out over the water. It was silent as the waiter was off to the side until I needed something.
"You can come out now" I spoke out without moving.
"How did you know we were here?" Valek asked first and I scoffed.
"Please, I knew you were tailing me within 2 minutes of leaving the property. Let's see you were 5 cars back in the SUV on the highway and kept a 20 foot distance as I went shopping."
"Oh! Before I forget. Thanks for the shopping spree" tossing Alexander's black card over to him as he seemed confused and I sat my glass down with a hand on my bump.
"I didn't give you this-"
"I know you didn't. I took it. Just like how I took the car, and your wallet and now this car and this card of yours."
"You've done this before?" Valek interjected curiously.
"Yes..." Xander sternly stated as I smiled.
"Yeahhhhh that's why he doesn't have that Lamborghini anymore. That shit got sold off in a back alley garage in Vegas" I laughed out.
"When the hell were you in Vegas?!" He asked
"We weren't. I took his car and wallet, left his crazy ass on the side of the road and hightailed it to Vegas after he tried to kidnap me"
"I didn't kidnap you, I purchased you there's a difference" he defended myself.
"A look what that led to buddy" me pointing at my stomach as he rolled his eyes.
"Ok, so let me get this straight. You were a call her, that got sold because you murdered people then when this bloody fool purchased you you committed grand theft auto then sold off the evidence" Valek retorted as I nodded.
"Yes, exactly like that" I replied as I stood up and yawned tossing the keys to Valek.
"Take me home, I'm too tired now to drive" my heels clicking down the concrete as I slid into the black Mercedes passenger seat and instantly fell asleep once the engine started.
