Underworld Secrets

5.

Flashback:
"Macalah I know your watching come out." I giggled.
"Come on Dark how'd you know I was there?" My best friend that was more like a sister stepped out from behind a tree.
"Marrying the monster under the bed that's how." She rolled her eyes
And sat next to me on the ground next to the small stream.
"How can I forget? Hey do you think you'll have kids? I want to be an aunt." Her dark skin complimented by the deep red shirt and tan ridding pants.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about." I looked to see her dark eyes focused on me excited. "I'm pregnant." Her eyes went big and she kept forward crushing me in a hug.
"I knew it!" I looked at her confused.
"How'd you know?" She smiled wide.
"It's obvious. How does he feel? He wants to be a father right?" She asked taking my hands.
"He does and is excited. I wanted to wait till I had the child to know what it was but my magic already told me." I let my eyes wonder around the scenery.
"That's good! What is it have you thought of a name?" Her hair braided in a long French braid with assorted beads glimmered in the light.
"A boy. I was thinking somewhere around James." I smiled. That's when I noticed that her eyes where distant.
"What's wrong?" I asked concerned.
"She's died." I heard a voice from behind her in a tree. I looked up to see a big grey and blue cat with a huge menacing grin plastered on its face. It's eyes a brilliant turquoise.
"Who are you?" He fell from the tree disappearing and reappearing next to me.
"You already know who I am Dark." I snapped my attention to Macalah. She slumped forward.
"Who did this!?" I yelled.
"You need to calm down and it will tell you." That's when I noticed a pitch black substance oozing out the back of her head.
"MAN!!!!!!" I screamed.
"Hello my wi- oh what happened here?" He asked with a smile.
"You know damn well what happened! Why?" My voice horace.
"We don't need the help of a mer mortal raising our child." He snapped. The cat sat their watching amused.
"Cheshire go away." I commanded and sent him back to the deep woods of wonderland.
"I still don't see what you see in this mortal." He asked jumping from the tree with grace. His black suit not once wrinkling his perfect handsome figure.
"She was my friend. What do you see in me if I'm a mer mortal?" I challenged caressing her head.
"Your not a mer mortal you have magic." He sat next to me as I cried over my dead friend. My blonde hair fell against my face as my blue eyes showed my pain.
"I don't care I want my friend." I cried. I waved his hand over her body and she disappeared.
"Now come with me we have to prepare." He grabbed my hand and stood me up. I followed my light green dress moving along the grass. We walked to the Heart Garden.
"What are we doing here?" I asked.
"We are here to show you why you never knew your mother." We walked in the garden unnoticed by anyone.
We walked into the castle where the Queen of Hearts was sitting on her throne with a mask over her head whispering to her husband.
"Cora how nice to see you." He boasted. My head was swimming. My friend died. I'm pregnant, and we are standing in front of the Queen of Hearts.
"Leave me everyone!" She shouted. Everyone including her pathetic King left in a hurry.
"Oh so one woke up on the wrong side of the bed." He stated with a small laugh.
"Man. I didn't expect you to be here with a girl." She eyed me suspiciously.
"This is my wife. Pitch Black." He smiled at me." I was still angry at him for what he did to my friend. My sister. The only one I had from my child hood. Well what I could get with out having to run every time something went wrong.
"Wife? Didn't put you in the position to be a married man." She said with an evil smile.
"Yes now Cora you owe me and I'm not leaving without it." He threatened his smile not once faltering.
"You may have it and be on your way." She said calmly but I knew she was nervous.
He nodded and wiped up a drink and side sofa sitting down with me in front of him. He took a sip of his dark drink and waited. I smelt the breath of a dragon and melting medal.
"A dragon?" I asked wiping up my own drink and bring my legs onto the couch. If he won't let me mourn the death of my friend I'll drink it away. Being pregnant I put a protective spell on him.
"Yes a gift to you and the baby." He whispered. The flat cards came out dragging a large black and blue dragon out. It was small compared to those I've seen. When the dragon came in it stopped and stared in my soul. It's yellow and purple eyes flew with magic.
I used my magic and read it's mind.
'Dark Help me! It's me Macalah!'
'Your alive?' 'Yes he swapped my body with the died dragon!' I stood up beckoning to the cards to let her free. She huffed and laid down her head so I could be at the same level with her.
"Why is she a dragon?" I spit.
"Dear let's take her home." He snapped and we where in the big metal room.

"Answer me Man why is she a fucking dragon?" I slammed my hands on the desk he had his feet propped up on.
"Because. She's more useful this way." He pointed out wiping up another drink.
"Who asked you? Not me?" I threw my hands up and went to the dragon curled up in a ball in the corner.
"Speak."  Macalah's head swooped up and she opened her jaw.
"Testing. Wow even as a dragon I sound good." I saw her sparks.
"Calm down you'll set something on fire." I sighed sitting on the ground.

After a couple weeks my bump was big.
"Agh." I clutched my stomach. The baby was magical and it grew to fast for me to keep up with.
"Come we will lay you down." Man said leading me over to a side Sofa. I propped up against the rest sweating. I started doing the breathing exercises I had learned to do.
A couple hours later  was screaming bloody murder. It echoed all through the house. I heard a roar because she heard.
"He's coming!" I growled.
"I know I know!" He said holding my head. "Now you need to push." He wiped his hand between my legs and it hurt less. Not much but less. I pushed and felt numb down there till I screamed so loud that Macalah yelled my name.
"Is he here?" I asked out of breath. He had a smile on his face as he fixed his black button shirt. He took a tan towel and wiped off something. I closed my eyes waiting for him to reply.
"Here is James Man Dark." He set the small red blanketed bundle in my arms. I moved it from his face and peered down at my child. I then felt a wet cloth against my legs and area. I looked to see Man cleaning me up.
"He's beautiful." I panted. When he was done he put a thin blanket over my legs. He sat next to me and wrapped his arms around me. I smiled and watched as magic painted our family portrait. 
When the baby was put his crib I sat on a chair.
When I heard a deep scream come from the metal room I jumped up and ran to the room going right through the doors.
"What?" I looked to see Man on the ground and the dragon in a corner scared.
"Dark you need to kill me." He begged.
"What? No your my husband I and the child need you." I needed next to him. His eyes going black. Even the white.
"If you don't I will hurt you.....please.....take this and stick it in my heart." He handed me a black metal and wood wand. I was crying. Despite everything he's done and to me I loved him.
"I can't!" I screamed through the tears." He put it in my hand and grasped my hand.
"Yes you can." I shook my head. His grip on my hand turned unbearable.
"Man please!" I tried wiggling free but his face started outlining with maroon veins. He stood up and pined me to the ground.
"Shut up!!" He yelled. I pulled the wand up right below him crying and trying to breath.
"Please!" I whispered. Before shutting my eyes and pushing the wand all the way in till my hand was the only thing on his chest. His angry eyes turned white and he turned to black dust.
I cried on the floor till I saw that Macalah was a pile of dust as well.
I shot up off the floor and ran to the baby's room. I bursted through the door to see another pile of dust. I fell to the ground and cried.
Family is for the weak. I don't deserve family.
