Dark Love

Chapter 4

It's been a week since John and I- you know what. Everyone ignores us or only says a few words if we ask them a question. I've stayed in my room the whole time except for going to the bathroom and eating. But even sometimes I have John bring me something upstairs. Why do they care about what John and I do so much? I pull the covers over my shoulders as John walks into the room. He smiled.

" Do you want the blinds shut?" I nod and he twitches his fingers, the blinds drop down and the curtains close. The room turns dark and John flicks his wrist and the small scented candles around the room light with their flame. The smell of sugar cupcakes fill the room.

" Such a girl scent." I laugh and he gets under the blankets with me. I snuggle into his side and he wraps his arms around me. I look around the room.

" You forgot one." I point to a small candle, the only un-lit one on my bookshelf. John smiles and the candle's flame grows. I sigh and lay down on his chest. I hear the door shut downstairs.

" Why do they hate us now?" John looks down at me.

" They don't hate us. They're worried." I look up at him.

" Do they have anything to be worried about?" John looks away at a candle.

" Yes." I move back a little.

"What?" He sighs and runs a hand through his hair, his sleeve moves up and his tattoo peeks out. "They have everything to be worried about Olivia." He looks down at me.

" Goodnight Olivia." I furrow my eyebrows and my eyes flutter closed. 

Abraham stands outside of the cell as I sit curled up in the corner.

" Why am I here? Why me?" Abraham laughs.

" The only reason you are here is for that." He points to my stomach.

" That baby could be the start of  new race. I plan on using it to start one." 

I shoot up in bed and look around the room. The candles are blown out and John is asleep next to me. I quickly get out of the bed and run downstairs. It's impossible! I've read about it a hundred times! Literally! John can't know about this. I run downstaris and into the dining room, where everyone is sitting eating. Macon looks up at me.

" Miss.Durand?" Everyone looks up at the sound of my name. They all look at me.

" Are you okay Liv?"Lena asks. I shake my head.

" I had another dream. This time, I actually found something out." Macon gestures towards the chair in front of him. I shake my head. I begin to pace back and forth.

" Start off by telling us if it's good or bad?" I look up.

" Depends on how you look at it really!" I pick up my red notebook from the chair in the corner and pull the rubber band that holds it closed.

"What was it?" Ethan speaks up.

" You may not believe me because I know it's impossible." Macon looks at me.

" What is Olivia?" I stop pacing.

" I-I'm pr-" Macon stands up and runs over to me. His hand touches my stomach and he closes his eyes. Lena stands up and Ridley follows.

" No. She can't be." Ridley whispers.

" It's impossible." Lena speaks up. Ethan and Link look around confused. Macon quickly pulls his hand away and looks at me with wide eyes.

" It's true. She is carrying a child." My throat tightens.

" SHE WHAT?!" We all look up at John who's standing in the doorway looking as terrified as Link when he saw a vex.
