Unexpected Royal Repeat

Chapter 26: Sea of Blue

Clarissa's POV
(A week later...)

Why threaten someone if you weren't actually going to come? I sat in my bedroom pondering that question constantly.

After Lucas's so called threat every line of defense was doubled. My maids were even increased.

"Miss Clarissa, what's it like being pregnant?" One of my maids asked while she sewed maternity clothing.

"It's a gift almost but with pain. It's very interesting to have a life inside of you, not to mention two at once. I swear sometimes I can feel them fighting" I laughed.

The young maid giggled, "I cannot wait to start a family."

Quickly spinning to face her I held her gaze, "yes you can wait, believe me I am grateful for these baby girls of mine but please tell me you will wait until life says it's good to go?"

She nodded her head earning glances from the other young girls in the room.

"Well ladies I am ready to take my afternoon nap so if you would excuse me" I said causing them to all scurry out of the room.

A guard poked his head in and said," miss I am just outside if you need me."

"Thank you" I smiled and laid down.

Letting myself sink into the comfortable bed my eyes became heavy and I slipped away.

I awoke to smoke and fire surrounding my room. Sirens rang like mad and a single person was not in sight. Suddenly a figure appeared in the middle of the fire slowly walking through.

"Midnight didn't I tell you that I would come? Why would you doubt me love?" Lucas asked.

"You monster! Go away! You killed my baby boy and you will never harm my girls!" I screamed while reaching down to my stomach.

My hand pressed onto my flat stomach into wet liquid. Flat stomach?

I looked down to find my stomach had been cut open and blood covered my shirt.

Little screams filled the air and as I glanced up Lucas held my two baby girls.

"You were saying?" He snickered.

"No please!" I screeched.

"Do not worry, you won't miss them after you have our children" he laughed harshly.

"Lucas no don't!" I begged but it was too late.

He lifted his arms tossing my children into the fire.

My children screamed bloody murder as I watched them burn.

"Now it's just you and I Midnight" he smiled walking over to the bed.

"No no!" I thrashed in the sheets.

I jumped up greedily taking all the air I could get. My heart pounded faster than I knew it could.

"Just a dream" I whispered to myself.

Getting up I saw the sun had disappeared and the moon had taken over.

Making my way to the bathroom I got ready for bed and put on a nightgown.

As I walked back to my bed Dexter sat on the edge.

"Hey" I waved.

"Hey beautiful" he grinned.

"What's up?" I questioned feeling more tired than ever from that nightmare.

"Just wanted to check up on you it has been busy guarding lately."

"Yeah I know" I shrugged earning a kick from one of the girls.

Hunching over gripped my belly and took in a deep breath.

"Riss? Are you ok?" He asked while placing a hand on my back.

"Yeah they are just being little ninjas" I fake smiled trying to ignore the pain.

I laid back onto my pillow and Dexter laid on the one next to me.

"Can I feel them kicking?" Dexter asked.

"Of course" I nodded while grabbing his and and resting it on my belly.

Both babies starting dancing in my stomach causing me loads of pain.

"Here let me help" Dexter offered while rubbing areas of my stomach.

"Thank you" I smiled while slowly falling asleep.

"Always Riss."

I was truly happy with my little imperfect family and that's all I could of wished.

With Dexter humming a light tune my body relaxed and my eyes shut once again.

I jumped awake when someone's hand clapped down over my mouth.

Looking up at my attacker the person was lit up from the outside lights, yet black was all the person wore. Struggling under the intruders grasp I watched for any sign of recognition.

The attacker turned to grab me better and in that moment the moonlight cause into his eyes.

A sea of blue reflected back into my eyes and I shrieked in fear, Lucas was back and this time it wasn't a dream.
