Saved by the Bad Boy

Chapter 19

For the next week Morgan comes over a lot and I get to know both of them really well. They are super nice and make sure to not bring up my past.

"Okay, your turn." You're playing uno and Morgan's kids are being babysat at the moment, well except for her smallest, Lyla. She crawls over to me and I pick her up and set her in my lap, even though it's kind of hard with my belly. She give me a huge grin and I tap her nose. I look at the card in the middle of the table, a yellow 5 I look at my cards and put down a yellow draw two.

"Aw, come on, I had one card left!" Morgan groans and takes two cards. I laugh.

"That's how you win."

"That's also how you lose friends." She teases. We laugh and talk about upcoming events.

"Are you guys busy Friday night?" I ask. Morgan shakes her head.

"No, but my babysitter might be getting tired of me always asking her to babysit. I'll just pay her extra." I turn to Connie who looks nervous.

"Sorry, I can't." I shrug.

"That's okay. What are you doing?" She looks down and mutters, "I'm going on a date." I squel and Morgan gasps.

"Seriously?" She nods, "That's great! You need a good man in your life. Why didn't you tell us before?" She shakes her head.

"I didn't want to bring it up due to your past. You need someone more than I do." I sigh and shake my head.

"I'm fine, besides, I have you guys. I don't need a man." They laugh and Lyla claps her hands, "Besides I need to give everything to the new member of my family." I say putting a hand on my staumach.

"Speaking of, have you gone to the doctor's." I redden with embarrassment, and while trying to push my feelings away, a cold look guarding my eyes.

"No." I mumble.

"Why? They're not going to hurt you." Tears burn my eyes and I stand up.

"I need to go for a walk." I open the door and don't bother to put on shoes. I walk out into the snow and take a deep breath of the cold air. I breath deeply, filling my lungs. Tears start and my thoughts are like a flood. My feelings start taking over again. And I try to push it away. Ugh! I hate being weak like this! I chuck an ice ball at a nearby tree. I don't want to go to the doctor's because...I imagined going there with Einar. Even his name makes me sob, I hate doing this I hate it so much. I hate him! U hate what he's done to me! I swear if he ever comes back I'm going to kill him! And I won't regret it. I won't cry over deaths anymore, I'm beyond angry. But my anger can only last so long. Soon the anger and revenge will be lost in the flood of guilt, loss and loneliness. I look up to notice for the first time a black truck behind me, the windows tinted so I can't see anything. I bite my lip, they're not going to get me. I try to jump into a nearby lawn and hide behind a tree but only succeed in falling flat on my face. I moan in pain and touch my stumach.

"I'm sorry." I whisper. I get up to see that the car has come closer. If they think I'm dumb then they're wrong. Well considering I just tripped due to my belly I might be. But I have enough anger to be a real threat. I step in front of the van on the street, I move my fingers and the van starts to back up. I smile and blow, the ice builds and freezes the car in place. I walk slowly towards it and I watch as the doors shake trying to get out. I blow again and the air chills and ice pellets start to rain around me. They start to get huge and I move my hands around my trapping both of us it a blizzard. Their windows shatter and I smile at their tarrified faces. They scream as I point both of my hands at them and ice covers them. My smile fades as the blizzard stops and I see my handy work. I inhale sharply and bite my lip trying to stay strong but the anger and rage wears off and I find myself wanting to break down and cry again. It's just hormones with the pregnancy I tell myself. I turn my head to find Connie and Morgan staring from the porch. Their mouths hang open and I quickly turn and walk down the sidewalk. I walk quickly and turn the corner not wanting them to follow. I try not to dwell on the death I just caused but decide that they deserved it. I sigh as I walk down the path. How could this happen? Things are getting way too much. I don't want to do this anymore. No, I have to be here for my baby. It needs me, but I can't help when tears once again come. I bite my lip hard. I wish I never stopped myself when I tried to kill myself. I wish I let my father kill me, I wish I wasn't here. But sadly, here I am, stuck once again in a situation where there seems to be no escape. I sigh, putting a hand on my stumach, maybe it'll be different once I have the baby, maybe life will be better. I just want to give him everything. I stop when I hear a click. Like a clock, small and barely heard but I still hear it and everything tells me that something isn't right. I turn and scream as flames surround me, not touching me but surrounding me. I realize that it's flamethrowers. And the flames are surrounding me in a square. The holders of these guns are smiling at me creepily. I glare at them and clench my fists. Ice grows and one moves the flames closer and I cry in agony as the flames burn my skin, the ice quickly fleeing. I fall to my knees.

"No! Stop! Don't touch her! STOP!" The fire moves off my skin and to my side where I still feel it's heat. I look up to see just the person I wanted to see, Einar comes running from me, from behind a tree and stops on one side of me, where a black van is on my other side. I glare at him and turn my head towards the van at a familiar voice.

"Well, look at that to birds with one stone. Two love birds at that too." I see leader coming from the van and more vans pull up next to the other van. I glare at him.

"We are far from love birds, and you did not catch me just yet." I say glaring at him. He raises his eyebrows.

"I don't believe that for a second since you are carrying his child."

"Well the love was never real, he was working with you the whole time to get me to fall for him. But guess what your little scam is over, I saw him with someone else. I don't need him or anyone else." I give him my iciest glare and he laughs.

"Wow, you have quite the imagination." I give him a confused look, "I never worked with your husband," I cringe at the word, "he betrayed you all on his own. And I was worrying he was becoming too womenish, with all that feelings junk. Love doesn't exist, it's an allusion. It's all beauty, lust and desire. And it's all in your head." I suddenly realize how close he got as he taps my head. "He betrayed you for the lust of other women, not because I told him to. And you're coming with us."

"I have much more power than you think." I say my anger rising. He clicks his tongue and nods looking behind me. Before I can turn around something cold wraps around my throat and I hear it quickly click with a lock. I reach up to feel a mix between metal and fabric tight around my neck. I turn around to see the guard to do it he smiles evilly. I try to take it off. But I turn around when leader shakes a little button in his hand.

"You little son of a b-"

"Nuh ah, wouldn't want your child to talk like that would you." I glare at him.

"Don't you dare uter a word about my child on your nasty mouth." He glares at me and I've had enough. I reach up my hand to freeze him. But only a little ice comes when he presses the button down. I immediately scream in extreme pain as shocks go through my head. I crumple to the ground.

"STOP! You're hurting her! Stop, stop!" I hear Einar yelling now also in chains. The pain finally stops and he leans down.

"Don't talk to me like that. And don't use your powers or I might inflict so much pain that it'll kill that presious child of yours. I squeeze my eyes shut and bite my tongue. This is the end. The end of my life, and worst for my child.
