Chapter 9: Trouble
"Babe are you sure you don't want me coming down there" Kevin asked one cool summer evening as we were talking on the phone. "Yes sweetheart I'm fine just a stomach flu that's been going around" I said quietly. "Alright dragoste, I love you" he said gently. "I love you too" I whispered as I hung up. I stared down at the positive pregnancy test in my hand. Pregnant. I was pregnant. But...how? I've been on birth control. Kevin was protected. How? As I sat there on my bed I felt a tiny kick coming from my stomach. I gasped, and held my stomach. Oh God. Something just moved within me. I was going to be a mama. At 17 years old, I was gonna be a mom. How could I tell him? How could I tell anyone? If the B.R.S. finds out we're in big trouble. Oh God, please help me. Help me. I can't do this on my own...
I felt the kicking again, and this time it made me cry. They would kill me, and my baby. No. They would kill Kevin, and make me watch. What do I do?! "Jade....baby...are you alright?" I heard mama say from the hallway. I couldn't tell her. If she found out I had sex before marriage it would break her heart. "Y-ya mama....I.....I'm just uhhh...not feeling to well" I called back. "Do you need me to call the doctor?" She asked sounding worried. Doctor. No. She couldn't take me to a doctor. I wouldn't be 18 for a few more months, which meant they would have to tell her my diagnosis. "N-no mama....I....I'll be fine..." I said quietly. "Alright baby..." she said before she descended the steps. I sat on the ground holding my stomach. Why me? Why?
As I was walking to Kevin's house I had the most strangest feeling that someone was watching me. I turned around, and for a second I thought I saw a pair of glowing eyes in the darkness of the woods. I took a deep breath, and continued walking foreward. "It's all in your mind Jade..." I whispered to myself. "Or is it....." came a voice from behind me. I jumped, and turned around. Standing before me was a very tall, muscular stranger. He had blazing blue bangs, and hair as red as fire. He had spiral tattooing going up his arms and up his torso. He had piercing green eyes that seemed to see right through me. "W-who are you...?" I whispered, my hands protectively over my stomach. "My dear...my name is Kern...the B.R.S. sent me..." he whispered as he walked closer to me. My eyes were probably the size of saucers. "T-the B.R.S.?..." I whispered in shock. "Yes my dear....it seems you, and your precious boyfriend have broken quite a lot of our rules..." he whispered as he stroked my face. I turned my head away quickly. "We.....we did not.....I.....I.....we....". I couldn't think of an excuse. He would never believe me if I told him I was a vampire too. "Shhh darling....shhhh...." he whispered still stroking my face. A small smirk crossed his face. "Your beautiful...for a human....your blood.....it's calling to me...." he whispered as he closed his eyes. I gulped. "Please......Kevin...he....he's expecting me..." I whispered terrified. "Shh....this won't take long" he whispered as he lowered his head to my neck. "Plea-" my pleas slowly turned to screams. The pain was excruciating. I could feel him sucking the life out of me. My head tilted back, and I let out a quiet sound. Kern's moans of pure pleasure echoed around us. His arms tightened around me, his mouth clamping harder on my neck. My baby kicked ferociously within me. "No.........." I croaked. "Jade!" I heard a familiar voice cry out. "K......ev......in......." I managed to croak out. "Get away from her now!" He screamed as he pulled Kern off of me. I crumpled to the ground, my hands slowly folding over my stomach. I felt so weak. So lightheaded. "Ah Kevin Moore....so your my target.....heh...the great Damien Moore's son broke the rules of Amani...." Kern scoffed. Kevin growled. I tried keeping my eyes open to see what would happen between my love, and my assailant but soon enough my eyes slowly gave in, and they drooped closed. The nightmares I had were horrible. So horrible I had thought they actually had happened. Such a horrible burning sensation drifted through me. I actually thought I had been thrown into the pits of Hell. I thrived in pain, crying out. "Kill me!" I screamed. It was so excruciating. I wanted to die. I couldn't feel my baby kicking. Oh God. Was my baby dead. Just then I felt one huge kick, and it felt as though he had kicked right through me. I jolted upright, and I screamed. "God please kill me!" I screamed. "Shh shh shh, it's ok babe shh" I heard the soothing voice of my lover. My eyes shot open and I gasped.
It was all a dream. A dream. "Where is he! Where is he!" I gasped looking around. I noticed I was in Kevin's room safe and sound. "He's gone baby....he's gone..." Kevin whispered. I hugged him tightly. "Oh Kevin...." I whispered. "Is the baby alright?" He whispered. My eyes widened. How did he know? "B-baby..." I whispered. He gently pressed his ear to my belly. I saw a small smile curl at his lips as our baby kicked. "He sure is a strong little guy" Kevin whispered soothing. "H-he?" I whispered. Kevin nodded. "I'm just taking a guess of course" he said smiling. "H-how did you k-know I was p-pregnant..." I whispered quietly. I can hear the baby's tiny heart beat. Sweetheart why didn't you tell me?" He asked as he picked up my hand. Tears slowly filled my eyes. "Because.......because I didn't want you to be angry with me.....and now.....and now the B.R.S. know and they're going to kill you" I cried. I felt him hug me gently. I was terrified. For my baby. For my love. I couldn't imagine the horrors that they would afflict apon my loved ones. I couldn't imagine what they would do to my Kevin. I felt him rubbing my back gently. "Jade......it's ok...they aren't going to harm our baby..." he whispered. He didn't get it. He didn't get it at all. I wasn't just worried about our baby...I was worried about him too. I pushed him away. "No! You don't get it Kevin! They're going to take you away from me!" I cried. "Jade.....no....no they aren't....calm down sweetheart...stress isn't good for the baby" he whispered soothingly. I sniffled, and I stared into his eyes. "Jade....honey....nobody will ever break our family up. Never." He whispered as he kissed my lips. But what if he was wrong. What if our family ended up broken up forever. Kevin pulled me as close as he could. His scent smelt so nice. Just being in his arms was enough to calm me down immensely. I dug my face into his chest, and I wrapped my arms around his waist tightly. I was afraid. I knew we were in trouble, and there was nothing I could do to stop it...
