Keian didn't say a word the whole way home. I started to get worried and reached for his hand, but sadly he pulled away.
"Keian.." I say softly.
"Don't keian me" his rude remark echos in the woods.
" He's the only father figure I have, I can't just let him die not knowing if his neice will make it our there!" I say starting to get mad. He huffs, somewhat laughing out of anger. I stop walking staring at him. He stops and turns looking me dead in the eyes.
" Don't do this, not right now" he says. Only making me madder.
" Oh so now you make all the decisions?" I say sharply. His eyes narrowed.
"Really? Clearly my opinion wasn't needed to house another child. I'm already stuck with one!" He said yelling but covered his mouth regretting the words that came out. Stuck...
My heart sank. "Your stuck with one..." I say softly. I lower my head starting at the protruding belly. My eyes start to water and my fists clench. "Y-your stuck with one..." My voice trembles. Barley able to be heard. Keian slowly creeps closer. " Kitty I didn't mean that I got mad."he says reaching for me. I draw my sword quick swinging at him. I knew it wouldn't hurt him, but it would make him back away. "I'll see you at home.." I say grabbing a teleport Crystal and walking off the opposite direction. He was quiet. I didn't want to turn back and regret anything I did. He deserves this. My cold shoulder. Nothing he could say would bring me back right now. I ended up on floor 6 in a small diner.
"Is that all you'll have sweetie?" The lady says taking my order. I nod and stare at the table. Maybe I was to harsh on him. Maybe I should go back.
Sooner than I expected a group of what looked to be young 20 year old men came up to me. "Excuse will you kindly show us the way to a teleport station, we're out of crystals." A tall man said. I nodded nicely and stood revealing my stomach. "Oh wow, your nocked up!" He says starring. I chuckle. " Heh, yeah, where ya from?" I ask. We get mid conversation. I learn his name is Alex and he knows Keian. His friends and him were going around selling small crystals of different kinds for extra money.
"So there ya go." I say smiling. He shakes my hand and stares into my eyes. I blush. "Wow your green eyes are just beautiful." He says. "Oh...thanks." I says. I started to get this feeling he wasn't that nice of a guy. Suddenly, his grip got tighter not letting me go. "W-what are you doing?" I say scared. "Just give us all your coal and you can teleport, if not we'll have some fun of our own." His smile became a grin. His once green curser turned red as did the rest of theirs. They pulled knives and and forced me into a duel. This way the could hurt me. I sat and thought for a moment. "No.." I say glaring at him. "No!" His eyes became sharp and his grip tighter. I eeked in pain. He took his small duel knife and starting sliding it down my stomach. I scream in pain. The horror these men could do was my worse fear.
A voice so faint comes through my ears as tears and sweat run down my face. "KITTY!" A voice calls. As quick as my eyes can readjust, sword is lunged into Alex's chest. He falls down into the crystalized numbers. The other men who joined him attacked keian as he fought them off to keep me alive. I saw my xp bar regaining back to green, but the pain was still there and I had no energy to lift myself up. I passed out, scared of what might happen next.
A cold hand touched my side where I was jabbed. I wake up almost screaming in pain. Keian quickly grabs me and hugs me tight, careful not to touch the spot. "Shhh, it's alright they're gone" he says, rubbing my back. His soft voice lulls me back to calmness. I look up into his sweet blue eyes smiling, "I can always count on you to be my hero." I say kissing his soft lips.
