Written Fate.

chapter 7

"What makes you think that she is the 'help' ?" Danielle said before finishing her last strawberry.

"Well... She just looks like one." Lisa said with a wide and ugly grin.
Alex shook his head and stared at the ceiling.

"Lisa, you seem to be mistaken. We have never had 'help' in this house, we have only had family and if that's what you thought then you're definitely in the wrong home.
And for your information, Allyson is..."
Alex swiftly interrupted Danielle.
"She's Danielle's friend,"

"Oh? Well Allyson. I'm Lisa, Alex's girlfriend slash soon to be fiancé slash future wife." She said pecking him on his cheek.
Who was she trying to convince, me or herself?
I had to fight every single cell in me to avoid bursting into laughter so I smiled and decided to introduce myself.

"Hi Lisa. I'm Allyson, Danielle's friend and I can say the two of you make a very interesting couple," as I was saying this, I could see Alex's threatening eyes on me. Maybe he must have thought I was going to mention being his mate. Ha! Too bad.
She took his hand and laid her head on his shoulder.

Danielle stood up taking her plate and mine.
"Honey, let's go to my room and give them space. Gosh I just ate,"
She said rolling her eyes.

I took the glasses and turned to Lisa.
"It was nice meeting you,"

I followed Danielle trying to catch up to her but how could I beat her vampire speed?

I'm her room, we talked about everything from her childhood to how hectic the royal life is.
We were having so much fun but time decided to be the enemy.
"It's 11:30 so soon. Are you tired?" Danielle asked lying on her bed.

"Not at all. So how did you and Ryan meet?" I said continuing the conversation.
A smile lit up her face but she quickly covered her face with the nearest pillow.

"He came into the shop one day seeking for an opinion on the block and right there and then we knew we were each other's mates.
That was 3 months ago,"

"You two make a lovely couple," I said really meaning it. She was absolutely in love with him.
Before I knew it a pillow hit me on my shoulder.

"Hey! How am I supposed to feel about that when you just said that to Lisa," she said sitting properly.
I laughed at the thought of Alexander and Lisa. I would be lying if said I did not picture myself in Lisa's sit but that thought could not overpower reality.

"I said they were interesting not lovely," I said with my happy mood slowly deteriorating.

"Honey, everything will be fine. If it makes you feel any better, between the two of you, you're my favourite and I believe you're perfect for that jerk called Alexander," she said rubbing my shoulder and couldn't help but smile a little.

That kick again.

"Danielle. Are you pregnant?"
What was wrong with my mouth. I really did not mean to say that.
It was like I lost control over my own mouth.

Danielle looked at me like I was insane and believe me I was beginning to doubt my sanity as well.

"What? Why would you..." She said standing up but she must have changed her mind because she sat down again.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I... I will just go and sleep," I said walking away as quickly as my feet allowed me to.
When I got to the door, I turned to look at Danielle and she still had the same expression of shock on her face.
"Goodnight," I said opening the door and swiftly closing it behind me.

' Just great Allyson. You have just been  demoted to least favourite '
I scolded myself and took the walk of shame to my room.

When I closed the door behind me, my eyes stayed on my mother's journal that I was yet to read.

I was too lazy to take the shower I've been longing for so I just changed into my pyjamas.
I sat on the bed and sat in a hero pose manner before taking the journal and reading it.

I was halfway through the intriguing journal when I began feeling sleepy so I put it on my nightstand and got into the bed sheets.
According to my phone it was 4am.

Great, 2 hours of sleep.

I heard someone screaming and crying, it was a very heartbreaking cry.
I quickly ran towards the voice and found Danielle on the floor curled up with her arms pressed on her stomach.
"My baby! Why couldn't it have been me?" She said with tears escaping her eyes.

"Help her! Help her, Allyson!" I heard what sounded like multiple voices but when I looked around the room, I could not see the owners.

"Allyson," a voice said on my left. Quickly turning to my left, I saw her. It was her. My mother standing next to a shadow.

"Mother? How are you here?" I asked trying to approach her but stopped because my fear of the shadow grew stronger.

"I've always been with you Ally, you just never saw my face," she said with a smile. A beautiful smile.
I pointed at the shadow and she laughed softly.
"Oh! Don't mind him. He just misses me and he refuses to go away,"

"Who... Who is he?" I asked her.

"I have to go. She's coming to tell you. Help her Ally," she said pointing at Danielle
"I love you Allyson,"

She turned and slowly walked away with the shadow.

I opened my eyes and sat up straight.
I checked the time, exactly 6am. I rubbed my eyes on my way to the bathroom to take a shower.
After the shower I decided to wear some jeans and a turquoise top.

I found Danielle sitting on the corner of my bed.

"An early riser, huh?" She said raising a hand in my direction.

"Absolutely," I said still feeling bad for dropping the "are you pregnant?" bomb on her hours ago.

"After you left my room yesterday, I called in for a favor with a doctor friend of mine. I still can't believe it but I can answer your question now. Yes, Yes! I'm pregnant," she said happily and I congratulated her.

She asked me how I knew and I just said pinned it on intuition.
She was so happy and wanted to surprise Ryan.

"How did you?"
How was I going to explain this to her? How was I going to tell her that I fear harm stands in her baby's way.

This is not good at all.
