Our Unexpected Life 2

Chapter VIII

I look at it in shock and then I remember my leg. I lift up the pant looking down on my leg and there on my lower leg at the back, there is also a faint black mark.

“Shit.” I practically shout.

 I hear a knock on the bathroom door a few seconds later.

“Destiny, are you alright?” Cloud asks from the other side.

 I put down my pant leg and open the door.

“Is everything alright?” he asks again.

“No, I have it to. The Stigma.” I say.

“What? Where?” Cloud asks, with a shocked face.

I stick out my arm and show him it.

“Its faint, but its there.” I say, and he sees it, his eyes goes wide. 

“And” I say pulling up my pant leg and lifting it up. Cloud grabs my leg and see’s the other mark at the back.

“I should have known.” I say.

“What?” Cloud says, putting my leg down and looking at me oddly.

“I should have known that was a sign.” I say, feeling stupid.

“That? What sign?” Cloud asks confused.

“I came in and I got a pain in my leg and arm. I fell to the floor and I looked at it but nothing was there. The pain only lasted a minute, about.” I say, looking at him.

 Anna and Zack come in.

“What’s going on?” Anna asks, holding Zack’s hand.

“I have the stigma.” I say, slowly walking over.

“What?” Anna asks.

“Remember when Rufus said something about a Stigma that Kagaj is creating. Well, I have it and there’s no cure.” I say.

“We both have it.” Cloud says coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around and over my neck. I put my left hand on his arms.

“What? Really?” Zack asks.

“Yeah.” I say.

Anna gets kind of shocked. No one speaks a word for a whole two minutes, I get out my phone and I check the time. Its 5:25 in the afternoon.

“Well, I’m going to make dinner.” I say.

“Alright. Do you need help?” Anna asks, after a minute.

“If you want to.” I say.

Cloud lets me go, but then quickly grabs my hand.

“Wait. We should wrap your arm and leg first.” Cloud says.

“Alright.” I say.

I sit on the bed and Cloud goes and gets some white bandages. He comes back with two metre long bandages. He stops in front of me and I lean back, sticking my foot up on the bed. He wraps my leg up then I sit up and puts out his hand, I stick out my arm and he grabs my hand then places it flat, right underneath the middle of his chest.

“Keep it there.” Cloud says smiling slightly and stretching out the bandage.

While he does that, I feel the muscles in his stomach tense, when he leans back a bit.He wraps the bandage around my arm and clips it together.

“Thanks.” I say.

I stand up and Cloud nods his head then kisses me gently. I smile and walk over to the kitchen, pulling out some vegetables and chop them up. Anna and I end up making rice, steamed vegetables and ham. It was good. We clean up and we decide to go to 7th Heaven and chill with Tifa, Marlene and Denzel.
