The Empire Of The Rose

Antonio's Love [II]

That was all it took to make me start to lose it.

"Alice, please try to relax." Eleanor said softly as she noticed my labored breathing.

"How can you tell me to relax after saying something like that?" I said with a scoff, I mentally did the count and it was a possibility, a high one.

"I'm sorry Alice, I didn't know that this would bring such a negative effect on you, on the contrary I believe you'd be thrilled by knowing that you could be having a baby." Eleanor said as she looked at me.

I gave a sigh and then ran my fingers through my hair.

"Of course, I would be thrilled if the circumstances were different, we're in the middle of a war Eleanor. At this point I still don't know what I will do to protect Kyle; I don't know what I will do when this Academy falls under attack. Now let's say that I am pregnant, imagine what William will do when he finds out that I could be expecting a baby girl, another legit Falcon heir, if I had a baby and William couldn't have me he would take my baby away to ensure that the Falcon legacy or more like curse would continue." I said as I looked at her with fear.

Eleanor met my gaze and finally understood my point.

"Alice, I promise you that if the pregnancy results are positive, I won't tell anyone about it, I'll be the only one that'll know." Eleanor told me in a sincere voice.

I managed to give her a small smile.

"Thank you." I told Eleanor although that didn't smooth down my fear.

"So, what is my surprise Alice?" Eleanor said trying to get my mind out of all these worries.

"You're right, I had completely forgotten about that." I told her before I pulled out my phone and sent a message.

"Um, what are you doing?" Eleanor asked me confused.

"Telling your surprise to come here, it won't take long." I informed Eleanor and short after that she came into the infirmary although Eleanor didn't notice since her back was facing the door.

"Hi, I'm here for my mandatory checkup." Kathryn said nervously in her thick Russian accent which I found fascinating.

"Sure, please take a seat. I'll be with you in a moment." Eleanor said before she turned around and started at Kathryn shocked.

"Hello sister." Kathryn said with a smile.

"But how is this possible?" Eleanor asked as she looked at me shocked.

I got up from the chair and smiled at her.

"Kaley injected some of her blood in your sister's body before she was killed. Kathryn woke up in the grave, made her way out and went seeking for revenge. The other night Kaley came over to the Academy searching for Kathryn, look we don't know yet if you're sired to Kaley but as long as you don't harm a hunter or anything like that, you'll be fine Kathryn." I told her, at the moment Kathryn would be under constant supervision.

I only hoped that Kathryn didn't have a bad temper and was patient enough to endure all of this for the next couple of days.

"Of course, I understand Alice; you have nothing to worry about. It's good enough that you're letting me stay here." Kathryn said before she went to hug Eleanor.

"Are you sure about this?" Ryder asked doubtfully besides me.

I nodded still not believing we were actually doing this.

"Um, can you explain me again why we're doing this?" Naomi said as she looked around seeing all the space we would have to work with.

"Of course, Naomi you know we can't stay in the Academy forever, besides both Mason and I inherit this place from our mother, and we shouldn't have left it so unattended to begin with." I said as I pulled my hair up in a messy bun.
