It's been two weeks now and going to the forest had been my daily routine. The tree was marked with my blood stains. It was an important part of me.
I hadn't seen Alpha Apollo either. I couldn't say I was happy because I knew where ever he is, he's still alive. I couldn't rest still knowing he's still breathing.
I was in the forest to take my daily pill. Like wise the enormous tree allowed me to throw all my sorrows upon it. But today was the last bash. It was the end of my suffering. I hope my mom reserved a place for me because I was coming. I was to rejoin her again. I'm tired of this world. I'm tired of everything. I'm tired of living.
I picked up a push dagger that I had on my way to the forest. I had stolen it from one of the guards. A weapon that would carry away my burden.
Tears escaped my eyes as I held the dagger above my wrists. No one would find me here. I would bleed and die in peace.
As I pushed down the blade I couldn't feel myself very well. I felt weak and I was shaking. Was I afraid to take my own life? No I wasn't, this was what I wanted more than anything.
It's been days I started feeling like that. I just couldn't feel the power I needed to get on with it. Instead I felt more weak. My hands were shaking telling me to stop. My head was fogging. I felt a twist in my stomach. I hadn't eaten in days but that never seemed to be a problem. I could go more than two weeks without eating. Hunger has never been a problem for me. But I was feeling even more weak by the second. I could feel I was losing ground. I tried to balance myself but I failed. I only felt my body hitting the ground hard. I then only spotted the blue sky before everything turned into darkness.
I regained my vision again but it was no longer the forest. I was inside a room and it was not the Dungeon. I panicked knowing it could mean only one thing. I jumped out of my sleeping position but I was immediately held down.
"Let me go!" I screamed. "Don't touch me!" I screamed even more.
" Calm down Sam. You're in the doctor's room." I heard someone mention. My senses partly came back and my eyes dart around the room. I saw a few nurses and on my side was the doctor. But that wasn't enough to calm me down.
"What are you doing with me!? Why am I here!?" I cried. The last time I saw a doctor was before Alpha Apollo had his filthy hands on me. They were as bad as him. Were they planning to drug me again.
"Relax. We're not going to do anything to you. You fainted in the middle of the forest for whatever reason and we're trying to see what could be the course," he says. Why would they care about my health when it was their doing to even begin with. And what's so hard enough not to see I was trying to break free from this cruelty.
" Doctor the results are back." My eyes landed on a younger nurse carrying some papers in his hand.
"Let me see," the doctor replied. He took a hard look at the papers before giving me a baffled look."Are you sure?" The doctor looked back at the young nurse.
" We've checked them over and over again. They all came back the same," he responds. What were they talking about? Curiosity and fear sets in.
"I'm sorry to tell you this but you're pregnant Miss Gilbert," he spoke in very faint voice with fear and confusion in his eyes. My eyes widened, as his words spread like wild fire across the room. I was thunder struck. What could they mean I was pregnant?
"Wh-wha- but that's impossible!!" I protested.
" We could run the tests again, but I don't guarantee they'll come saying anything different," he says. I just felt energy draining out of my body. I just sloped back to the bed like a dead fish. I couldn't believe, I didn't want to believe. I had no idea what to do with this. Should I cry or should I cry even more? I was confused. "Do you know who the father is?" He questions causing my blood to boil vigorously.
" Do I know who the father is? You're the one to ask me who the father is? The doctor who drugged a seventeen year old girl so she could be molested and raped by a 50 year old man? You're the one to ask me that?" I sneered at him levitating with anger.
"But we put you on birth control," he replies.
" Birth control? Don't tell me about birth control!" I spat. "All of you are just disgusting, useless scavengers."
" It's still early. You can still terminate it," he suggested. Like it was nothing at all.
" Like how you-all you've terminated my life!? I'm not going to do some stupid abortion. You gave me this and I'm keeping it. I'm not a murderer unlike you," I said barely even meaning my words. It had me thinking if my mother had agreed to abort me I wouldn't be here suffering. I didn't feel like putting another version of me in the same situation I was. But my mother's words rang like a gong in my head " I kept you because you were innocent and had nothing to do with it all. Killing an innocent soul is worse than giving birth to a slave. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me. You're the only reason that keeps me saying in these cruel grounds." I never understood those words but they were still stuck inside me. They made me feel evil for trying to get rid of the baby. They were making me feel like one of them.
" Do you think our Alpha will let you go around like that?"
" Well he should have thought about that when he gave me this. You should have thought about that when you drugged me." I got up from the bed ready to leave, boiling with anger. Now not only has he taken something from me but decided he's going to leave the results of it. I was angry, confused, didn't know what to do.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Why do you care? Just be ready to tell your stupid Alpha, his daughter is carrying his third born." I brushed past them and I left. One thing is for sure I couldn't lose my baby. Yes it was never how I planned to have mine but this innocent soul knows nothing. All I knew, I had to get away from here for the sake of me and my baby. I couldn't let my baby be exposed into the kind of life I knew. I had to do something and killing myself wasn't part of the plan anymore.
It was already late and most of the servants were asleep. I walk around to find the Alpha's bedroom. The was no one guarding it so I easily slipped inside before closing the door behind me. The smell, the energy, brought back all the memories. This is the place where I lost my innocence, something I could never get back again. The seed growing inside me was planted in this place.
My eyes yet again fell on that picture on the wall. Something told me to look behind. If my hunch was right then escaping wouldn't be the worst thing.
I removed the picture and bingo! It was as I thought. But I didn't have the code. Where was I going to get a code, I don't give up though. Silently so I start searching. But I heard some footsteps drawing closer. To instinct I placed the picture back before making my way out of the window and sure to close it behind me. The door opened and I heard footsteps coming closer as I held my breath.
There was still my scent all over the room but I guess she might have thought I was one of the servants. I couldn't recognize her scent and I was sure enough she couldn't recognize mine either.
"Stupid servants. They think they are smart enough to steal from the Alpha." A muffled voice came from the room and she sounded more of a woman. Of course my scent was still all over the picture, but was she too trying to steal from the Alpha?
I couldn't see anything from outside and I could never crack the code but I still listened closely. The safe clicked indicating that it was open. Then suddenly her phone starts ringing and she immediately picks it up. "What? How's that even possible? I don't even have two minutes around here?" She replied terribly shocked. "Stupid scumbags," she cursed under her breath. "okay I'll be there in a second." Without any second thought she left the room in fury. As the door closed I too ducked out of my hiding place. I had hoped she had forgotten to close the safe. I sneaked back inside through the window. To my luck the safe was indeed still open. I found a small sports bag in the Alpha's closet and started loading as much as I can. Quickly as I could, I then closed the safe. I might have picked a few expensive jewelry from the stranger's bag. I only assumed she was the Alpha's mistress, or otherwise how could she have known the code? I sneak out of the window again.
I made it to the front porch and hid behind the hedges. I could see the commotion in the main door. The smoke and the Lady Mistress yelling angrily.
"Do you know how much I've spent on this car!? Do you know how much you just cost me!?" She yells. I moved to the other side that gave me a better view. It was Jeremy and he had crushed her car. The man has been having drinking problems ever since his mate rejected him.
The Mistress was yelling at him but the guy could barely even understand where the hell he was. He couldn't even talk for his own sake. I could stand there and watch but I knew I had to disappear whilst I still had time. I knew it wouldn't be long until they realize what I had done. I ran making sure no one could spot me. The gate was still open since Jeremy's incident.
At least one thing seems to be going good for me. I made it to the main road and I start running without even looking back. I was tired and my lungs were burning but I knew if they catch me, then I was good as dead. I arrived at the bus station and thank Goddess I had found the bus. I thought she had forsaken me but I guess not. Maybe she was just waiting for me to make a decision and take a leap of faith.
