'Expecting the Unexpected'
Expecting the Unexpected
“Enough!
Stop it, both of you. You are both acting like childrens. Kries, we understand your concerns, but Emery is fully capable of the task at hand. Emery, try to understand Kries’s anxiety, and let it alone.”
Itna stood in between the men, breaking up the beginnings of what would have been a most horrific fight. I became conscious as Emery walked away from Kries and Itna.
“What’s going on, Kries?”
I sat up, slightly confused. Chloe rushed to my side, helping me to stand.
“You and Emery are running away together,” he spat angrily, as he started to walk off.
“What?”
Kries ignored me, continuing to walk away.
I suddenly became so enraged,
that I grabbed Kries by the shoulders and pushed him against the wall. Everyone stopped and watched me, not breathing a word.
“Don’t walk off from me like I.. did something wrong! I JUST married you, you JUST finished the house, and I’m six months pregnant! I am not running off with anyone, and how dare you suggest such a thing!”
I had Kries pinned by the chest to the wall. He was staring at me with a concerned look. I was so angry, I couldn’t see straight, I couldn’t remember what I had just said, and I couldn’t do anything but leave. So before he even responded I turned, threw open the door and ran the hardest I had in a long time, at least the hardest I could for being six months pregnant.
“Well that went well. I have never heard her talk like that,” Max chimed in, chuckling.
Kries glared at him, and went out to find me.
I ran in the direction of my new house. I knew the only reason Kries would make me leave was Dumitro, no matter what I said or pretended to think, and that pissed me off more than anything.
'Dumitro, I hate you! Why are you doing this to me?' I thought to him.
“You shouldn’t run that hard when you’re that far along,” Dumitro spoke aloud to me.
He was leaning against a tree,
next to my new house. But instead of stopping, I kept on running.. right up to him, and threw him into the tree, taking him by surprise.
“Why can’t you just stay out of my life?! I hate you!” I screamed at him, as I hit him.
You could see fear in his face, for a brief second... or maybe it was just a slight amount of shock. He grabbed my fists and restrained me. He was incredibly strong.
“How can I resist going after my brother’s wife.. especially when she conspired to kill me?”
He forcefully, virtually slammed
the words down my throat.
“Hey!” Kries yelled, “let go of my wife!”
Suddenly, he was right next to us.
“Or what?”
Dumitro was inches from his face. Bam! Kries slammed his fist into Dumitro’s face. I felt my hands come free. I backed up, right into Emery, who picked me up and ran me to a carriage waiting.
“Wait! No! No!!” I started to panic, realizing I was leaving Kries on angry terms.
“Kries!!” I screamed, as tears fell down my cheek.
He looked up briefly from the fight,
just to see that it was Emery taking me, and then continued with Dumitro. Emery put me in the carriage, into the arms of Chloe, who was going with us, and climbed in front to drive. I tried to open the carriage door, but Chloe restrained me, until we were moving to fast for it to do any good. I cried until I fell asleep. When I woke up, and remembered why I was in the carriage, I started screaming and crying at the same time.
“Kries!!!!”
I screamed and screamed as I rocked back and forth holding myself, letting all the tears fall. The carriage suddenly stopped. Emery threw open the door.
“What is going on?”
He looked at Chloe, accusingly.
“She’s upset. I think she also might have a fever. She was fussing a lot in her sleep and her head feels hot; she did a lot of things today that she shouldn’t of in her condition. It’s not good for her.”
Emery sighed.
He grabbed a hold of my shoulders, and forced me to look at him.
“I know you’re in pain, but you have to be quiet, or all of this will have gone to waste. Kries wants you safe and alive, and that means you need to come with me quietly to a safe spot. Do you understand Clara?”
I wrapped my arms around him, and let him hold me there for a second, while I cried quietly. He rubbed my back, and rocked me until my breathing had calmed down, and then he laid me on Chloe.
“There’s a good girl, now try to sleep.”
He pulled a red blanket over my lap,
and patted me before closing the door. The motion of the carriage rocked me to sleep on Chloe’s lap. That ride I had a dream that I lost the baby, because of all of the stress. I wasn’t going to have that. Not all of my visions had come true, and this would be one of those that didn’t. When we arrived at the lighthouse, Chloe woke me up and I went inside and stood by the fire Emery had lit. I was so tired, I fell back asleep in the lighthouse.
“Come on,” Emery cooed, waking me up.
He had let me nap, while he and Chloe located the cottage, and packed up the carriage with more supplies.
“Why can’t we just stay here tonight?”
I pleaded, rolling over to face him.
“Because Dumitro knows where this is. He does not know where the cottage is, nor does he know that this light points to it. It’s a Hatfield secret. So it’s best we leave... especially considering he’s probably already headed here. I know you were asleep and didn’t notice, but we parked a ways from here on the grass in the direction of the cottage, thus avoiding noticeable tracks. We have to leave now.”
He brushed my hair out of my face. I groaned as I tried to sit up.
“Here, let me carry you.”
He slid his arms under me and picked me up. He carried me to the carriage and laid me inside, next to Chloe.
“Only one more ride,”
he reassured us, as he closed the door.
“Chloe? Are you frightened?” I asked her.
“I am more afraid of you stressing yourself out of a baby, then the Demons. But then again.. I am a Hatfield.”
She looked at me lovingly.
“I had a vision that I lost the baby. But I won’t let it happen. I am going to lie in bed until it’s born if I have too.”
I laid my head against Chloe, letting a tear roll down my cheek.
“Don’t think of that right now. Think of something that makes you happy. Like Kries unveiling your beautiful new house to you.”
She rubbed my belly.
I missed Kries so much; I hated it when we were separated. But maybe it had to be this way. Maybe I would be able to live in my house, and we could raise our baby, and not worry about the Demons. Maybe this was what it was going to take. Maybe.
