I stood motionless for a second, lust still fogging my brain. His words penetrated through fog and suddenly filled me with fear and disbelief. I stared at him, unable to speak or move.
"What are you talking about? I'm-I'm n-n-not". I stammer choking on the words.
He simply stands there, still as a statue, face hard as granite staring at me with his black eyes immovable and emotionless as if he didn't just say something life altering.
Suddenly he stepped closer and spoke, infuriating calmly might I add.
"Yes you carry his seed, I can smell it."
I back up quickly, my legs giving out in shock. I crumple to the floor Kizan catching me instantly. I couldn't wrap my head around what he told me. I'm pregnant with Taron's baby. Me and Lucinda both. Dammit how could I let this happen? Now on top of everything else I have to deal with this.
Kizan continues to hold me patiently.
"Does the male know? Do you love him?" He asked. He seemed to genuinely want to know although his face continued to remain blank.
"No he doesn't know Please don't say anything." I said pointedly, ignoring his other question.
I didn't know how I felt about Taron anymore. I thought I felt something strong for him even after his betrayal but with Lucinda pregnant and meeting Kizan. I shook my head. My brain was officially empty. I had been through enough for one day, hell enough for a lifetime.
I sat on the floor near the stream still naked and in my shock blissfully unfazed by that. Kizan stood looking at me unsure. He didn't speak, seeming to understand my need for silence. He simply crouched near me and touched my cheek.
A sweet gesture.
His fingers were wet and I realized I was crying, silent tears of desolation. They flowed down my face in a seemingly endless stream. I remained blank though staring at the water motionless.
"Please Kizan i just need to be alone," I whispered weakly, refusing to look at him.
He seemed to think about it for a minute before standing and walking off. I sat there for longer than I probably should have. Contemplating everything. All that has happened, all that I've learned and been through. I felt incredibly overwhelmed with the knowledge that it wasn't even over yet. And now I had someone else to protect in all this chaos. A hybrid baby no less.
Despair and intense melancholy threatened to overtake me, but I pushed it away. I wouldn't let it. Not now. I remembered one of my favorite poems I used to read back in The Order. Stopping by Woods On a Snowy Evening . I felt my resolve harden and determination fill me again. Just like Robert Frost said in the poem. I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep.
I stand up quickly, pull on my clothes and head back to camp. I hope Kizan will do what I asked and not tell anyone of what he knows. Then a thought stills me with realization.
