CHAPTER 49

SIA
"What is wrong with me?" I asked no one in particular wiping my mouth with the hem of my dress.
Staying here as required by Kevin is not the problem. The big issue is that I have been throwing up and feeling really ill. I don't understand what is wrong with me, I will simply try and be strong for myself. That's if I don't throw up again. I threw up in the toilet again, the nausea got worse this time.
I heard footsteps coming close to the cell, I went back to the bed and sat down there. The two people I did not want to see came here. Nina and Sheila. I know how much they hate me, coming here is probably to mock me.
"Wow. This place suits her so well. At least she has something to useful to do here. That is to watch over the rats." Nina mocked me getting to where I am.
Sheila paced around the place looking at it disgustingly.
"This place is more than welcome for you. This is what you deserve you wretched witch. My brother defended you and showed you so much love, yet you threw all that away and betrayed him. You don't deserve his love. Did you think he would support you if you hurt his mother?"
"She is the Luna after all. She deserves an award for being so stupid, she thinks the world revolves around her little head."
They both took turns in mocking me, I watched them without saying a word. Of course this is how they are going to treat me now that I have no one by my side ready to help me. This is only temporary, I know things are going to change soon. I want Kevin to find out the truth while keeping me away from these evil people.
Why do I have a feeling this was planned by them with Annabelle? What if she is pretending and the whole thing is fake? The doctor, the maid who said she saw me, I was tricked into a trap. I took the bait.
"Aren't you going to say something? Are you going to keep looking at us like an idiot with no words to defend yourself? You've really got done nerves." Sheila gritted her teeth.
"I would only speak to Alpha Kevin, he is the only one I can answer to. As for me being the real culprit, I have no comments over that. I know the real ones would be caught soon, not everything can be hidden forever." I replied finally.
They both scoffed, then took turns in laughing. Disturbing the environment, I had to cover my ears to prevent it from bursting.
"You could just kill them, why are you restraining yourself?" My wolf finally spoke to me.
"I don't see a reason why I should, they don't deserve it. Their doom is next, it won't be from me either." I replied her.
"What did you say? Are you threatening us?" Nina snarled at me.
I shook my head, "I wouldn't dare to do that. You have an opportunity to be with Alpha Kevin now. You could be the next Luna, I have to be careful with my words."
She scoffed, "You knew that, yet you kept being negligent. Anyways, I know you are not going to come out of this alive. So I have nothing to worry about."
They both laughed again, this time they really look like a bunch of idiots.
"What makes you so sure I won't survive this? You have underestimated me too much. You don't know what I am capable of doing." I warned them.
"Is that a threat?"
"Yes, I am a witch right. I have the power to get myself out of here if I wanted to. But I want to come clean, that is why I have decided to stay here. Not because I am guilty of a trap that you set for me." I replied bluntly.
Their expression is priceless. I wanted to laugh but I controlled myself, I feel good teasing them. They came to mock me yet I turned the tables on them. Idiots! What did they think? They can do whatever they want with me? The nerves they have.
"You are not going to leave here alive. That is my promise to you! You're so stupid and useless." Sheila growled and stomped away.
Nina glared at me and ran after Sheila. I covered my mouth and threw up again, I was holding it in to avoid them seeing my weak state. I need to see a doctor, I have no idea what is wrong with me.
I thought I would get better soon enough, but that seems to be a joke. I stayed on the hard bed looking very ill, I wished Kevin would come around. He has not come to see me since yesterday, he must be mad at me for not saying anything as regards to this issue.
My prayers seemed to be heard, someone came in the afternoon. It is Kevin, he stopped in front of my cell staring deeply at me. I stood up to meet him, I ended up feeling nauseous again. I threw up, not able to stop myself.
"Are you okay?" He asked looking concerned.
"Yes, I just feel a bit..." Vomited again. Could it be the food I ate? I have been feeling like this since I came here. If I was weak before, I wouldn't have noticed until now.
"You're not okay. Let me get the doctor, stay put and don't make the whole place smelly." He told me and walked away.
Thankfully, I didn't vomit again. Maybe he is the only medicine I need to be okay. I waited for the doctor who came after a while, looking around the cell.
"Can you please excuse us?" He demanded from the guard who stood behind him.
The guard left, leaving me and the doctor alone in the cell. He checked my pulse, and did some tests on me. He shook his head, making me wonder why the negativity. Is something wrong with me? Am I going to die anytime soon? Ah, don't exaggerate Sia. You're just ill, no negative thoughts.
"What's wrong with me doctor?" I asked him.
"You shouldn't be at a place like this. Your health is at risk. You are pregnant my lady." He blurted out.
"Pregnant? What?" How is that even possible? Have I been... Oh no! I've been so carried away, I did not think of the possibility of this happening. This is not good news at a time like this. This is bad news.
If those evil girls find out, they're going to harm this poor innocent baby. I wish I could scream it out that I am pregnant for Kevin.
"You are pregnant, all those things are signs of early pregnancy. You should not be here like I said, I should try talking to Alpha Kevin. Perhaps he would reconsider and put you in a much better place." He suggested.
I stopped him, "No wait a minute doctor. You can't do that yet, I don't want anyone to know. Please don't tell anyone."
"But that would be against my profession. They deserve to know this and move you from here, you could be in danger in an environment like this. I only want to help you out." He bluntly declined.
What am I going to do? This doctor would not keep his mouth shut unless I do something about it.
"Doctor, I would do anything you want. Just for you to keep this secret, please." I pleaded with him.
"I'm sorry my lady. I can't do that." He still refused. This made me angry, why is he refusing to accept my decision.
I closed my eyes in deep thoughts. I decided to try something out to see if it will work. I quickly put my hand on his forehead and stared deeply into his eyes.
"You are not going to tell anyone I am pregnant. You are going to tell anyone you see that I am having a serious fever and I need to be taken to the hospital for proper treatment and cleansing. Mention nothing about pregnancy, forget about it." A light flashed from my hand into his head.
I quickly moved my hand and stared at him. What just happened? Did it work? Or have I damaged his brain instead?
"Umm... Doctor, what is wrong with me?" I asked him like he hasn't told me before.
"You have a very high fever my lady, your body system is weak and you need to be taken to the hospital right away." He replied.
I smiled inwardly, this worked faster than I expected. He's saying exactly what I wanted him to say.
"Oh. If I need to be taken to the hospital, do you think Alpha Kevin would accept that? I am a prisoner still under investigation. He may think otherwise and refuse."
He shook his head, "No my lady. I can talk to him, he listens to whatever I recommend. And I recommended that you are taken to the hospital."
"Okay, good luck convincing him." I thumbed for him.
He smiled, "I'll be back with good news, you should try and hold on till then. I know it is not easy but you have to he strong."
"I will try and be strong waiting for you. Hurry up and go." I pushed him out of the cell, waving at him with a smile.
He left, my smile faded immediately. I can't believe that I am pregnant! How on earth am I supposed to deal with this? I can't stay here anymore knowing that things have unexpectedly changed. My heart raced faster while waiting for the doctor in the cell. I wonder if Kevin is going to accept that I am taken to the hospital.
I touched my belly, looking down at it as if I can see my baby just yet. I continued waiting for the doctor, till I heard footsteps getting closer. I quickly laid on the bed making my weak face, I can't let them suspect anything.
Kevin stopped in front of the cell with the doctor. I made sure my acting was convincing enough, he actually looks worried about me. That made my heart flutter as I wanted to run into his arms. Sadly, life is not a bed of roses.
"You said you need to take her to the hospital? Can't you treat her here at the mansion?" He asked the doctor.
What?
"No your majesty. There are some tests that still need to be done on her, those tool can't be brought here. I believe you don't have them here at the mansion either, so I decided to take her to the hospital. This is the only way to prevent her from danger." The doctor replied.
"Exactly!" I said inwardly.
"Do whatever you have to do. She has to be alive to face her trial. You only have two days to treat her at hospital. You will have to bring her back after that." Kevin finally agreed.
"Yes!" I said inwardly again, I felt excited to know this.
"Yes, your majesty." The doctor bowed.
"I'll prepare all the escorts needed to take her to the hospital. You go wait for me at the mansion." He ordered the doctor.
"Yes, excuse me." The doctor said and left.
Kevin stared at me for long, my eyes also didn't leave his. I wanted to say something, but don't know what exactly to say.
"Take care of yourself. Stop getting sick." He said then walk away.
I blushed hard, he just showed how much he cares about me. I waited for whoever is coming to get me, fully ready to go through anything. I may be gone for a while and I will miss him, I'll definitely be back when the time is right. I'm sorry Kevin, I have to do this for us, and our baby. I can't watch him be in danger.
"It's time." Someone said.
