"I've already decieded, Troy." Cassie tried to say firmly, all though truly the thought of killing the being inside her just made her want to run and hide.

"Decided what?" Troy asked, she bit her bottom lip as she turned to walk away.

"You comin' or what?" the taxi driver yelled to Cassie.

"No she isn't!" Troy yelled. "We haven't finished talking about this!"

"Fine, I'm leaving!" The taxi driver yelled asnd sped out of the parking lot.

Cassie stood there as she sheilded herself from the gravol kicked up by the taxis wheels. Troy stared at her, his eyes a mix of pity and anger as Cassie squirmed. Thelma was gawking at the pair as her arms flaying as she tried to think of how to get Cassie out of the situation.

"Troy, I can't do this now!" Cassie said desperatly.

"Its my child too!" Troy said, trying to come closer to Cassie. "And I do love you! I can love our baby too!"

"Its not yours, Troy..." Cassie muttered, trying desperatly to make Troy go away, killing Azazeal's baby was hard enough with out Troy around. "I'm sorry, but it isn't yours."

"It has to be." Troy muttered as hurt flickered behind his blue eyes. "If it wasn't then you must have slept with someone else after us..."

"Troy," Cassie began as she slowly backed up. "I have to go-"

She would have finished her sentence and ran back up to her room until she thought it was safe to go back out again, but Troy grasped hold of her wrist and held tight. She let out a pained cry as she tried to struggle away.

"Don't do this to me! Tell me whose the baby's father!" he growled, Thelma hopped from foot to foot a few meters away.

"I can't," Cassie cried as she struggled more.

"I love you! And I know its mine!" Troy yelled, she looked for help but only Thelma stood chewing on her nails. "If its not mine then I want to know whose it is!"

"Why?" Cassie asked.

"Because I need to know who ruined my life!" Troy growled. Cassie gave one last attempt to struggle from his death grip but gave up.

"His name is Azazeal," Cassie said, she felt a burning sensation on her neck but pushed it from her mind, she was trying desperastly not to miss Azazeal. "I slept with him a week after I slept with you and then I got pregnant."

"Azazeal, eh? Was he better then me?" Troy spat.

"What," Cassie gasped through her choked sobs. "No-"

"Don't lie to me!" Troy yelled.

"Yes! He was!" Cassie yelled back.

"Do you love him?" Troy said quietly, and even though he hadn't yelled his anger terrified her more then ever.

"No-" Cassie began but he glared at her. "I don't... no."

Troy stared at her with hard eyes, he glanced down at her swollen stomach then threw her wrist away from him as if it were a dead rat. He then spun on his heel and ran off to his car where he hopped in and sped off, taking care that his tires flicked the smalls tones into Cassie's face as he whirled out.

"God," Thelma gapsed. "He's got a nerve!"

Cassie wasn't paying attention, the burning on her neck had intensified as she thought about Azazeal's lips on her own and the way his hand traveled down her spine as she slept next to him. Then suddenly her mind was drawn back to the real world as Thelma talked to her.

"Can I get you anything?" Thelma asked.

"A coffee would be great," Cassie replied. Thelma nodded and ran off back to Medneham.

Cassie didn't really want coffee, she just wanted some time alone... her hand ran over her stomach as she thought hard about what she was planning on doing to her baby that lay so volnerable in her stomach. The son was being blotted out by rain clouds as she thought of Azazeal, probably worrying about her as she travelled alone unprotected.

She looked around to make sure Thelma wasn't near her then she wrapped her coat tighter around her. She closed her blue eyes tightly as she thought of Azazeal. Her mind travalled through the streets as she searched the town for Azazeal finally her mind rested on him sitting on his black leather couch, His eyes tearing up.

She came hurling back to her physical body and smiled to herself, some how she got a slight pleasure from seeing her betrothed completely heart broken as she resisted him. It was in that clear moment she realised that abortion wasn't the way because she really did love Azazeal and wanted to truly have his baby. She took one last fleeting gaze at Medenham hall then ran off towards the forest... the wind kicking up and wipping her blond hair around as she ran, completely shocked by her own bravery.

"I do love you Azazeal," she whsipered.

(A/N) Do you think I should? Tell me what you think...
