Chapter 5

I had gotten dressed and said my goodbyes and good nights to Amenrah before I dashed towards my room. Hoping not to run into anybody that was wondering where I had been. And as I rounded a corner, my hope was shot down like a dead duck.

"Well hey Birthday girl, we were wondering where you had run off to" Jed said as he walked next to Octavius.

"Yeah, just thought I had, had my fun, and went to go rest for a while" I lied.

"Huh...well your hair tells me another story" he pointed out, looking skeptical.

Oh...damn.

"What do you mean by that Jed?" Octavius asked, curiously.

"Well her hair is all spread out this way and that, which usually means a woman has had..." Jed began but swept him up into my hand and kept quiet.

"A bad hair day" I finished for him, knowing where he had been going with that but wasn't going to let him tell that to anyone "that or got attacked by a blow dryer" I laughed nervously.

Octavius looked at me suspiciously.

"Noemi..." he said with a serious voice "put Jed down and let him finish what he was saying."

I whined and pouted "No...please. I beg you"

"What's the big deal with what he was going to say, it can't be anything bad, can it?" he asked, looking up at me for an answer or response.

I looked around for a moment then shrugged.

"Put him down, Noemi" Octavius told me.

I whimpered and my face fell like a puppy about to be whipped to death.

"Geez, Noemi" Jed started, brushing himself off "There's nothing bad about having sex"

And this is where I die and place a rose on my chest. I shook with fear and bit my lip. Oh god. I covered my head, just waiting for god or something to smite me dead.

"What...?" Octavius asked, not getting what Jed had meant.

"You see when a girl has sex, seeing as she has long hair, it's usually all poofed out and ratty, like Noemi's is right now" Jed pointed out again.

I curled up on the floor and prayed for death. Oh god the embarrassment. Someone just shoot me!

Octavius was silent and I didn't dare open my eyes, I just continued to shake in fear.

"Who was it! I'll cut the blighter in half!" Octavius roared.

I began to cry and wail.

"Woah, hold up Octavius. Don't upset the girl, she obviously just had her first time, don't ruin that for her"

This made Octavius even more irate.

"How dare he defile her honor! Without even considering telling her to wait for marriage!" He roared and and stamped his foot.

"Come on Octavius, you can't tell me you've never done it before the commitment of marriage" Jed said.

Octavius looked at him with a glare "Never..." he growled.

Jed backed up and raised his arms "Woah, no wonder you're so uptight, you need to get laid, buddy. Come on, I'll take you back to my place, we'll order a lady of the night and we'll loosen you up..."

"No!" Octavius flatly refused.

He turned to me and pointed his sword at me "Tell me who the man that defiled you was, and I won't cause corruption trying to find out"

I didn't feel so good all of a sudden...

"Jed...I don't feel so good..." I groaned in pain.

Jed went wide eyed "Oh hun, uhm...I don't know if this is because you've had your first time, or because you're scared out of your wits because of Octavius, but I have to ask you. What kind of don't feel good does it feel like?"

"Like someone's ripping open my stomach" I groaned.

"What did he do to her!" Octavius screamed at Jed.

"He uh...Wow...when did you have sex hun?" Jed asked.

"An hour or so ago maybe?" I said, before holding my stomach in pain and began to cry "It's on fire!"

"That's impossible! There's no way you could be!" Jed yelled.

"What? She could be what?" Octavius screamed in concern.

I also looked at Jed in wonder. I could be what?

He looked at the both of us and held his stomach to explain.

"Pregnant..."
