Chapter 11

I couldn't do it. I couldn't walk through those doors and ask my father. I didn't want it to be true. It'd ruin everything. I felt a tear slip down my face. No. I didn't want this. This can't be happening to me. My eyes were becoming fountains I was crying so much. I just can't let this be true, how will I tell Evans. God, what about Jett?

"How can I tell everyone this is happening?" I whispered to myself.

"Yea, explain to me what the FUCK IS GOING ON!" I didn't hear Evans walk up to me.

"Oh, God. Evans, how much did you hear?" I just want to curl up and die, no matter what the fuck is inside of me.

"Ivory, I need you to tell me what the fuck is going on. Did Jett hurt you? I'll beat the ever loving sh-..." He stopped.

"Evans please stay there." My voice was shaking and tears started to form in my eyes. If anything I want to be the one to tell him, but first I want to know for sure myself.

"Ivory!?" He took a step towards me.

"PLEASE JUST STAY THERE!" I lost it. I just want answers. "Please let me figure this out." I looked up to see him. "Alone." He stood there in shock. I have to go talk to our father.

I quickly turned, opened the door and ran in. Once inside I rushed to find Lord Death's office. Everything is dark, its hard to tell where I am, and it doesn't help that my eyes are tearing up as I run through the halls. I kept looking left and right but I still couldn't find his office door. Why was this so hard? I'd been there a thousand times before. Finally, at the end of the corridor, I saw the familiar door. I started running faster. Hope spread through my body. Once I was almost there, a girl appeared out of nowhere and I came to an abrupt halt. I gasped and took a few steps back. No, no, no this can't be happening! Not here, not now.

"Why hello there old friend." She gave her sickening grin and a wink. "Long time no see."

"What are you doing here Sapphire?" My voice was shaking. I just kept slowly walking backwards but then I tripped and fell onto the floor. All the hope I had was gone.

"Take a guess. I'm betting you know exactly why." I knew but I didn't want to say it. I knew she hated me from the day Dominic chose me over her.

"Revenge."

"Ding ding ding! We have a winner! I knew you were a smart girl." She took a pause and shot me a sly look. "Or at least I used to."

"W-what do you mean?" That sentence sent shivers down my spine. I could barely stammer out a response.

"I know everything! All the secrets, all the lies, every single bit of it. I have almost enough information to tear your little 'happy' life apart." She laughed, and I felt my stomach drop.

"E-everything?" I needed to get a grip, I was showing that I was obviously scared.

"I believe this is yours." Sapphire drew out a playing card from her sleeve. I gasped and she laughed while throwing it to my feet. "Let's just say your precious brother had some help in figuring that out." I covered my mouth in shock. She told Evans? Oh no, this explains why he was looking for me.

"How?" I barely managed to get it out of my mouth. A thousand questions were racing through my head but I only managed to say that one word.

"Aw is little miss Ivory in shock? You know very well just how I got ahold of this information. I knew about it the second you did!" She smirked and starting laughing at me. "I'll tell you, you getting knocked up is perfect revenge material."

I felt my eyes start to water as my hand remained over my mouth. She just kept laughing. It echoed throughout the halls and it made me sick. My head started spinning. Why did this have to happen to me? If I wasn't so stupid maybe I would've thought straight, but no, I let my emotions control my actions. I wanted to disappear. Just crawl up into a ball and lock myself in a room. Suddenly Sapphire stopped laughing. I looked up, straining not to cry. She was staring straight behind me with a serious expression written on her face. I turned around and saw a shadow growing on the corridor wall. Hope resparked throughout my body.

"Ivory? Are you there?" I knew this voice. A smile spread across my face and I turned back to Sapphire. She was gone. She had disappeared into the shadows, putting my torment to rest for now.

"I'm here!" I had never been so relieved in my life. The owner to the voice turned the corner and I smiled at Jett. He had a panicked look on his face and my smile immediately dropped into confusion.

"Why the hell did you leave me?! I thought something terrible had happened!" He was running towards me. I remembered what happened and I suddenly felt very guilty.

"I'm so sorry, it's just you were so distraught I didn't kno-" I was cut off by him pulling me up into an embrace.

"Please don't scare me like that again." I barely heard him say that, but I did. It made me smile, but then I remembered. I was going to scare him again, especially if my suspicions were right. I pulled away from his warmth as I felt tears threatening to fall. "Ivory? What's wrong?"

"I-it's nothing, I'm fine." I had to pull myself together. I turned around and managed a fake smile but once I saw his worried expression, that smile completely vanished. I saw his eyes fall to the floor.

"You're lying to me. Please just tell me the truth." I wish I could just blurt out all my suspicions but I knew Jett was already having a hard time coping with his father news. "Is it because I'm related to that monster?" His voice was low and shaking.

"No, no not at all! Jett you're you, just because you share the same blood doesn't mean you are Dominic. I love you Jett, always." That was the most heartfelt thing I could say. I knew he needed to hear that and I saw his eyes lift to mine.

"I love you too Ivory, now please tell me the truth, even if it kills me I want to know." I knew he was serious. I took a deep breath and got an idea.

"Well this is the reason why I left so abruptly." I pointed to my father's office door. Jett was obviously confused and I let out a sigh. "Just come in with me, I think it's best you find out the truth when I do."

I could see his eyes get wide with the fear of the unknown. Jett had been through so much already today, if this was true then I don't know what he'd do. I felt fear spread across my mind at the thought for the worst. That Jett would leave me. I turned and pushed open my father's door. I felt Jett grab my hand as he followed me in. It made my nerves relax slightly but I was still afraid. Once inside, it took mere seconds for my father to notice our presence.

"Hello my dearest Ivory! Oh and hello Jett! What brings you two here?"

"Hello father, I-I came to ask you a question." I was so nervous. I felt like I was going to pass out, but I had to do this. I had to know.

"Ask away my dear! I'm surprised you're brother didn't come with you to learn some valuable information." He always seemed to confuse me. I knew in a second his mood would change entirely once I asked my question.

"Well um, I wanted to know, is it possible, you know since we're lab experiments," I trailed off with my sentence, afraid to say the next few words. I made my voice barely audible. "To conceive?"

I felt the room become so silent and still. Jett's eyes were wide and glued to the floor, it was no doubt he heard me. I could only imagine what was going through his mind. After what seemed like forever, my father cleared his throat. I looked up feeling my eyes begin to sting.

"Well Ivory, you're a normal girl. Just because you were grown in a test tube doesn't mean you can't do anything any other girl could. Same goes for your brother." He cleared his throat once more, the elephant in the room just kept growing. "Why would you like to know?" There it was, the question I was dreading.

"Um, I was just curious!" I sounded so fake. Jett slowly looked up at me and knew immediately. Shit, this wasn't going well.

"Ivory?" Jett's voice was uneasy, I knew what he was thinking. It was the same thing running through my head. I looked over to him with wide eyes. Tears were mere words away. "No, that's not possible. That was only a few days ago!" My father cleared his throat again and both of our heads turned to him.

"Well Ivory's got animal genetics as well as humans. Whatever happens with a fox could very well apply to her." This wasn't helping disprove my suspicion. "Ivory, why do you believe you are, um well, with child?"

"Well when I was fighting I kept feeling sharp kicks in my side. It couldn't have been the enemy because Jett hadn't even struck him. I was in midair. I felt that same sensation again at a later time and based on certain circumstances that's what I first thought was the problem." I had to look away from them. The chances of this not being true were getting slimmer.

"Well we can't know for certain until other symptoms kick in, unless," Unless? what did he mean? Was there more ways of figuring out what was going on then just waiting? "Have you seen Obsidian?" My stomach dropped.

"Y-yes." I knew where this was headed.

"What happened when you ran into him?"

"Well he accidentally touched my stomach and handed me a card." Oh no, if he's going to tell me to trust Obsidian's word then I'd be, without a doubt, pregnant.

"Was there anything on the card? If so please tell me what it said, it could be crucial to figuring this out." I felt the first tear fall. I knew where this was headed. Jett was looking at me with hopeful eyes but my next sentence would tear that hope to shreds.

"I-it said that my suspicions are right." The room fell into another silence and I couldn't take it. I fell to my knees, silently crying. Jett was standing completely still. He looked like he had seen a ghost. My father spoke to break the silence.

"Well Obsidian is normally right. Although, it isn't guaranteed. I still want you to come see me every week so we can be sure." I nodded. I still didn't want to accept it. Then I remembered. Obsidian had said something right before he left.

"Father, Obsidian spoke to me right before he left. He said something about 'double trouble'. Does that mean anything?" My father didn't say anything for a long time.

"Oh I'm sure it's just Obsidian being Obsidian! No need to worry." When he said that it sounded very forced, almost like he was hiding something. "Well I'm sure you two need to talk alone. Don't forget to come see me next week Ivory! Goodbye you two!" He pushed us out of the office and shut the door behind us. That was odd. I looked over to Jett and he was still just like a statue. Oh god, how was he taking all of this?

"J-jett?" I didn't know what he was going to do or say. I was so scared. If only I could know what was going on in his head right now.

"Why didn't you tell me?" His voice was cold and low. It gave me shivers.

"I-I was going to, but I didn't want to overwhelm you since you just found out about Dominic." My voice trailed off. It was like I had lost the will to speak. I choked out a sob. "I'm sorry."

"I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF I MIGHT BE A DAD!" He blew up and he had every right. I felt the tears keep coming and when I saw his eyes they were filled with anger and fear.

"I-I'm so sorry Jett. I was scared. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to lose you." I had to look away, the way his eyes looked were getting to me. This is all my fault.

"Do you really think I would do that? That I'd go that low and leave you? You said it yourself, I'm not my father." I clasped my hand to my mouth. He was right. I'd been so paranoid I wasn't thinking straight.

"Jett I-"

"Save it. I need to go home and process all this. I won't abandon you, that's my kid too. I'll find you when I'm ready to talk. I don't know what my mind will do right now and I'd rather not do something I regret. Bye Ivory." With that, he walked away. He rounded the corner and was gone.

I collapsed to the ground. I let go. Tears came raining down. My mind was jumping everywhere trying to make sense of what happened. Questions kept racing through my head but one stood out. Why me? Everything bad seemed to happen to me and the people I cared about. I just watched the love of my life walk away because I was stupid. Time just seemed to stop. Minutes, hours, hell maybe even days passed and I didn't know it. All I knew was I was sprawled onto the floor, crying my eyes out. I was vulnerable and I hated it. I didn't want to be here. I wanted to vanish and just leave the world and my troubles behind.

After an eternity, I finally stood up. I slowly walked towards the entrance. Once outside, I saw Evans pacing the grounds. He had waited for me. Evans spotted me in seconds. I saw his face light up as he ran towards me. I felt the tears stinging at my eyes. I thought I didn't have any left but here they were.

"Ivory! What the hell happened in there? I saw Jett come out pale as a ghost and when I asked him what happened he told me to just wait for you. I was going to anyways but I still want to know what's happening." I looked up with my red, swollen eyes. His face distorted into concern and fear. "Ivory, what's going on?" I lost it. I started to fall but Evans caught me. I just kept sobbing hysterically.

"Why me?" I could barely choke out the words between sobs. I looked up and saw his face was just as pale as Jett's.

"Ivory, I-"

"You already know. Sapphire's already told you and from the conversation I just had, she's right." I saw his face fall. It twisted into anger and rage.

"How the hell do you know Sapphire?" His voice was low and full of rage. I knew I'd have to tell him.

"She used to go to this school. When I met Dominic, she was with me and fell for him instantly. She used to be a good friend of mine but when Dominic chose me over her, she hated me. Soon after that, other students discovered she was a witch in hiding and ran her out of the school. I hadn't heard from her until today." I saw his eyes fill with more rage. I knew what was going through his head and I was scared to see the actions that followed.

"That bitch. I'm tired of hearing problems start in your life because of that asshole Dominic." His anger vanished and his face flooded with concern. He'd realized what I'd said. "I-it's true?"

"Y-yes." I avoided his eyes. I knew they had resparked with rage.

"I'm gonna kill him." He let go of me and stormed off. My eyes got wide with panic. Evans was letting his temper control him. Before I could say anything, Evans was gone.

So so so soooo sorry everyone! I love you tho and ahh please enjoy Im almost done with the whole thing i just havent had time to do anything.
