Two months later
As the months went on, Aleena didn't see Mephiles. She has guilt and she has been feeling ill. Aleena walks to Charlotte's study scared on what is wrong with her. She walks in, closing the door and over to Charlotte who looks at her worried.
"Aleena." Charlotte says. "How may I help you?" Charlotte then asks
"I have been feeling really sick in the last two months." Aleena tells Charlotte.
Charlotte sighs as she walks closer.
"Is there anything I need to know?" Charlotte asks.
"You cannot let Jules know." Aleena tells her.
"Of course." Charlotte says.
"When I was with Mephiles, we had sex." Aleena tells her softly as she takes her bracelet off, sitting it on the table by them.
Charlotte sighs as she places her hand on Aleena's belly. A light blue light appeared and Charlotte sighs as it disappeared.
"You are two months pregnant." Charlotte whispers.
Aleena looks at her shock.
"Oh Chaos." Aleena says in horror.
"What do I do? If Jules find out, he's going to kill me." Aleena says.
"Aleena." Charlotte says worry.
"I need to get away, I need to leave." Aleena tells Charlotte with fear in her voice as she grabs her bracelet.
"I'll get in contact with Violet Fox, get her and Nathan can help you. We'll have to come with a plan to get you away for the next seven months." Charlotte tells her. "Go, rest, I'll take care of this."
"Okay." Aleena whispers as she walks off.
She walks back to her room and lies down on her side of the bed. She had her back to the door. Aleena sits her bracelet down sighs.
'Jules is going to kill me if he finds out I have cheated on him with Mephiles and who knows what will happen to Mephiles.' Aleena thinks.
"Aleena." she heard Jules says.
Jules then walks over and sits down, facing her. Aleena gives him a weak smile.
"Are you okay?" Jules asks worry.
"I am fine." Aleena replies.
"What's on your mind?" Jules asks, seeing something.
"This life, it's not me." Aleena tells him.
Jules helps her sit up.
"I'm not use to this, even though how long I have been here, I'm not yet." Aleena adds.
"Is there anything I can do?" Jules asks.
"No, I just need time." Aleena tells him.
Jules then pulls her into a kiss.
"I do love you." Jules says.
"I know you do Jules." Aleena says. "I love you too."
"You coming?" Jules asks.
"No, I'm going to rest. I haven't been able to sleep very well." Aleena replies.
"Okay, I'll be back to check on you." Jules tells her as he got up and walks off.
Aleena gets up and walks to the window.
"Hello Aleena." she heard Mephiles says.
Aleena turns around to see him right behind her.
"Mephiles." Aleena says as she walks closer.
Mephiles saw something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" Mephiles asks.
"I'm pregnant." Aleena replies. "You are the father." Aleena adds.
"Come home with me." Mephiles tells her.
"I can't." Aleena whispers. "Jules would find out and I can't leave him, not yet." Aleena tells him.
"Aleena, please." Mephiles pleads.
"No Mephiles. This is hard for me too. I love you so much, but I can't leave Jules like this." Aleena tells him.
Mephiles pulls her into a kiss.
"Please Aleena, come home with me." Mephiles pleads.
"Aleena." they heard Jules calls.
Aleena runs to the door as Mephiles hides behind the screen. Aleena then opens the door to see Jules with Charlotte.
"Yes." Aleena says smiling.
"Charlotte is here to see you." Jules tells her, then walks off.
Aleena lets Charlotte in and closes the door.
"I might have a plan." Charlotte says as Aleena walks to the window.
"What is it?" Aleena asks.
"You go and stay with Violet and Nathan, Rosemary and Amadeus will also be there for you. You stay there till you have the child, they said Mephiles can visit and stay if he can. They will keep you safe and once the baby is born, Mephiles take him or her back with him while Amadeus heals you." Charlotte explains.
"That is a plan." Mephiles says walking out.
"Will Jules buy it? I mean, what do I tell him?" Aleena asks.
"We can try, I'm sure you can think of something." Charlotte tells her. "I'll leave you to talk." Charlotte then says walking off.
Aleena sighs as Mephiles walks next to her.
"Aleena." Mephiles whispers.
Aleena turns to face him.
"I'm scared Mephiles." Aleena tells him.
Mephiles sighs as he pulls her into a hug.
"I will be right by you, I promise." Mephiles says.
Aleena smiles.
"You better go, if Jules or a knight see you, this plan will never work." Aleena tells him.
Mephiles lets her go and pulls her into a kiss.
"I love you." Mephiles says.
"I love you too." Aleena says.
Mephiles then disappeared in a purple mist. Aleena takes a deep breath and heads to the throne room to see Jules. She walks in to see Jules sitting on his throne with three knights and a hedgehog on his knees; he has emerald green fur, purple eyes and is wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt, black pants, brown boots and white gloves. Aleena knows him.
"Thomas Milles." Jules says. "You have been found guilty."
"Jules." Aleena says as she walks over and stands next to Thomas.
"Aleena." Jules says a bit irritate.
"What did he do?" Aleena asks.
"It doesn't matter." Jules tells her.
Thomas then gets up, pulling out a dagger from his boot and grabs Aleena, placing the dagger blade to Aleena's throat. Aleena gasp, feeling the sharp blade.
"Tom." Aleena whispers.
"Let her go!" Jules tells him.
Thomas smiles.
"Don't follow us or I'll slice her throat open." Thomas tells him as they started walking back. "Come on." Thomas then whispers into Aleena's ear.
"Aleena." Jules says worry.
"Jules." Aleena whispers.
They walked out. Thomas puts the dagger down. The pair kept walking.
"I know a way out." Aleena says softly.
"I was hoping you would say that." Thomas says smiling.
"Just, follow me." Aleena tells him.
Thomas chuckles.
"Some things don't change." Thomas says. "You're still that trouble girl that is always getting what she wants." Thomas adds.
"Not all the time." Aleena whispers. "Keep up." Aleena tells him.
They came to stairs and Aleena showed him the secrete way out. They then came to a metal gate and Aleena grabs the key that is hidden above the door frame.
"There is something you are not telling me, old friend." Thomas says as Aleena opens the gate.
"No, there isn't." Aleena whispers as they walk through.
Aleena then locks the gate and puts the key on top of the door frame. They then headed off and the warning bells finally started ringing. They made it to the west side and ran through the forest. They ran and ran. After a while, they stop by a large tree.
"Now what?" Aleena asks.
"I go." Thomas says, pulling out a necklace.
It was a love heart gem on a thin string. It was her mother's.
"I am sorry to be the one to tell you Aleena, but you parents are gone." Thomas tells her.
Aleena looks at him shock.
"How?" Aleena asks with tears in her eyes.
"Our village was attacked by bandits." Thomas tells her as he puts the necklace on her.
Aleena sighs as she takes her bracelet off, hooking it to her dress.
"Thank you, Tom." Aleena whispers.
Thomas places his hand on Thomas's forehead. Aleena falls unconscious and Thomas catches her, lying her under the tree.
"Goodbye my friend." Thomas says.
He then runs off, hearing someone. Then, Sir Andrew runs over with four other knights. Sir Andrew saw Aleena and puts his sword away as he rushes to Aleena.
"Aleena." Sir Andrew says whispers.
"Is she okay?" a knight asks.
"She's alive, I have to take her back." Sir Andrew says as he picks Aleena up bridal style "Keep going." Sir Andrew tells them.
He then runs off and heads to Charlotte's study. He runs in and Charlotte looks at him shock.
"Lay her down." Charlotte tells him.
Sir Andrew lies Aleena down and Charlotte sighs.
"Get the king." Charlotte tells him.
Sir Andrew runs off and Charlotte places her hand on Aleena's forehead and smiles. She then scans her for any injuries and sighs with relief when she found nothing. Then Jules rushes in and over to Aleena.
"Is she okay?" Jules asks worry.
"She is fine, just asleep. I found no injuries." Charlotte tells him.
Jules sighs with relief.
"Good, very good." Jules says. "I would like to take her to our room." Jules tells Charlotte.
"Of course, there is no need to keep her here." Charlotte says.
Jules picks Aleena up bridal style and took her to their room. He lies Aleena down and kiss her on the forehead, then leaves her alone. When Aleena woke, it was late in the afternoon. Aleena sits up and looks around confused. Then Sir Andrew walks in and Aleena smiles.
"Aleena." Sir Andrew says walking over to Aleena.
"Andrew." Aleena whispers as she stands up.
"Do you want me to take you to Jules?" Sir Andrew asks.
"Please." Aleena replies.
"This way." Sir Andrew says walking off.
Aleena follows him. She follows Sir Andrew to the knights' room to see Jules standing at the head of the long table with a group of knights.
"Aleena." Jules says smiling as Aleena walks over to him.
Jules pulls her into a hug.
"I have been so worried." Jules tells her
"I'm fine Jules." Aleena whispers.
Jules let her go and places his hand on her shoulders.
"Did he hurt you?" Jules asks worry.
"No, Thomas would never hurt me." Aleena tells him.
"How do you know that?" Jules asks.
Aleena sighs.
"He's an old friend." Aleena replies.
"He has magic." Jules tells her.
"I know, since we were little." Aleena admitted. "Magic has kept our village safe for years, when I was 14, Thomas saved my life." Aleena tells him, then sighs as she looks away, remembering what Thomas told her.
"What is it?" Jules asks worry.
"I need to go home." Aleena tells him as she looks at him. "Thomas said our village was attacked and my parents were killed. I have to go and see for myself." Aleena explains.
"Sir Andrew, get a group ready, we leave as soon as we can." Jules tells Sir Andrew.
"Yes my lord." Sir Andrew says, then walks out with the group of knights.
"I have to go Jules." Aleena tells him.
"I know, let's go and get ready." Jules says.
Once they got ready, they headed off. Aleena rest her head on Jules' back. The rode for hours and through most of the night, but stop to take a break. Aleena was lying with Jules; Jules was on his back and Aleena is snuggled into his side.
"Thank you." Aleena whispers.
Jules smiles as he wraps his arm around her.
"Anytime, my love." Jules says.
Aleena closes her eyes.
