Tezza: What can I say? I'm evil myself. Well maybe it wasn't the universe that did it, maybe it was something else entirely? Oops! I might be just giving the plot away. Thanks, glad you like the story so far. Hope you enjoy this next chapter?
Thea101: Hello. As I just said, yes I am evil :D yeah, I decided to put that little twist into the story because it was starting to get a little boring. Yeah sure, if you want help with your fic just send your ideas to me and I'll be glad to help, I'm actually starting to get a little bored with this one. Don't worry, I'll keep on updating though.
Anyways here is the next chapter, hope you guys like it?
************************************** PART 18 **************************
"I'm sorry." I start, looking at my son in disbelief. "Could you please explain that again?"
Deven takes another deep breath and lets it out in a sigh. He takes another deep breath and then answers.
"Hannah is pregnant with the real Dark Prince." He says.
"So…when he is born the human world will be destroyed?" I ask again bewildered.
"Well, not as soon as he's born, just a couple of days after. He has to grow up like me, and then destroy the human world." Deven says, explaining to me as though I am a mere child of eight instead of eighteen.
"You mean that he'll grow just as quickly as you did?" I ask.
"Yes." he looks at me apologetically.
"Then…why were you born?" I ask. "Not that I'm not glad that you're here. I mean…you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. But why were you born if not to destroy the world?"
"I was born to save the world." He says. "Thierry just got the prophecy wrong. The prophecy states that the child born of all species, which is I, will destroy the Dark Prince. Not the world. I'm to save the world, not destroy it. Everyone just got the prophecy wrong."
"So…the spell Saulmann did on you was useless anyways?" I ask, catching unto something.
"Yes. But there is no known spell to change the real Dark Prince." Deven explains.
"But…my mother predicted that I'd give birth to the Dark Prince, not Hannah." I protest.
"She lied. She actually predicted that her ex husband, your father's, brother would have a daughter who in turn will give birth to the Dark Prince." He tells me.
"But why did you make it so that Hannah could have a child?" I ask.
Deven is obviously starting to loose his patience with me asking all these questions.
"Look Mother." Deep breath. "I made it happen so that she wouldn't give birth to the Destroyer, another name for the Dark Prince. But unfortunately I found out that she's now pregnant again. Thierry never slept with her this time to get her pregnant, but it's his son too."
"Shouldn't we tell them?" I suggest.
"Good idea. I think that it would be for the best. And try not to let Hannah get attached to the child. It'll make it easier for me to kill the child."
I get up off the bed carefully so as not to disturb Miles, and I start to the door with Deven close on my heels.
* * * * * * *
After walking through a labyrinth of hallways, we come to a stop in front of my cousin and cousin-in-law's bedroom door.
"They're going to think we're insane coming here at- what time is it?" I say.
Deven looks at his watch.
"It 's seven o'clock." He replies.
I knock on the door and wait for a reply.
"Come in." I hear a muffled voice, which I can't tell if it was Hannah's or Thierry's.
Both Deven and I walk in through the door and see the silhouettes of Hannah, Thierry and Nariko's cot in the semi darkness, the first rays of dawn coming through the tops of the thick curtains.
"Hannah?" I ask. "Thierry?"
"Hmpf?" someone muffles, again I can't tell who said it.
"I need to talk to you guys." I say, walking over to the bed.
"What about?" Hannah asks, the pillow muffling her voice.
"The Dark Prince isn't Deven." I get out in a rush.
"Really?" Hannah asks, the same time as Thierry says, "He isn't?"
"Yes, to Hannah's question and no to yours Thierry." I answer.
"Who is?" Hannah asks.
"Deven says that you're pregnant again Hannah, and that your son is the Dark Prince." I answer.
"I haven't slept with Thierry since before Nariko was born, so I can't be." She says.
"You didn't have to. But the baby's still Thierry's." I point out.
"I'm not pregnant." Hannah protests.
"Yes you are." I argue.
"No I'm not!" she says.
I turn on the lamp right beside the bed and pull the covers back. I take a good look and gasp.
"If you're not pregnant, then how do explain the big tummy?" I ask in a half whisper.
Hannah looks down at her stomach and gives a weird squeak. Her stomach has grown so that it looks as though she's at least four to five months pregnant.
"Goddess!" Thierry whispers, as he takes in the scene before him. Hannah looks from Thierry to me to Deven, then her eyes roll beck in her head, and then she faints. She hits her head slightly on the iron headboard.
"Ouch, I hope that didn't hurt?" I say.
"Let's talk about what the hell is going on here." Thierry says, fixing Hannah so that she's lying back down on the bed.
"Okay, fine." I say, sitting on the bed and gesture to Deven to tell Thierry the story that he told me.
* * * * * * *
A/N: All right, all right I was asked how Hannah could be pregnant with the real Dark Prince, and how something that evil could be born to two good people such as Hannah and Thierry. Well, not everything bad is born to bad people and vice versa, but just read the rest of the story (when I update) and you'll see how.
Anywho please review and let me know what you think? I'm starting to get a little bored with this story so that's why it probably sucks. I might start writing another one and do both of them at the same time, or something. I don't know, what do you think?
