Kel hadn't spoken to anyone for a week. She hadn't eaten or drunk anything. She cried until she had no water left for tears, as she was shipped back to Corus. In Corus she snuck away from Neal, who had been guarding her since Dom's… she couldn't even think it, not that word. She climbed Balor's Needle. There was only one thing left to do; she had to be with Dom again. In the black god's realm, Dom screamed in anger.
"No! you have to live, not for much longer! But there is a reason. No Kel! NO!" He yelled. "STOP!"
Kel felt the wind in her hair. She could jump, and be with her Dom again. Neal, who was talking to Yuki, looked up. He yelled something that Kel couldn't hear, it didn't matter anyway, it would all be over soon. All of Kel's friends were running, but there was no way they would make it in time. In the Black God's realm, Dom sobbed with rage.
"Please Kel, don't, just a few months longer!"
Kel felt the pull of his words and stepped down reluctantly. She didn't know why, but she had to wait a little longer.
Kel was in a room surrounded by people. All the people she knew and loved.
"Kel, you have to talk to us." said Alanna. Kel didn't even look up. "Ok, not yet, but George has the sight and will make sure the room is secure once he arrives."
"Have some food." said Lord Raoul. But Kel didn't even move. All she wanted was Dom, not even Neal could get a word out of her. How could Dom be gone? Was it even possible? She had loved him so much. She started to cry, but no tears came out. This made her even sadder, and she sobbed harder. Neal tried to comfort her, but she just pulled away.
George entered the room and looked around. When his eyes rested on Kel, he gasped in shock. "Alanna, I need to talk to you outside the room for a moment."
Kel neither knew nor cared why they were so anxious, but Alanna came in and said, "Kel, I don't know how to put this, but when George looked at you, he said your stomach glowed purple, which means well, it means, Kel, your pregnant!"
A/N this is my attempt at a cliff hanger. Oh well, no worse than the first chapter, sorry about that. Oh I forgot- I own none of the characters or the realm- all of it belongs to Tamora Pierce.
