I hated the way Anthony was acting.
He always seemed to be frowning, or even glaring, and would hardly talk to me.
I didn't under stand it, He was here, I was giving him a place to stay, and yet he didn't seem to be happy with anyone, or anything. He seemed especially hostile towards, Aleya and Urban. He couldn't even look at aleya with out tensing, and turning away, and when ever he saw urban with in close proximity of me he would scowl and stomp away like a pouty child.
For the first few day that he acted like this I was concerned, trying constantly to figure out what was wrong, but now it had been a week and a half and A refused to act his age, and it angered me.
That day after, my doctors appointment, Urban, Aleya, Marcus, A, and I sat around in a small circle, eating pork and cheese, and various other foods.
Aleya was talking animatedly with marcus about Vere Obsidians recent visit to wyverns court, Anthony listened to their conversation, keeping his eyes on marcus the whole time, not daring to let his eyes stray to Aleya, He listened but said nothing, every few minutes glancing over at Urban and I. My head was laying in Urbans lap, I felt his right hand on my stomach, and his left softly running through my hair. He was humming softly, and beautiful song an I was beginning to fall asleep.
I rubbed my eyes, opening them just for a moment, but long enough to catch anthonys expression.
His eyes were trained on Urbans hand on my stomach, a scowl on his face. His mouth was twisted into a grimace, but his eyes had a certain pain in them, and it made me sad. I sat up lightly causing Urban to look down at me in concern, I smiled up at him, assuring him the everything was fine, and kissed him right below his ear, before standing and straightening my dress.
I looked at anthonys face and reached out my hand, "Anthony, could be talk for a moment, in private?" I asked as sweetly as I could not wanting to upset him, or cause any suspicion for the others in the circle.
He hesitated for a moment before taking my hand and standing. I looked at the faces in the circle before heading o the doors on the nest. Aleyas face was showing confusion, marcus was smiling at me, and Urbans looked slightly hurt. I smiled warmly at him, before opening the door to the nest and stepping out side, anthonys hand in mine.
As soon as we were out o the nest I pulled my hand from anthonys and sat on the steps, just as I hear the big door bang behind us, signaling now that we were alone and would not be overheard. I gave a small smile to Anthony before patting the step next to myself. "sit down, I wont bite."
He hesitated the slowly sat down looking at me with a curious expression, and I dived in not letting emotions get in the way, for getting that I might startle him with my straight forward ness.
"Anthony, what's the matter? Why don't you like Urban?" I asked quietly.
He sighed rolling his eyes slightly as if the answer was obvious, "Nothing, Cori, there is nothing wrong."
"you only answered one of the questions. Why don't you like Urban?" I was scared of how he might answer, but I needed to know.
"I don't, not like him, I don't know I just…" he hesitated.
"Just…what?" I asked desperate to know what was on his mind.
"He's changed you." he said quietly, slightly angrily. I was startled at his answer and his anger, and I tried to reply lightly, fighting to keep the venom out of my own voice.
"He hasn't changed me, Anthony, he has helped me…Helped me so much, in more ways than you know." I sighed just thinking of it made me smile, but then anthonys anger got the better of him, and he said something the cut me, and stung, making me want to cry.
"helped you, helped you how?" sarcasm was coating his voice making me want to slap him, "By getting you pregnant, by getting you pregnant with…with that…that…thing." he sneered pointing at my stomach. As soon as the words had escaped his mouth I saw the pain on his face, and he stuttered trying to apologize, but I cut him off.
"don't just…don't." I felt the tears run down my cheeks, hot and wet. "You, ummmm, you need to just go ok, just go." I said quietly pointing at the street, "Just leave!" I yelled at him, causing him to flinch, change form and fly up into the dark night sky.
