Chapter 11: SelenaTwo months had flown by and It looked like I was ready to give birth at any second. Like if you poked me I would pop open like a water balloon. I had decided not to get rid of the baby, even though half of it was Erol, but I know that I would be a good mother. I wanted a family. To recreate a family, like I used to have. Torn is a little furious with me for having lost my virginity to Erol. It was not my fault he had turned out to be so...so...evil, but then the last time I had seen his face made me wonder. At that very moment when he had seen me his face looked heartbroken when I threw the ring at his face. He looked sincere. It just confused me even more to think about it. The Sage told me that the baby was growing at an enormous rate. I can thank the eco inside of me for that one. He said the baby was strong and had a deep aura of red and dark eco, but he had also said that he could not feel no evil in the child. That was good. So I guess the typical nine month period I don't have to go through.

Life was tough. I was too different to live amongst the normal people. Even with Torn and Blade, I didn't feel...connected, I guess you could say. The Baron had stopped looking for us, so we could actually not hide that often, but we still took precaution. We only went out at night, unless an emergency. I sat on the bunk bed I had been offered. Not the most comfortable thing in the world, but I needed to sit. I wanted to sleep, but my stomach growled in protest.

"Hungry?" Samos asked a bit concerned. I wrinkled my eyebrows and shrugged. He was stirring something in a cauldron-looking thing. It smelled a bit funky and looked green. The smell made my face turn a sickly green. He took a ladle and scooped some in a bowl. He walked towards me. "Here. It's made of some herbs and spices. It will make you feel better and it's healthy. Try it." He insisted, his eyes were pleading. Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt me to try it...

"Thank you." I said politely. I held the bowl up to my nose and wrinkled it. I took a spoonful and swallowed it. Not as bad as it tasted. I started liking it with each bite I took. Before you knew it the bowl was gone, and I was full.

"Another?"

"No thanks, I'm full." I said in a light voice. Just then Torn walked through the door. To tell you the truth, we haven't gotten along since I found out I was pregnant. He tried his best to acknowledge me, but he didn't do it well. He wanted me so much to get rid of the baby, but I protested against it telling him I want to be a mother. He called my baby 'it' or things like 'the little abomination.' He had been fighting so much...and I have been contributing nothing of my own. I felt useless, like a dead horse.

"Hey Selena." He said sourly. I made a face. Then Blade walked in. Blade had always been comforting and always there when I needed him. He was so innocent. He was only fourteen years old and looked the age of sixteen. He was always too sweet to me. We've both helped each other over our mother's death. It was tragic. Fearful. Frightening. Painful. Dreadful. Everything...It was like everything passing before my very eyes, stunning me. Like a bright light shrinks your pupils and then you convulse. It's an emotion that no one can bear to withstand.

Blade waved at me, while Torn, Samos, and him were talking. I set my head back on the hard pillow. I then drifted to sleep.

I was staring at the bucket. People whispered. Many things to me. Unintelligible things. I looked at the bucket and ran for it and threw up blood. I woke up in a fright. That dream was so vivid and detailed, I thought it was real. It was pitch black.

"Ow. Ow. OW!" I screamed. My breath quickened. The lights turned on, blinding me.

"What? What is it, Selena?" Blade asked as he ran towards me.

"I think I am going into labor!" I screamed. This was just perfect. Samos wasn't even here. And just when I thought luck had run out, Samos ran threw those doors.

"I had a strange feeling that you were giving birth." He said calmly, like it was easy to blow off.

"Just help me!" I winced. It hurt. The pain. The next thing I remember is seeing nothing but blackness.

I woke up hours later. Was all that a bad dream? I touched my stomach when it felt flatter than normal. I gasped.

"Are you awake?" Samos asked. He held something. My baby? It moved in his arms.

"Congrats sis, it's a girl." Blade beamed. I smiled as the abay was handed to me. She was gorgeous. She had beautiful blue eyes and a brown-orangish hair. She was beautiful.

"She has your eyes." Torn commented in a nice manner. Maybe he wasn't mad anymore.

"What are you going to name it?" Blade asked impatiently.

"Give her some time, she had a rough night." Samos chided. I kissed her forehead and hugged her. I am so glad I kept it. She is mine. All mine, and nobody can take her from me. I thought about the name and I looked in her blue eyes and I seen her and I seen Erol in her eyes. The name instantly popped in my head.

"Arolena," I said. "Her name is Arolena."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I didn't feel like writing it for nine months so I decided to speed up the birth.
