Rose of Decade~ {Chp.23} ~

Hizaki P.O.V.

My prince seemed to be rather bothered as we stopped. He knew we weren't there yet, unlike me, though I could have guessed because of the rough halting of the carriage. Apparently my prince his vampire senses had noticed the fact of my heart beating wildly within my chest. He kissed me softly; something sweet and comforting, something that made me have small butterflies in my belly.

I sighed and placed a hand on my belly, smiling softly; though that quickly dropped as the small carriage door opened and cold wind rushed in making me shiver from the coolness it carried with it.

I could hardly understand what happened next; my hair was grabbed harshly and I was pulled outside, stumbling down onto my knees, wincing as that certainly hurt my belly. Worriedly I placed a hand on my belly, rubbing it softly, gasping as my face was turned upwards because of a rough tug at my long hair.

My hands stayed on my belly, afraid of them starting to kick it. I prayed for a miracle to happen, feeling very upset as they started to make fun of me.

Worry was probably one of the strongest emotions at that point; I wished for a healthy child but…they could easily kick me and…I did not dare to think of more things that might have happened.

A gasp left my lips as my prince had suddenly and very quickly gotten rid of those horribly, what I assumed were, men. How did he do that? Did he not feel sorry for those men? Were vampires really heartless so that they could kill like that?

I shook my head at that thought; my prince had always been so lovely to me! Never could he be heartless! He had protected me just now…yes, he wanted to protect me!

I blushed and smiled thankfully as my prince as I was placed inside the carriage. Finally it was over! Again I rubbed my belly, sighing as I tried to calm myself. I was winding up far too much for a person that's going through pregnancy, but I can hardly do anything about the situations I always find myself in.

Just as I was about to ask if we would continue our ride a chuckle was heard making me pout. Why couldn't they just leave me alone? My prince seemed even more displeased; he must have had the same feelings as me about them popping up.

From that moment on I just…spaced out, softly rubbing my belly as I dozed off slightly; not falling to sleep…just daydreaming of what the future would hold for me and my little baby...and of course my master, my prince…Kamijo.

I was so oblivious to my surroundings; I only noticed someone pulling me into their lap as I was already sitting there, blushing as I looked up, gasping as I saw someone looking similar to my prince…but he had something dark; evil even.

As he placed a hand on my belly I was afraid; the only sound that left me was a whimper, of fear mostly. Oh god, what if he was some kind of wizard…and was bewitching my baby?

I gasped slightly as I heard the brother part. This person, who was holding me down, scared me senseless…Kamijo calms me...and yet their brothers? Not to forget to mention how much the other, Kanzaki, was stressing me and the unborn child.

I knew my prince could not see everything his brother was doing and gasped slightly as I felt my behind being pinched. Was this sick person actually…?

I was left speechless as my lover and his brother talked to each other, feeling like some kind of doll as I was put off his lap and got placed back to my original seat surprisingly gently.

I looked at Kanzaki in horror as he threatened my prince with my health. Honestly how can he do this to his own brother? They were such opposites!

My gaze never moved away from the other person within the carriage until he actually moved out. Somehow I wished to close the door and just stay within the carriage, try to block out everything that had happened in the past 20 minutes.

Of course I did not do such a thing, I did not want to lock out my prince and knowing these people were not human only would make me look like a coward; not that I am denying the fact that I'm a coward but…there is no need to give them another reason to make fun of me.

As much as I had tried to ignore those goons words from earlier, my mind still seemed stuck on some words…

Once more I rubbed my belly, sighing slightly as the conversation seemed to take a turn for a better atmosphere. Thank god I was not put in the spotlight anymore…

Prince how could you have a brother like this? Why had I not seen him before? Were you ashamed of him, or could you two just not stand each other?

Soon enough those 'bad' people left and my prince got back inside, smiling as the carriage started to move again.

With curious eyes I looked at my prince, wishing to ask those many questions, but I refused to do so. I was only here to please my master, my lover…Not to ask those bothersome questions!

I smiled as he kissed me, gladly kissing back, welcoming his lips more than anything after all the stress. The kiss calmed me and also claimed me, making me feel where I should be.

At Kamijo's side, not his brother's side…I notice it now more clear than anything…He is the one I want…other people do not matter to me anymore.

His arms around me, a hand on my belly while his chest was against my back…Such a nice feeling that is! I cuddled up to my lover and smiled, feeling him rub my belly softly; almost as if to make the memory of what Kanzaki had done earlier disappear.

It worked though, I calmed completely and I almost was able to forget everything that had happened. During the ride I fell asleep, smiling slightly as I felt save with my prince near.

Luckily nothing more happened; else I would have gotten stressed out again.

At some time though I woke up, groaning softly as hunger started to nag away at me. To my surprise I was in a white room, a vase with blood red roses standing on the table, together with another note from my prince.
