Abel and Leon stared at me for a second before laughing.
Leon looked down at me, as Abel wrapped an arm around my waist.
"That's the Earl of Memphis, Ion Fortna."
"But, can a vampire love a human?"
Leon smiled at me, then gave Abel a look before he said goodnight and went back inside.
Abel turned me to face him, giving me a strange look.
"What?"
He shook his head, and I could hear the lecture coming on.
"If a vampire cannot love a human, how can a Crusnik fall in love with a time traveling government experiment gone wrong?"
I looked away, realizing he was right; grabbing my chin lightly he made me look at him. Bending down he kissed the top of my head between my ears.
"Come on. It's time I introduced you to Ion, we're supposed to be escorting him back to the empire day after tomorrow."
"Oh we are?"
"Yes, that's what I was coming to tell you earlier."
I smiled as we turned to walk back inside, looking around I spotted him talking to a still distraught Ester.
Turning to Abel I smiled at him, pulling away from him, I approach the couple. Looking at Ester's cheek, I realized I had hit her pretty hard; she had a bruise forming already.
"You alright Ester? I didn't mean to hit ya that hard."
Ester glared at me, stood up and huffed off. Ion turned to me with a curious look in his eyes.
Abel walked up next to me and nodded to Ion.
"Ion this is Lilly, Lilly this is the Earl of Memphis, Ion Fortna."
I bowed to the vampire, he just stared at me. Striating up I gave the young vampire a look. He was attempting to glare at me.
"You made Ester cry."
Looking up at Abel I silently asked if I should get into this conversation, he just shook his head. With a sigh, I gazed at Ion again, before walking back to my room. Looking down I thought about what happened today, I was starting to feel like I wasn't welcomed. Rounding the corner I ran into someone. Falling back, I looked up at a man dressed in armor with light blue hair.
"Sorry, I should've looked where I was going."
The man knelt in front of me.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Lilly. Who are you?"
"I am brother Petro."
I smiled as he decided to help me up. I noticed him staring at my face for a moment before a slight look of concern crossed his features.
"What's wrong Miss Lilly, you look like you've been crying."
I sighed, looking at brother Petro I couldn't help but feel like I could trust him, before I could stop myself I was telling him everything that had happened with Ester and then Ion. With a light smile he offered to walk me to my room, which I gladly accepted.
Reaching my room, he smiled at me and walked off.
Entering my room I looked around and sat down on my bed.
I've been feeling off for a few days now, but I didn't mention it to Abel. Feeling dizzy I lay down and attempted to fall asleep.
The next morning I woke up to the feeling of being sick to my stomach, slowly standing up I made my way to the medical ward thing, using the wall as a crutch I made it about half way before I collapsed.
"Lilly? What happened?"
Looking up I saw Abel running to me. Crouching next to me, he felt my forehead and yanked his hand back.
"You're burning up."
Gently he picked me up; I curled into him, not enjoying the feeling of being weak.
Finally we reached medical, the doctor led Abel and I into a room, so he could take a blood sample.
Leaning against Abel, I let out a whimper when the doctor inserted an IV. Abel sighed as he petted my hair telling me that it would be ok.
With a light smile the doctor finished and walked off to run the test. Looking up at Abel I could tell he was just as worried as I was.
"Every thing will be alright Lilly."
"What if its not? What if something is seriously wrong?"
"Then I will help you recover, as much as I can."
I smiled at him, as we sat in silence for a minute.
"I told Ion what happened between you and Ester."
I looked up at him a curious look on my face.
"He apologized for the disrespect he showed you, and he would like to meet you again."
I smiled at him.
"I would like that."
That's when the doctor walked back in; smiling at me he asked Abel if he would wait outside of the room. With a nod Abel smiled at me and walked out shutting the door behind him. Turning to the doctor I waited for him to start talking. He smiled at me.
"Miss Lilly. For the most part everything looks good. This is the only problem I see, and I don't really know how to tell you without sounding to blunt."
"Just tell me doc, please."
He nodded.
"Your body is, for lack of better word, acting like it's pregnant."
"I'm sorry what?"
"When you were injected with the serum that turned you, it suppressed your hormones. Now that, that has worn off, and with you being around men 24 hours a day, your hormones are going nuts."
"So, how do I get to feeling normal again?"
"You won't get any worse, maybe a couple of dizzy spells, until you yourself become pregnant."
I sat back in shock, standing up the doctor wished me luck and let Abel back in. I put my head in my hands as I thought over what the doctor just told me. Abel sat next to me and asked what happened.
With a sigh I looked at him.
"It's complicated."
"What's going on Lilly?"
I sighed as I thought about how to word this.
"For me to feel normal again…I have to get pregnant."
He sat back with a look of shock on his face.
"Are you sure?"
I sighed again placing my head back in my hands I explained everything that the doctor told me.
"I'll just get the doctor to prescribe the medicine for the dizziness, that's all."
Abel sighed, I felt him stand up, bending down to make me look at him he gave me a quick kiss on the lips before leaving the room to find the doctor.
Sighing I stood up and received the medicine from the doctor, and then I made my way back to bed.
