Broken-Hearted Girl

Chapter 2- Changed

Zoey's Point of View

I walked towards the hall, the test was in my back pocket, my heart was beating fast. I was terrified now, I wasn't sure how to tell Erik that I was pregnant or what he would say, everything has changed now.

Erik, the Twins, Damien and Jack met me as I walked into the hall for the Dark Daughters Ritual, seeing Erik made me feel a little better but I couldn't seem to shift my nerves.

"Z are you okay?" Erik said as I joined him and the others

"I'm fine." I said with a small smile

"Well you sure as hell don't look it you look..."Erin said and Shaunee finished her sentence off as ever

"Like crap."

"Are you sure you're okay Z?" My Gay Friend Damien said

"Yeah I'm fine, just tired, it's been a long day." I said with a tired smile. I wasn't wrong when I'd said it had been a long day; I was trying to help my undead best friend Stevie-Ray; I had to sort out the Dark Daughters Ritual; to top it all off I just discovered I was pregnant, god my life is complicated

The ritual finished and my world started to spin as Erik screamed in pain, I ran over to him, panicking that his body was rejected the change and that he was dying and I couldn't lose him. I loved him and there was no way I could bring our baby up alone.

Erik didn't die, his body wasn't rejecting the change, he was turning into an Adult Vampyre. His mark looked different, so amazing, so beautiful. He went with the others, leaving me alone in the room with my thoughts. Tears started to flow as it finally set in what was happening to me, I'm Pregnant. Mine & Erik's lives are over now, we're no longer us, our own person now that we've got a baby to care for. Erik is so talented, how can I possibly ask him to give up his future for me? oh I'm so confused, someone help me.

"Zoey are you okay?" Loren's voice came behind me, I turned to face him, my face was bright red and stained with my soft hot tears.

"Zoey please tell me what's wrong, I hate seeing you like this." Loren wiped the tears from my face. I liked feeling his warm hand on my face a little too much.

"It's all such a mess, everything." I said through my tears

"Everything is going to be okay Z, I promise." Loren said, calling me Z made me feel strange, then he placed his soft lips to mine. We broke from the kiss, my mind was cloudy, I kept trying to think about Erik and Our baby but I couldn't, they had disappeared from my mind. Then Loren cut his neck I drank his sweet blood, I heard Heath scream in my head.

"Your imprint with the Human has been replaced by ours." Loren said before I stupidly had sex with him.

I lay there next to Loren, my mind was racing, what have I done!
