Elizabeth's POV
I got up fom my place on the ground and staggered to the place where I had fallen asleep earlier. I gripped the amulet tightly.
"Now, how does this thing work?" I asked myself, before finding myself in an all too familiar dorm room.
"Elizabeth, what are you doing here?" I heard Syrus say from in frnt of me.
"I don't really know. I had a dream, Cedric gave me this, and now I'm here," I said, not mentioning the pregnancy out of fear. Syrus must have noticed, because when I looked up at him he had a look of concern on his face.
"Are you all right?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?"
"Because you look like something's bothering you. Or like you don't want to see me. Are you having second thoughts about what we did?" he asked. I walked over and sat down on the bed.
"Syrus, I'm fine. Nothing's bothering me and..."
"I know when you're lying to me," he said. I suddenly felt cornered, like I couldn't avoid telling him.
"I-I'm..." was all I could get out before breaking into sobs.
"Liz, what's wrong?" Syrus asked, taking me into his arms. I cried into his shoulder as he rubbed my back in a soothing manner. After a few minutes, I finally calmed down enough to get some air into my lungs.
"Sorry about that. Syrus, I want to tell you, but I'm scared. I don't want you to leave me," I said.
"Elizabeth, I will never leave you. I love you far too much and I know that I'd regret it if I did," he said. I gently grasped his hand and guided it down to my slightly bulging stomach. He hadn't noticed the bulge through my baggy clothes, and when he felt it, his eyes lit up.
"You mean you're..." he said. I nodded before feeling his arms around my waist. I was surprised to hear him laughing.
"You're happy about this?" I asked, a little surprised.
"Why wouldn't I be? I mean, you're carrying our child. This is a blessing," he said.
"Yeah, I guess it is," I said, smiling.
"You're two months along now, aren't you?" he asked.
"Considering we've only made love once, yes. Right to the day, too. Today's April fourteenth," I said.
"Which means that tomorrow's our anniversary," he said.
"That's right! I can't believe that I didn't remember," I said.
"Do you think that you could stay the night?" he asked.
"I don't know. Would if one of Lucifer's guards walks by and I'm not there?" I said.
"That won't happen," said a mysterious voice.
"Cedric?" I asked.
"Yes, it's me. Trust me, you'll be okay here for one night, but you'll be going back tomorrow at noon. Oh, and Syrus, take care of her or I'll go vengeful spirit on you!" he said.
"So, that was your brother," Syrus said.
"Yeah. Don't worry, he's just a tad overprotective," I said.
"I wonder how he's going to keep the guards from noticing that you're gone," he said.
In Hell
One of the guards passed by Elizabeth's cell and saw a figure sleeping in the corner, their back to the bars and their head tucked to their chest, as well as a small pool of vomit in the opposite corner. The reptile snorted in a disgusted manner.
"Note to self: get the black blood a bucket," he said before walking off. Meanwhile, a boy with white hair and striking green eyes was curled up in the corner in his sister's clothes.
"Elizabeth, you owe me big time," he whispered.
