Plan Discovered!
Lately I've not been feeling so good. Not understanding why, I kept it all too myself. I wish I could talk it out with Orihime, I'm sure she'd know what's going on with me. If not, I'm sure her powers would be able to find out what is wrong with me. Sighing, I fell back onto my bed. I placed a hand to my stomach were I had been feeling nausea. I may not have puked but that's because I have a strong tolerance against it. But that doesn't stop me from tasting it on the tip of my tongue.
Groaning I looked up at the ceiling. Lifting my hand I toyed with the light as it blinked off and on with the flick of my finger. Tilting my head, I turned it off and then focused a little of my power at the fingertip. I watched as a small ball of yellow light formed. Frowning, I saw that just the small ball of light was so bright that it had seeped into every shadowed corner of my room. Too startled to maintain focus, the light popped as if it were a balloon. The room was again swallowed in darkness.
What the hell is going on with me?
Damn it, I really need to see Orihime.
Jumping off the bed, I crossed to the wall that would most certainly take me over to Orihime's little prison. Closing my eyes, I released my breath and then pressed my hand to the wall. Slowly it sank as if the wall had become liquid to my touch. Looking back at the door, I quickly made my through into the wall. Looking out, I could still see everything but it's just blurred at the edges. Nobody suspected anything as no one entered my room, so I turned around and slipped through the walls. Each wall I travelled through, I could see nothing but darkness until I neared the edge of the wall.
Looking around, I jumped out and quickly jumped into the wall opposite. I raced through, feeling Orihime's reiatsu and then directing my movements on that feeling alone. A didn't see a light ahead of me, but I did feel the edge of the wall. I stopped short and looked inside the room. It was dark inside of it that at first I thought I had come to the wrong one. But when I focused a little, I could feel her reiatsu within. Looking around a bit more, I spotted her orange hair as she stood within the moonlight that came in through the bars on her window.
Glad that I had found her, I sighed in relief. I stepped out from the wall, and nearly collapsed. I gripped the table near me to steady myself. Nausea played in my stomach and this time I had the urge to really puke. But I didn't.
'Shit…' I muttered, startling Orihime enough for her to turn around.
'Sylvia-chan,' she said hurrying over to me. Her arms reached out and caught me before I fell. 'Are you alright?' she said hurriedly with worry.
'I just don't feel so good,' I respond.
'Here, let me help you.' And help me she did. She took me over to the sofa and settled me down on it. She wouldn't permit me sitting up, so she made me lie down on a really comfy cushion.
'Orihime, could you use your powers to see what's wrong with me?'
'You've probably just got a bellyache.'
'I wasn't aware that bellyaches give me the reason to want to puke almost every morning.'
'How long has this been happening?'
'About a month now…'
Without even uttering the words, her power responded to her and covered my entire body in its orange glow. I felt the warm of it against my skin and suddenly I felt sleep dawning on me. But I refused to go down into that darkness. I needed Orihime just like she needed me. I'm not sure which one wanted the other more, but I definitely know that we need each other.
Orihime's face turned into a frown for a split moment before her eyes widened. Her eyes looked into mine, fear slowly breaking through as if she didn't want to tell me what she's found out. For some reason, her fear ignited my own. Perhaps I didn't want to know what's wrong with me. But I do have that feeling I would have to put up with this for a while. So I do want to know what's going on with my body.
'When did you…?'
'Orihime, what's wrong?'
'When did you have…it?'
''It'? Orihime, what are you talking about?' I asked and sat up, despite her protests.
She sat down on the sofa, playing with her fingers and not even looking at me. Whatever 'it' she was talking about, she must have decided I must not have had it. Wait… Have it? Have is the past tense of had, and occasionally it can refer to a good few things. Since Orihime isn't used to saying one of the terms that 'it' replaces…it couldn't be!
'Orihime,' she looked at me, fear still shining in her eyes. 'Are you on about sex?'
She nodded, hesitantly.
'I never had sex, you know I never did.'
'Sylvia-chan, promise me you won't freak out.'
I can't promise that when she's starting to scare me. Normally I don't get scared, but where this conversation is going, yeah I'm definitely getting scared. What has sex got to do with my problems? Why does she say that I've had it? Why do her eyes look at my disbelievingly? No, more like fear of what she's realised. If I've not had sex and she's definitely sure that I've had it, could it mean that I've been raped?
'Orihime, what's the matter with me?' I say in regarding to the problem that I've asked her help for.
'Sylvia-chan, in normal circumstances I would have congratulated you. But you're… you're pregnant.'
I shot up from the sofa, breaking the shield that had diagnosed my problem.
'WHAT?' I snapped. 'How the hell did I get pregnant?'
I started pacing, worrying cloaking me.
'Sylvia-chan, calm down…'
'I can't be pregnant, I'm still a virgin. I can't be pregnant…'
'Sylvia-chan…'
'No, no, there must be some mistake.'
'Sylvia-chan…'
'There must have been some mistake with the reading. I seriously cannot be pregnant.' I groaned and stomped my foot. 'THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THAT I'M PREGNANT.' I turn towards Orihime. 'Are you sure you read it right?' I asked/pleaded as I took her hands in mine.
'I-I'm positive…'
I started pacing again. 'So I was raped when I was sleeping or unconscious, which got me pregnant. But who could have done it? There are a number of people, well suspects, and it might not be even anyone from here.'
'SYLVIA-CHAN!'
I looked at Orihime, finally realising that she had been in the same room as me. Her chest heaved up and down as if she had been trying to get my attention for a while.
'Sorry, Orihime…' I say guilty and sat on the sofa besides her.
'Let's think about this, Sylvia-chan. Is there anyone that's been acting different?'
'Well that goes for everyone here…' Realisation dawned on me. Is that why…? Is that why everyone's been so soft and gentle with me? Is that why father hasn't been willing to shout at me? Is it because they all knew I was pregnant?
'Oh-my-god…'
'What's the matter Sylvia-chan?'
'Someone from here impregnated me…' I say turned to her. 'What do I do, Orihime? I'm pregnant with a hollow.'
'A-a h-hollow?' she said completely shocked. 'I thought they couldn't even do anything like that.'
'I thought that too…' and then it hit me. 'Hang on, Orihime; I think I know how to find out who done it.'
I walked towards the wall I had come out from.
'Where are you going?' Orihime asked standing up from the sofa.
I looked over my shoulder at her. 'I'm just going to visit my little doctor.' She looked at me confused. 'I'll be right back,' I say and walk through the wall.
Darkness completely swept over my sight as I raced through. Every now and then I'd see light, but only sometimes would I come out of the wall, into the corridor, only to go back into the wall on the other side. I know exactly who I was going to see. The very person knows everything to do with it, the very person who would tell me everything I need to know, it could most likely be the very person may have done or knows who had done it.
I barge into Szayel's laboratory from the wall, but his back remained to me. He must not have heard him come in. Well duh, I didn't go through the door!
'Granz,' he jumped, smashing some jars and turned to face me. 'We need to talk.'
'What about, Sylvia-sama?'
'What are you so nervous about, Granz?' I paced around him, like any predator would when facing their prey. Tonight, Szayel is my prey.
'Nervous, Sylvia-sama…?' he said nervously.
'Start talking, Granz, you're driving my patience in.'
'T-there's nothing to talk about…'
Suddenly I had his throat in my hands and I slammed his head on the table. My eyes blazed, I could feel the change happening in them. A change I don't even know about. I gripped tighter, choking him. I felt his hands trying to pry my fingers off from him, but I just tightened instead. Anger boiled inside of me. It must have been that change, but it feels different. Really different! I've never felt such anger at such intensity within me before. What's enhancing it?
'I know about it Granz, you might as well tell me.' I slightly loosened his throat so he could speak.
'Y-you know?' I just nodded. 'You know about the baby?' So Orihime hadn't read it wrong. I must remind myself to apologise to her later.
'Yes, Granz, I know about the baby.' I must not have looked shocked as he seemed to have understood I really did know about the kid within me. 'Now tell me, how the fuck have I got a baby inside of me?'
'Reproductive system, Sylvia-sama, you were once a human.'
'Oh, so that gives someone the right to impregnate me through rape?' He didn't respond. 'Who was it, Granz? Who impregnated me?'
'I'm not supposed to disclose the information to you,' he said fearfully.
'WHO IS IT, GRANZ?' I shouted.
'I did, Sylvia-sama.'
I turn towards the voice and shock really shocked me. I dropped Szayel and just stared at him. Him, out of all the hollows! It had to be him? The anger within me changed into disgust. I stepped away from Szayel, only to step away from him. He stood there like usual. Hands shoved in his pockets with an impassive expression on his face. Those green eyes were just staring as if he had every right. So before when he had realised something when we first met… He must have known I was the one carrying his child? But how could he have not known when he's the one that raped me?
'You expect me to believe that?' I told him furiously.
'Tell her, Szayel,' he said turning his green eyes onto the pink haired Espada.
'Sylvia-sama, Ulquiorra-san is right. He is the father of your child.'
I turned and glared at him. 'Are you saying he's the one who raped me?'
'I did not rape you.'
I turned and glared at him. 'How else do you get a woman pregnant?'
'I infused his sperm into your egg when you were asleep,' Szayel explained and then whimpered under my scrutinising gaze. 'I was ordered to by Aizen-sama!'
As if mentioning my father will stop me from killing him. I stepped towards him, only to be cut off by Ulquiorra standing in front of me. I hadn't even noticed him moving until he stood before me.
'Out of my way…' I said through gritted teeth.
'Aizen-sama will not permit me allowing you to just kill a fellow Espada.'
'Like I care what my father permits or not.'
'Ulquiorra-san,' the green eyed Espada turned to face him. 'Sylvia-sama isn't supposed to be getting all stressed up, not since the pregnancy is still in the danger zone.'
He suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me out the room.
'Hey…'
I was too shocked to do anything but allow him to pull me out of the room. I could barely keep up with his fast walking pace as I kept tripping over my feet every now and again. Why does he care about all of this? Hollows aren't supposed to have any kids, it's just not possible. Hollows also don't have those parental symptoms to even look after a child, especially not this one. So why is he the one that has gotten me pregnant?
'Where are you taking me?'
'To Aizen-sama,' he replied but didn't elaborate.
'Wouldn't that be a bad idea?' Although he made no sound to be listening, I could tell he was. 'I'm always having arguments with my father. Wouldn't that be classed as giving me stress?'
He stopped, almost causing me to bump into him. He still held my wrist, this time a little too tightly. He looked over his shoulder at me. I could practically see the thoughts running through his head. So it seems that he did at least a little to put my stress levels into consideration. I looked away from his eyes, already feeling like a maggot through his eyes. He must hate me being the mother to his child. But then again, why would he even have agreed to impregnate someone in the first place? With the time I've known him; I know it's just not like him at all.
'Are you planning on killing the life of the child?' he asks fully turning to look at me.
'What…?' My eyes widened in shock. He's accusing me of wanting to kill an innocent life. 'Just who do you think I am?' I said angrily.
He blinked.
'I don't go round killing innocents like you hollows do.'
'Seems I do not yet understand you, Sylvia-sama…'
'Damn right, and don't think just because you're the father of my child that you can get to know me.'
'Aizen-sama will most likely have me accompany you every day since you now know.'
'So I could have avoided you as long as I didn't know of that blasted secret?'
'Yes,' he replied, impassively.
Clenching my fists I felt myself shake in anger. So all of this… I could have avoided all this interaction with him as long as I stayed oblivious to the secret. Gritting my teeth, I felt anger at my father and at everyone else, especially at Ulquiorra. How dare he do this to me! How dare anyone do this to me!
'Sylvia-sama…'
I ripped my wrist out of his hand. I didn't look at him, only down at the floor. How can I look at this man? How can I after all that's he done? Biting my lip, I turned around and ran. I ignored all around me, I ignored everything. I just felt the wind around me and I sped up. I passed through walls with my ability. I didn't stop, not even when I had come out underneath Hueco Mundo's dark sky. I raced across the cold sand, not caring how much of a trail I left in my wake. All the dead passed me as I continued further and further out. Losing myself to my emotions, I only stopped when Las Noches was nothing but barely a dot in the distance.
I turned to look behind me, my breath running out ragged and in harsh gasps. Blurry eyed, my tears were dispelled from my tear ducks. Collapsing onto my knees, I leaned forward, covering my head in my hands, I sobbed, dispelling all of my raw pent up feelings into it.
