The miscarriage (2)

Lena’s pov

I really wish there was a place where I could drown my sorrows and forget about everything that’s happening to me, I was getting fed up with the way I was being treated in the palace.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

I was a pregnant lady for crying out loud, there was no sign of sympathy in the eyes of the wolves as I was sent on endless messages.

It got me pondering if they were waiting to hear the news of my downfall so that they would bombard me with messages.

I sat down outside the palace tiredly, my fragile body could no longer carry the stress that came with it.

From the corner of my eye, I looked at Lady Claire as she was heading towards my direction, I sighed. I never knew my luck would be this bad.

Every time I see her there’s this uneasy feeling that I normally have, I think it has to do with the fact that she’s a meanie and my instincts that’s trying to sound warning bells on my head.

She came and dragged me from where I was

“You, this pathetic fool” she started.

I kept my calm as I watched her yelling at me, I would have given her a piece of my mind if I had a status that can match hers. This time she was considered to be the “Luna” while I was the “slave”.

She took me outside the palace and said

“I do not want to see you in the palace tonight, your presence irritates me”. She said

There was nothing I could do, although the action I got from Lady Claire did not amaze me in any way, I was surprised when she said I should not sleep in the palace.

The only place I know which could be considered a home was the library, it’s far from the palace and I could not start the journey to the library that evening.

I would have not been paranoid if it was only me that was going to suffer this, It would not be nice if the news spread around would be a pregnant lady attending the club and the end result was losing the only child that she had.

There was nobodg to accommodate me and I felt rejected, having no other option, I went in to the available bar and sat at the counter, feasting my eyes anywhere and everywhere.

I was so thirsty but there was nothing on me, tears almost came down my cheeks but I stayed strong and I kept a poker face on, trying to hide the pain that I felt.

A stranger came to where I was and gave me a drink, I looked at him, curiosity burned in my eye as I refused to drink it, I needed to be careful, who knows if the drink was poisoned anyways.

The stranger shook his head and smiled, his smile looked creepy, I was trying to wrap my head around the situation when he introduced himself to me.

“Derek” he said.

I looked at the one who called himself Derek in shock, who go around saying his name to any random person, I grew vigilant as I couldn’t understand the situation in front of me.

“What would you like to drink my lady?” He asked me.

I was speechless for some seconds.

“Who the hell is this guy and what does he wants from me??” The question keeps ringing in my mind.

Different thoughts ran through me at that instant, He had an innocent look but I could not be gazed by such look on his face because I had come to understand that even the one that’s innocent can be deadly at times.

Derek was surprised at the look on my face and was amazed that I had not answered him, I think he was trying to hide the look of anger on his face, because I knew he’s going to be angry at my action.

My stomach rumbles as I gave myself up to fate, silently, I prayed to the moon goddess hoping that nothing happens to my child.

A drink was placed in front of me as I looked at Derek in shock, obviously he was an inpatient guy, I had a bad premonition within me that the drink is spiked, I wave it up.

“Hope it’s not alcoholic?” I asked Derek

“It’s a cocktail drink” he replied

My eyes darted to Derek’s own and I realized that he was almost done with the drink.

I drank the “cocktail” drink and my mouth burned, I wondered if a cocktail drink was meant to taste this way.

“Never trust easily, you won’t know when you’re walking into a trap” Derek said then left the club immediately.

I was contemplating on what the words meant when I heard a sharp pain in my stomach region, I clutched to my stomach, with the pain I left the club and went to the place where I considered my second home – the library.

The only good thing about the library is that it is accessible at any point in time, I entered the library and made myself comfortable in one of the chairs.

The pain came in double folds as I was shaking, I do not know what was wrong with me, it looked like inside of my stomach was twisting

“Ahhhhh” I screamed out in pain.

I was sweating profusely, thank the moon goddess that I was the only one at the library at this moment else, I would not be able to explain my current situation to anybody.

The sweat was mixed with tears, I tried standing up to see if the pain would reduce yet it increased the more, I was at loss of what to do.

With little strength in me, I stood up and laid my body on the floor of the library.

This eased the pain a little as I heaved a sigh of relief, it was not up to an hour when the pain came intensively. I was too weak to endure the pain, the next thing that happened to me was darkness.
