sounds of lightning and stars

Chapter 26: our child



I opened my eyes the first thing I see is a disfigured corpse on a throne some of its limbs broken others look like a wild animal tore then off its face was gone only a skull remained its stomach was guted I noticed there was a lot of blood on its crotch area there was something missing I found the missing limb in the corpses throat

I moved away from the corpse I looked around to see all the elves huddled up some were crying while others looked at me with fear in there eyes a couple were happy to see the man die like that I realized where I was and that I had blacked out because of my anger

It wasn't the first time something like this happened to me I was getting bullied at school one day when I got so angry tears started to come out my eyes and I blacked out when I came to again one of the kids was on the ground while I had the other by his collar about to punch him before the supervisor stopped me the fucked up part is I got in trouble for that whole situation

Lazza and kal busted in with there rifles raised but seeing I was in here they lowered them and came over they noticed the corpse but didn't say anything they felt it was deserved " my king we have cleared most of the castle only the basements remain James is with the queen while wait for your orders " lazza said when she was close I nodded at her " lazza go to Elise and help her out of here I don't think she wants and male around her right now plus it would be nice to having someone who went through something similar tell James to head to the basement but wait for kal before he goes in " I say to her She hurried out back to Elise

I turned to kal " can you help them I don't think they will listen to me when that's done can you help James please "kal bowed then went over to the scared elves I made my way out shadow came out of the darkness beside me while icarus landed on my shoulder I pet both of them sighing I made my way through the castle to clear my head before helping

..1 month later.. I was in the old guest room I stayed in when I first stayed here Elise has been avoiding me since that day at the fortress I don't know what to do to help her when she won't even let me get to close to her it hurts very bad having her treat me like this even when we were strangers I felt closer to her all I can do is try to be there for her ill let her know I'm here for her when she is ready I got dressed and made my way to breakfast

Elise didn't sit by me anymore but were she did before seeing this could help but sigh looked at after we started eating but my mouth just hung open not sure what to say it's been a little more then a month and I can't think of anything to say other than I'm here for you gods why do I have to suck at this at a time when I really need it she got up and left without saying anything

I just had my head down as I ate " give her some more time she is trying to work through it " Elise's mother said softly I nodded at unable to keep my eyes from tearing up " I'm so sorry I don't know what to do excuse me" I said then left as well feeling like I failed them I went to go train with lazza,James and kal try to take my mind off of things

After dinner Elise went to the garden she was sitting on a bench nebula was on her shoulder resting while Elise pet her trying to relax when her mother sat next to " how are you feeling today my little girl" Elise sighed leaning on her mother " the same as the past month disgusted, tainted like i want to puke " her mother started rubbing her back letting her daughter vent she has been holding back

" it not even what happened that I can't get over It's that I feel like I might have there child" she said with tears streaking down her cheeks" I don't what the child of a monster I want the child of the person I love growing inside me" she continues crying unable to hold it in anymore

Her mother just shakes her head while rubbing her back " you silly little girl putting aside the fact that it's hard to get a elf pregnant yes it's easier for a human but not a guarantee on the pregnancy itself elves start to show a month into the pregnancy I'm certain you are not " Elise looked at her with wide eyes even though it was something that is known among the elves because of there low fertility its not that common for someone not to know what will happen unless they went through it

" I know that what happened to you was horrible but you have been pushing the one who loves you the most away out of fear about this who just wants to help and you are hurting him in the process you two haven't talked since the incident you even stopped looking at him altogether " Elise's head fell

" it's because it hurts to much when I look at him I feel tainted by someone else I feel like he wouldn't love me the same "

Her mother grabbed her chin softly making Elise turn to look at her " you know that is not true he loves very much I see it everyday as he struggles to come up with something to say the sadness seeing you ignoring him that human loves you no matter what I can feel it just like I know how much you love him and how you both are missing each other stop denying it let yourself heal from what happened " Elise thought for a bit then got up turning to her mother " thank you mom I needed that " then she ran off as nebula flew off her shoulder

***

I was on bed with my eyes close when I heard knocking on my door with a confused expression I got up to my surprise it was Elise before I said anything she kissed me deeply I leaned into her missing her taste

" show me how you love me help me forget and heal " she whispered into my ear " your wish is my command my love " I say carrying her to the bed stripping her as she moans in my arm

That night as Elise and I had the most passionate intercourse we ever had a storm of lightning and ice raged outside a good chunk of the city was covered by it lighting streaks through the clouds while it hails but it not just ice that is falling if you looked close enough you can see it was actually a transparent piece of ice with a lightning bolt captured inside frozen in time and no matter how much time passed the didn't melt in the royal garden a pink dragon like egg appeared with a pattern in white ,light blue,yellow, green and neon purple on it

" wake up my love it's time to get up" I hear Elise's voice open my eyes the first thing I see is her smiling face I couldn't help but smile back " good morning my lovely wife how are you feeling " she laid on my chest with a smile " a lot better now " I hugged her close " good " we lay there for some time just enjoying each other before we get up it has been a month

When we come into the dining room Elise's parents smiled seeing there daughter going back to her usual self as we were eating a guard and a maid busted in " your majesty we have somethings to show you " the maid said as both of them came over to the king and queen putting what they held on the table on one plate was lightning trapped in ice which looked more like a crystal the king picked it up " they have fallen all over the city " the queen picked it up looking at it " It's very pretty if it's safe we could sell these " she said then looked at the other plate which was covered the maid removed the cover under it was a dragon like pink egg with colorful pattern on it the queen picked it up with wide eyes

" can I hold it mom " Elise asked she wasn't sure why but she wanted the egg the queen nodded having the maid pass it to Elise who set the egg on her lap a couple seconds later the egg started cracking and a pink little dragon which stared at Elise I could see in Elise's eyes she instantly fell in love the little dragon let out a little chirp hopping on Elise coiling around her neck the dragon looks like a western dragon but with a little bit of feathers she pet the dragon around her neck

The dragon even licked me with affection After that we continued as everyone was shocked but it eventually had to end Elise spent the whole day spoiling the little dragon she even let it sleep with us when it as time to sleep

In the morning Elise and I felt the bed go up and down "momma papa get up I'm hungry " we heard a unfamiliar voice
