Barely, a few steps left and Sedna was about to reach the gate when something tightened around her wrist and waist. The sky seemed to spin as Vulcan directly pulled her into his arms. Vulcan didn't know why but his frantic heart seemed to calm down the moment he held her soft body in his arms.
A pleasant smell accompanied by the unique and clear scent belonging to the man enveloped her as her head landed on the man's chest, listening to his heartbeat.
" Don't go near the Gate. Let's go back first, hmm? Sedna heard him speak in a suspiciously frantic tone and when she blinked and saw Vulcan's worried face filling her vision, she just spaced out and stared until he called her name. "Sedna!"
Her mind seemed to be finally cleared a bit as she looked at him and asked, "Why... I mean what are you doing here? Where is Cara then?"
"Cara? Sedna heard a voice question her, she turned her head to its source and found Gabriel looking at her with furrowed brows.
"I have sent her back," Sirena said making both Gabriel and Sedna turn towards her. She looked at them and continued, " Don't worry. She is safe."
"Let's leave first and you! How long are you going to hug her?" Roose cleared his throat and glared at Vulcan. His words brought Sedna out of her trance as she looked up and met Vulcan's gaze. He was looking at her with a soft smile as he slowly removed his hands around her.
She stepped away from Vulcan hurriedly as her cheeks reddened. She looked away and pursed her lips as she thought about the hug they shared earlier.
[Whoa... He's got some abs there!!!]
Sedna shook her head trying to get rid of her perv thoughts and took a deep breath to calm her racing heart. She then looked around and before she could register what was going on, the entire surroundings changed as everything around her turned dark.
-----------------------
It was past midnight when Bella woke up. She remembered what happened and her heart raced. She sat up and realized she was in a wooden room-like thing. She breathed deeply, looking around, looking for something to drink. Is there anything to drink here? Why am I feeling so thirsty?
Bella was about to climb off the bed when she paused. Her eyes zoomed in on the door. The air outside was chilly and he was there, standing, his back facing her.
Bella's heart squeezed in pain seeing him like that. She knew that she shouldn't feel this way anymore, now that she severed all ties with him, but this stubborn heart of hers refused to listen to her. She couldn't see his face but her heart was aching so badly, breaking apart for him.
She silently stood up and walked closer towards him. She reached out her hand to touch him when suddenly he turned around and their eyes met. His amber-colored eyes widened slowly upon seeing her.
"What are you doing here?" she asked as she looked around trying to figure out the place but frowned when she got no answer from him.
Her soft voice brought Dylan out of his daze as he looked at her face. His cold and empty mind began to work as the numbness in his heart started fading away. His gaze traveled to her stomach and suddenly, he moved.
He hugged her, as tight as he could but suddenly, he pulled away, looking at her worriedly.
"Are you okay?" he asked, holding her face with all the gentleness in the world.
Bella looked at Dylan with furrowed brows and tried to move away from him. What's wrong with him? She thought and looked at him warily.
"What do you think you are doing, Mr.Dylan? We are not that close enough, so, please stop crossing the line." Bella said and removed his hands from her face.
"Not close enough? Then from where did you get this baby, huh? " Dylan asked as he touched Bella's stomach softly.
Everything that Dylan had said was like a bolt of lightning that struck Bella's head. Her face turned pale in a flash. How..? How did he find out? Who told him?..
" Wh...What nonsense! Who's pregnant?" Bella gulped as she looked at Dylan with her widened eyes and laughed nervously. She then tried to step away but failed when Dylan held her wrist suddenly.
"Why? Why are you hiding it from me Bella?" Dylan shouted as a tear slipped from his eye. He couldn't take it anymore. All this time, he was angry at her like a fool but she didn't even bother telling him about their child. She would rather have him mad at her and ignore her than telling him the truth.
"Why? And Is it from that night in that club?" Dylan asked. He thought of that night when they had sex in a club. That night he couldn't take it anymore when she looked so beautiful and had sex with her in the pretext of being drunk. But, the next day he left before she wokeup and later ignored her as if that night didn't even happen.
" Speak something, Damn it!" Dylan cursed and pleaded as he looked at Bella with tear filled eyes.
"Dylan..." she called out, softly, holding his wrist. "I'm sorry..." her eyes began to well.
"I'm sorry I hid this from you." She thought in her mind.
Bella took a deep breath and wiped her tears before she looked at him intently. " I'm pregnant, Dylan..."
"I already know. I have had my doubts since the morning but Sirena confirmed it." Dylan mumbled softly.
"But, this baby has nothing to do with you..." she continued and Dylan's face turned dark. Bella knew it was cruel but its not the right time to tell him everything. Morever, she just couldn't bring herself to tell him the truth. Not when she knew that he would do everything to stop her, once he knew her plan. Before Dylan could speak again, Bella tightened her grip on his hand and continued, "Just listen to me. Okay? You heard me right. This baby has nothing to do with yo..."
Bella was about to continue when she heard someone speak,
" Is that so? Why don't you just tell him that the baby in your belly, is the same baby that you killed during Cosmos war?"
