In a dim lit room, the walls made of concrete and blocks, two windows that were placed at the back of the room and a master sized bed in between the two windows, cream soft sheets, with large full pillows gently arranged in an aesthetic manner, the tiles of the floor made of gold like marbles reflected the shadows and silhouette of a woman with a protruding abdomen, her hands gently raced on the surface of her abdomen, her brown straight hair was tired in high braided bun, she had a black and white stripe jumper on beneath a bright yellow bra top.
" Madam Sabrina can I come in?" Said the maid,
"Yes, please come in" Sabrina replied in a soft voice,
There she was sitting on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed and her pregnant belly resting on her laps and her fingers woven right in front her belly.
"My..." The maid said with an astound look on his face,
"Is there any issue Hecter?" Sabrina asked as she looked around her body and raised up her arm up to check if there was something wrong with the jumper.
"Madam there's nothing wrong, but I do have an issue..." Hecter the maid said with a look of disapproval of a teacher, with a gentle smile he walks up to her, "Please refrain from using my real name," He picks her hand up and bows to kiss it.
"As the lady of the general you deserve to be treated highly and nothing to do with commoners like me,"
"Hecter..." Sabrina said with her head down "The child will be here soon, you should find a way to escape before it's born" Hecter draws into her ears and whispers to her.
"How can I not call you by your real name after you saved me that very night, How?..." Sabrina began to weep silently, Hecter got on one knee and gently wipes away her tears with a white handkerchief, tears flowed from her eyes dripping from her faces onto her belly,
"I told myself I'm not going to cry when I see you again but it seems... that's not happening..." Sabrina raised up her face and opened her eyes, the sun rises shined through the window casting a beautiful ray of light in the two, Sabrina's eyes glowed with radiance and her tears sparkled as the sunlight shone on them,
Hecter could only but smile gently as he rubbed his thumb across Sabrina's teary eyes, "There's a doctor outside, He'll check the child today before 'He' and you leave"
"Why?..." Sabrina asked
"There's nothing wrong with my child"
"He says the baby's growing too fast" Hecter replied,
He stands up and as he begins to walk towards the door expecting Sabrina to do the same as well, he turns around to see her head down, her hands trembled as her mouth wavered "It's... N...Not His.."
Hecter was shocked, But just it's been a roughly two months now how is the baby not Reiner's?
"But... didn't you spend the night with him?"
"I...I... did but... I was already carrying this child..."
...
"It's a boy..."
"A boy?" Reiner looked at the doctor very strangely, Sabrina sat up on the bed with the white sheets over her abdomen, when the doctor came in with some notes in his hands,
"Yes but there seems to be a foreign body in there with the child..."
Reiner relaxes back in his chair, "Is it going to kill my son?" "Most likely... but only during his birth would we if it'll kill him or not" The doctor bowed in respect and left the room.
Sabrina face got pale, 'Something's wrong with my baby?' she thought as the horrified memories of her past began to hunt her, Reiner looked at her and smiled, more of a smirk to be exact "Don't worry, the child won't live and neither will you, smile for me would you"
How could he say that, after she had went through this past five months, she won't even get to see her child and not only that, who knows what he's going to do to her and her child when he is born.
"P... Please...let him live..." Sabrina began to cry, Reiner stands up from his chair and walks towards her, closes the window and locks the door, "Sabrina, Sabrina, Sabrina..." Reiner said in a cold tone as he slowly walks towards her, "How many times did I say your name?"
"T...th...three"
"Good."
Reiner removes the sheets of the bed with one hand and throw it to the side, he climbs right over Sabrina in an attempt to strangle her, "Please... let him l...live..."
Reiner leans closer to one her. ears and whispers to her, "No."
"Ahhhh!"
"what's that sound?" Person 1
"Is something happening up stairs?" Person 2
"That's a woman screaming!" Person 3
"Madam Sabrina!" Hecter hears Sabrina's cry from the outside of the hospital and rushes inside bursting the door wide open, people were in shock to see such disorder happening and immediately called for security, "Sir we need you to calm down..."
"Can't you hear a woman screaming?!!" Hecter yelled at one of the guards in rage,
"Screaming?" A guard asked,
"It's my madam she's in danger!"
All of a sudden every where got quiet, Hecter looked around and listened for Sabrina's cry but he couldn't hear it,
"No... No! Please you have to let me go! she's in danger!" Hecter yelled at the guards that blocked the door, people started whispering, chatter in the reception hall became louder, "He's delusional..." "Is that his wife?" "Who is in danger?" "What is he talking about?"
Hecter kept quite as desperation and the fear that the worse could have happened began to work him,
"Please I'm begging you, there's a woman up there she's in danger... you have to believe me-"
Hecter paused for a moment and turns to around to see a huge shadow that was in front of him and behold, it was Mania! "Sir..."
"What room is my brother in?" Mania said with a straight face,
"I don't know..." Hecter replied.
"How can you not know? Aren't you an Ackerman?" Mania said with a dead gaze.
And the spirit of fear fell on Hecter saying, "E... Even if I...I am, I am not strong... enough to know where he is..." Hecter fell on his knees before Mania, pleading for forgiveness, Mania looked at him with disgust on in his eyes as if looking at the thing he hated the most in the world, a gaze of anger and disgust.
"Get out of my sight..."
"Yes sir..."
Hecter then arose from kneeling, with a cast down spirit he walks out of the hospital on defeat,
Mania then faced the security that stopped Hecter from proceeding into the upper room saying, "We do not know who you are or what you have come to do here, so we cannot open this door"
And Mania said to them, " I am a general, I have a business to take care of with one of the patient, Reiner"
The security of the hospital looked dumbfounded and released Mania into the upper room, where in no time he finds the room where Reiner and Sabrina were admitted to.
"Brother, why are you here?" Reiner confronts his brother with a look of disdain, but Mania being the mature brother does not reply and finds a wooden chair to rest in,
Just as Mania laid back in his chair, he's amber eyes caught a glimpse of Sabrina,
And the side of her body where Reiner had bitten and hurt her, was red like the blood of a human.
And Mania said to his brother "I assure you, this woman will be your downfall if you keep her alive"
"Have you not made love with her?"
and Reiner replied "I have but she bears my child now and I do not desire to end her life"
Mania about to tell his brother the truth about the child stops because he heard a small whisper saying to him, "Let my child live if not me, let the child live..."
And Mania says to his brother "Will you let the child live?"
Reiner shakes in head and says to Mania, "I will kill the child with my own hands the day he is born like wise the mother"
"Ha! my brother, you are truly wicked!"
Mania laughs pleasantly for he enjoyed the sight of terror and darkness and because his brother was the prince of the dark, he was made happy.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Do not worry my brother, I am here to share with you something to improve our undercover"
"What is it?" Reiner replied with agitation,
"This, is what we will use to hide our a scent from other Ackermans"
Mania held up of glass bottle flask that had a round bottom, there in it was a liquid red in colour,
"One drop of this on our sword mark and we can remain undetected until we pushed to fight our enemies"
The red liquid was a diluting scent created for Ackermans back in the day when Ackermans were sent on trips to far away lands from their kingdom, so as to avoid being attacked by other Ackermans from the kingdom they want to invade or infiltrate.
Once a battle begins, the scent and true strength of the Ackerman is given off.
And the time came for Reiner and Mania to leave, after much discussion of their various duties in the military they arise and send for guards to escort them and Sabrina out of the hospital and to the house that they lived in.
Out of the door, Sabrina held the hand Reiner weakly in an attempt to fool the people around that they were an expectant couple.
Hecter who was behind them as the entered their classic looking 80's cart kept his head down as he could only look at edge of the garment of Sabrina
and he says to himself "I have failed to protect my master, why shall I live any longer if she is going to die... I cannot live"
Sabrina had only managed to survive the attack of Reiner that very night, when she was in the plane, Hecter had awaken from his slumber and heard the voice of Koba saying to him, 'Make sure she lives and escapes from that Ackerman".
He saved her but now his hands are bound because the men before him are greater than him, how could he fight the greatest of all time without getting killed.
It was a hopeless situation.
Nevertheless, Hecter tagged on until Sabrina was ready to escape.
"Until a greater Ackerman arises and defeats these two men until she is rescued, I will protect madam Sabrina"
