Chalice.
The scream that tore out from the back of my throat was so loud, it almost burst my windpipe. But who the fuck cares about some damned windpipe when the moon goddess has decided to frown upon her by cursing her baby to come out weeks before its supposed due date?
Definitely not me.
My fingers dug into the wall as I screamed so loud, the ceilings rattled. But do you know what was more pathetic than having to scream like a fucking banshee for all to hear?
The fact that no one cared.
Nobody came to check on me. Nobody cared that I was literally screaming down the place. Nobody cared that this could be my fucking last breath...
’Because they probably think that you’re faking it just as you’ve faked every other thing,’ My wolf and arch enemy clapped back, infuriating me even more.
I rolled my eyes as I blocked her voice out of my mind. Because come to think of it, she was the last person I wanted to listen to right now. She was one of the people who hated me the most despite being tied to me for the rest of her miserable life.
The tears that poured out of my eyes weren’t just tears of pain, it was of frustration and anger combined. It was of irritation and despair. Hell, I wanted to curse the moon goddess for hating me so much!
I wanted to pull at my hair and scream from one end of the world to the other.
"Somebody, HELP!" I screamed when nobody would come to my rescue, and do you know what I get for screaming out those words?
Nothing.
Nothing but silence. The walls echoed my voice back at me as if in mockery, replaying my anguish as if it was some twisted kind of game that the gods played. My body trembled so badly, I feared that I would die, and unable to hold myself up anymore, I fell to the damp floor and squeezed my eyes shut.
"I don’t know what you’re up to, dear witch, but take this pain away and make it Leilani’s. Fill her body with an anguish so blinding, she would beg for death. Give me ease and kill this child... do not forsake me as you have before!" The words rushed out of my mouth, fueled mainly by pure rage and pain.
A wracking pain tore through my spine, searing its way even down to my bones.
Not being able to hold it in anymore, I threw my head back and screamed so loud, I heard a cracking sound in my ribs.
But did the pain go away?
Of course not.
Instead, it intensified by a ten-fold, causing my already loud screams to increase in tempo.
The corners of my vision blurred together. Images blended into themselves until they were nothing but all mush and darkness... and when I couldn’t take it anymore, I shouted so loud, even my voice almost deafened my ears.
But maybe this time, it was good. And I say so because finally I heard the sounds of approaching footsteps. They were not loud or close but I could make do with it.
In desperation, I grabbed hard at the cell gates, shook it as hard as I could and yelled; "Someone! Anyone! HELP ME PLEASE! My baby is comingggg!"
I coughed violently while saying these words, and mucor so thick ran down my mouth as I was fast getting dehydrated.
But I didn’t care about that, neither did I care that I probably look like a mess right now.
The footsteps grew louder, thundering all the way to my cell and as it approached me even more, I couldn’t how but pray for a miracle.
"Lady Chalice!" Someone screamed, but I was in too much pain to see who it was or register the next things he said to me.
