"No, Hannah." He says softly, "I am not. The dragons are."
I can't believe him. He's evil.
"No." I say firmly, "The only monsters that I see are you and your men. The dragons are not monsters. They are kind, compassionate, and loving. Onyx is my soulmate and I will not allow you to tarnish his name."
"Kill her," Karl orders, his voice cold and harsh.
I'm not sure what spurred me to do so but I let them come at me. When one of the men is close enough, I kick him straight in the groin, making him drop his sword. I quickly pick it up just as I drive it straight into the chest of another. Blood drips down the blade as he falls dead to the ground.
"How dare you!" Karl roars, "kill her, now!"
I'm not sure how I'm able to defend myself, but I take out two more men, my sword drenched in blood. It's hard for me to think straight as Karl comes towards me, his face filled with fury. I have never seen him look so angry before, his eyes glowing brightly.
"You will not kill me." He growls, taking out his own sword.
"I will." I promise, feeling the tears slide down my cheeks.
He rushes at me, and our swords clash, sparks flying everywhere.
"Why won't you just give up, Hannah?" Karl demands, pressing against me, "You're mine!"
"No, I'm not." I spit back, pushing him back.
He's caught off guard and stumbles. This is my chance.
"Goodbye, Karl." I tell him softly.
I don't give him a chance to think. I swing my sword as hard as I can, cutting straight through his neck. His head rolls down into the snow, his body falling right after it. My entire body is shaking, the sword dropping from my hand.
I have killed. I never thought I would say that...
I look longingly towards the mountain where I know Onyx is. A part of me is tempted to go back since I have no home but I can't... I turn away, having my back to the mountains, and know that my fate is not destined to remain here any longer.
Chapter Four
Hannah
I scream in agony as I lay in the hospital bed, kind of feeling like I'm being split apart. The nurses are trying to keep me calm but I honestly feel like I'm being torn into a million different pieces as I am trying to push two babies out of me. Onyx was correct, I did get pregnant that night. When I was on the run, I was terrified, and it was a lot of work for me to try and survive, but it was a good way for me to keep moving.
I finally came to a village when I was about four months pregnant and they gave me sanctuary. I guess Karl's men were out to kill me at this point because of what I did to him. I honestly couldn't give a damn that he was dead, knowing damn well that he deserved it. I do regret leaving Onyx behind though. It's like a pull inside of me is continuously trying to draw me towards him every single day. It's hard to live without him.
The doctors and nurses are watching the screen, seeing the twins coming down the birth canal.
"Keep pushing." The doctor tells me.
I grit my teeth and try to hold back the scream.
"Come on, Hannah. We're almost there." She continues.
The pain is too much. My whole body is shaking, and I'm starting to feel faint.
"You're almost done, Hannah." She promises me, giving me a soft smile.
I scream again, feeling the urge to push.
"Here we go." She says excitedly.
I hear crying and I fall back against the pillow, my breath ragged.
