Scarlet Past

By:Wine

Chapter 7

The week flew by and Anubis returned home. Mia tried letting all her worries wash away but her thoughts always went back to her traumatizing memories of the past. The night fell as Mia came out of the bathroom. Her sheen nightgown reflected in the night as a silvery light. Anbuis walked over to her as she headed for the bed and greeted her with a kiss.

“I see your wearing your gift,” he said admiring her neck. She went to the bed and sat down and he sat next to her.

“What’s wrong you have been so silent lately. You can tell me,” he said noticing the expression on her face. He never wanted her to be sad.

“Well I’m not up to my usual self lately, all these dreams and memories flood my mind all the time,” she said trying to avoid his gaze. Something about those sad pale blue eyes when he worried made her want to curl up and die.

“Are you sick,” he asked.

“I don’t know, but I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. I just feel like someone or something is trying to tell me something, but it’s scaring me.”

“I’m here and nothing will happen, and if it does we get through it we always do. I promise nothing that we’ll all be safe and this will blow over.

Yeah I guess she said laying her head on his shoulder and he pulled her close to him. His arms going around her back, imprisoning her. At last he felt a huge sob well up inside her and burst forth. He held her tighter, his lips against her hair and she wept. He felt more helpless than he had in his life.

After a minute, with his arm still cradling her, he laid her in the bed. He stroked her hair, and slender back and repeated, “It’s gonna be alright.”

She fell asleep and he listened to the quiet sounds of her breathing. She looked peaceful as she mumbled and rolled on to him and clenching on like it was her last resort. He only felt worse and as a black blanket covered the sky he settled and watched her sleep through the night.

Mia wandered into the house and sat on the couch. She was so tired after the doctors had poked and prodded at her. The house seemed barren and deserted to her. Everyone was gone or doing what they pleased. She grabbed a cover and slipped into it, certain she wasn’t going to toss and turn for the rest of the day. Only to fall asleep so quickly that she might have been taken over with a spell of slumber.

The garden was gorgeous; flowers bloomed as if they were kings. Winds blew furiously as she shook the hair out of her hair, hugging her arms to her body and shook with the cold premonition of danger.

She couldn’t take her eyes of the flowers that seem to be drawing together in a column in the center. The flowers merged into a robed figure like a monk. But the shape didn’t suggest anything remotely human.

A voice, icy and sweet, Whispering voice came out of the darkness from all around her. Not understanding the apparition, she moved toward it no longer in fear but in wonderment.

“Wake up Mia,” said Rowen shaking her arms trying to revive her, Telephone…you’ve been sleeping for two hours now.

“Mmm…who is it?” she said stretching her arms out and tired to curl up and go back to sleep.

“The doctors office, I guess they have your test results,” he said helping her rise to her feet. She slowly stumbled, yawning into the kitchen and picked up the phone.

“Hello…yes…are you serious…okay, thank you,” “Where’s Anubis,” asked Mia, she felt as though she was ready to burst; good news finally. She called Rowen out of the living room and they both set out to find Anubis. They soon gave up and went back into the kitchen.

Anbuis walked into the kitchen with the rest of the gang at his feet. He started to say something but Mia cut him off as she started, “It seems that I am okay and the only reason for all of this is… is that I’m pregnant with twins.

The boys gasped, Yuli cheered, but Anbuis hit the floor like a ton of bricks. The boys lifted him on to their shoulder and set him the chair. Mia grabbed a cup of water and threw it on his face. His eyes fluttered and he focused on Mia’s face.

He couldn’t believe it for 200 hundred years he had wanted to become a father and now he was the father of two. He jumped up and grabbed her and she hugged him back. A rushing wave of relief fell over the household.

The new body felt extremely good. The ironic nature of the situation was to funny to believe. He would have his revenge against them. He stood and walked to the mirror, he missed his silvery mane…now he had these dreadful brown locks. Not matter he thought, every thing must come with a price.

“Megumi your poor lover here has been taken, how dreadful you must feel in the afterlife,” he said aloud to himself. He slowly faded as he took his devious plan into action.
