Chapter 20~Time is running out (Part 2)

~Julian's POV~

I waited... For something... Anything... My parents and family just sat there, watching, almost waiting for me to say it was all a big joke.

"mo-m-?"

"Don't say a word Julian." My mother snapped.

I almost broke down when she that, but Dominik wrapped an arm around me. "And why not Mrs. Tobias?"

"No son of mine can get pregnant! He is not my son! Neither is that thing!" She pointed at Nick. Nick winced at her words, but made no move to talk back.

My dad, Rylan grabbed my mother's arm and made her look at him. "Why are you talking to your children like this?! You always told me how much you wanted Julian back! And now that you do, you refuse to accept him! It's not his fault he was kidnaped! It's ours! And that makes it our fault that he's half vampire now!"

"Don't talk like that Rylan! How dare you accept those two children as our own?! When they are clearly monster's! Anyone can see that!" She thrust her arm toward me. I whimpered and pushed myself out of Dominik's grip and ran up the stairs to my room before anyone could see my tears.

~Dominik's POV~

I had to physically step back from the woman who birthed Julian. How dare she make Julian run away? How dare she call him a monster?

River was up in the blink of an eye, staring down Julian's mom. "I suggest you leave before we call the cops and have you physically taken away..." His dark threat hung in the air.

Mrs. Tobias stood. "Alright. Fine. Justin. Angel. Rylan. Let's leave." She started walking, but no one made a move to follow her. When she noticed this, she spun around and sent everyone a death glare. "Let's. Go."

Rylan held his head up high as he stared at his wife with a hateful glare. "I may not be the best dad in the world, and I may never be there for my kids, but I will not let Julian be alone in this, He needs family. Now more than ever. So you take the car back home, pack your bags, and I want you out of the house within the week."

Everyone didn't dare breathe as Mrs. Tobias screamed in frustration. She stomped to the door, flung it open, and left, slamming it as she left.

Everyone was quiet for a bit. Than I felt a tug on my sleeve and saw Tate.

"I wanna go see Julian. He sad..."

I nodded and picked up Tate. I turned to River. "It would be nice if you tend to our guests while me and Tate go calm Julian down." After I got a nod from River, I walked up the stairs and to Julian's room. Even from outside the door I could hear his heavy sobs. My heart broke for him.

"Julian?" Tate knocked, eager to go see him and make him feel better.

Something hit the door. "Go away!"

"Julian..." I opened the door and walk inside. I see that he threw batty at the door. I set Tate down and he ran over to Julian and laid down next to him.

"Julian should feel better! His bad momma is gone but nice dad stayed."

Julian didn't seem to pay attention. He put his hands over his ears and if possible, shaking even more than before. I quickly grabbed Tate and pulled him away from Julian.

"Julian...?" I asked again, worry seeping into my voice.

Julian fell still, and for a moment I thought he was dead, but he sat up. He looked at me with a blank expression. "Julian couldn't function on his own. I had to help him..."

"Quincy?" I really hope it's not-

"It's Lucifer..." And it is who I didn't want it to be.

"Why didn't Quincy help?"

"Quincy... He... He got chained back up. He doesn't need us anymore. I'm going to fade away soon... I just... Wanted to help Julian one last time..."

"What are you talking about?! Your starting to freak me out..."

"Me and Quincy aren't needed anymore!" Lucifer stood up. "Get it now?! Me and and Quincy are being locked up in small cages and forced to stay there in the quiet dark, hoping that we will be needed..." Lucifer looked up at the light. "I won't see light for awhile... Probably never again..."

"Lucifer-"

"Just take care of Julian. And whatever happens, stay by him. Something bad is going on. And nothing will stop it from coming. Be prepared... If you want Julian to live that is..."

~A week later, Julian's POV~

I was glad that my dad and siblings accepted me and wanted to be there for me when I had my baby. My mom hasn't been seen since the incident when I first told everyone.

"Dominik? Can I go outside?" I whined. I haven't been outside in what felt like months. Well, actually, it's only been a month...

Dominik frowned and looked at me worriedly. "Are you sure? Just going outside can put you in danger... I want you safe..."

"I know I'll be fine. Just let me outside for a few seconds, that's all I ask, the only fresh air I get is from my window, you hardly let me outside, I feel like a caged dog."

Dominik bit his lip. "fine... But five minutes max..."

I cheered and hugged Dominik before running toward the door, throwing my jacket on and running outside, sucking in a breath of fresh humid air. It rained yesterday so it's still a bit muddy.

I ran out and into the yard and just stood there. It felt amazing to be outside. I have almost always been cooped up in a house, so these few minutes I get outside are blessings really.

I heard a twig snap off to the side of me and froze up. I heard growling, I slowly turned around and looked at what was stalking closer.

It was a huge werewolf. Just like the werewolf that Carson had. I took a step back. "St-stay b-back." I put my hand out in a stop motion. But it just kept coming closer.

{RUN!}

[RUN!] Lucifer and Quincy kept screaming at me to run, it hurt my head. So I turned and ran as fast as my legs would carry me into the forest.

As I ran, mud splashed around me, and kept pulling at me to stop. But I couldn't, I heard that beast following me. Tears filled my vision as I willed my legs faster.

"Come on! Move faster!" I screamed at myself.

I don't know how long I ran, but toward the end, my breath was in pants, my legs became heavy, and the only thing going through my mind was...

Dominik...

I tripped over a tree root and fell on my hands and knees. I didn't dare move as the werewolf came up behind me. I grabbed me with its clawed hand. I almost screamed from the pain it gave me when it's claws sighed through my skin.

"Please! Stop!" It's claw was dangerously close to my stomach, and being the mom I am, I started to do anything I could to protect the baby growing there. "Put me down!"

It ignored me of course and started wandering deeper into the forest. That's when I started full out sobbing. I was screaming my protests and kicking at whatever I could.

It was a little while later when we arrived at a familiar building. I think my heart just stopped.

"Julian!" I looked over at the one man I used to fear most.

"Carson..." I whimpered, tears came in waterfalls now. "Please let me go! I'm pregnant! I don't want you to hurt it!" I may only be a month but that doesn't mean that he can't hurt it or worse... Kill my baby. The one me and Dominik are parents of.

Carson stared at me for the longest time before coming over to me and feeling my stomach. "So it's not that far along..."

"I'm only a month." I whimpered.

Carson gave me a large smile. "I'm happy for you Julian. Set him down and lets take him inside." The werewolf set me down. Carson thrust an arm around my shoulders and walked me inside.

~Carson's POV~

He's pregnant...?

This really messed with my plans.

Damn.

I lead Julian to his room. He went deathly pale. "Please. No." I dug my claws into his shoulder. Yes I have claws. He hissed in pain.

I walked into the room and made him lay down. I strapped him to the bed and grabbed his old mask. I showed it to him. "You were always mine Julian." I put it on him. His eyes lost that glow. His body stopped fighting as he looked at me. He already looked broken. I hold his mask so he is forced to look at me. "I promise I won't hurt the baby. But I can't say the same for you precious. Love you Julian." I gave him a wicked smile and kissed his forehead. Than I walked out of the room.

~Dominik's POV~

"Julian?! Julian?! Where are you?!" I ran around the lawn screaming for him, Tate was crying on the porch, and Nick... Was searching the forest. He couldn't have gotten far... Right?

I almost broke down when Nick came back and said he didn't see Julian. I called the cell phone I gave him, but he didn't answer. I texted him. No response. I even looked at the GPS in his phone, but it was turned off.

"Julian... Where are you...?"

Nick and Tate left me out on the front lawn, they knew I wanted privacy. I felt a few tears slip down my cheeks.

"JULIAN?!" I shouted to the sky.

I'll find him. And when I do... I'm going to make sure... He knows just how much this hurt...

Where are you?!

~Julian's POV~

Carson, Michael and Jamie looked at me and smiled.

"Glad to have you back." Jamie giggled.

I was sitting on the basement floor, looking up at them, crying my eyes out. I tried to talk but the mask muffled my cries.

I wanted to go home.

I crawled over to Carson and tugged on his pant leg. I wanted him to let me leave. Take if my mask, and never bother me again.

"Aw. Aren't you just the cutest little slave?"

Slave...?

He must of seen my confusion. He burst out laughing. "You will always be ours! Mind, body and soul!"

Oh...

"Now be a good boy and go over there somewhere and wait for me to return." The trio walked back up the stairs. I heard the door close and lock after them.

That's when I heard it. This... Ticking sound. Over and over!

I saw something move in the shadows. A man stepped up to me. He grabbed me forcefully and stuffed me into what I assume was a sack. I thrashed in the sack, who is this guy?! I took off my mask.

"Hey! Let me go!" I screamed.

"Shut up you worthless price of crap." He dragged me along the floor.

After a few seconds I was aware if gulls screaming. I was aware if rolling waves. That's when it clicked. I was re-living one of my nightmares. And I know how this one ends.

I get thrown off a cliff, and I did when I hit the bottom.

My baby!

"Hey! You can't kill me! I'm pregnant!"

"I don't care. Now shut it!" The waves got louder. I knew my death was close.

"But you'd be killing a baby! That's like, the low of the low!"

He dropped the sack on the ground and pulled me out. He death glared me. "I don't give a fuck. I've killed plenty of pregnant woman, killed plenty of babies, and killed plenty of annoying boys. Now shut it, or i'll rush your death!"

I gulped and looked into his dark brown eyes. He was angry. Really, angry...

He shoved me back inside the sack and continued to drag me alone the path.

I heard approaching footsteps. "Send a letter to Dominik. Say we want to make an exchange. If he doesn't accept. I will throw Julian off a cliff."

I start to sob.

"Shut! Up! You are not a baby!"

"I wanna go home!"

"I'm going to throw him over a cliff soon! Dear lord!" He punched me on the shoulder and left me in the sack.

"Julian?!" I heard Dominik and Nick yell at the same time.

"Dominik! Nick!" The man kicked me.

"I said shut it!"

"Did you just kick him?!" Dominik sounded pissed.

"Because the kid won't fucking keep quiet! He should be grateful I saved him!"

"You said you would throw me over the cliff!" I struggled in the sack.

"I still will! Now shut it while I make a deal with Dominik!"

I heard talking, but I couldn't make out the words. They must have moved away...

I wait quietly. Than I get the feeling of being shoved. I scream as I fell the ledge underneath my hands. I was about to fall if I move any closer.

"Now... Do you agree to the deal? Or do you want to have a funeral for a boy and his child?"

"I agree." Dominik said with pure anger in his voice. It even chilled me to the bone. I was picked up and handed over to Dominik who quickly pulled me out of the sack.

"What's going on?" I wanted to know why he looked so angry.

"I'll explain everything at the house. Lets go." Dominik spun on his heel, Nick right behind him. They walked down the cliff side and down a pathway to a car.

Dominik put me in the passenger side, than he got in the car and drive off. I looked at Nick who was in the back seat. He looked pale.

"Dominik...?"

"Be quiet Julian." He tightened his grip in the steering wheel.

I whimpered. Something's wrong.

Everyone's acting weird around me.

What's going on...?

We pulled up to the house. Dominik grabbed my arm and dragged me inside the house. He flung me at the couch. I landed in it and looked up at him with fear.

"Dom-"

"Julian... I think it's time we had a long talk..." He was shaking with anger.
