Chapter one[/glow]
How could a week that started so beautifully have been filled with such chaos, such destruction? That week… it changed everything…. Forever!
The sun rose early on a Monday morning. Sky was awake as usual. She was kind of a morning person, she always had been! Sat out on the patio with a cup of coffee and the wind blowing gently through her long blonde hair! Feeling arms come gently around her shoulders Sky closed her eyes. She could heard his gentle breathing as he bought his face towards her cheek, kissing it gently. Tilting her head backwards onto his shoulder, Sky opened her eyes.
“Morning!” They seemed like ever other normal married couple! But the Morgan’s were anything but normal! The life they led, the things they’d seen! Born magical but they both grew powerfull! You see one world has more than one community. More races of people than you could perceive. Earth isn’t exactly a world of peace on the outside and on the inside…. There’s a war going on before your eyes that you don’t even notice!! Whether it be through not seeing or just not believing your eyes! To the outside world Sky and Christopher Morgan were just like any other couple. But they weren’t!
As Sky spoke Chris couldn’t help but smile. Sky and Christopher had been married for almost 10 years! Since they were both 20! High school sweethearts and together ever since! People always said they wouldn’t make it but they had hope! They both did, and still did until a few months earlier when Sky became insure!! In there world vampires, demons, werewolfs, the things that go bump in the night, the things you tell yourself cant possibly be real… they’re an everyday occurance! And they’re something that Sky and Chris had been fighting for as long as they were capable! It was like a family tradition, one you couldn’t escape!! Meeting through there familys at a young age, the pair had known each other for what seemed like forever! Both from a long line of witches they’d spent many years keeping the world safe from the daily threats they encountered! Fighting side but side filled with passion and love! Sky and Chris started off as the most amazing couple! They had a relationship only few aquired and many envied! But after a few years of marrige the sparks began to fade! Passion began to leave!
A few months before the incident however, Sky met someone, well actually… something! A vampire! Shay! Shay was tall dark and handsome, and the complete oppisite of what Sky would have ever gone for, not to mention evil! The one thing Sky hated! Yet when she was around him, there was that spark, the thing she’d been missing for so long! She should have been killing him but she couldn’t! What they had between them started off as sex but grew to so much more than that. They fell in love! It got to the point where Sky could no longer look Chris in the eye! She just… didn’t love him in that way anymore! He was like her best friend, but Shay… it was like he controlled her heart! And she’d finally decided that he was what she wanted! What she needed! She was leaving Chris!
That Monday morning Sky was consumed with more guilt than she could ever have even imagined before! As she felt his skin against hers it was like her heart was breaking inside! She didn’t know what to say or do! She’d struggled out a good morning! Chris moved away from her, taking a seat facing her.
“Hey baby, you ok? You snuck out while I wasn’t looking!” His voice. He was so caring! She hated that he cared it just made everything so much harder!
“Yeah I’m fine I just, didn’t feel so good, needed some air.” She said looking down into her coffee cup, tracing the rim of the mug with her index finger! Chris moved his hand, taking Sky’s and squeezing it slightly.
“Are you ok? I could call your Mother. Tell her you’re not going in today!” What could she say? She probably felt that way through guilt and nerves! 15 years they’d been together! The look in his eyes, she was going to find it so hard. But she had to do it!
“Chris… You know.. Um… Do you remember… when we got married… I got nervous before hand and you said to me…” She looked up at Chris, avoiding eye contact.
“Its ok to be scared! But know that you have a decision to make and.. I’ll love you no matter what!” He said, finishing for her sentence for her.
“I know what this is about!” he announced. She shot a glance up at him, looking shocked.
“You know? How do you know?” She asked.
“Honey I told you! Turning 30 is no big deal!! You’re still as beautiful as you were the day you turned 16! You know that!” Sky’s heart skipped a beat! She looked back down! He thought this was so small! He had no idea! She opened her mouth to put him straight but no words came out! She looked back up to him.
“Well I guess I can be happy it’s not 40!” She said with a slight smile.
“Sky, stop worrying! You’ve been worrying about it for months now I can tell! Just… Smile!” As he said this she smiled for him. She had to sort out her head!
“Could you call my mom for me? I think I have a stomach bug or something! Tell her I’ll be back to work tomorrow I just need to go back to bed or something!” Chris stood up, kissing Sky gently on the head before he walked into the house.
“Ok, I’ve got to go to work after I’ve called her! I’ll be back about 5!” He said as he left! As she heard the back door sut behind behind Chris, Sky placed her head in her hand slightly. Tears formed in her eyes as she tried to cope. She looked back down to the mug. Everything just boiled up inside her and she threw the mug to the floor, watching as it smashed to pieces on the floor, before running in the house and to the bathroom.
It was a few hours later before Sky turned up at Shay’s place. The door swung open and Sky almost fell into Shay’s arms. Catching her Shay kicked the door shut with one foot. He held Sky close to him, stroking the hair out of her eyes!
“Hey hey hey!!! Shhh! It’s ok!” He cooed, still holding her. She shook her head rapidly as she cried.
“Its not! Its getting harder! And I think we have a problem!” Shay looked a bit confused. He moved backwards and took her hands, leading her through his apartment and sitting down on his bed with her following. As she sat down Shay looked at her. She sighed slightly as she fought back the tears. Shay just leaned in and kissed her slightly. As he moved back she smiled and moved back in placing her hand on his cheek as she kissed him. As she pulled herself back and looked at him.
“We have a problem!” Shay moved nervously as he looked at her as if to say ‘come on, help me out here’! Sky took her bag off her shoulder and passed Shay a plastic bag. Even more confusion spread across his face… until he opened the bag! His eyes widened.
“Have you taken it?” She nodded. “And…?” She nodded again! “Oh my god! You’re pregnant? With… Is it…?” He couldn’t continued, he didn’t want to sound accusatory but he needed to know.
“It’s yours!” She confirmed. Neither of them were admiting it but neither knew whether it was a good thing or not!
“You havent left yet I take it?” Shay asked taking her hands in his!
“No but I will! Its hard, every time I try to tell him its like… my voice is gone!” She replied, she knew it was killing Shay! She may love him, and he knew that as well as she did, but every night it was Chris she went home to! “It’s getting harder! I know I need to get out and I want to I really do but… I cant!” She said leaning into him and placing her head on his shoulder.
“If you don’t want….” She moved and shook her head at him.
“NO! No I want to! But it’s the whole thing of… it’s not just telling him I’m leaving! He’ll try and stop me, and then if I’ve got to move out all my stuff then im going back and forth and I don’t think I’ll be able to face him!” She sighed.
“Move all your stuff in here before you leave!” Shay said simply… like the idea was as simple as.. Something really simple.
“Move it in here? Are you asking me to move in with you Shay Papillion?”
“Well I couldn’t think of anything I’d like more!” He said as she moved in, kissing him!
5.12 pm. Sky sat in the living room, the last of her boxes loaded in her car! The rest of her stuff was already at Shay’s. She heard Chris’ key in the front door. She took a deep breath as he walked through into the room she was currently occupying!
“Hey how you feeling?” He asked as he dropped his keys gently onto the table.
“Better, thank you.” He sat on the other sofa facing her.
“What’s the matter honey… you seem a little…”
“Scared? Terrified? Nervous as hell?”
“I was going to say a bit off but ok.. What’s going on Sky?” Chris was obviously confused. He didn’t have any idea what was going on.
“I cant do it anymore! Its killing me!” Chris watched as the tears fell down her face.
“What is? Sky, honey, what’s the matter?” He moved and knelt down in front of her. He took her hands in his but Sky quickly pulled them back.
“It wasn’t planned! It just happened!” She said. She stood up and headed across the room! She stood facing away from him, her arms cocooning her stomach. Chris stood up and looked at her.
“What wasn’t.. Sky what’s going…” He looked at her holding her stomach and smiled, he had got completely the wrong end of the stick. “You’re pregnant?” Sky turned to face him.
“How did you… Chris! No! It’s not what you…!” Chris walked slowly towards her.
“Are you pregnant or not?” He asked.
“I am! But it’s not….” Chris stopped.
“Its not what?” He looked at Sky. “Its not mine?” Sky bit her lip and shook her head.
“Im so sorry!” Chris felt his body give up underneath him. He placed out his hand, placing it on the arm of his sofa, keeping himself up almost!
“Who?” Chris spat out, trying to keep all his emotions down, there was such a confused mess of them right now! He was so angry yet he just wanted to burst into tears, as you could have told by the tears building up in his eyes.
“You don’t know him!” She was telling the truth, but she couldn’t elaborate! If Chris found out about Shay.. He’d kill him!
“How long has it been going on? Wait… let me guess… 3 months? About the time you went weird on me! Why Sky?” Sky filled up with tears.
“Yes! Just over three months! And I don’t know why… It just happened!”
“Well there must be a reason! I mean did you just get bored? Decide I wasn’t good enough for you? WHAT SKY?”
“It wasn’t like that and you know that! But things between us weren’t right Chris!”
“Really? Because I thought we were fine!”
“Then you’re more niave than I thought you were!” Chris looked at her. He turned quickly picking up the coffee table, throwing it across the room. As things smashed Sky turned facing the wall! He’d obviously lost it.
“Well I never had you down as a whore! I guess opinions change hey?!” Sky turned back.
“How dare you? Its not like I’ve been sleeping with every bloke in Watford.. Shay was different!”
“Shay? What they hell kind of name is Shay?”
“The name of someone that actually makes me feel good about myself!”
“And I don’t is that what your saying?” Raised voice turning to pain!
“Chris… no that’s not what I meant!”
“Well that’s what you said!”
“No it isn’t! Chris… please just stop!” Chris walked over to Sky, placing a hand on her face.
“Why didn’t you just come to me? We could have made it through this! We still can!” Sky used her hand to move Chris’.
“No we cant! Chris! This is over!” She said placing his hand at his side and walking towards the door. As the front door slammed shut Chris fell to the floor crying! And no matter how much she tried to hold it back she couldn’t! Sky spent the night in Shay’s arms! Something she’d wanted to do for such a long time! Thinking of what she’d left behind was hard though! The look in Chris’ eyes! The pain he felt! It was unbearable! But she had to make herself happy for once!
