《Unexpected》Breaking The News
Advertisement
Hunter takes off his shoes by the door before disappearing up to his office. Peni is at the salon for a hair appointment, giving me some free time to speak with my boss. When I first knock on his door, there is no response. I build up the courage and knock a little harder, actually drawing a sound from the door.
“Come on in.”
I open and close the door, waiting for Hunter to speak.
“Hello, Skye. Come take a seat.”
I do as he says. He seems stressed over the case. It must not be going the way he wanted.
“What can I help you with tonight?”
“Can I talk to you about something?”
Worry skitters across his face. He takes off his reading glasses, setting them on the desk.
“Yes. What do you need? Another free day?”
This isn’t going to be easy. Thousands of reactions run through my head. Good and bad.
“Actually, it’s something that wasn’t really planned.”
There is no way to describe the look on his face. Fear. Concern. Confusion.
“Okay. What is it?”
I start fiddling with my hands in my lap.
“I swear I didn’t mean for this to happen. It was an accident.”
Frustration is added onto the list of emotions displayed on his face.
“Just tell me, Skye.”
I continue babbling, nervous and trying to buy myself some time. Maybe if I work him up enough he’ll just blow it off.
“This wasn’t my intention and I promise I won’t tell anybody else.”
He stands up, slamming his hand on the desk.
“JUST SAY IT!”
His harsh tone makes me shrink back into a shell. Now I regret coming up here to tell him.
My voice comes out just above a whisper.
“I’m pregnant.”
“What? I can’t hear you.”
Is he joking or serious? Either way, I clear my throat, raising my voice a little.
“I’m pregnant.”
Realization hits him. His expression softens.
“Oh. I didn’t know you were seeing anybody.”
“I’m not.”
Confusion all over again. He’s not going to understand what I’m saying unless I spell it out for him.
“I’m pregnant with your baby, sir.”

Assasination, wide scale war, fights to the death, battle of wits, legendary duels and more await him on his travels as he tries to reach the pinnacle of existence. Let the Tales of the Dragon God begin- Prolouge: A dragon spanned his wings in full length furiously to propel himself further. Faster, he needs to be faster. A glowing black ring with runes etched in golden light appeared and hovered through his back as if a halo of an angel."Curse of Speed" he muttered under his breath and he zoomed through the horizon in a fashion no other dragons may dream of. "I need more speed or that damned thing might catch up to-" he said with a loud growl but before he could finish he saw a golden ring flash by only to stop at a few feet in front of him. A boy with black hair stood in front of him. Darkness enveloped his whole body, while the robes he was wearing was somewhat darker than the darkness. It was like he was staring to an abyss only to be swallowed by a void, an endless one at that. The only tinge of light came from the golden ring above his head. He looked at his face but he can't see any features that he could describe. Then his eyes wandered at the golden ring above his head. His sky-blue draconic eyes glowed with a golden hue. Looking closer, the ring was actually a crown embroided in sophisticated runes that even him a hundred thousand year old dragon cannot comprehend. "A million year old ring. It can't be that you killed-" but again, before he could finish dark ice formed in his snout gently crawling to his eyes. He retaliated by breathing his icy breath but even the absolute ice was frozen by the abyss black ice magic that was crawling through his body. And like the color of ice, darkness came upon him to never awake an eternal slumber. Death took over and a golden ring etched with black colored runes hovered above his corpse. Author's note: Hi!
