You Done 'Effed Up

Kaitlyn froze. All of a sudden he was there, and he was more than ready to deliver judgement. Kait’s ears flicked back, holding the stillborn carefully within her jaws for a moment longer before lowering it to the earth. She wasn’t sure what to say to him. To tell him how she’d been hurt… how she’d tried to stay positive with him and Vianni. But it was hard… so hard… he couldn’t understand. Vi’s words from that day still rung in her ears. The threat behind them. If she had sought Lucifer out… then she’d have had to deal with Vianni’s anger. She couldn’t win.

Kaitlyn felt a stab in her heart. She didn’t want to abandon them… Gods she didn’t… but she didn’t know what else she could do. She lowered her gaze, setting the stillborn at her paws. She felt weak… dizzy… but she knew she couldn’t rest here. Not now. “You’d never understand… all you’d see is your Queen’s side of things.” Kaitlyn replied, the hurt evident in her tone. “I trusted you… and you betrayed that trust. I heard what you said to her… about taking them away from me if you had to. How is this any different?”

Kaitlyn shuddered, shaking her head. “These children won’t know their mother… but perhaps that is for the best.” She glanced down at the stillborn again, her heart clenching in her chest. “I’m sorry things… have to be this way…” But why was she the one apologizing? She’d been the one who was hurt! She glanced up at Lucifer then, giving a defeated sigh. “The boy… His name shall be Gary… and the other girl… Lyle…” Kait turned then, feeling tears prick her eyes. “Not even they will be equal in your eyes, will they?” She whispered, a tone so soft she doubted the male heard it. She turned then, hesitating as she glanced at the stillborn. Would she even be allowed to give it a proper burial?
