Re: Once Upon A Kidnapping

One night though I didn't have the nerve to wake him up and beg him for something I was craving, I was starving as usual and got up somewhere late in the night. I'd gone to bed at six but was awake off and on. We didn't have it, that thing I was craving... I was sad. Some of the shops were still open at this hour, I had gotten good favor from a lot of places and some of the ladies in town were always up doing things and cooking all night.

I was hungry... >_> So I got something warm on and opened the front door quietly after making sure my love was asleep. He'd probably be angry with me but I wanted sweet bread so I was going to get myself some sweet bread. >( Hmph. It was freezing when I stepped outside, the bitter cold was making my nose feel numb, stinging at first but the pain went away quickly. And off I went! It couldn't hurt to find something delicious, besides, Jethro liked sweet bread too. It would make him happy if I brought some back for him! 8D

I thought I hard a door open and shut, so I sat up slowly so I wouldn't disturb Janelle. I looked to see if she was still asleep, but she was up. I frowned some and got up and walked into the kitchen. Normally she hung out there, but she wasn't... so I walked into the living area... no Janelle. The bath room? I looked in there and she wasn't there either.

She wasn't in the house at all...

And I started to panic. I ran to the room and tripped over myself a few times while trying to get my pants on and a shirt as well. I threw on my jacket and fell over while trying to get my boots on. What was that woman thinking?! D<

**Ikuar** Fri Oct 07, 2011 12:56 pm

It was taking a while to get back and I was really starting to get tired, my body was hurting and my eyes burned from the wind blowing in my face. I stumbled briefly and then grabbed onto a light post to support myself and gather up some energy. A couple more minutes of walking and I was trying to keep my footing, I felt dizzy and couldn't see straight. I saw a light post ahead of me and then two and then one again... I couldn't tell if there were two next to each other or just one. I squinted and took one more step, ankle twisting under me and legs caving. I landed on my side, the bag of bread pretty much sliding out of my arms and onto the icy street. My stomach hurt really bad but that was the last thing I noticed before blacking out.

**Jayrin** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:01 pm

I ran down the steps and out into the street. Where had that woman gone alone?! At this hour no less!! D<

I called her name frantically, looking left and right for her when I stopped in my tracks. She was laying on the ground. "J-Janelle!!" I exclaimed and ran to her. "Janelle?!" I shakily took her into my arms. Why was she out here? I looked to my left though and saw a bag of sweet bread. That's what she risked her life for?

I shook her some, but she was so cold. I frowned and picked up the sweet bread, then her and walked back toward the house. Stupid woman. >|

...I prayed she'd be okay. :(

I shifted under the weight of something heavy and warm, but I was shivering so it wasn't bad. It was just uncomfortable for me so I tried to move it. I was home and I heard a couple of voices so I assumed I'd collapsed and lost consciousness... I wondered how had found me out there. The sun was shining through the windows and I glanced over and saw a steaming cup but I couldn't get it with my arms pinned. It took me a moment to realize that I was covered in blankets. Did he call a doctor? Why? I was pretty sure I just collapsed of exhaustion. I just listened but I could only hear the echos and couldn't make out anything that was being said. When I tried to speak I didn't even have a voice to use. Aw. :(

**Jayrin** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:09 pm

"S-So she'll be okay?" I asked nervously.

"Yes, Jethro. She'll be fine. Just keep her warm and try and make her sleep... and you might want to make a habit of settling down and getting quiet for about an hour before she sleeps. The first couple of days will be hard, but after that, the baby should learn to sleep when she gets settled, not when she's active."

"O-Okay..." I said softly. "Is there anything else I can do for her?"

He laughed. "You should get rest too. She's turned your hair gray."

**Ikuar** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:13 pm

I cleared my throat but that didn't help too much so I just decided to go to them. It was cold once I got the blankets off after lots of trying. I wanted to hear what they were talking about better so I got up, carefully, and after taking that first step I realized that I'd sprained my ankle in the fall and caused myself to fall again. My night gown was tangled in the blankets and that didn't help. T^T Well if my voice wasn't going to get their attention the thud would. I wished I hadn't gotten up, the fall made all my joints hurt, especially because it was so cold. OnO I should have just stayed in bed.

**Jayrin** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:17 pm

I heard a thud and ran back into the room. "J-Janelle!" I exclaimed. "What were you thinking?!" I picked her up and put her back in bed and all the blankets on top of her. "Just... rest! You sprained your ankle and you're too tired to walk anyway,so sleep." >|

No doubt I'd gone gray. I'd actually believed the doctor when he said that.

**Ikuar** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:20 pm

"Bu..." I managed to squeak, "I can't talk louder th-an..." I coughed a little, my throat was so sore and the cold didn't help, "I was fine last night... then I felt really tired..." I got all warm again from the blankets and just stared up at him. Aw... he had gray in his hair. Sad

**Jayrin** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:24 pm

I helped her sit up and handed her the mug of tea I made for her. "D-Don't try to talk.. just ring this bell when you need me. I'll come running." I pointed to the little bell on the table beside the bed. "I know you're really tired... the doctor said you aren't getting enough sleep and it's my fault for letting you do too much... so I'll be cooking from now on. He also said that if you need to snack at night, keep snacks by the bed so you can eat one and if you fall asleep in the middle of it, you'll already be in bed..."

**Ikuar** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:28 pm

I blinked wearily and sipped at the tea he gave me, so glad to feel the heat going down my throat, it felt so much better already. "What? So he's basically saying I have to have bed rest... lovely." I frowned sadly and rested my head against the pillow, "But then you won't have dinner when you come home and I can't just let you be hungry... if I can have it done before you get back..." I realized just how bored I was going to be, I hated to be still even though I knew I needed sleep.

**Jayrin** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:31 pm

"It's okay, I can cook... don't underestimate me." I smiled some and patted her head. "You really had me worried. I thought I was going to lose you last night." I said softly. "So you're not going anywhere until that baby comes."

**Ikuar** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:33 pm

>| "But I'm going to get so bored if I can't bake and cook and... clean." I actually liked cleaning normally despite the usual concept that no one liked to clean up. I just thought it was fun to feel like a wife. "What am I supposed to do laying here all day? I'm going to get fat..."

**Jayrin** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:36 pm

I frowned. "I'm sorry, but I don't want to find you collapsed again... and I don't want to be scolded by the doctor again." He said everything was my fault. "Besides, you need to put on a little more weight anyway. The poison takes a lot of energy from you. You need to gain ten pounds. By the time you've gotten the antidote, it'll all be gone."

**Ikuar** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:39 pm

"Ten pounds? I'm already getting really big and I have to... alright." I stopped complaining, none of this was his fault, it was mine for being ignorant. I was young, I wasn't even twenty yet... I was barely -... I was eighteen. "I forgot that last week was my birthday." I said out loud without thinking about it.

**Jayrin** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:42 pm

I gasped. "Y-Your... I missed your birthday?! How could you forget your birthday?" I frowned. I missed her birthday. :(

Now I needed to give her something...

**Ikuar** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:44 pm

"With all the stress I forgot about it and it's just never crossed my mind... I don't really even care all that much to be honest. I'm not a child." I was starting to doze off but the baby was kicking so it made it hard to even fall asleep. "I don't care about birthdays... unless it's not mine."

**Jayrin** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:46 pm

"Why not?" I asked softly. "Your birth is a very important thing." I kissed her forehead.

**Ikuar** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:47 pm

"I guess it's because I don't have family that's ever really noticed... I haven't celebrated my birthday since I was ten..." I yawned and fidgeted a bit, laying still was already bothering me.

**Jayrin** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:50 pm

"Well... I'll celebrate it with you." I smiled. "I like knowing you've been alive one more year."

What was I saying? This girl... she had me wrapped around her finger so tightly! It was unfair! >|

But I liked it...

**Ikuar** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:52 pm

"We don't have to... there's so much going on already, don't worry about it. You've already given me gifts..." I smiled, I wished he wouldn't stress so much, I knew I wasn't helping any but I wanted him to just relax too. "I love you."

**Jayrin** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:54 pm

"I love you too." I leaned over and kissed her lips softly. "And I'll give you as many gifts as I want, alright? You deserve gifts."

**Ikuar** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:55 pm

"Kay... not too much though, we... have to move eventually." I was slurring a little because I was just that tired. "Has to be easy to pack..."

**Jayrin** Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:59 pm

I smiled and kissed her cheek. "Sweet dreams." I whispered softly. She was adorable. I really did love her too. I couldn't wait to get this contract over and leave. I sighed and glanced to her belly. I wondered... if there was even a chance that she would allow me to treat the baby as my own. I couldn't even speculate on that one... only wonder. Mothers could be unpredictable at times.

**Ikuar** Fri Oct 07, 2011 2:04 pm

As I was getting better from practically being frozen solid I started to sit up in bed more often and... sew. I was actually bored enough to embroider something onto the comforter Jethro and I slept under. I hemmed dresses and mended some of his shirts and finally got around to making baby clothes.

I wanted to clean... I could see dust on the shelf across the room and it was making me anxious. I was in trouble if I got out of bed though. >( Ugh. I tried to ignore it and went back to embroidering different shapes into the comforter.
