"Bleh." I scrunched my face up in disgust at the concoction my mother had given me to try. It was supposedly good for pregnant women but all I knew was that it tasted like dirty straw and rotten apples.

Arms looped around my waist and Allen kissed my cheek. "I think you're getting fat." He said.

I rolled my eyes. "Because that's just what every girl wants to hear."

He hugged me tight, breath tickling my neck and I giggled. "You couldn't hate me if you tried." He said.

I smiled and kissed him. "If you say so."

"Are you coming to bed?" He murmured.

I nodded. "I'll be there soon."

He walked to the bedroom and locked the front door, shutting the living room curtains and turning off the lights. When I finally joined Allen, he was already softly huffling in his sleep. I kissed his forehead and slipped under the sheets next to him. "Sweet dreams." I whispered before slipping off myself.

My dreams were anything but sweet. I was hovering in the middle of a storm, lightning rippling through my insubstantial form and wind tearing at my hair.

JOIN ME! Boomed a voice.

"What? Who are you? What am I doing here?" I asked.

I AM THE GREAT GOD URANUS, THE DEFEATED ONE WHO WILL RISE AGAIN. The voice seemed to tear at my mind and reverberate within my very bones. Terror wracked my body.

"What do you want?" My voice was broken as I shouted into the darkness.

YOU WILL SERVE ME. YOU WILL BE MY EYES AND MY EARS. YOU WILL HELP ME AND DO MY BIDDING.

"And what if I won't?" My voice was small.

An image flashed through my mind of a happy toddler giggling and laughing. THIS IS YOUR SON. IF YOU REFUSE ME THEN HE WILL DIE AND YOU WILL BE HELPLESS TO SAVE HIM.

"Son..."

WILL YOU HELP ME? WILL YOU BE MY INSTRUMENT TO SEEK REVENGE UPON THE LEGION THAT TRIED SO HARD TO DEFEAT ME?

I had heard the stories of his last attack, we all had. And I couldn't... What I did next was wrong and I regretted it but I had to save the baby; Allen's baby. Our son. "I will serve you."

I opened my eyes to darkness, tears streaming down my cheeks and sobs racking my body as his voice still echoed in my eardrums. Allen pulled me close and hugged me to him, soothing me and telling me that it would all be okay.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered.
