Why didn’t you use condom?

My thoughts kept blowing inside of me. What had I done! I used to be so responsible… I was 17 years old… My family was of a big and fantastic race… our race was called Shadowians. It was the race of the shadows. I carried powers inside of me. The gods gave my powers to me. Every Shadowian carry powers…

My race…

Even them were more intelligent than me! I had gone to that party… I guess I got myself pretty drunk. Well I remember how we got into the bedroom… and how enjoyable it actually was… but now it was just a nightmare. I woke up next morning next to… Miki Malony the girl who hated me. We had spent one night together.

I was sitting in my room staring of into space… what if she was pregnant? It couldn’t be. It was just one time…

I kept repeating the words inside my head… hoping they could bring me calmness. My father would kill me… No she wasn’t pregnant it wasn’t that. It was just a one-night stand nothing else. I left my room to find my father and my younger brother Lawrence arguing AGAIN.

My father hated Law. He really did. Law was son of the princess of the fighting Shadowians… I think father hated Law because Law reminded my father about Laura Law’s mother. It had been the woman that had hated my father. “You shut up boy!”

“Don’t touch Detric” Law said stubbornly. I had never noticed it… I never knew that my father was violent. He wasn’t violent against me… but against Law and Detric. Detric was my youngest brother. Detric was handsome, Detric was flirting and Detric was way too much! He could really make me mad sometimes… but I never wanted to hit him…

Then of course there was Lorena. She was 1 year younger than Detric a cute girl actually. She just had a horrible temper… Nah she was okay… I loved her. But my father never hit her… just my two brothers Law and apparently Detric.

“He’s my son boy. I do to my son what I want to” my father said angrily, “unlike your cheating bitch of a mother then”

Law’s eyes started glowing dangerously. I knew he carried powers… I sometimes sensed them… but he always kept them inside. “My mother was faithful to her heart… not to a scum like you,” he said.

“Your little!!” my father raised his hand hitting Law hard. “Your nothing worth. Unlike Nicholas your nothing!”

Law gently raised his hand stroking the blood of his cheek, “unlike you I will become someone” he stormed out of the room leaving my father and I.

“Law!” I yelled after him. I heard the door shut and I knew he was gone. Law was maybe 15 years old… but he always acted like he was older. “Did you hit Detric?” I asked coldly.

My father stared at me, “Detric was rude against me. He told me to stop hitting Law”

I knew… Detric and Law loved each other… they loved each other enough to protect each other. I didn’t want to ask him anything more. I wanted to kill him. I hated him for putting my little brothers through pain. Law was strong. I knew. But what about Detric and Lorena?! What about me for heavens sake! I couldn’t stand the thought of seeing my brother Law gets punished every day because his mother was cheating on my father. What Law’s story was? Oh well… actually Law was my real brother… we shared the same mother. My mom Laura she was the best… She was thrown out in an arranged marriage with my father… yet her heart belonged to my father’s brother. My mom she loved my uncle. When my mom was returning from Shadowia (our home country) with Lawrence she was attacked by dragons… my father… didn’t help her… mom begged me to protect Law…

I guess that was why my father hated Law. My brothers and my sister deserved a childhood… and I couldn’t do a thing… I was 17. Last night was my moment… my moment of being a normal guy… not filled with pride, responsible or anything like it… I had been me. And that moment had a heavy prize… what if Miki was pregnant? We never liked each other. We always argued… what was different last night? Oh well… I was drunk and I think she was it too. I didn’t want to think about it anymore.

Well the next day I wend to school as normally. I met up with a few of my friends, Zachary and Nick. We were popular and we really didn’t care about other people. The morning was beautiful… if it wasn’t because…

I met Nick in the schoolyard where he waited for me, “Hey heard you had a good time with Miki at the party” he said and laughed. He was just this typical guy you know? He played on the school’s football team and he got all the hot chicks and he had probably been through all the cheerleaders twice.

I ignored him. “Have you seen Miki?”

“What’z going on?” Zachary asked. He was a Shadowian just like me. But unlike thousand other Shadowians… Zachary had a problem with ‘S’. He inserted z instead of s and that made some weird sentences sometimes. Zach was okay. He lived with his father and his brother Zar. Zachary was really respons

“We’re supposed to have math, English and history today” I answered. I didn’t want to talk about it. I really just felt like screaming what really troubled me. Zachary was my best friend. Yet I couldn’t find the words to tell him about my problems. The school bell rang, everyone left… I turned around and saw her Miki. She was always so defensive against Zachary and me. I never understood why. I had to talk with her. I needed it. I remember I moved toward her. Her nut-brown hair was so soft… I knew… I had touched it. Her green eyes… her body… she was a perfect girl… if it wasn’t because she always argued with me… then maybe we could go out.

It was like she nodded. But then I saw her wild temper in her beautiful green eyes. “Tasbathi” she said angrily.

“I have a name. I’m Nicholas in case you forgot,” I said.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” she asked. She was blaming me something. I felt it…

“Tell you what?” I asked. I didn’t get it. She knew my name… wasn’t it all there mattered?

“Why didn’t you tell me you was a Shadowian?!” she almost yelled.

I stared shocked at her. “What’s the problem with that?” I asked.

“I’m a dragon”

I remember I petrified, “W-what?” I asked. Dragons… They had killed my mother, they were in constant war with the Shadowians… and the girl I had slept with… was a dragon. “…” I felt like I wanted to faint.

Miki gave me an ice-cold glare, “This is all your fault,” she said.

I was still in shock. She was a dragon. “Why didn’t you tell me you was a dragon?” I asked.

She stared down in the ground, “…I thought you was a normal human,” she said. For the first time I saw her weakness. I saw tears shinning in her green eyes.

“Miki” I raised my hand gently placing it on her shoulder. “…I’m sorry… I just didn’t thought it was important”

She shook her head, “It was” she sighed; “my parents hates me…” she looked away.

I stared at her, “what do you mean?”

“…I’m…” A tear dropped down on the ground. “I’m pregnant… I’m carrying your child” she looked down.

This had been my worst fear. I stared shocked at her, “What?”
