Chapter One

At the end of Godchild...

Cain and Riff were reunited in the tower together as it collapsed. Both had a smile on their face as they were crushed under the stone. But no bodies were ever found.

5 years later MaryWeather still wondered what became of her older brother, she never believed he was killed. She lived a simple life in the country side with her husband, Oscar, and there soon to be child.

__________________________________________________________________________________

It was a simple life, living out in the country side in one of the many Hargreaves Manors. MaryWeather was given this manor to live in with her husband Oscar and their 3 year old child, Samuel. The Hargreaves family never accepted MaryWeather into the family after the death of Earl Cain, even though he did write in his will that she was his heir and head of the family. They simply ignored the claim once MaryWeather hit 18 and only provided her with Cain's money and this simple home out in the fields outside of London. She had no complaints though. They were far enough from the clutter and smells of London but also close enough that it was less than a days ride if they needed to attain something. Life was nice out here in the open, where she could think and be herself.

MaryWeather contained herself out in the acres of gardens behind the Hargreaves Manor. Flowers of all kinds bloomed lovingly with the help of the sun and the well taken care of soil that her many gardeners attend to daily. Rose bushes, tulips, sunflowers and so many others gave off a pleasant scent as she walked by, rising her usually low spirits each time she passed. MaryWeather's mind was always on the fateful day her brother 'died'. She never believed it happened. There was no proof and something in the back of her mind urked her about it. She knew he got out of it someway and simply disappeared secretly. Tears welled up in her bright blue eyes. How could he of left her alone? To deal with such pain? Misery? She knew she should be happy because he did provide care for her, but to abandon her when she knew he was alive. She shook her head violently.

"Calm yourself down, MaryWeather! If fate brings it, Cain and I shall meet again!", she announced to herself for the hundreth time. If she kept reassuring herself, the thoughts and crying come less. It would happen, she knew it.

Her mind wandered again to that hopeful day. She would take her son, Samuel, to meet his uncle Cain for the first time. Cain would be shocked and most likely angered at Oscar for what he had given her, but also proud that there was a new heir to keep the Hargreaves line alive. Samuel was hope for the retched Hargreaves curse, to clean the name and give the family hope for a brighter future. He had a lot planned for his future. Cain would be proud and she knew he would help Samuel because a strong man someday and teach him the ways of running a family and money. She closed her eyes and smiled as an image of the two appeared in her head. From the distracted, the hand closing around her should made her jump almost two feet in the air with fear.

"MaryWeather! It's only me! Haha..", laughed her husband, Oscar, as he wrapped an arm around her waist, "I knew I would find you out here. What were you thinking so hard about?"

"The usual.." she sighed, "..this time with Samuel though. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Samuel met Cain? He reminds me so much of him...I think they would get along splendedly.."

Oscar gave a small smile and rubbed her chin gently in her hair.

"I know, my dear. If it were possible, I think they would of loved each other the instant they met..."

"What do you mean 'if'?" MaryWeather turned to him accusingly. He knew how she felt about Cain's 'death' and knew it was no death. People over the years had started to ignore her claims about his being alive because there was no possible way, of their knowledge, that Cain and Riff could of gotten out. But her own husband! It was his job to believe her, not betray her!

"Cain is alive..I know it..I feel it. We will meet him again and it will be a joyous occassion!", she clutched her hand to her heart and she backed away from her husband, "..he is out there somewhere and I will find him! Even if it takes me years! My brother and I will be reunited!"

Not waiting for an answer, MaryWeather stomped back towards the manor in distraught, close to tears, with her belief strong in her mind. Nothing anyone says will faze her belief in Cain's disappearing. She knew he was out there, waiting for her. Waiting for the perfect time to come out again. She will be ready and she will be waiting. A servant opened the large glass doors at her approach and MaryWeather disappeared in the long hallways, searching for her child.
