A Summer for Jezebel
Comments: This story is about Dr.Jezebel's summer with Cain before he decides to find his own way of life, with an excellent suggestion from Mary Weather in the end! Takes place after Delilah falls as my alternate ending. No spoilers.
Disclaimer: I disclaim Count Cain and Godchild but I vow to read it to the end.
Arrival---
A young man wearing a beret gets out of the carriage and opens the door.
"Doctor, are you still sure about that guy?" asked Cassian as he lends his arm to a man with wavy grey hair and glasses.
Jezebel glances up at the gate where Cain's manservant, Riff, stands quietly at the gate. He smirks.
"No Cassian. But without Delilah, this invitation seems quite… alluring," said Jezebel with a hint of amusement in his voice. He received a childishly-written invitation to Cain's summerhouse to 'feast and enjoy the beach… and see some wild sea elephants' or so it said.
There won't ever be any sea elephants in an England beach thought Jezebel, closing his eyes at the thought.
Riff speaks in a louder voice, "Doctor? Would you like to settle down in your room first or meet Master Cain in the living room?"
Jezebel looked up but any trace of surprise on his face was immediately replaced by his solemn expression. "Yes, please show me to my room," replied Jezebel curtly as he walks past Riff into the summerhouse.
Cassian had three bags of suitcase, one of which was his. As he lumbered pass Riff, he looks at him with a wary glance. Riff sweatdrops.
I suppose he and the Doctor will always be suspicious of us… I wonder if Mary's idea was too much to hope for… thought Riff as he hangs up Jezebel's coat.
Meanwhile, in the living room---
"MARY! I cannot believe you invited that-that guy over here!" yelled Cain for the fifth time that day.
His younger half-sister sits quietly in her chair, sipping tea. She smiles at Cain, causing him to flinch. "Big Brother! You said you'd make it up to me for running off into danger and keeping me waiting!"
Cain sighs and smooths back his hair. "Fine. Riff, has that Witch doctor arrived yet?"
"BROTHER! You said you'd tolerate him! Stop calling him names!" shouted Mary, throwing her bear at him.
"I can only tolerate him BY calling him names!" retorted Cain as he removes the bear from his face and tosses it to Riff.
What am I going to do with these two? sighed Riff inwardly. "Master Cain, Dr.Jezebel has arrived but he has decided to settle things down in his room."
Cain huffs, "Feh, that Doctor is just trying to avoid me… or else he's trying to concoct a way to kill me."
"No, but the idea has merit," spoke Jezebel wearing a sardonic smile as he leans casually against the doorway. Cassian was right behind him with his eyes narrowed and arms crossed.
"Who do you think you are?!" cried Cain. He and Jezebel stared each other down, Cain's furious glance versus Jezebel's Cheshire cat expression.
'Oh those two!' whispered Riff and Mary Weather in unison.
Please review and I hope the characters are not OOC!
