What A Difference A Annual Makes
' The one who heard the witches cry .
The one who died .
Shall become the corpse bride.'
" So the princess chosen for the prophecy has returned. The younger one is to be the bride? Lovely. You know there is something better than killing your enemy? There is. Turning them and if not them , the ones they love. There is nothing more fun than breaking your enemy's spirit. " A seductive male voice said while sitting in a chair. His face and body were hidden. " The chosen one has come home. "He looked out of his window in his darkened room. He could see Finaqua all lit up because of a ball. " Enjoy the peace ,Princess, cause it won't last."
Finaqua - Castle, Evening
Wyatt and Jeb Cain worked their way up the palace stairs. Wyatt groaned. " Son ,remind me why we were here again."
Jeb smiled. " Cause we were ordered by your friend, Princess Dorothy, to come. It's been over annual since our victory and the princess's return. It's also been just as long since you have seen her . Plus the Queen wants to talk to us."
Cain smiled remembering DG . " I admit I've missed that kid. She kept me on my toes."
" I know. You say that everyday. Every friggin' day."
Cain got defensive. " I do not."
Jeb chuckled. " Yes you do. You smile less now. When you were around the younger princess a smile was plastered on your face. I miss it. Lo and behold tonight it's back. Interesting."
" Your not gonna bring that silly notion that Dee- that ,umm, the Princess and I have feelings for each other. We don't.We're friends. If that now." Cain frowned. They had reached the top and showed their invites. Cain saw the back of young woman. This young woman had on a white gown that was backless, showing a great back. The woman had raven ,long curls . Cain was instantly attracted and all he had looked at was her back.
Jeb looked at his dad. He gave his father a nudge. " Go talk the girl. Have fun. It's time for you to move on. It's what mom would want. A little flirting never hurt anybody. Plus the poor girl is being besieged by 'stiffed shirts'. She looks to fiery for that. You love rescuing brunettes. Go rescue her from boredom." Cain glared at his son. " What if she knows DG ? You'd be saving her friend."
ZOOM! Jeb watched as Cain raced to the girl's side. Cain looked at the now scared 'stiffed shirts'. He chuckled, the young lady was trying to shoo them off with her hands. Perfectly manicured, red nail polished hands. He then noticed the large diamond bracelet on her tiny wrist. Whoa , this lady was out of his league. He should still save her anyway, she could be DG's friend. " It looks like the young lady wants you fellas to leave."
" And you are?" said a snotty blonde.
A nerdy looking guy gulped. " Shit! He's Wyatt 'Fricking' Cain." At the sound of that name the young lady's black eyebrow raised. The 'stiffed shirts' ran off.
Cain now faced with a very personal view of her back noticed a tattoo that said 'O.Z.' on the lower part of her back. " Nice tattoo. You must really like it here." The lady didn't turn but gave a thumbs up.
When she did this her bracelet fell and showed another tattoo saying 'Emerald Gang' and below it in tiny intials : C.G.R.D. Cain had heard that DG,Glitch,Raw, and himself had been dubbed the Emerald Gang. He smiled. " So you like the Emerald Gang?" She nodded. She still didn't turn but her other hand pointed to the C on her tattoo then him.
" Yes, ma'am I am Wyatt Cain. I noticed you when I came in. All I saw was the back but it took my breath away. It's really hard flirting with your back though. Your probably not interested in an old tin man. You seem to be the Princess's age. I'll go."
The arm grabbed him as he started taking off.He followed the arm up to her face. His jaw dropped. It was DG. DG smiled. " It all depends onthe tin man. Hello ,Mr. Cain long time no see."
He looked at her. Damn she cleaned up good! Her lips were red. Her skin pearly white. His shocked expression turned to anger. " You have tattoos?! How could you do that to your body!"
DG sighed. " And here I thought we were making progress. Things were going so well."
