And Out Comes the Jealousy, Along with the Betrayal.

Penny stared at the unconscious Diana, who was lying at Penny's feet. She stared at Diana in complete disgust. What was so great about Diana anyways? Caine still found her beautiful, something Penny still didn't understand. Diana wasn't beautiful at all, not anymore at least, with her hollowed face, brittle and broken hair, and snappy sarcastic personality.

Diana wasn't tough enough to be Caine's girl. Well, Penny thought so anyway. For all that Diana looked tough, she wasn't at all. Penny has seen her face when Caine had threatened to kill Sanjit and his family, and watched as Diana begged for Caine to stop. Diana was a bitch on the outside, but on the inside she was as soft as a marshmallow.

She doesn't even really love him. Penny thought. Not like I could. Not like I do. She looked at Diana in pure hatred, wondering why Caine had picked her over Penny. She kicked Diana out of the main room, harder than she needed to. Taking one look at her, people would call her jealous. And she was. Extremely jealous of Diana, because Caine loved her. Penny loved Caine, almost loved him unconditionally. Well, if she wasn't so sadistic she would.

Drake would have been the better match for Penny. Even Penny knew that. They were both twisted, sadistic freaks. They could have been a power couple, kicked Caine and Diana into their places, and take over the entire Fayz. But somehow, she had irrevocably fallen in love with Caine. Sure Drake was cute, if you overlooked the whip hand, but Caine was a god compared to him. Come to think about it, Caine was a god compared to pretty much everyone.

Why couldn't he see it? That she was so much better for him than Diana? He knew that she told Jack to tell Sam how to beat the poof. He knew that she had contemplated switching to Sam's side on multiple occasions. He knew all of this, so why did he still love her?

Penny looked up into the mirror at the end of the hall, after she pushed Diana under a table. She was surprised to see that there were tears running down her cheeks. She wiped them away with her sleeve, and picked leaves and twigs out of her hair. She flattened out the tangles in her hair, and set off to find Caine.

Caine had finally let go of Bug, and the second that his feet hit the floor, Bug took off running as fast as he could, straight out the same door that Diana just left. Caine slumped down in a chair, running his fingers through his damp hair. He really should brush it. And maybe cut it. It was getting a lot longer than he liked it, and he hadn't had a haircut since before the Fayz. He wasn't too skilled with cutting his own hair, though. He absentmindedly thought about asking Diana to cut it for him. She wasn't still angry with him for almost killing Sanjit and his family, was she?

He didn't think so, she hadn't completely ignored him. In fact, she did the opposite. So far, every single one of the three or so kisses he'd gotten from Diana, she hadn't kissed him back for any of them. It was pathetic, Caine knew that. He knew that there were 5th graders back in Perdido Beach that had kissed more girls than he had. And he was the second oldest person in the Fayz.

But this time, when he kissed Diana, everything was different. She hadn't pushed him away, or made a sarcastic remark about him. She..she actually, kissed him back. And when she let go of him, she was reluctant to do so. But then there was what she had told him twice today.

Diana, the girl he has been madly in love with for as long as he can remember, who he for so long thought she hated him, loves him too.

When she told him, it was all Caine could do to stop himself from dropping Penny, and the helicopter, and running over to Diana. But he couldn't do that. That would make him seem weak, ruin what little self confidence he had left if the people he was still in charge of saw what he really wanted. How easily he would consider dropping everything he had for Diana. He couldn't let them know that, even if it was just Diana, Bug, and Penny now. So instead, he acted as if it was no big deal As if it didn't phase him at all.

But he honestly believed that she meant it, it would break his heart beyond repair if she didn't, and was only lying to him. He loved her so much, he couldn't bear it if she was only making it up. She hoped she wasn't lying. He still heard her words, ringing in his ears, even now. No you sick creep, I love you. The words that filled him with happiness, twice today, until he heard the words that followed.

Upon hearing her say the same thing to her, twice, in two different ways, almost broke his heart, her telling him that even though she loves him, too, that they can't be together. Caine thought it would be simpler. If a girl loves a guy, and he loves her back, then there is nothing holing them apart from being together. Like 2 + 2 = 4. Simple. But apparently not so.

Apparently he'd put Diana too much heartbreak. She couldn't deal with him anymore. He had wanted to hold her, tell her everything would be alright, that they could be happy, together. But he knew he couldn't do that. But he knew she couldn't leave either. She'd said that. I've betrayed everyone for you. There was no way she could have gone back to Sam, not after what she'd done to get Caine Jack. But then, the truth slipped out. I ate . . . God forgive me, I ate human flesh to stay with you, Caine! I won't stay with you for this. That's when Caine truly realized how much she loved him. She was willing to eat...that...so that she could be with him. The realization that she loved him that much was shocking. The fact that she actually ate it, was less shocking, but the statement, out loud, was shocking nonetheless. But then, there was her brutal last sentence. He had really only heard the first part, the rest had slipped past him.

I won't stay with you. Did this mean that if he started to not kill everyone they met, that she could be with him? That she could love him? And that they could be a happy couple? He highly doubted that. There was a point that went too far, even for wishful thinking. He shook the thought from his head. Well, she kissed me back, and said she loved me, so that's a positive, he thought. It's two steps forward, one step back, but it's better than nothing.

He should start formulating an escape plan. He knew that though. There would be enough for him and Diana, at least, to last two weeks or so. Two weeks would be enough time to find a way off of this island, wouldn't it? But they had just gotten here, so was the point, really?

Caine went back into the pantry to find something to eat. He was hungry now. He walked into the pantry and grabbed the first thing he saw. He looked down at his hands. A box of fruit by the foots. He vaguely remembered eating these in the lunches his nanny packed him before he was sent to Coates, back in elementary school. He ripped open the jagged end of one of the packages. On the side it said Red Raspberry. He never liked raspberries growing up, but who was to complain now? Food was food, and that was hard enough to get back at Coates.

With shaky hands, Caine pulled the roll out of the packaging and unrolled it, peeling it off of the paper. He ripped off a bit of it, and stuck it in his mouth. It was so sweet, it was almost sour. It had been months, that seemed like years since he had eaten anything so sweet. He ate the rest of the food, and threw the wrappers out in the trashcan at his feet.

When he walked out of the pantry, another package in hand, he was surprised to see Penny seated where he was sitting not even five minutes ago.

"Penny." He said, holding his face clear of emotion. He wasn't sure to think of her being here, actually. He thought he was a goner when he threw her over the edge of the cliff to save Diana. "Well isn't tonight full of surprises? First I find Bug stuffing his face, and now I find you," he said, looking at her, "relatively unscathed. Even though you had to scale the side of a mountain. That's quite a feat if you asked me."

Penny just looked at him for a moment. She focused her attention back to talking. "Well, It was also pretty impressive of me to miss the helicopter blades." She said, glaring at Caine as she undid one of her braids, brushing it out with her fingers before starting on the other side. "Thanks for that by the way."

Caine grinned sheepishly. "Well, you I don't have to worry about, you'd be able to survive. I had to save Diana, I need someone to help me regain Computer Jack on my side, eventually. And let's face it, your not Diana, you can't seduce Jack. I highly doubt he even knows you exist aside from the fact your the short scary girl with braids."

If looks could kill, Caine would definitely be dead by the look Penny just shot him. "I'd watch what you say to me, Caine. I could have your precious little princess jump right off the cliff on her own will again if you push me to."

Caine messed up his hair, not knowing what to do. "What have you got against Diana anyways? It's not like she's really done anything to you. She's always with me, and until lately, you haven't been."

She started putting her hair back in braids again. "I've got everything against Diana. She has the one thing I want."

Caine looked at Penny. "Really? What's that? I thought that being in my group was all anyone ever needed. That and a good look at my hot body and hair." He said, grinning his trademark grin. The grin that had won him over Perdido Beach. The grin that used to make girls beg for a chance to do something for him at his feet. The grin that wasn't really working since he had gone to the Darkness. The grin that he knew would make Penny spill whatever she was hiding from him.

Penny could feel herself conflicted about what to say, but what slipped out of her mouth she said before she could tell herself not too. That grin of his left her mesmerized, and by the time she knew what she had said, it was much too late. "You."

Caine didn't smirk, to Penny's surprise. He almost seemed surprised. "Of course you want me. That's the only reason you stayed around isn't it?" Caine said, and smirked. So maybe he wanted as stupid as Penny had thought he was. She really shouldn't underestimate him so much. She'd be surprised, like this, far too often. "Speaking of Diana, what was that you called her? My precious little princess? I don't think she'll like that name too much. But speaking of Diana, where is she?"

Penny stood up and smirked at Caine. "Oh," she said, trying to sound as innocent as possible as she walked up to him. "You won't have to worry about her for a while. I.. I dealt with her."

Caine raised his eyebrows. "Dealt with her? What does that mean, Penny?"

Penny traced circles on his arm. "Oh, nothing really. Just that she won't, you know, bother us, or anything."

"But why would we be bothered? We're not doing anything to be bothered at." Caine stated simply, playing along with her game. What was the point not to anyways? He'd gain the little pea-brain's trust, and as soon as he could, arrange a nice little accident for her.

"Yet." Penny said, stepping closer to him. "They key word is yet. The key word is always yet."

"Well," Caine said, grabbing Penny's arms, preparing to send her flying into the cabinet full of china dish ware behind her the second she made any more moves on him. "If your sure you've dealt with her."

Penny smiled at Caine and stood on her tip-toes. She wasn't anywhere near his height, not by a long shot. He prepared to shove her back into the china as soon as she closed her eyes, but then the door burst open.

Diana had the worst timing in the world. But Caine had already known that. It wasn't something that exactly needed shouting across the Fayz. Either she had really bad timing, or he just had the worst luck in the world.

She was a mess. Dirt strewn all over her messy hair, and her clothes, and bruises all over her face and arms. But her face, it was by far the worst. She still looked beautiful to him, but the expression on her face was horrendous. Pissed at Penny and him. Betrayed. Heartbroken. Shocked. Upset. Horrified. It was unbearable to look at. Caine pushed Penny with both his hands and his powers, and she was sent flying back into the china cabinet.

Caine turned around to Diana. She walked up to him, and slapped him, hard across the face. "You know," Diana said harshly. "I actually thought you meant it when you said you loved me, I didn't think you would be so stupid as to say it when you didn't mean it, Caine. Because you know, I really loved you. You should have just let me fallen off the cliff. Because right now, I'd rather be dead than be stuck on this island with you and your whore."

Caine went to grab her arm, but she was already running away. "Diana! Wait, Diana! It wasn't what you thought!" But all attempts to convince her it wasn't what it looked like, were pointless.

Pissed off more than he had ever been in his life, Caine took it out on the person who caused it. After throwing her into the shards of glass more times than he could count, he suspended Penny in midair as he walked out of the kitchen and into the night. Then, he threw her into the forest, not knowing if she went over the island, or just straight into the earth or some trees, or even a rock. Feeling accomplished that at least Penny wouldn't be around, if at least for awhile, he walked up to the house, feeling even more conflicted about Diana and what to do than he had earlier.

Author's Note: Thanks so much for the reviews, you guys. They make me happy and want to continue writing this, and make sure it doesn't end up an unfinished project so much other stuff I've started is. Thanks so much! (: I'm totally thinking about incorperating new characters in, so if you want to be in it, just look out for a form or something to fill out in the later chapters. [:
