A/N Thank you for the great responses for this story. Shout out to ObviouslyAnnoyed for making my day with your review. Here is the next chapter:
There was a knock on the door.
"Sam." Diana whispered. He was with Dekka, which would make breaking the news a lot harder. Would they try to make her stay? "What are we going to do?" she looked up at Caine.
He didn't have a lot of experience being very…. Civil… with his brother. Getting into a fight, about Diana nonetheless, would not be easy to keep peaceful. "I'll try to be on my best behavior" he chuckled.
Standing now, as if preparing for a battle, Diana called out, "Come on in."
While Sam was walking in he started babbling, "We got some more fi-" The look on face was a mixture of confusion and anger. "What are you doing here?" A glow started from his hands.
"I'm taking Diana back with me." Caine began with a menacing tone in his voice, but remembering the situation, he slowly lowered it.
"Like hell you are."
Diana remained silent, bracing herself for an outbreak of a fight at any moment. Right when it seemed one was about to happen, Dekka came running in, "Sam, some kids are already begging for some fish, but I told them- What is HE doing here?"
Diana knew she needed to say something quick, "Don't worry. He's not going to hurt anyone. He's just here to take me back to town."
Dekka's face look disgusted, "And you would go back with him? You are so stupid, and after you come to us, running away from him."
Caine's face went dark. Even though Diana said she was going to go back with him, Dekka was right. She DID run away from him.
"- We cared for you. After everyone told us to ditch you, Sam and I told everyone that they had to be nice to you. You got to live better than everyone else, more food, everything! Now you say you are just going to leave?"
Diana started to boil, "Yes, I am just going to leave, because it is MY life, and MY decision. I would think that you would happy to have such a burden lifted from you."
"Well you ungrateful little-"
"Dekka!" Sam yelled.
Dekka was thrown back. Almost smashing the door she came through. She was lifted again and thrown back, this time completely wrecking the door. Caine stood over her, "Try to finish your sentence… I dare you."
Grabbing his arm, Diana pulled him away, "Caine- don't do this."
Caine stared at her. He didn't like it, that she just let Dekka talk to her like that. The old Diana would have destroyed her. But that was just it, Diana was now broken, because of him. He stepped back reluctantly.
"I'm sorry." He whispered. Something told Diana he wasn't talking about Dekka.
Now turning her attention to Sam, "I'm sorry it turned out like this, but this is what I want."
"I can't stop you, but I think you need to know exactly what you want before you make your choice."
"I know, this is what I want."
"Then I will have to let you go."
More calm, but still with a little fire to her voice, Dekka rose up, "Sam! You can't just let her go back with this, with this- PSYCHOPATH!"
Sam looked from Dekka to Diana, "We aren't involved with this, everyone is free to choose what they want."
Dekka let out a sarcastic sigh, "Fine, go. But just so you know, don't even THINK about crawling back to us next time he hurts you."
Without wanting to start anything else, Diana went to her room, grabbed her bag and almost dragged Caine out.
"Those are all your things?"
"I didn't really have time to bring too much when we left the island." She winced at the bad memory.
Caine squeezed her hand tighter, "Thank you for coming home."
