The Old House

Brian and Angelique Collins were preparing to leave for Collinwood for a private dinner with Brian's father, Quentin Collins.

"I just wished what it was that dad as to tell us tonight." Brian said to his wife.

"I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. With the loss of Maggie, he was in a depressed state of mind. But he seems to be happy now. Let's go and see what brought this on. And behave yourself." She reminded him about his smart mouth and pranks.

"Me? Behave myself? You act as though I've done a lot of bad things since we've been together now since that day we met at the antique store." Brian said in mock horror and placing a hand on his chest.

"Listen darling, if you behave yourself, you can do some very 'bad' things with me later." She said to him in a seductive voice.

As they were heading out the door, Angelique thought she could feel someone watching them. She didn't know why, but it felt like someone was watching out for them, making sure that everyone was alright. She saw that Brian had grabbed the Wolf's head cane that Barnabas had left for him, and it suited him like it did Barnabas for the time he had it. They got into the car, and drove over to Collinwood.

She watched as Brian and Angelique left for the main house, and was sad. She knew that she could never have the life that she wished she could have. She was glad that the two of them were raising Will and their twins with the care and loving that she was yearning for since she was forced to switch places with Angelique.

She never held any resentment towards Angelique, for Angelique had no idea of what was going to happen. She is still resisting both Nicholas and her Master at every turn and chance she gets to be free! There were times she thought she had got away, only to find herself still at their mercy. But she vowed that she would one day and lives her life as a free woman once again!
