LPOV~

Lucinda didn't understand why but she was alive. She sat up on table and looked down at her hands, they showed no signs that she had just survived a fire. Her hair, feel in perfect ringlets past her shoulders. The only proof that she was ever in distress was the pile of ash that was her clothing on the floor. Had she finally survived the curse? Her thoughts had been corrected. If she and daniel committed the ultimate act of affection for each other before the curse could complete its cycle it would go out of wack and break. Her standing as flesh and blood proved it. She wanted to find Daniel right away and celebrate with him. She wanted to drink in the happiness and relief that she expected to see on his face when he saw her body perfect and unharmed. She wanted to feel him touch her freely with no pain and she wanted to do so many things to him that he never imagined. A small smirk grew on her lips as she looked down at herself. This body, her body was now Daniels Body. Newly purchased by thousands of years of waiting. And all though she still couldn't believe she was worth the wait she was ready to have him explore and take in ever inch of her for himself.

…But where was he?

"Daniel?" She called out expecting him to appear before her instantly. She called for him again as she looked around the burned down cabin. The place was viewable from all angles and most of the walls had been burned down so there was no place for him to hide. And why would he anyways…

"Daniel" she stepped out of the cabin through the way that faced the sea and peered down the edge of the cliff.

"Daniel" She smiled in relief as she saw his stunningly perfect form laying on the shoreline, letting himself be drenched in the flames. She looks down at her naked self and turned back to the cabin back to look for something to cover herself but finds nothing. He iwasnaked still as well, a perfect sight unlike any. So she figured that she was in the clear to do the same. So she makes her way down the cliff toward him. Though once she finally hits the sand she is stopped. Stopped by the last person she wanted to see her like this.

Her arms flung over her chest and she literally fell onto her knees to hide her crotch. But it was to late

"Cam!" She hissed and shoot her face downward. She could here him snickering softly to himself which caused her face to flare up bright red.

"Not as impressive as I imaged" Cam chuckled and kneel down beside her. " I see you did the deed."

"How did you-" She started then realized it was obvious after he raised his eyebrows at her. She and Daniel were both naked and the cabin had nearly been burned to the ground.

"Close your eyes" She demanded and rose to her feet preparing to make her way to Daniel only to have Cam grab her arm and hold her back.

"He can't see you.."

Luce looked back to see Cam gazing up at her, his eyes sullen. Luce took another look at Daniel and backtracked to here position at Cam's side.

"Am I dead?" She asked instantly. Wondering if infect the curse had not worked after all. Panic rose in her throat making it hard to breath. Cam rolled his eyes and pulled his t-shirt over his head and popped it down over her head. As he was helping her into the sleeves he said " I can see you. You're alive".

"Then why can't he?"

Cam shrugged and looked back at Daniel as he spoke "Daniel thinks he killed you last night. If I had not dragged him from the cabin he would of let himself burn until there was nothing left but bone. But in fact, the curse took a turn. You two having sex meant you were slapping the rule of the curse in the face. The curse made it so Daniel could never attempt anything like last night on you again. So in a sense you died. But only to him."

Lucinda didn't know what to think. Part of her couldn't believe it. It was Cam after all. She left Cams side, hugging the t-shirt to her sign and ran across the sand to Daniel's side. She shook him by the shoulder and screamed at him. Never did he even flench as if she hadn't touched him. His eyes were wide and red from crying and his body was so tense , as if he were a statue.

"Daniel!" She screamed and gave his body a shove. Nothing.

"Your not being funny!" Another.

"I'm right here! I'm here! Its over!" She screamed loudly and began pounding her fists against his body. Cam came up behind her and grabbed her by her armpits and lifts her. She screamed in angst and struggled against him.

"What are you doing?" Daniel lifted his head in her direction. For a moment Luce could have sworn he had spoken to her and her heart skipped a beat. But when Cam replied instead gulped back a sob.

" Just checking on you" Cam dropped Lucinda's arms and let her fall to the sand. She crawled on her knees towards Daniel and wrapped her arms around his neck and let out her tears. She kissed his cheeks and his mouth, wrapping her hands though his hair and hugging him tightly in the best way she could without him moving with her.

With her lips against his neck he replied " Well I'd rather you not..It's not like I can really do anything to deal with this pain."

"No Daniel I'm right here..its fine" Luce muttered wrapping her arms around his neck. Cam sighed and rests a hand on his side. "I know that but…just think about this as a fresh start, no more Lucinda means no more pain."

Luce felt like she had just been stabbed by Cam. She waited to see Daniel's reaction only to see that he had none. It was more like he was thinking about what Cam had just said.

" I mean of course it will hurt for a decade or so. But what is that in time for us , really. Besides if there is no Lucinda then it'll be easier for you to focus on the war coming soon. And when thats over maybe you can but some real thought into what side your going to be on…"

"Cam" Daniel cut him short, " if you don't mind I'd rather not think about anything like that right now.."

Cam didn't say anything for awhile but finally gave a sullen nod. He motioned his hand quickly to beckon me to come with him only when I didn't move he sighed and bend down and grabbed her. To Daniel it seemed like a hug and he looked at Cam bewildered lucky not to see the scene of a half naked Lucinda in the arms of his enemy. Cam shrugged " Just a brotherly hug…" he muttered and before Daniel had a chance to respond Cam turned his back and carried Luce down the beach.
