DG started to hear voices; they started off very faint but slowly got louder until she could make out one voice or maybe it was two voices.

Both of the voices sounded the same, but one was deeper than the other, DG realised they were arguing with each other. After a minute or two DG started to feel uneasy when she heard the deeper voice; it sent a shiver right through her.

DG slowly opened her eyes and in front of her stood a tall person who was arguing with a smaller person, DG's eye's slowly become clearer and more focused; she was staring at two versions of AZ; one was a younger version, which was from her memories as a child and the other AZ was all grown up as she was now but from just looking at her DG knew it was the witch.

DG slowly started to think of what she could say when she all of a sudden felt a sharp pain in her back which was so painful it made her scream.

This caused both versions of AZ turn to face her; the younger AZ looked all concerned, but the oldest AZ had an evil grin spread across her face.

DG could feel her magic pulsing right through her, she started shaking and her magic felt like it wanted to burst right out of her.

Just then, both versions started speaking to her. "Now you will learn that I'll always be stronger than you, and always will be," the older version said.

"Fight this Deeg, you can do it!" the youngest version said.

DG tried focusing on her younger sister's voice, but the pain was too much, just then she heard another voice completely.

"Listen to me kiddo, you need to follow my voice… Come back to me!"

DG would have smiled at how good it felt to hear her friend Cain calling out, that was if she could overcome the pain that was shooting through her.

"Stay here with me and we can rule the OZ together," the older AZ continued to say.

"No, go back to him. You don't belong here… Follow your heart!" The younger AZ said.

DG could feel herself being pulled away and the scene in front of her started to fade away, but just before the scene went blank she wanted to pull her younger sister with her. "AZ!" DG yelled before slowly reaching her hand out to where the youngest AZ was, but her focus became clear again and came face to face with Cain.

"Shh! Now princess, you're back!" Cain quickly said as he placed his hand in DG's hand that was stretched out towards him. "We almost lost you for a moment there."

DG noticed that Cain's eyes had started to water and she started to feel concern for him and slowly smiled at him, which he returned straight back. She could feel her magic calming down again, but the pain in her back was still there. "What happened?" She asked.

"You were shot, I only…" Cain started to explain.

DG couldn't quite catch what else Cain said; she felt an even sharper pain in her back and she quickly turned her head and saw Raw attending to her back.

"Trying to heal wound," Raw gently said.

DG felt his hand against her back and slowly tried to inch away from it, but she didn't want to hurt Raw's feelings so she just tried to put up with the pain and smiled at him.

"Just give her a few minutes; she has been through a lot," Cain stated as if he could read DG's thoughts.

"Raw give DG time to rest," Raw said before slowly moving his hand away from her.

DG felt only a little relief and at the same time saw worry flick across Raw's face at, not being able to heal her, she hated it when she caused pain and worry on those she cared for, she wish she knew how to ease their worry but the only thing she could come up with was… "Thank you, Raw!"

Raw slowly stood up before saying "Raw, go check on AZ!"

DG started to panic at that name and started to move away from the bed but was stopped when a pair of hands landing on her shoulders and held her down.

"Oh no, you're staying right here this time!" Cain stated in an annoying voice.

DG felt angry, that Cain would still hold her back against her sister, so she turned her head and gazed back at Cain with a don't 'mess with me' look.

"I'm not going to risk you getting hurt again."

"My sister means more to me, than my own life."

"Well, your life means a lot to me," Cain said in a quieter tone.

DG could sense concern coming from him, but the look on his face was something else. A look she hadn't seen before and it made her forget what else she was going to say and just stared back into his eyes.

"...To us, I mean!" Cain quickly corrected himself, but he still kept eye contact with her.

This made DG smile; she had never heard Cain correct himself like that before.

"Um, Raw just go now!" Raw said in quite a shy manner.

DG could hear Raw moving away from the bed, but she couldn't seem to break eye contact with Cain.

"You scared the Furball away!" Cain said in a teasing manner.

DG saw Cain's mouth turn into a smile and that one smile alone made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. "No, that was you and your tin man voice." She continued teasing him back.

Cain slowly let go of DG's hand and reached out and trailed his finger down DG's left cheek before saying "I need to, when it comes to a certain princess like you."

DG realised that Cain was starting to lean towards her and that wonderful feeling inside her belly was somehow making her do the same... before she knew what was happening next, she felt soft lips fell against her own.
