Hellbreaker, see that was why I can see them getting together or even Tucker and Jazz because she would also keep him in his place.

Sam sat in a chair in her parent's new house as they rushed around to make the proper preparations and all Sam did was yawn, the excitement of it all lost on her. All that she knew was that she would be married in less than a month and she had no say in the whole thing. Several others rushed around the house with millions of things like invites and flowers, dresses and other wedding paraphernalia. Sighing the Goth sank back further in her parent's cushy chair, the color of it a rather bold red that made Sam smile because it looked like her parents had killed something in the chairs, but she was sure if she said that to her mother that the older woman would throw the chairs out that day.

"Oh! This is the perfect color!" her mother gushed as she handed her daughter a bouquet of bright pink roses making said woman blanch at the sight before dropping them on the ground. "Don't act like they are the plague, Samantha because you will be holding these on your wedding day," her mother stated before rushing off, her red hair shifting with like jello on her mother head. Sighing the Goth got up and walked out of the room as her mother oh'd and ah'd at more of the frills of the wedding that the older woman had waited forever to plan.

Heading out toward the guest house she thought of the fact that not even her husband to be wanted to be a part of the planning process and how ironic it was that she was marrying such a man. Sam had always seen herself as marrying a guy with more guts and here she was getting ready marry a spineless jellyfish.

"Ug," she muttered as she entered the small house that served as both a guest house and a pool house with all the swimming apparel in it. Grabbing a suit she changed before stepping back outside. I guess that it's cool that he isn't here because just his presence makes me ill. However was she supposed to live with him? Looking up she saw her mother and father in the window as Pamela brow beat her father into submission and she could tell that was how her marriage was going to be. "Just great. I get to be the man of the house. Joy."

Laying the white towel on one of the lounge chairs she looked back up at the cloudy skies with a smile. The lavender bikini was light and really barely covered her, but with no one to see her she was sure that it would be fine. She had come to lover her body over the years a little better as she filled out, her small chest become more like a couple of ripe melons and her boy-like boy sprouted hips that gave her a rather nice hourglass figure.

Jumping into the water she didn't realize that she had company as her mother walked out onto the apron of the pool with a familiar face. As Sam swam from one end of the pool to the other Pamela headed back into the house leaving her visitor standing there. When Sam came up she fell back in shock at the male staring down at her.

"What the hell are you doing here?" she questioned as she stayed in the pool her amethyst eyes staring the teal eye man with disdain "Don't you think that you did enough damage?" Tucker sighed as he took a seat on one of the lounge chairs that littered the apron.

"I didn't mean it, I mean I was trying to cheer him up and for your inform-" Sam cut him off as she climbed out of the pool, her eyes flashing as she grasped at towel before moving to stand before him.

"No! I need to inform you that you are not welcome in my fucking presence. I hate you both!" When the techno-geek opened his mouth she held up her hand not willing to hear anything that he wanted to say. "You both were the only friends I had and I thought that counted for something, but for you to go out there and fucking slander me to the guy that I loved! That- I don't even know what to say to you!" Throwing her hands up she screamed out for her parents before entering the home. Her father appeared at the door, his blue eyes taking in the male by his pool and the look on the poor guy's face.

"I don't know what the pair of you did, but you better fix it because she really does miss the pair of you even if she won't admit it." His wife appeared at his side with a look of contempt for Tucker and the absent halfa.

"Don't give them ideas," she hissed in his ear before looking at the young male. "Okay, sure whatever you did hurt her, but this is for the best. She needs to be in her circle and marrying one of her own is for the best." Tucker frowned at those words and thought about Jeremy had said. The pair before him seemed to agree on everything, but Sam had always told them that not everything was as it seemed and her parent's marriage was not any different. Nodding to them he passed them as he headed toward the front door. Little did he know that the raven haired heiress was watching him leave from her window, her eyes overflowing with tears even as she cursed them.

A week later Maddie walked over to her husband, a letter in her hand with their names on it, the pretty cursive catching the red headed woman's attention. Danny entered the house with his sister in his arms, the child squirming as she reached for her mother, the purple eyes of his mother twinkling as she took the child before handing the mail to Danny.

"Could you open that?" The halfa looked at the creme colored envelope, a foreboding filling his heart as he ripped it open and an invitation fell out, the cream and rose colored invite floating across the floor. Everyone looked over at it as Danny leaned down to pick it up and promptly upon reading it he dropped it again as he left the room. Jack leaned over and grasped it as Maddie leaned close to read it and then they knew why he was so upset.

You Are Invited to The Joining of

Samantha Alexandria Manson

and

Infinity Apparition

In Holy Matrimony

What struck them was the date that it was set for. They were to be married in less than three weeks, a date unheard of since none of them were sure of how long she had been engaged.

As the pair stood there conversing with Mina gurgling Danny took to the skies as the sun still shone on the town below. Looking down he found Sam's parent's house and touched down on the roof as he looked out at the lawn only to find Sam sitting by the pool with an umbrella hanging over her. She wore her black skirt like she had as a teen with the same black top, but her boots were off as she moved her feet in the clear pool waters. Danny heard Sam begin to talk and knowing that no one was around he wondered if she were talking to him, but he watched as her feet continued to move in the pool as she talked, her voice sad and yet so full of frustration.

"Married off before long
Married off for a golden song
Cut out of life
Bound in contract
Existing and yet so deprived

Please desert me
My soul fades and withers
My heart indifferent to emotions

Contracted to exist
Contracted to absent
A veiled secret
A bartered life
Adored and yet so disdained

Please desert me
My soul fades and withers
My heart indifferent to the emotions"

Suddenly she stopped and looked up to find him staring at her, his cerulean orbs full of confusion and she turned her back to him again, her words gone, the silence stretching between them.

"Sam, what is going on?" A dry chuckle followed his question.

"As if you care," she said softly, her voice so cold that Danny was the one that felt a chill now as he floated down to stand next to her, his shadow falling over her form. "What do you want from me?"

"To know what happened," he said simply.

"I fell out of love," she said back as she refused to look at him. "I happens and it happened to me. I was just infatuated with you and acted stupidly, but it's good that you put me in my place. I needed that because a good slap in the face wasn't available." The halfa was growing more confused by the second! What in the world was the Goth before him talking about?

"Sa-" Like had done to Tucker she stood up, her wet feet leaving marks on the apron as she turned to look at him, her eyes like amethyst stones as they bore into him.

"I don't want to hear it, Danny. I grew up and out of that sick little fantasy because us rich girls eventually realize that we can't be normal and we need to stay in our circles where we are normal."

"You aren't normal," the halfa said as he grasped her upper arms. "You are an individual and that is what you will always be." Without warning she shoved him off. Did I say something wrong?

"Well, this individual is getting married by the end of this month and then I won't be an individual because I will be part of a couple." Danny opened his mouth to say more, but Sam shook her head and walked off. Danny reached out, his hand grasping her wrist. The Goth he was holding threw him such a look of death that he released her wrist as if she had just burned him. "I gave your parents an invite and you are more than welcome to come, but after that you will never see me again. I hope that you enjoy those last moments!" Going in she slammed the door and even though Danny wanted to go in and get her to understand what had happened he knew that at this moment she wouldn't so turning he took to the skies as she watched. "That's right. Desert me."
