Wonderland is coming up soon, I promise!

Also, reviews or comments or somethign would be nice, if you want.

It had been weeks since Cain and DG had fought. The law had been altered and both of them were friends again. Raw realized though that DG's dreams were getting worse. Then, one day, DG didn't show up for the morning council meeting, then didn't come down to lunch. Cain went to their room and she was gone. He ran to Raw. "Raw, where is she?" He was careful to control his temper around Raw. One time he got angry and grabbed his coat and Raw started swinging at him, landing a few decent hits. DG's speech about courage had gone to his head.

"Raw sense DG is at peace. She feels home."

"Raw." Cain cautioned. "Don't make me do something I'll regret. Where is she?"

"She at fence. At edge of grounds." Cain hurried to the fence. When he reached the fields, he saw her sitting on the tall, black fence. He walked up behind her and saw her braiding her hair. Her long fingers were moving skillfully and she tied it off.

"When were you going to tell me you were here, Wyatt Cain?" She didn't turn her head, just put her hands by her side to grip the fence. Cain moved to the fence and crossed his arms over the top rail.

"You scared me when you disappeared, kid." He sighed. and looked out over the field.

"I have issues, Cain. I have a secret that would change the way you see me forever." She turned her head. "And I wish I had the strength to tell you."

"We all have parts of our life we want to be kept quiet, kid. And the two of us probably have enough problems and secrets to make another person. Is your secret the reason for all those scars on your back?" She gasped and stared at him. "I saw them when we first started sharing a bathroom. 'Bout four months after we got "hitched" as you and your dad would call it. I'll leave you to your thoughts. Just know one thing Deeg, I could never see you as anything less than you already are." He pushed off the fence.

"Cain," DG swung her legs over the fence, "will you help me down?" She smiled and held her arms out. He grabbed her waist, sending shivers up her spine. The feeling was mutual when she put her hands on his broad shoulders. She landed with a thud between his legs and they stood there like that for a moment, his hands on her waist, hers on his arms. They pulled away from each other and headed back into the castle, into their room, and got ready for bed. Cain was always ready first, and laid down not trying to think about what had happened earlier, at the fence. He closed his eyes and tried to think about sleep, but he kept seeing her eyes, full of pain. He hated it. But then he felt the bed shift and DG's head placing itself on top of his chest. He heard a sigh.

"It was two years before I came to the O.Z., the night I got these scars." He opened his eyes. "A man had came to town a few weeks earlier, and was a lot like you. Kind, sweet, intelligent. I - he- I was flattered that he showed any interest with me. He took me out to dinner a few times, and then I realized that he was controlling and possessive and violent." He put a hand on her shoulder. She continued with a deep breath. "I tried to get away from him. He grabbed me by the hair and started to drag me to a cabin in the middle of the woods. Every time I got loose, he caught me. Then we got to the cabin, and he tied me up. The first time he slapped me, it made me cry, the second time, it only stung, but the third I didn't even feel it. So he hit me harder." Cain's grip tightened on her shoulder. She shifted so she wasn't even close to looking at his face and continued. "He favored knives though, and starting slashing at my back. Before he could do anything else, I began to hear voices and sirens, so I started screaming and he ran away and left me there. He disappeared, and we never found him." Cain's grip loosened a little and DG twisted to look at him again.

"I'm sorry DG."

"Well it makes what we're about to do next easier." She smiled at the confused look that crossed Cain's face. She swung her leg up and over him, put her hands on his chest. DG lent into her first real kiss with her husband. He took his hands and placed his hands on the small of her back. She used her legs and flipped him over so he was on top of her, as her fingers began manipulating his belt buckle and zipper to take off his pants.

"Deeg, are you sure you want this?"

"Wyatt Cain, I have wanted this from the moment we were married."

That was all he needed to hear.
