CHAPTER SEVEN
It was the day before DG's birthday and she still hadn't given Timothy an answer. She didn't want to, she was hoping he forgot he even asked. Cain was making his usual rounds of the castle, Raw had decided to tag along. Cain knew that Raw wanted to talk with him, what about he didn't know.
"Raw you really don't need to follow me. I'm capable of doing my job alone." Cain was checking some of the postmen stations.
"Raw talk to Cain." He said as he watched.
"About what? Their really isn't anything to talk about."
"Cain still love DG."
Cain stopped what he was doing and turned to Raw "You are wrong, I never loved her in the first place."
"Lie, hearts don't lie. Birthday tomorrow, going?" Raw titled his head.
Turning back to what he was doing "You know the answer to that."
"You should. Make last hurrah. Make feeling known." Raw placed a hand on his arm.
Throwing Raw off his arm "I have and she turned me down."
"Try again." Raw said more firmly then Cain has ever heard him talk.
Then Raw left Cain's side after he got hungry. All day long that was all Cain could think about. He kept replaying his conversation with Raw over and over. He then thought about his kiss with DG. He put himself out their and she shot him down. It stung pretty bad and he wasn't sure if he could do that again. Then he remembered what Glitch told him yesterday. The prince has proposed to her and she didn't give him an answer then and still hasn't. Maybe that's why Raw told him to go to the party. Maybe their was still hope for him, but does she still feel the same for him? Cain told Johnson that he was in charge till he got back. DG was out on her porch that was to her room. She was drawing, when she heard horse hooves. Standing up she looked over the railing. Cain was riding the horse hard , she wondered where he was going in such a hurry. Her maid came in and told her that Timothy was waiting in the lobby for her. DG thanked her maid and slipped on her shoes. They were at the gazebo, DG on the swing as Timothy sat on the floor against one of the poles in front of her.
"So have you given any more thought to my question?" He asked after a long silence.
"It's just a hard question. I'm still getting use to the fact that I am a princess, have powers, and my new family. I'm still adjusting to all this and then you asked to marry me. It has just been a little over a year. That's a lot to take in."
Timothy looked at his hands as he spoke "You don't want to marry me do you?"
"Timothy maybe, it's just that you have had a life long of all this. How would you feel if you had to go through what I have gone through?" DG moved next to him
"You are right, I would be kind of freaked out." Timothy looked up at her with a smile.
