Okay my pretty ones. I've had writers block lately and I haven't been able to update. So...

Here is something. It's short, alas, again, but don't hurt me!! I promise the next chapter will be longer! (If I can come up with something)

Anyway...I reread Tithe not that long ago, and I figured out where Mike was taking Corny so here it is!!

Consider it disclaimed.

Mike stopped the car and said, "Here we are." They were at Cemetery Hill. Corny looked away.

"What's the matter?" asked Mike.

Corny shook his head, "Nothing."

"Bull-shit," said Mike. "Something's wrong. What is it?"

"I told you. Nothing." said Corny, not looking at Mike.

"Look, obviously you're upset about something. Now," Mike grabbed Corny's shoulders and gently turned him around. "Look at me," he said, gently using his finger to make Corny face him. Corny looked into Mike's deep blue eye's. "Tell me," Mike's voice dripped with concern, "What's wrong?"

"It's just-" Corny paused and shuddered at the memory.

"That bad huh?" said Mike, who cocked his head to the side.

"Yeah," said Corny nodding. "That bad." he looked down in his lap. "Maybe I'll tell you one day, but not today. It's too soon."

Mike nodded, "I understand." Corny looked relieved. "So," said Mike, "Can I maybe give you a good memory here?" He looked at Corny and smiled gently.

"Okay," said Corny, "I suppose."

"Alright," said Mike, his grin getting bigger, as he hopped out of the car to the other side, and opened the door before Corny could. "Let's go!" He said holding his hand out. Corny took it and they were off walking.

Told you it was short! Reviews are always welcome!!

PLEASE! They keep me going!!
