Please review and tell me what you think.

Chapter 20: His Silent Tears

Amore could feel the numbness on her bottom as she sat at her writing desk with a bright smile on her face. She had been at it like this for at least an hour or two but she was almost finished with her masterpiece.

"I'm finished!" Amore yelled with a happy smile on her face.

Amore then picked up the book and closed it then placed back where it was. She then yawned rather loudly and went to take a shower and prepare for bed. Once she was finished with her nice hot shower she snuggled into her bed to feel an extra weight. Amore blew out a breath and turned to see the smirking face of Law.

"You are a grown ass man; get in your own bed for once." Amore said in fake annoyance.

"Then I couldn't hold you when I feel lonely." Law said playing along.

"Aww my poor baby, are you lonely now?" Amore asked with sad face.

"Very lonely." Law said in a low tone.

"Well then I guess you better go tell someone who cares." Amore said smugly.

"How cruel, are you really going to send me away?" Law asked still smirking.

"Have I ever sent you away?" Amore asked as she hugged him close.

Law responded by hugging her back and they soon fell asleep in each other's arms. Not too far away, peeping in the door was Law's crew snickering at their corny love talk.

~Doflamingo~

"I'll always be there for you." A soft woman's voice said.

Doflamingo opened his eyes to see that he was alone in his room and still unable to move. He dreamt of sitting in a garden full of different colored flowers with two young girls playing together then it all went dark and he saw one crying with the other motionless in her arms. Every time he tried to think of who those two girls were he would feel a painful tug at his heart. It irritated him that he could not see their features clearly enough to identify them. Then he heard a woman say something to him before he awoke. He pondered on what she meant then it hit him once he recognized her voice.

"VERGO!" Doflamingo yelled.

"Calm down Young Master, what's wrong?" A maid asked as she ran to his side and soon Vergo entered the room.

"She left on her own, you have to go and get her now!" Doflamingo yelled.

"I'm sorry Young Master but I will not be able to do that." Vergo said.

"WHY NOT?!" Doflamingo asked in rage.

"If Monet is willing to risk her life knowing her odds of getting killed then that is her punishment for disobeying orders. We all clearly told her to stay here and leave the situation alone until you were better but she did not follow those orders." Vergo said sternly.

"Vergo, if I lose her I won't be able to take it! I've already lost them and I don't want to lose her too. I let them go and now I'm like this. I chased them away thinking that they would stay if I made them respect me but in the end I lost them both. One is dead and the other hates me so much that she refuses to give me a break. I can't take any more of this! No matter what…bring back Monet now!" Doflamingo yelled as stray tears ran down his face.

Vergo said no words; he only turned and left the room quickly. Diamante and Baby 5 watched their master as he looked at the ceiling with tears running down his cheeks.

"Take a good look at me and remember something. No matter how strong someone may be today they can always be weak tomorrow." Doflamingo said.

"Young Master you are not weak. I could never stand here and agree to that." Baby 5 said as she shed tears.

"That's the person I wanted you to see, not the person that was hiding behind it." Doflamingo said flatly.

Baby 5 walked over to the bed to sit by his side and held his hand in her own. Doflamingo looked at her with a sad smile.

~Monet~

Monet flew as fast as she could to the location of Law's ship. She had tracked his last coordinates and the direction his ship was headed. She had obviously guessed right because the view of a yellow submarine was coming into her view. But before she could continue on she was hit rather hard in her gut. Soon Monet felt her world slowly fade to black as she was dragged away from her goal once again. She didn't have to wonder who it was that had in their grasp because she could already grasp the familiar scent of Vergo.

"One of these days you won't be able to stop me…No one will." Monet said as she let go of her last bit of consciousness.

"Then until that day you will constantly be pulled farther away from your dreams." Vergo said as he soared back to their master.

I know this chapter is short but I honestly couldn't think of anything else to add in here (Scratches head nervously). I hope you all liked my chapter and remember to tell me if you see ANY ERRORS! See ya later!~
