Lookie here, I did get this chapter up after all... it took me a while... but once I got thinking like Cadinia... the ending happened.
Now, for the disclaimer:
Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers, or any songs in this story, all I own is Cadinia and her family.
Cadinia
I wasn't really out and about the rest of the week or the one after that.
Willie and Merrick respected that and left me alone.
It was nice…except… today, for some reason, I had this… this feeling in my gut… like something really bad was about to happen…
Anyway, as I walked out to the front to start working, I saw Merrick coming in from the back.
Willie was out, talking to some local contractors… something about buildings being eaten?
"Hey." I let out softly as Merrick came closer.
He looked over at me and nodded, "Hey… sleep well?"
I nodded, "Yeah… what were you doing out there?"
He shrugged, "Just a little work…"
"Willie didn't ask you to cut wood… did he?" I tried to recall if he'd asked that last night, but I couldn't.
He sighed, "No… I was just doing something for myself… and, yes, Willie knows I'm doing it."
I raised a brow, "But you don't wanna tell me?"
He shrugged as he grabbed a broom, "Don't see the point, really."
I nodded softly, though it kinda hurt, "Oh…"
Merrick looked over at me as he tossed me a broom and we both started sweeping together.
"I'm just glad you're not still mad at me." He relented.
"Not mad." I corrected, "Disappointed."
"What'd be the difference exactly?"
I opened my mouth to answer, but quickly closed it and started sweeping, "Whatever, man…"
He looked over at me before he gently took the broom, stopping me from sweeping, "Your brother was rude, ya know, you don't have to listen to what he says."
I scoffed, "I'm assuming you're talking about Gisli… and… I have to. He's my brother."
"So?"
I rolled my eyes, "I know you don't have any siblings… but I've told you before… I'm the black sheep… Gisli's just… the pure white."
"But that doesn't mean you have to listen to him."
I sighed, "I know… but… Gisli… my grandfather… and my eldest brother… well… they kinda can't stand it when I break rules or get involved in stuff… or cause bad things to happen…"
"It wasn't your fault."
"Course it was." I sighed again, then shook my head, "But… it… it doesn't matter right now… we… we need to move on… move past it…"
He kept the broom from my hand, "Cadi…"
"Merrick, please… just… move on." I begged.
He bit his lip before he gave the broom back, "Fine."
I nodded softly as I held it in my hands and started sweeping the floor again.
Half an hour later…
After we finished our morning chores, I was tuning my guitar, making sure it was perfect.
As I was, I heard Merrick playing pool… so it relaxed me a little to know I was gonna be left alone.
However, that ended when my Ninja instincts took over as a gang of bikers walked in.
"Not this again." Merrick growled as he got beside me, "You may wanna go put that up…"
"And let you mess with these meatheads alone? No way." I denied.
"Your guitar is wood, and if anything were to happen, it'd break easily." He whispered.
I blinked. He had a very good point.
"Alright… just… don't beat them back yet." I sighed softly before I took my guitar and walked to my room.
That, however, was not without a lot of catcalls and whistles in my direction.
As I put my guitar down, I heard several things break in the front… which could not have been good.
I slowly walked out and saw that… yep… Merrick was already kicking them out.
I put my head in my hand as he literally threw the last one out and slammed the door shut.
"Howler?" I let out.
"They had it coming!" He insisted.
I groaned and looked up, "I spent some of my banished time around men, believe me… I can handle those stupid calls."
"Doesn't matter." He denied.
I sighed, "Merrick."
"I don't care… they weren't gonna do it with me around." He informed me.
While I wanted to ring his neck for not letting me help kick them out, I shook my head instead.
"Fine… whatever…"
He nodded back before the wind blew at both of us.
"Are you kidding me?!" I groaned.
"Come on." He let out quickly before we ran out.
15 minutes later…
We were both morphed and running up to the scene.
When we got there, I was surprised, to say the least.
There was some kind of monster with… well… let's just say I have officially lost my already shrinking apatite for like… the next month.
One was covered in mouths, with one especially large one on its chest.
Yeah…. I won't be eating at all for a while for sure.
Merrick and Cole jumped through the air and went to strike the one with mouths down as I went low and Ninja Ran at its legs….
Let's just say it didn't go as planned… and I wound up behind held by it as the freak held Merrick's and Cole's blades like they were nothing.
"These buildings are not food for Orgs!" Cole grunted as the Org held us stiff.
"I eat whatever I want!" The freak spoke through its chest mouth… then through the one on its 'head', "Whenever I want!"
He turned their blades and threw me to the side before the Org threw them over his shoulder and they landed on the ground.
I growled and got back up, "Why I oughta…!"
"No!" Merrick called over to me, "Go find the Princess! We'll be fine here!"
"But!"
"Now!"
I growled, turned and ran off, demorphing so I could actually Ninja Streak when I was far enough away from the battle.
4 minutes later…
Didn't take long to find her… or some little kid.
They were walking through one of the construction sights close by, on two different sides of the builds
To that… the little kid was a horrible hider, but the Princess didn't see him… but seemed to be looking for him though.
So, I sighed and walked up to the kid.
"Kid?"
He looked up at me, "It's Kite."
"Yeah… kid?" I didn't care, "That girl over there's wanting to talk to you… go over there."
"Why?"
"Listen, I'm not a big fan of kids anyway, and I've been having a rough couple of weeks, so if you could just-" I was about to let out when the Princess opened up a delicious smelling meal.
My stomach turned, though, at the smell since I'd forced my body to barely eat.
"Alyssa's Homemade spaghetti…" She continued and the kid finally moved through one of the pipes over to her, "My favorite."
"I'd like if you could close that damn thing!" I mentally moaned as I could feel my face turning green.
I heard her open another box and I was really having trouble staying focused.
"I don't think I've ever smelled food this good." Princess Shayla let out… and I suddenly realized her plan.
Get the kid out of hiding.
"Well… I think I'm going to have to eat it all by myself." She went on and I rolled my eyes, nearly falling over at the surprising effort.
Who'd be dumb enough to fall for that?
I mean, Solar Ninjas were taught at a young age not to be gullible… so it's hard to believe anyone would.
Kite slowly moved forward and I sighed with relief… before I finally threw up.
After a few heavy heaves, I suddenly sensed something close by… and it was not good.
I moved down the path and saw that Org walking up to them and if what I understand is true… then its gotta be hungry for Princess Shayla's food too.
"So this is where that wonderful smell is coming from!" The Org got their attention.
As much as my stomach hurt like a thousand glaciers hitting it… I knew I had to protect the kid and the Princess… pain or no pain.
I leaped over the pile of cylinders and came to a rolling stop in front of them, popping back up and getting in my fighting stance.
"Who are you?!" The Org questioned.
"None of your business." I growled before I held up my morpher… only to glance back at the kid.
The monster advanced, so I made the other two back up as I kept my stance.
"Rangers, help." Princess Shayla let out and I glanced behind me to see her talking into her necklace… which I think would be like her com-link, "Mandilock is after me and Kite!"
"And me!" I shouted, feeling angry, "Kinda protecting you guys right now when I don't have to!"
"Give me that fabulous food!" 'Mandilock' demanded.
"Fat chance." I snarled, "If anything, I need it more than they do anyway."
"Stay away from us." Princess Shayla added.
Mandilock sent a blast at us…
The Princess shielded 'Kite' and I readied myself to take the full blow.
But… Merrick came in and protected all three of us.
"Merrick!" Princess Shayla breathed out while I growled it in anger.
I could've protected us a lot more than he could've.
"Princess Shayla, you and Kite get to safety!" Merrick instructed them and I forced myself not to roll my eyes.
"Hurry." I added anyway, not wanting them to get hurt.
"Yes. Come on." With that, Princess Shayla led Kite away from the impending battle.
"We'll talk about saving me later… right now… I think it's time we beat this creep." I let out.
He nodded and readied his Lunar Cue.
I held up my morpher again, "Wild Access!"
Okay… I swear I activated the morph… but… but nothing happened!
"What the heck?" I whispered as I looked down at my morpher in shock.
I couldn't morph… and… the Horse Crystal was frozen solid… again!
But… that's impossible!
"Nobody gets away with interrupting my meals!" Mandilock got my attention again, "Hand over the food!"
The Org went at Merrick as I had to step to the side…
My best friend and the Org went at each other and I couldn't help but feel useless…
And I hate feeling useless.
"Alright… that's it!" I snarled, pulling off my gloves and threw them to the side before I ignited them.
Mandilock didn't notice… and neither did Merrick… which is good, cause I'm pissed at him too.
So, I threw my hands out and let the fireballs that emerged fly at the intended target of Mandilock.
Mandilock, however, turned Merrick in the direction of the balls and punched him closer… and my eyes went wide as he cried out in pain when they made contact.
Not good.
"Sorry Merrick!" I called before I quickly helped him up, "Wasn't expecting him to do that."
"It's fine." He shoved my hands away.
Merrick
I know Cadi was trying to help… but her powers were useless against an Org like this.
I pulled out my Lunar Cue again and put it in its Saber Mode before I went at Mandilock again.
While I did get in a few good shots… The Org still grabbed me and threw me, hard might I add, into a set of construction equipment.
I turned my head and I saw Mandilock send a blast of energy at the Princess… but I could barely do anything about it… and I hated that.
"Merrick! No!" I barely was able to see Cadi's… entire body glow with flames before she threw them at the Org, sending it back.
She stumbled over to me, clearly weak… but also trying to hide it.
"Are you okay?" I asked weakly.
"I'm not the one that got thrown back like that." She let out, clearly growing pile, "I'll live, you on the other hand… you're lucky you didn't demorph."
She moved me a little behind the stools… which is when I heard Mandilock call out in surprise.
"My duke org!" Followed by him running off.
"Come on." She helped me back up, "We need to check on the Princess… and find that bra… kid."
I nodded weakly in agreement before we headed off.
5 minutes later…
We helped the Princess onto a stool and I quickly checked her over.
I say I because Cadinia started throwing up close by.
"Cadi?"
She held up a hand before looking up and wiping her face, "I'm fine, thanks so much for caring. You know, you could be a little more considering and try to force feed me… at least then I'd sorta get something to eat instead of starving myself to death…" She trailed off.
"It's not-"
"Shut up about it not being my fault. Of course it is!" She snapped, "Dad died on my watch. It's my responsibility… like this city is to you… my family is important to me… probably more important than this stupid…. Gah!"
Her sudden scream of pain made me jump before she threw off her Solar Cell and grabbed her wrist.
As she did this, I suddenly heard the Rangers trying, and failing, to summon their WildZords.
"We'll talk about your dad later." I decided to leave that argument hanging before I turned my attention to Princess Shayla, "Something's wrong with the WildZords… they're not responding. The rangers are in big trouble."
"Something in this part of the city… is keeping the Zords from coming." The Princess let out.
"Way to state the obvious." Cadinia grumbled as she walked over and I checked her wrist.
"It's frostbitten."
"What is it with you Animarians and stating the absolute obvious?" She grumbled, "I know that… my fire's not working on it either… whatever Apple's keeping the WildZords away… it's broken my connection with the HorseZord… and to that… my morpher… just like with the DeerZord… only on a much larger scale this time."
As we were talking, I noticed Kite trying to run off.
But, Cadi grabbed the back of his jacket and pulled him over to us. "Hold it, squirt!"
"Where do you think you're going?" I added kindly.
"I have to protect their home… protect if from the Orgs." He answered simply.
"Protect who?" I questioned.
"The Animals." Kite replied.
"It's not your responsibility, kid." Cadinia denied with a shake of her head, "Besides, there's more than animals around here."
Before we could say more… he ran off.
While I wanted to snap at Cadinia for that comment, I simply stood up and followed after Kite… the Princess doing the same… Cadinia following soon after.
4 minutes later…
We made it to another part of the construction site… and I was shocked, to say the least when I looked around at some uncovered statues.
"The Ancient Burial Grounds of the WildZords…" I whispered in shock.
"One… Ancient Burial Grounds… do you not know anything about Pop Culture and how bad that is?!" Cadi growled, "Two…. There's a burial ground for WildZords and you sought fit to lock the TerrapinZord in a shell at the bottom of the ocean?!"
That second part made me wince… especially when I saw her flame with a lot of rage… her steps and hands both burning with blue flames.
"Whenever I look at these stones… I get… sad." Kite let out, ignoring Cadinia, "They seem angry."
"Why are they even here to begin with?" I glanced over at Cadi, wanting to shut up… but she didn't, "I mean… it's a pretty stupid place to bury rocks… and that's coming from someone who prefers fire."
"This is where those who fought in the Battle of Animaria rest." I explained through gritted teeth.
"The Zords that are buried here are mad at the humans for building on their burial ground."
"Uh… speaking as one of those humans… it's not their fault Animaria's supposed to be a myth." Cadi noted.
"These rocks are preventing the Zords on the Animarium from hearing the rangers." The Princess finished either way.
I stepped forward… cause I think I've got a crazy idea that just might work.
"So they're the reason the Living Zords can't come down to fight?" Cadi questioned, "Okay… saying it now; I hate vengeful Ghost!"
As I walked forward, I finally caught some sort of indention in the ground.
I rushed forward to investigate further and a slight smirk appeared on my face before I started brushing the dust away from it so I could read it.
As I did I started to notice it was all in Animarian.
"Hey, guys! Come here!" I called.
The three rushed forward and Cadinia raised a brow.
"What's all these glyphs?" She questioned.
"It's Animarian." I replied, "…We had a written-"
"I don't need an explanation." She rolled her eyes, "What's it say?"
I looked back at the writing and translated easily, "In memory of those who fought bravely for Animaria against the Orgs."
Cadinia got down beside me and rubbed some dust away from another part, seeing something I couldn't understand and whispered the translation so only I'd hear. "But not those caught in between."
I ignored that part and got up, "It's the Ancient Warriors… all my friends from 3,000 years ago… I'm supposed to be here with them."
I also ignored the look on Cadi's face as she got back up after I said that.
"Yeah… well… they're messing everything up so how do we fix it?" She sighed, looking away from me.
"Please let our animals help us." The Princess started, "Let us stop the Orgs from destroying this town… Please don't let history repeat…"
"Translation in modern words; Get over yourselves and leave this town alone!" Cadinia grumbled, folding her arms in clear annoyance as only I could hear her.
After her threat, which I honestly didn't think would work, either way, the statues glowed… and… and came together with the tablet.
I heard Cadi groaning softly and I glanced over at her as we looked over the new statue… though the three of us backed up.
"The heck is that thing?" She questioned softly, then looked back at us, "Guys? Come on… they're just statues… nothing special."
"I don't believe it." I whispered… both to her statement and what I was seeing before me.
The statue let off this great big light… that shot into the sky… to the Animarium!
Cadinia suddenly gasped and turned to face us, "Merrick duck!"
I blinked before I quickly did… followed by Cadi's morpher flying onto her wrist, which easy wrapped itself around it again.
As I watched, I decided I needed to get to the fight.
But, as I turned, Cadinia suddenly fell to the ground, groaning in… in pain!
"Cadi!" I got beside her quickly, "Are you okay?"
"Get… get away… from that thing…" She groaned, "That blast… and my morpher… I… I don't feel…"
I nodded in understanding, "Right… let's go."
"But the others-"
"Have the Isis Megazord." I reasoned simply, "Right now, you need to care about yourself."
She remained silent as I helped her up and carried her as quickly as I could away from the impending Megazord fight, and the statue.
Third Person
Half a day later…
The Rangers, meaning mostly Cadinia's Ninja abilities, moved the statue to a cliff-side, away from any construction, letting everything return to normal.
All of the original six Wild Force Rangers and The Princess were paying their respects to them, in hopes, it would please them to never let what happened the previous day happen again.
Cadinia watched them from afar, not wanting to disturb anything… or throw up… she still barely ate last night.
As she turned to walk away, she glanced back at where Kite was, also watching from afar.
She frowned, then felt her phone buzz.
With a soft growl, she pulled it from her back and put it to her ear, "Yes?"
She kept walking as her brother's voice spoke.
"Hey… Dinia… how you doing?" It was her middle brother, Brent.
"Uh… I… I'm fine." She lied.
"Really you don't-"
Before he could finish, another grabbed his phone.
"Don't talk to us. We know what you did." Gisli growled.
Cadinia's heart dropped and she looked back at her friends as she continued down the pathway.
"Gis!" Brent snatched the phone back.
"Well, it's true! She could've saved dad!" Gisli snapped in the background.
"Shut up and get to class!" Brent snapped back before he turned his attention to the phone call, "Dinia… you know he doesn't mean that…"
"Y… yeah." Her voice was weak at best.
"Dinia… hey… listen… you know I love you, okay? Grandfather does too." Brent assured kindly.
"He doesn't even think I'm alive anymore." Tears were slowly starting to gather on Cadinia's cheeks.
"Hey… hey… Dinia…" Brent's voice became soft and gentle, "Hey, come on… Dinia… relax… okay? Calm down… it wasn't your fault…"
"Of course it is, Brent!" Cadinia whimpered softly, "It always is!"
"Dinia… Dinia… hey… I know you couldn't have saved him… it was his time…" Brent let out, "Please…"
She took in a deep breath and rubbed her eyes before she cleared her throat, "Okay… uh… did you just call for that, then?"
"I wanna make sure you're okay, sis." Brent insisted.
"Well… I… I am." She lied again, "Listen… I… uh… I gotta go. I'll talk to you later."
"Okay." Brent relented, "See you later, sis. Love you."
"Love you too… bye." With that, Cadinia hung up.
And with each step she took after, more and more tears fell from her eyes.
4 hours later…
Cadi sat in the back of the Roadhouse, trying to meditate from what'd been happening the last few days.
Merrick walked out and she smelled spaghetti… which made her stomach turn over in pain.
"Howler? Please don't eat anything in front of me." She moaned softly, "My stomach-"
"I know." He assured.
She opened her eyes and saw him sit beside her, then give her the bowl of food.
"Merrick-"
"Eat." He instructed, pushing the bowl into her hands, "Okay… you blame yourself… but you're not gonna starve yourself to death."
"It's the slow deaths that are the most painful… pain that I deserve." She pushed it away.
"No." He denied, "Cadi…"
"I barely did a thing yesterday." Cadinia let out, "What good am I if I can't do anything? Anything right at least."
"You did good things yesterday."
"As a Ninja, I should've expected that… Mandilock freak to push you in the path of my fire… I should've been strong enough to take on those 'Duke Orgs'… I should've been smart enough to keep my opinions to myself…" She looked down, giving him the bowl, "I don't deserve food."
"You don't deserve to starve."
"It's better than watching my own father die before me…" Cadi whispered, "I failed my family… I let my dad die… and… and… I… I should join him and my mom."
"No!" Merrick snapped, enraged she'd think this, "Cadi, don't you dare think that!"
"Why not? Like you don't think you don't deserve to be with your so-called friends?" She looked over at him, tears dripping down her face, "I could've done something to save my father… but I didn't. You could've been smart and not put on the Wolf mask… we're both living reminders of our failures… at least you can say you concurred yours… I…. I can't… I'm a living failure… I'm a living reminder that it should've been me that died that day… not my mom…"
"Cadi…" Merrick moved in front of her as she started crying, "Cadi… hey… hey…"
He rubbed her face lightly, then pulled her into a hug.
"If she didn't die… we wouldn't have each other."
"Correction… you wouldn't have the Princess." Cadinia shoved him off, "I don't need your pity, Merrick."
He sighed, "Maybe not… but…"
He pulled out her gloves, which looked clean rather than dirty when she last saw them.
"I found them on the ground… figured you'd want them back…"
Cadinia slowly pulled them back on… but felt a sharp pain in her hands now that her fire could no longer be used to help her.
She played it off and forced a smile for Merrick.
Later that night…
Merrick was getting ready for bed when he heard something out in the front.
So, he decided to check it out.
As he slowly made his way through the hall to the edge of the rooms, he could make out a small voice trying to set…. Was that the stage?
Merrick frowned as he slowly rounded the corner.
"My home don't feel the same, last year flew by, goodbye to the good vibes." Cadinia was singing, "What we thought were the best times. Nights out with the people I love! Now I'm lost in the neighborhood, that raised me, praised me, made me who I am! But my father was twice a man! And now that pain's resurfacing!" Her hands gripped around her guitar.
Merrick moved closer, trying to remain hidden.
"This place don't feel the same. Maybe I'm the one who's changed or the one to blame? Another dream down the drain. And ten more before I get on that train. I swear I knew just what to say! It's all there on the tip of my tongue! But I don't feel good enough for anyone! But I won't unfold! I know 'cause I, I, I, I got this feeling! I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride!" Cadinia let out, "I ain't never letting go, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever gonna sell my soul! I, I, I, I got this feeling! I, I, I got this feeling! I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pri… I… ide!"
Merrick blinked as he came around the corner and ducked behind the Pool table.
"Pushed out of the family tree. Upside down, but it was a good life." She smiled lightly, "I fell hard for the dine-in France. I didn't call you back 'cause I was learning to dance! And just who I'd become? It's all there on the tip of my tongue! Wish I was good enough for anyone." Her smile dropped. "No, I wo… o… on't fold I know 'cause I, I, I, I got this feeling!"
Merrick moved a little closer around the table, still watching her play.
"I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride!" Cadinia let out, "I ain't never letting go, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever gonna sell my soul! I, I, I, I got this feeling! I, I, I got this feeling! I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pri, I, ide!"
She took in a soft breath, feeling the next words fit perfectly with her.
"Take or leave. Who I am. 'Cause this is me." She assured before she sighed, "Like a fish out of water. Do I belong here? But I'm never gonna lose, I'm never giving up my pri, I, ide! I'm lost in the ocean. Like a note in a bottle! But I'm never gonna lose, I'm never giving up my pri… ide! This is me, who I am…. hey! Merrick!"
Merrick, who'd been in the process of moving back to behind the Pool Table when she saw him, winced and slowly got up and looked at her.
"Hey, Cadi…" He let out.
She sighed and put her guitar down, "Sorry… I was just… trying to get some emotions off my chest."
"No. It's okay." Merrick assured, "It's an amazing song."
Cadinia looked away, "I guess…."
"Do you really think you don't belong?" Merrick frowned.
Cadinia groaned, "Merrick, please don't start this…"
"I'm just… why would you think you don't belong?"
"For starters; I'm a danger to Willie, The Princess, the Rangers… and most importantly, you." Cadinia let out.
"You're not a danger to me." Merrick countered.
Cadinia scoffed, "Yeah… and… what happened yesterday was proof of that?"
"Cadi… you were trying to help."
"And I failed." Cadinia let out, turning away, "Maybe… maybe I'm not… really…"
"Not really what?" Merrick frowned, turning her to face him, "Cadi…"
"Cut out to be a ranger." She finished softly, "I mean… what good am I if I can't even tell the others the truth about my powers? Or I can barely protect others… or I can't even morph?!"
"Cadi." Merrick made her look at his eyes, "You have remarkable gifts… your powers don't define you… you define yourself."
"I know you're trying to help, Merrick… but I can't think like that." Cadinia countered.
"Why not?"
"Because I… I don't know… I just… can't." She sighed, "I'm really sorry… but I just… can't…"
Merrick pulled her into a hug, rubbing her back softly. "Don't be sorry… please don't be sorry…"
Cadinia sighed again and pulled away, "Merrick… I just… with everything that's been happening lately… I can't help it… especially with what happened today."
Merrick groaned and looked away, "Not this again."
Cadinia narrowed her eyes on him, "Heck yeah this again! Merrick, if you haven't noticed, I blame myself for a lot of things… and this is truly no different!"
"For it to be your fault, all of us would have to agree."
"I'm 99% sure the others are gonna be in the 'Blame Cadinia' club." She grumbled.
"But not me, or Willie… or your brothers."
She snorted, "You don't know my brothers…"
"But I know you… and so does Willie… and I'm sure-"
"Merrick just… stop!" She sighed, "Please… I don't need your words, alright?"
"I'm not just saying it." He insisted.
Cadinia took in a deep breath, "Look… I've had a really rough day and I just… can you leave me alone for a little while longer? Please?"
"No." Merrick denied, "Cadi, please… you need to understand that… at least I don't blame you… that should be enough… right?"
She bit her lip, "I don't know…"
Merrick put a hand to her shoulder, "Please… Cadi… if you're not happy in… two weeks, you can leave… and I won't stop you. I promise."
She raised a brow before she nodded, "Alright… I'll hold you to that."
Merrick gave her a light smile before he hugged her.
Cadinia bit back a sigh as she hugged him back, "I hope you know what you're doing, Merrick…"
She looked at her gloved hands, feeling the flames burn underneath… wanting to be released with her pain.
So Cadinia's gonna let this slide... till the 'big reveal'... well... she thinks she will.
The Flute is next... and I gotta say... it's a doozy.
Please review, Favorite and Follow.
See ya next week.
