Chapter 8: The Heart of a Wolf

Chloe was shocked, to say the least when Sabrina showed up as Louve Grise on her balcony and asked her if she wanted to go for a walk, after giving her the biggest hug she had ever given her. After the way she had treated her, she was sure that Sabrina would not even want to speak to her, let alone be in the same room. So, it was a surprise when that happened. Chloe was happy to see her, but she knew that night was still young, and that they both were in for a long and serious talk. Transforming into Queen Bee, the blonde told the wolf heroine to lead the way, and she would follow her.

Usually, when the two of them went on patrol, it was the bee heroine that led the way and decided where they would go. But on that night, it was the wolf heroine who was leading the way. Queen Bee had no idea where they were going, but wherever it was, she would not complain about it. As they made their way towards the Eastern part of the city, the blonde wanted to say something to her friend, but could not find the right words. She knew that even if she had smiled at her in her bedroom, that she was still hurt and angry at her.

"I wish I knew what to tell you right now, Sabrina." -Queen Bee thought to herself.

But she was not the only one having that problem. Louve Grise also did not know what to tell her friend. When she left her place, she was hoping that by the time she had arrived at the hotel, that she would know what she was going to say. But when she got there, the only words she could pronounce was the phrase "Would you like to go for a walk?". Now, as she led the two of them through the rooftops of Paris, she was hoping that the right words would come out. She never liked long silences. It reminded her of when she was a child, and her parents had an argument, and ended up not talking to one another for a few hours. They never had an argument that would leave them without talking to one another for more than four or five hours, but the whole idea behind the long silence between them, was something the wolf heroine hated, and did not like when it happened.

After nearly twenty minutes of running on top of the rooftops, and of what had felt to both of them, like the longest period of silence ever, Louve Grise signalled Queen Bee to stop, as they approached Place de la Nation. Stopping, Louve sat on the building's rooftop ledge, and told Queen Bee to sat next to her, which she did. The two of them was hoping the other would engage in conversation, but that did not happen, and so, the silence between them went on for a little longer. Sighing, the bee heroine decided to be the one to break the ice.

"It's a lovely view." -Queen Bee told Louve Grise, that being the first thing that came to her mind.

"It is." -Louve Grise agreed. –"I usually come here, whenever I'm feeling sad or down." -she declared. –"I don't know why, but seeing cars driving around the roundabout, it always cheers me up."

Queen Bee understood what Louve was telling her. When she herself was feeling down, she also liked to go up to the Grand Paris' rooftop and just look at the Seine, because it brought her a sense of peace and happiness.

"Did you arrive home safely?" -Queen Bee asked her. –"Stupid! Why did you ask her something like that?!" -she thought to herself, while cursing herself. –"Did you manage to go up with all those things we bought, or did you asked the taxi driver to help you with them?"

The heroine once again cursed herself for asking Louve that kind of questions. Her nerves were beginning to get the best of her, and she knew it. She wanted to ask her how she was feeling and how could she make her feel better, but her nerves were making her mince words.

"Actually, I threw them into the trash." -Louve Grise said bluntly. –"But I went to get them back later, after I had a conversation with Mika." -she told her.

(Flashback)

Entering her bedroom, Sabrina threw her backpack onto the bed, while closing the bedroom door with all her might, making everything inside shake, for a split second. She was furious. No, she was worse than furious. She was mighty pissed. She had been insulted and mistreated by her best-friend, which made her run from Le Grand Paris hotel in tears. She cried through most of the trip home.

The taxi driver asked her if she was alright, and she told him that she was okay, while also providing him her address. When they arrived, with her eyes still filled with tears, she grabbed all the boxes and all the bags she had brought with her and exited the car. Right then, she just wanted to get out of the street, so she could be alone. But before entering her building, she walked towards the trash bin, and she dumped all that she was carrying in her arms inside, with the last bag being thrown into it, as if it was radioactive. Feeling like she had been betrayed by her best-friend, Sabrina did not want any of the things she had bought for her.

Already on her bedroom, and knowing that she would be home alone, until nearly 11 in the night, Sabrina wasted no time in yelling and screaming about what happened. She had been taught that screaming and yelling was the best way to deal with frustration, and right then, on top of being sad, angry and furious, she was also frustrated. She had never felt that frustrated and angry before.

"How could she do it, Mika?! How could she?!" -Sabrina yelled into the air, as the wolf kwami exited from the backpack, where he had been hiding. –"After all we've been through, she said that I was nobody! How could she do that?!" -she continued to ask herself, angry. –"She told me that she would always be there for me, a couple of hours ago, and now… now she called me a nobody, treats me badly, and even dared to tell me that I was never more than a pet to her!"

Grabbing a pillow, which was the first thing she saw, she threw it against her bedroom door. After it, she yelled from the top of her lungs in frustration, as she played the whole lobby scene in her mind.

"Mika… is it wrong for me to want to break every bone in Chloe's body?" -Sabrina asked Mika, as she sat on her bed.

"Would that make you feel better?" -Mika asked her, while raising an eyebrow.

"I-I don't know… I want to believe that it would, even if in the end it wouldn't!" -Sabrina told him, as she slammed her fist into her mattress. –"How could she do that, Mika, tell me?!" -she asked the wolf kwami, before starting to cry.

Sabrina thought that had cried all there was to cry, as her sadness was replaced by anger, which filled her heart. But that anger quickly turned into sadness, and she saw herself crying once again. As the tears ran down her face, as she took her glasses, placing them next to her, she could not help but to think that it was a good thing her miraculous did not allow hawk Moth or any of his minions to sense her true feelings. If that was not the case, she knew that right then, she would be the perfect candidate for an akumatization.

The sound of cries filled her bedroom. If her mother, or her father happened to be home, they would have come see if she was alright, and would ask her what had happened, for her to be acting like that. Luckily, neither was home, and that was fine with Sabrina. She did not feel like talking about what had happened with anyone, not even Mika, who was there with her, when it happened, and who Sabrina knew could always count on, unliked what happened with Chloe. She believed that no matter what, Chloe would always have her back, but was proven wrong.

"I hate to ask you this, but do you blame her for what happened?" -Mika asked her, trying to do some conversation, in order to calm her down. –"I'd never seen you like this, kiddo." -he thought to himself.

"I don't know… I mean, I should blame her, and part of me wants to blame her for all that happened! She was mean and evil, and… and she was awful. She hurt my feelings, Mika!" -Sabrina shouted into the air, as tears ran down her face. –"If she was right here, I swear I would punch her right in the face… and I wouldn't be sorry about it!"

The way she was talking about it, it was clear to Mika that Chloe had made more than just a single dent into Sabrina's feelings. But he also knew that all that talk was her anger speaking. Sabrina was not the kind to harbour any feelings of vengeance. He needed to calm her down, for her own good and Chloe's as well. Fortunately, he knew how to act during that kind of circumstances.

"Kiddo… I'm going to be honest. What she did was pretty bad. I mean, I'd seen her acting all diva before, but never anything like this." -Mika told Sabrina, as he sat on her lap. –"But you're the one who knows her better than anyone else. She is… or was your best-friend, I don't know anymore…" -he said. –"But if there's anyone who can tell if she deserves to be forgiven or not, that's you."

When Sabrina heard the wolf kwami talking that, she was caught by surprise. She did not expect him to tell her that. Even with her mind clouded by rage and anger, she always expected him to try and put some sense into her, arguing that she could not let her feelings get the best of her.

"But aren't you going to tell me that I need to forgive her for the good of our duty as defenders of this city and the world, and of our fight against Hawk Moth?" -Sabrina asked him. –"Aren't you going to convince me that I need to be on good terms with her, so everything goes smoothly?" -she asked him, wondering why he did not said that.

"I don't need to do it, because you're a smart girl, Sabrina. Even without me telling you, you already thought about it." -Mika declared. –"Of course, that's one of the things that you must have in account… but you must also have in account your own feelings. If you can't find it in you the strength to forgive her, then there's no use trying to convince you to do it." -he said. –"Also, you still have a little bit of rage inside you, from everything that happened, and you need to get it out of your system. So, I'm going to make you calm yourself down, by asking you questions that you already know the answer to, but need to be reminded about."

Mika knew that if he wanted Sabrina to patch things up with Chloe, he needed to make Sabrina calm down, and let all the rage, anger and sadness that were still boiling inside her, go away. Ever since the first day they met, he had heard the redhead tell him all sorts of things about Chloe; how the two had become friends; what were the things they had in common; the kind of relationship Chloe and her mother had, and he knew that once she calmed herself down, she would see things more clearly. He just needed to be patient, because he knew Sabrina was not the kind of person to hold a grudge to anyone, even when someone mistreated her. Some people would say that what he was doing, was playing mind tricks on her, but that was not the case. He was merely making her see things as they truly were.

"Like I said before, the question that you must ask yourself is, while having your own feelings and everything else that you talked about in account, can you forgive Chloe and just let what happened become water under the bridge, or can't you?" -Mika asked her. –"Because I'll be honest. You told me that Chloe was once anything but nice towards everybody and that seemed like the old Chloe." -he told her.

"And she was." -Sabrina said. –"She was awful. She did all kinds of bad things, just because things did not go her way. She even forced me sometimes to go along with it, and to help her." -she admitted, while remembering some of the things Chloe convinced her to do.

"Then, are you sure you even want to think about forgiving her? Because, as I see it, the odds of her doing what she did to you again, are quite big, given what we saw." -Mika stated. –"Come on, Sabrina, stop me from saying these things. I know that you don't truly blame her for what happened, but you need to remember that." -he thought to himself. –"If I were you, I wouldn't think about forgiving her. I mean, there are fourteen of you in the team. You don't really need to talk to her again. You can just try and ignore her…"

"But… But all the things she did, it was because she had the wrong people, influencing her. Or in this case, just one… her mother." -Sabrina said. –"That Audrey Bourgeois, she's the one that made all this happen! That woman… she must have ice or venom in her veins, and she managed to poison Chloe's heart right then… just like she did for years!" -she exclaimed.

Mika was seeing that little by little, Sabrina was beginning to show less signs of being angry or mad at Chloe, and that was a good thing. Still, he knew that he had to do better than that. He had to force Sabrina to remember the reasons why she was friends with Chloe. He had to make sure that by the time he had finished, any trace of anger in her heart were gone.

"Yeah, she was pretty bad. I mean, I heard her… still, that doesn't seem to be reason enough to say that Chloe is innocent here. It's like you said before, she made you help her with things that you didn't like to do…" -Mika said, when Sabrina interrupted him.

"That was not the Chloe we both know, Mika." -Sabrina told him. –"That was Chloe under her mom's influence." -she told her kwami with an assertive voice. –"If you're going to ask me, how I know that, the answer is simple… I just know it."

Hearing her say that, the wolf kwami felt impelled to ask Sabrina, why she thought that, to force her to answer him. But he decided not to, feeling that his plan to make her see through all the anger and sadness, did not need him to ask her that. He believed that all the bad feelings she had inside her, were now weaker, even if they still existed, and she would be able to see things clearly, in a matter of seconds.

"It's hard to explain, but it's one of those things that you just know it in your gut." -Sabrina said. –"This is the first time that you saw or heard Chloe's mom, so you don't even know the kind of woman she is, aside from what I told you about her. I'm not saying she's worse than Hawk Moth, but she's no Mother Theresa. She's someone who doesn't care about anyone but herself… and Chloe suffered because of that, during years." -she declared. –"That woman, she must have ice or venom in her veins, and she managed to poison Chloe's heart right then, the only way she can… by giving her the only thing she ever wanted from her, attention."

And when she said that, Mika could not help but to smile, and think that he had managed to accomplish his mission. He had managed to calm Sabrina enough, and with a calmer mind, she was beginning to reasoning, like she always did.

"All I know, Mika, is that what happened in the hotel, isn't all Chloe's fault. Audrey Bourgeois is to blame for most of it, because I know deep down, that our Chloe wouldn't do what she did, if her mother had not paid attention to her, and by doing it so, her old persona came back." -Sabrina sighed.

"Does that mean you're going to forgive her?" -Mika asked her.

Sabrina hesitated for a second. She did not feel angry or mad anymore. But she still felt quite hurt. She never thought that Chloe could ever be that mean to her. In the past, she had seen Chloe treating others that way, but she had never treated her that way.

"She hurt me a lot, there's no two ways about it. I'm sure she did it, because something inside her compelled her to do it, just so her mother would show her some love or attention. I can't fully blame her for it. But even so, it still hurt when she told me those things." -Sabrina told him. –"But I know one thing. I know that I need to talk to her and have a serious conversation with her. If I don't do it, I won't be able to sleep tonight, Mika. I need to see it in her eyes… I need to see that she's sorry she told me all those things. Call me selfish, right now, but I need to look into my best friend's eyes and see that she's just as torn about this as I am. Not because I want to see her suffering, but because right now I need to see the real Chloe, and not the nasty version of herself, that she created in her mother's image." -she sighed.

"I get it. You need to have a heart-to-heart talk with your best-friend. A couple of centuries ago, something similar happened between one of my holders and one of Plagg's holders, and they both needed to have a serious conversation to patch things up." -Mika told her.

"And did they?" –Sabrina asked him, curious, as she once more wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Eventually, yes. But it wasn't easy. Mostly because they were both too proud to apologize to one another." -Mika answered her. –"Of course, your problem with Chloe is different, but you get what I'm saying." -he said. –"If you need to go and talk to her, I'll be more than willing to lend you my powers, like always. But before you go, you need to eat something, and you'll have to go and get the things she bought you from the trash. I mean, I didn't say anything, because you were upset and you needed to pour your anger into something, so you threw them all into the trash bin. But now that you're calmer, there's no reason for you not to go and get them. I mean, come on, they were all really expensive and you looked nice in them."

When he told her that, Sabrina giggled and remembered why she loved Mika so much. He always knew what to tell her, when she was feeling low.

"Alright, I'll go get them, and after dinner, we're going to the hotel, to talk to Chloe." -Sabrina told him.

(End of flashback)

"Mika managed to calm me down." -Louve Grise admitted. –"When it comes to being my conscience, when I lose my head, he's way better than Jiminy Cricket." -she told her.

"You threw everything that I bought you into the trash?!" -Queen Bee asked her, trying to make conversation. –"I'm sorry, I'm not being trivial, or trying to judge you or anything. After what I did to you, you were in your right to do it, but… I'm just trying to make conversation… sorry, I'm not very good with these situations." -she said, clearly showing that she was nervous.

"No, it's okay to ask. Yes, like I said before, I threw them into the trash, in a fit of rage, and then I went back to get them. Mika was right about it. I did it, because I was mad at you, and I needed to place my rage and hatred on something, but once I calm down, I realized that just because I was mad at you, that didn't mean I should throw all those things into the trash." -Louve Grise told her.

In Queen Bee's mind, she imagined her best-friend throwing all the things they had bought for her that afternoon into a trash can, and could not help but to feel like in doing so, she demonstrated just how angry she was at her. Yet, she could not blame her for being angry at her. What she had done to her was

"I can't even imagine what my words did to you." -Queen Bee told her. –"You must have hated me for it." -she told her.

"Oh, you can bet I hated you back then. When I left the hotel in tears, at first, I felt like the world was ending and that you had been lying to me ever since last summer." -Louve Grise confessed to her. –"I cried the whole way home. By then, the sadness was already less, but the rage… that one kept growing in my chest, with me asking myself how could you have told me all those nasty things, and hurting me that way. You did quite the number on both my mind and my heart, Chloe." -she said.

It was not easy for Chloe to hear Sabrina telling her that, but she endured it, because she knew it had to be true. If she herself was feeling the way she was for insulting her and treating her like dirt, then Sabrina should be feeling ten times worse than she was. And upon hearing her, there was only one question that the blonde wanted to ask her friend.

"So, you're still angry at me?" -Queen Bee asked her, already knowing the answer.

"I would be lying if I said that I wasn't. You really hurt me with those horrible comments." -Louve Grise told her. –"I don't think I've ever cried so much in my life, Chloe." -she said. –"After all we've went through, hearing you say all those comments, it was like being slapped on the face, and then shot at point-blank in the chest… It was like I didn't even knew you."

"I know, and I apologize, Sabrina. Believe me when I say that I hate myself for what I told you, and how I must have made you feel. If I could back in time, I would have done things differently." -Queen Bee told her, being sincere about it. –"I didn't want to, believe me. I tried to stop, but once I began…"

"You couldn't stop, could you?" -Louve looked her in the eyes, with a neutral voice. The voice of someone who was neither angry, nor sad, nor happy. –"I suppose I understand. Your mom was paying attention to you, which is something so rare, that…" -she said.

"That I reverted back to my old nasty self and insulted you, just so she would be proud of me, for behaving like her?" -Queen Bee finished her sentence with a sarcastic voice, while tears rolled down her face. –"It's still not an excuse for what I did… but it's the truth." -she sniffed.

Louve listened in silence, as her best-friend talked, noticing just how hesitant she seemed. She could tell that the hesitation was due to her taking her time to choose the right words, which meant that she did not want to hurt her again. It was clear to her that the blonde was doing a serious effort to demonstrate just how sorry she was.

"Tell me the truth. Just how mad, or angry or hurt you still are with me?" -Queen Bee asked the wolf heroine. –"And please, don't sugar-coat it. I want you to be really honest about it, Sabrina." -she begged her, knowing that what she might hear next, would probably not be what she wanted to. But still, she needed to know. She needed to know just how much she had hurt her friend and just what was needed for her to gain her forgiveness.

"Chloe… I'll be absolutely honest. You hurt me a lot. I felt like the girl who was telling me all those things, wasn't someone I knew. I felt like… I don't even know how to put it into words." -Louve Grise declared. –"But I know that one of the things I've felt, was betrayed." -she sighed, clearly upset. "Betrayed by the one friend I believed would always have my back, no matter what. And when you said that I was nobody, that hurt like hell. It made me feel that all the things you told me this afternoon, when we went shopping, had been a huge lie."

The blonde already expected an answer like that. Usually, she would try to come up with a justification for why she did it, but not on that night. Whatever her best-friend wanted to tell her, she would take it, without as much as saying if any of the things she said were right or wrong.

"In sum, you really hurt me, Chloe. You hurt me like you've never had before… But after calming myself, and thinking about it, I realized what happened, was not just your fault. Your mom is to blame for it as well. Like I said, it took me a bit to realize that. It was only when most of my anger and rage towards you subsided, that I remembered that your mom is an awful person, and whether we like it or not, she still manages to have some power over you." -Louve Grise said.

She was right about it. Even without wanting to, Audrey Bourgeois still managed to have influence over her daughter.

"Also, our friendship has been through hard times before, and I want to believe that it is strong enough to survive what happened this afternoon. And I can see it in your eyes that you're sorry for what happened." -Louve Grise said, with a mild smile on her face, as she caressed the blonde's left cheek. –"It's going to take me a couple of days to put it all behind my back, and for my heart to fully forgive you. But when it does, I want to believe that our friendship will be even stronger than before." -she smiled at her, with the smile being broader than before. –"My grandmother on my mom's side of the family, usually says that the best friendships are the most unexpected, and the ones that know you're a good egg, even when you're cracked."

The last sentence made the bee heroine smile, but just for a split second. It did not matter if Sabrina was willing to put it all behind her back. To Chloe, what she had done to her was unforgivable, and right then, she did not believe she was worthy of any sort of compassion, forgiveness or friendship from Sabrina.

"I don't deserve it… your friendship." -Queen Bee told her, trying to withhold her tears. –"After what I did to you, I don't believe I'm worthy of it, or anyone else's, Sabrina." -she declared, as she was unable to hold back on her tears, and these began to roll down her face. –"What I did to you was what a heartless monster would do, and I am both of those things… I'll be absolutely honest. If deep down, you don't want to forgive me, I'll understand."

The words that came out of her mouth, showed how much she believed she was not worthy of any kind of forgiveness or compassion from her best friend. But most importantly, her eyes reflected the guilt that was in her heart. Inside her, there was a little spark that wanted to believe that she was worthy of forgiveness, but at the same time, her soul believed she was not worthy of it. And seeing her that way, the wolf heroine was given another proof that her friend was worthy of not only her friendship, but also her forgiveness.

"You're no such thing. You're not a monster and you're not heartless, Chloe." -Louve smiled at her, as a tear ran down her face. –"I know you well enough, to know that you're many things. You're stubborn, you're proud, you're a bit of a diva and a drama queen sometimes, but you're neither a monster nor a heartless person. On top of it, if I hadn't seen you crying the moment that you saw me standing in your balcony, and looked into your eyes, to see the sadness and the guilt that were in them, I wouldn't be here, right now, willing to forgive you." -she said, as she placed her arm around the blonde's shoulders.

"But I've hurt you…" -Queen Bee told her, almost in a whisper. –"Even if we blame my mom for part of what happened, it was me who said those things to you, and not her. I am to blame for it." -she said, as a couple of tears rolled down her face.

"And I'm willing to forget about it, because I know that your mom is to blame here." -Louve Grise declared. –"Like I said before, our friendship has gone through hard times, but we always found ways to reconcile… I admit that over the years, I did most of the effort for our friendship to continue strong, especially when you were the way you were. But you also fought to keep it that way, especially since last summer. Besides, we're besties. Through thick and thin, we have to be there for one another. On top of that, we've saved each other's lives more times than I can remember right now. You're always there for me, and I'm always there for you." -she smiled, warming the blonde's heart. –"Now, give me a hug so it takes even less time for my heart to fully forgive you."

It was incredible. That was the thought what went through the bee heroine's mind, as she hugged Louve. It was incredible just how she was able to put aside all the bad feelings and emotions that resulted from that incident, and managed to find in herself not only the will, but the kindness to forgive her for what she had done to her. And for the first time in hours, Queen Bee felt her heart being filled with something that was not sadness, nor anger, nor shame, but love. The love that the two friends nurtured for one another.

"Feeling better?" -Louve asked her with a tender voice.

"A little." -Queen Bee told her, still finding it a little bit hard that her best-friend had told her that she was going to forgive her. –"There's not a shred of hate in you, Sabrina. I wish I could be that way, like you." -she thought to herself, as they broke the embrace,

"Now, you have to promise me one thing, and it's something we already talked about." -Louve told her. –"You have to promise me, that tomorrow, you are really going to tell everyone else, why you were feeling so down today." -she said.

"Do I have to tell them about what happened between us as well?" -Queen Bee asked her.

"Absolutely. Not because I want you to feel bad about it, or anything like that. But because I feel that they deserve to know the whole story. Remember, we're all a team, and we're friends. There shouldn't be secrets amongst friends." -Louve declared. –"And don't be afraid to tell them everything. I know for a fact that they won't judge you or think any less of you, if you tell them the whole story, while speaking from your heart." -she said, as she placed her right hand over the blonde's chest. –"And don't tell me you don't have a heart, because I can feel it beating. It's a beautiful heart that's been hurt a lot, but that is incredibly strong and full of compassion and love. Compassion and love that have given you the strength to change, to protect those who mean so much to you, and to admit your own mistakes, which are all admirable things. Don't ever forget that, not matter what, Chloe."

With her eyes filled with tears, from hearing all those beautiful words, Queen Bee leaned forward and kissed Louve Grise on the lips. The kiss lasted for about two seconds, after which, both girls were shocked with what happened, and wondered why the bee heroine had done that.

"I-I'm sorry…" -Queen Bee apologized herself to Louve Grise. –"It's just that…I think it's the nerves. I'm sorry, Sabrina." -she apologized again to the redhead. –"Why did I do that? Why did I kiss Sabrina?"

"I-It's okay." -Louve Grise told her. –"Whoa… I wasn't expecting that." -she thought to herself, still surprised by that kiss. –"A-Anyways, don't forget what I just told you. I meant every last word."

"It's a little hard to believe what you just said about me, after what happened this afternoon." -Queen Bee said, as she wiped her tears. –"But okay, I'll do it. I promise I'll tell them everything. But only if you also promise me one thing." -she told her.

"Name it." -Louve declared.

"I want you to promise me, that if I ever act like that again, that you'll slap me in the face and call me back to reality." -Queen Bee told her. –"Please, Sabrina, promise me that." -she begged her. –"I don't want to end up like my mom, and I'm afraid that if I have to spend more time with her, I'll go back to being the way I was, and I don't want that. Please, promise me, that if you're near me, and I start acting like it again, you'll do it. No questions asked."

"Don't worry, I promise." -Louve Grise told her. –"But there won't be a need for me to do it, because I know that after what happened today, your heart is not going to let you do that again." -she smiled.

"You… You're incredible, you know that? Have I ever told you that you're absolutely incredible?" -Queen Bee asked her. –"Even after all this, you are willing to forgive me and forget everything. You have the kindest heart anyone has ever had, Sabrina." -she declared, as another tear rolled down her face.

"Hey, what's friends are for… and let me tell you this. You remember that it was going to take me a couple of days to put all of this behind and to fully forgive you, right?" -Louve Grise asked her, to which she nodded. –"Well, I changed my mind. I'm fully forgiving you, right now. I just can't stay mad or angry at you. Not when I know that you are trying so hard to be better than you were, and especially better than your mom is, Chloe." -she smiled, before placing her arms around the blonde and hugging her.

"I really don't deserve a friend like you, Sabrina." -Queen Bee thought, as she hugged her back and a tearful smile showed up on her face.

So, this chapter continues what happened on the previous one. As I wrote it, I did not know if I was going to write Sabrina forgiving Chloe that easily, but as I approached the end of the chapter I figured that Chloe had suffered enough, and that Sabrina has one of those hearts that allow her to forgive anyone, after a few hours. If not, how would she and Chloe still be friends? xD It also allowed me to give Mika the spotlight for a little bit. I love to write all of the kwamis, but Mika is special, because he's like my version of Kero-chan from Cardcaptor Sakura, who happens to be my favourite character in that anime/manga.

Still, now that this out of the way, we'll see what happens. On the following chapter, let's see how our heroes handle some news that might not be to their liking.

Anyways, as always, feel free to comment, fav and leave your suggestions to improve this fic, and future ones.
