Part One

"Don't look at me like that!"
"What? I wasn't..."
"Yes you were. You were looking at me with pity. Just because you're he's flavour of the month doesn't mean we'll have to put up with you forever. Once he gets bored we'll be able to throw you away like the peice of litter you are."
"That's not true." Carmine looked away as her voice grew weak.
"See? You know it's true. Why don't you just leave while you have atleast an inch of your dignity left?"

"Fool," Astra muttered as she turned her back and left the room, her long cape-like jacket trailing behind her.
