A/N: Hellos! I'm finally back with another chapter. Yes, it's taken me a
while to get this out. But I now have to compete for the computer, so it
took longer than I thought. Anywho, just wanted to make sure everyone
doesn't get confused. Marg in caps is the one who we obviously know isn't
the "right" Marguerite. What exactly is her deal, is still yet to be
confirmed. lol :) but yes. Please review. I'd love to hear what you
think. I write slow.. and I apologize for that. I hope to get the next
chapter up asap.
Sorries.. I'm kinda giddy… since there's a possibility that a friend can tape an episode of TLW (season 3) so I might actually get to watch "The Elixer"…. lol.. I'm so pathetic… ;) I've never seen any of them…. Stupid NewVR…. :( ahem
A great big THANK YOU! to those who've reviewed. I really really appreciate it. You can't imagine how happy it makes me. You guys inspire me… and of course… it's your writing that got me to start in the first place… so yah… a lot of you should be hurrying with putting new chapters out!!! Yah.. that means YOU! :) Again, une mille fois merci! :)

Roxton looked at MARGUERITE in horror and then back again to his bitten hand.
"I told you you'd be sorry." She smirked. The elevator came to a halt and Roxton stepped forward. A hand stopped him from moving. "I demand that you return me to the castle at once!"
Blinking in confusion, Roxton ignored her and pushed pass her. "Where are you going? I told you, return me at once! Don't you dare ignore me! I'm talking to you! Hey…" Roxton removed his hat and boots and headed straight for a LARGE glass of brandy. He sat down and took a swig of the alcohol, hoping it would take away the throbbing pain in his head, feet and now his hand. But MARGUERITE wasn't going to allow him any peace until she got her way. She stepped off the elevator and stalked up to Roxton. "Now look here, I'm not going to stop until you listen to me. If you think that by sitting there gorging on alcohol is going to shut me up… well, you've got another thing coming to you if you…"
"For heaven's sake, Marguerite!" Roxton rolled his eyes. He loved this woman, but she was getting on his nerves.
"Don't talk to me in that tone of voice!" She yelled.
It was then, Malone emerged. "Will you two please squabble elsewhere? Some of us ARE trying to get some rest."
"Don't blame me, Malone. Blame loud mouth over there." Roxton said bluntly as his head nodded in the direction of MARGUERITE.
"LOUD MOUTH?!" She shrieked.
"See. Told you." The hunter smirked.
Malone chuckled. *Yup, definitely a lover's spat.* "Alright, I'll leave you two to bicker amongst yourself like an old married couple. Just try to keep it down for the rest of our sake. Unlike you two, we need our sleep. Challenger is planning for a long hike to a cave to retrieve some samples."
MARGUERITE slowly walked to Malone, swaying her hips seductively. When she was almost standing right in front of him she "accidentally" tripped. Malone's arms shot out to catch her but MARGUERITE thrust her arms forward and pushed Malone. They both tumbled to the ground with a loud thud. Malone looked up in surprise. They were both sprawled on the ground with MARGUERITE lying right on top of him. He started to push himself up but MARGUERITE had no intention of getting up so soon. "Oh how clumsy of me." She said sweetly.
"Uh, Marguerite, I'd like to get up now. Can you please get off of me?" The shy reported felt a sudden wave of heat spread over his face.
"Of course Edward. A strong, handsome man like yourself needs his rest." She stroked the side of his face and slowly moved off of him. Malone still feeling a little flush from MARGUERITE'S strange behaviour, stood up and looked at MARGUERITE questioningly.
Roxton, who had witnessed the entire exchange suddenly spit out the brandy he was enjoying. The liquid sprayed all over and he started to cough uncontrollably. Malone wanted nothing more than to retreat to his room. But before he was able to turn around and escape, MARGUERITE snaked her hand behind his head and whispered loud enough for Roxton to hear, "Edward? I just wanted to thank you for trying to save this damsel in distress. My knight in shining armour." And she placed a kiss on his lips.
Roxton was fuming. If it was possible, one would be able to see the steam rising from his head. He got out of his seat and stormed towards Malone and MARGUERITE. As he opened his mouth he was suddenly cut off.
"WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON???" They all turned to see Veronica standing with her arms firmly placed on her hips and her eyes shooting daggers towards the lip-locked couple.

hmm… I'm still kinda confused with myself as to why I ended this chapter like that… but no matter what.. I can't think of any excuse. ;) ah well… the weather is totally insane… I mean… yesterday there was SNOW!!! For goodness sake! It was snowing! And even now… my fingers are frozen as I'm typing… what's up with this country?! yah yah… I know I should be used to it… I mean.. living in my igloo and all… ;)
…I still can't believe that someone really thought Canadians lived in igloos and had sled dogs and that our parliament was made out of ice… *shakes head* okey… enuff ranting for me… I'm done now..
