Sorry to leave you all hanging. I've been working on my websites. And it has not been an easy task.
So she escaped
Of course no one was going to spoil Dilandau's wedding without him putting up a fight. With the gesture of his hand, about twenty different soldiers had Gwenivere surrounded, with their swords arranged so that the slightest move would be the end of her. She laughed. "Do you think that is any defense against me?!" she asked mockingly, "Really how quant." "I don't get it," asked Gwendoline, how did you...how could you be alive. You never made it out of the house."
"Actually Gwendoline,"said Gwenivere, the smile leaving her face. "I did make it out. But not without a little help..."
******(Flash back after all, an explanation is needed.)
Gwenivere was trapped, burning alive, she had no escape. "Mama, Papa, help me!" she screamed, but her cries were swallowed by the roaring flames. Her face was already beginning to burn when suddenly, arms wrapped themselves around her and pulled her out of a window. That was the last that Gwenivere remembered before being swept into unconsciousness.
When she awoke, she was laid on bed. Everything hurt badly, especially her face. She doubted she would be able to go bsck to sleep. "Are you awake little one?" Asked a voice. Gwenivere turned feebly to the sound of the voice. "Who are you?" Gwenivere squeaked. "I'm your savior. I pulled you out of that burning house." Gwenivere looked around in confusion. The room was dim and she could barely focus on anything. "I want my mommy, where is my mommy?" Gwenivere began to ask, panic rising inside of her. "She isn't here," the man replied honestly, "but you need not worry about that now, you see, I did save your life, so now you owe it to me."
Gwenivere tried to understand what the man was saying, but in her painful state she couldn't comprehend what he wanted. "Listen to me," he continued, "I need someone, someone to train, someone to pass my powers to. I've been watching you for sometime, which was why I was able to come to your rescue." The man paused and pulled out something, a necklace. "Here," he said, "this will make you feel better." Gwenivere pushed it away, "I want my mommy!" she said forcefully. The man stood up, sighing, "And what makes you think your mommy would want you?" Gwenivere eyed the man suspiciously as he turned something to face her, a mirror. "Look, see what that fire has done to you."
Gwenivere looked, and found that she couldn't look away. The fire had ruined her face, red scars and swelling had completely mutated one side of it. She would never be the same. Gwenivere began to cry. Her family would never want her back now. "It doesn't have to be that way," said the man, "This necklace has many powers, put it on, and it will heal you." Gwenivere slowly reached for the necklace as the stranger gently put it around her neck. Gwenivere noted a single blue stone which began to glow slightly. Her face grew warm, and Gwenivere turned to the mirror to see what was happening.
Her face normal again, and the pain had left her body. Gwenivere sat up, looking to see if everything was back to the way that it once was. "This gift is not free," the man said, "I do require that you stay with me, ootherwise, the necklace will come off, and you will return to the way you were before, a freak, a monster." Gwenivere shuddered at the thought. "Will....Will I ever see my mommy again?" The man smiled, "When I have taught you all you need to know, I will have gone from this place, and you'll be free to do whatever. But never take off the necklace, if you truly want your face to look normal again." Gwenivere nodded obediently.
"What is you name?" Gwenivere asked. "You may call me Yugata," said the man, "but for now, go to sleep." Gwenivere laid back down, but not before promising to someday return to her family....
******Flash forward
"I did learn and learn well," Gwenivere said, "but when I returned I found that had been completely replaced, by you, the very person who is responsible for what happened to me. So naturally this would not do." Gwenivere made a gesture to the large hooded figure. Joy gasped and stood. "What have you done to mother Gwenivere?!" she demanded. The blades of the soldiers seemed to have gotten closer. "Why I have improved her. She serves me now. Want a demonstration. Oh mother!" At the call of her name, the beast forsake her cloak and revealed her ferocious form. Nadine was a beast, three times larger than she once was, her body completely covered in fur, and as the guards soon found out, she had grown much stronger as well.
She effortlessly tossed the guards into the air, clearing them from around her daughter. "Very good mother." Gwenivere said patting her on the head, "Now, you have one more task." Gwenivere pointed to Gwendoline, "Destroy Gwendoline!" The beast roared and turned it's attention to a terrified Gwendoline. "Wow," said Dilandau, "and I thought your mother couldn't get any worse." Angoline had grabbed a chair and hit the beastwoman Nadine from behind. It was enough to stagger Nadine but nothing more. Gwendoline ran over to where the food was being served. Dilandau, who had been tossed his sword slid up to her, "What *are* you doing. " Gwendoline grabbed a bottle of wine. There a lighted candle to be used on one of the meals at the end of the table, "You might want to move," said Gwenivere grabbing the candle.
She whirled, and took a gulp of the wine. Just as the beastwoman was upon her, Nadine blew upon the candle, sending a spray of fire into Nadine's face. The beastwoman was now blind and Gwendoline was able to make her get away.
"Follow her you idiot!" Gwenivere yelled, "Destroy her!" A chair across the head stopped Gwenivere's mad ravings. Joy had managed to sneak up inorder to attack her sister, but Fylanais had begun to move as well. He grabbed joy and spread his huge wings, hoisting her into the air. "Help!" she screamed, "Put me down!" "Of course," he said, and promptly released Joy. She screamed all the way down, crashing through the table of food, sending the large wedding cake sky high. The beast woman Nadine was just recovering and slowly regaining her sight when she was hit by the flying cake. Chunks that had fallen onto the ground caused Nadine to slip, and her large clumsy form fell to the ground.
Gwenivere had been recovering on the ground at about the same time and was now standing. Gwendoline whirled her around and knocked her senseless. "That was for ruining my wedding." Gwenivere retaliated by elbowing Gwendoline in the chest. She was ready to kick Gwendoline, but something had her leg. She turned to see that a puppy, growling in a way that was anything but threatening, had attached itself to her leg, biting. "Let go you little nuisance," she shouted and kicked the puppy into the air. She then turned her attention back to Gwendoline. "Now it's time to repay you for ruining my life. I hope you are prepared to meet yout maker."

Hmm, that was more mayhem that a cat fight. *Shrugs* but there was cake. There are two, count them, two chapters left! And then the end. Toodles! BP
