A/N: I decided that I had time for another chappy so here it goes. If you have reviewed my chapters, thank you! :-)

.:Chapter Two: Gone?:.

.:"I would have loved to see that," the male voice said as Annette and Blaine described Kathryn's little outburst at Sebastian Valmont's funeral:.

.:"If we're lucky, they'll put her in the looney bin and that way..." the male paused as he sat back in his chair, flexing his fingers as he spoke, "things would be much easier. Thank god I am rich enough so I can fix things again.":.

.:Annette went over to the man, who grabbed her and pulled her down onto his lap, grinning devilishly at her:.

.:"How are you going to fix all of that?" she asked, her eyebrow raising a bit. He laughed:.

.:"I am Sebastian Valmont. If there's anything no one can accomplish, then I can do it.":.

.:"Hey I thought you might want to talk," Kathryn Mertueil heard and she looked up to see Cecile Caldwell standing there in her living room. Kathryn was sprawled across the couch:.

.:"I'd rather not," Kathryn said slowly and bitterly as she sat up, glaring at Cecile:.

.:"I don't know why you tried so hard to hurt me for, I never loved Court," Cecile said. Kathryn smirked:.

.:"Hooray for you," she sarcastically said as she went to the window to peer out at the busy street:.

.:"Why are you so willing to help me?" Kathryn asked as she turned to Cecile. Cecile shrugged innocently:.

.:"Well because we're friends..." Cecile drifted off, her voice fading as she saw Kathryn's glare of suspicion:.

.:"I'm sure," Kathryn said dryly, obviously not convinced. Cecile sighed as she went and ungracefully plopped down on the couch Kathryn had been sprawling on:.

.:"All right, Ronald asked me to," Cecile admitted. Kathryn's eyes widened a bit in surprise and shocked as she blinked at Cecile for a long moment:.

.:"Oh?" Kathryn asked without emotion. Cecile nodded as she clasped her hands together, looking down at the polished floor:.

.:"He feels as if it is his fault Sebastian is dead. I mean...he believes he was out of hand and thinks maybe he wasn't so bad because he saved Annette," Cecile revealed:.

.:"Oh. Well no I don't need your help. I don't need anyone. I'm fine alone, after all, misery loves company. So scat before you become drowned in it yourself," she said. Cecile stood up to leave and as she was doing so, Kathryn walked over to her:.

.:"I envy you," Kathryn said as Cecile blinked:.

.:"What? Why?" Cecile asked suspiciously. Kathryn smirked as she walked in a complete circle around Cecile:.

.:"First you steal Court from under my nose, then you take Ronald and you- you got to sleep with Sebastian," Kathryn hissed, her eyes narrowed and full of anger and envy:.

.:"Now leave," Kathryn demanded. Cecile nodded as she turned and ran out of the room. Kathryn clenched her fists as she returned to the window. She gasped when she saw Sebastian's car in its usual spot. She rolled her eyes, thinking Annette had came to see her when she saw him:.

.:"No...it can't be," Kathryn said softly to herself as she stared at Sebastian Valmont, who was in the car, looking up at her. There was no mistaking him. He looked not dead, but quite alive. Kathryn shook her head and closed her eyes:.

.:"No...no! I am imaging it!" she cried as she turned from the window, squeezing her eyes shut:.

.:"It's not real...not real," she muttered as she slowly opened her eyes and cautiously approached the window before she peered out. Her mouth dropped open. Sebastian and his car was gone:.
