"Ziggy!" Kit called running up to the candy enthusiast just as he'd left his house.

Ziggy stopped in his tracks when he heard Kit call his name. He turned round and smiled at kit but his smile soon faded when he saw the expression on Kit's face.

"What's wrong?" he asked when Kit had come to a stop next to him.

Kit caught his breath, "Robyn hasn't spoken to you lately has she?"

"About what?"

"Lily. Apparently Robyn and her had words or rather Lily had words with Robyn and said some nasty stuff. The problem is that we don't know what was said, she's not told anyone. Me, Robbie and Sportacus are clueless and I thought she might have said something to you." Kit explained.

Ziggy shook his head, "She said something about Lily but wouldn't say anymore than that she'd spoken to her. I tried to get the rest out of her but she refused."

"Damn," Kit swore in frustration. "I'll have to find her and see what I can get out of her not that it'll be much if anything. I tell you, if I ever meet this Lily I'd be glad to give her a piece of my mind."

Ziggy shuddered, "I'd advise against that whether she's alive or dead."

Kit nodded and then ran off in search of Robyn.

Robyn sat in her garden and had Skip with her. She'd found the cheeky little dog trying to dig up a patch of her garden and had picked him up to stop him from causing further mischief. Skip had ceased his struggles after a few strong words from Robyn and had licked her face by way of apology.

As soon as Kit had entered the garden Skip jumped off of Robyn's lap and made a 'bee line' for his master. Kit grabbed the small dog and gave him a hug before setting the Terrier back on his feet and ordering him to find his bag. Skip barked and then ran off. Kit couldn't help but laugh every time he saw Skip run, the dog's back leg would hover in the air and the two front legs would do all the work. It was a trick the dog had taught himself and required the perfect balance.

Once Skip had gone Kit turned to Robyn and saw her walking over to him. He held out his arms and Robyn hugged him tightly. She knew why he was there, she'd wondered how long it would take him to speak to the others and then come to find her.

"Talk to me," was all Kit said. He felt Robyn shake her head against his shoulder. "Why not?" He asked.

"They're not words I can repeat."

"Try." Kit pressed.

Robyn broke away from the hug, "I can't. I can't say them."

"Please Robyn. If Sportacus or Robbie asks what was said I can tell them. You only have to tell me." Kit reasoned looking deeply into Robyn's blue eyes.

Sighing Robyn told Kit what Lily had said to her. Kit was sickened by what he heard. He could tell why Robyn had refused to say anything to anyone. Hugging Robyn and giving her a kiss he told Robyn that it was ok for her to come home when she was ready. He promised to speak to Sportacus and her dad about what had been said.

Sportacus and Robbie were still talking when Kit came back. The younger man looked agitated and both asked what was wrong.

"She told me." Kit began. "I don't know if I should repeat what Lily said and I can understand why Robyn refused to tell us. Let's just say some of the accusations and threats Lily made weren't pretty."

"Accusations?" Robbie and Sportacus asked simultaneously.

"Yes. Accusations which included Sportacus strangling his own sister half to death,"

Sportacus looked down.

"They were all true weren't they?" Kit knew he'd interpreted Sportacus' reaction properly.

Sportacus could only nod.

After this little revelation Kit made Robbie and Sportacus confess to all of the accusations. When every single one was deemed as true Kit struggled to take it all in. He'd not known of Robbie's past life as a villain which had come to an end after Lily's attack on him. Robyn hadn't known either. Kit himself felt angry and disappointed with both of them but more so with Sportacus. He didn't know why Sportacus had never told Robyn the full story about her dad. Yes it wasn't a pretty picture but at least she'd have known and found out in a much nicer way than the ravings of her lunatic mother.

"You have to tell her what you told me." Kit stated. "It will hurt her like hell but she has to know. The doubt she's feeling is driving her mad. Tell her the truth before I do."

Sportacus was about to say something but caught sight of a flash of lilac through the crack of the semi shut door. Looking at Robbie in horror he ran after Robyn knowing that she'd heard everything.

Robyn was almost at the front door when Sportacus caught up with her. He blocked her way when she tried to get out and refused to budge. On extremely rare occasions Robyn would have fits of temper almost as bad as Lily's and had to be restrained to prevent her doing harm to herself. Thankfully Robyn would never harm anyone intentionally when she had these turns and they were extremely rare. Robyn was having one of these fits now and Sportacus removed his attention from the door to calming Robyn down. He held her arms and tried to pull her to a nearby chair but she resisted.

Kit, hearing the commotion that was going on downstairs left Robbie's room to see what was going on. When Sportacus noticed him standing at the top of the stairs watching in extreme confusion what was going on called to Kit to help. Kit didn't respond and Sportacus explained what was happening. Remembering what Sportacus had said to him some time after he'd confessed his love to Robyn about these tantrums Kit came to the rescue. He'd never seen Robyn like this even if he knew they could happen and was scared.

After a few minutes Sportacus and Kit managed to get Robyn into a chair and eventually managed to quiet the girl. Dealing with Robyn when she had a fit of temper was exhausting work and it was never certain how long it would take to bring her out of them. They'd started happening about a year after Robbie's death. The first two years had been the worst with a fit of temper happening nearly every other day. Gradually they'd begun to ease off and after a few more years never seemed to happen at all. A child psychologist had been brought in but could find no concrete cause for them. They'd just been put down to trauma and the case had never been reopened.

Robbie strained his ears to detect any sounds coming from downstairs. He could hear nothing and guessed that Robyn had been successfully calmed. He'd witnessed one or two of her fits when he'd been a ghost and had trembled at the sheer power of them. Robyn would scream at the top of her lungs and struggle against whoever was restraining her. He remembered a time when someone had failed to restrain her and Robyn had banged her head repeatedly against a wall. When Robyn awoke from these fits she'd remember nothing of them and would be her normal self.

The sound of someone knocking on the front door and voices downstairs reached Robbie's ears and broke his reverie. Even though the words were indistinct he could recognise Stephanie's and Pixel's voices. He guessed they must have heard the commotion too.

An hour later Robyn stepped into her father's bedroom and closed the door behind her. They had to talk.
