Chapter 7: Beauty and the Wicked

Blair stood smiling next to her brother. Luther himself was still grinning and letting out little laughs as he ran his fingers through his red-blond hair. Every time he did she would ask 'what is it?' and he's respond 'just thinking.'

Nel was happy to be out of her fat teapot shape and back into a shapely woman herself. She was also happy to be put out of charge of Roger.

Fayt was going around, trying to make sure he knew who everyone was again. At the end of the line he met the two glistening brown eyes he had never met before. He knew them right away.

"Mayu... thank you for so much." He hugged her, the two feeling more like siblings than anything else.

Albel smiled as he watched his 'wife' go around and talk to the guests. Then the question hit him "Mother, if father was turning into The Crimson Scourge... then what were you?"

The woman let out a nervous chuckle. "Ask your father."

Glou was quick on the question. "Think about your birthday and take a guess."

The real answer made Albel shiver with disgust. "That's gross... Wait, then why didn't you ever talk to me!"

"My mouth was... busy, dear."

"Ugh!" He covered his face, peeking out to see Fayt motioning to him. Hurrying, he met up with him.

The older Mrs. Nox shook her head. "I would have rather had a female daughter-in-law... but as long as the curse is broken and our son is happy..."

Her husband sighed. "There goes the family lineage...Now who will take over the castle..."

"Don't worry, dear." She kissed him. "I'm sure Blair and Luther have it covered."

"What!"

Fayt carefully led the two-left-footed Albel across the floor, laughing whenever he grew angry and frustrated. The laugh always charmed him to settle down and try again.

"So... how did the book end? Did they live happily ever after?" Fayt rested the side of his head on his lover's shoulder as they danced.

"They... ended up together. The annoying girl died. The other annoying girl came back from her 'creator' and repaid the favor."

"What did she do?"

Albel smiled wickedly. "You'll have to read it to me and find out for yourself." He nuzzled the boy's neck affectionately. "But, yes, they did live happily ever after."

Thank you all for pushing me to the end! As a treat, I'll give you some more of the script and a dead Sophia voodoo doll!

Cliff: Right from the moment when I met him, saw him I said he's gorgeous and I fell. Here in town there's only he, who is beautiful as me, so I'm making plans to woo and marry Fayt.
Mirage & Maria: Look there he goes Isn't he dreamy? Monsieur Cliff, oh he's so cute! Be still, my heart, I'm hardly breathing! He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute!
