Bianca sat on the bed, her back to the door. She felt him come in, but he moved right past her. "How was your day, darling?" He asked, knowing what her answer would be.

"Why do you even ask? You know how my day was because you had your little minions watching my every move," She spat, venom in her voice. He didn't say anything, but she swore that she heard a soft chuckle come from him. "Why do you insist on fighting me?" He asked her.

"Why do you insist on keeping me here?" She asked, pushing herself off the bed.

"Because I love you."

"No you don't! You just enjoy hurting your brother and driving me insane!" He smiled at this, and moved closer to her. Her back was to him. He pushed his arms around her waist and ruffly pulled her against him. She squinted her eye's shut. "Wyatt, just let go." She said, implying more to their 'marriage' then to him holding her.

"Because, you're worth to much to him." He admitted. She pulled away, and he let her go.

"I loved you once, you know." He said.

"And then you turned into the poison that you are." She said. And then, she shimmered out.

"Do you want us to fallow her?" One of his guards asked.

"No. Let her go this last time." Wyatt said, a look of fury on his face.

When she shimmered into the garden, she saw the figure sitting on the stone bench.

"Fancy meeting you here." She said sweetly. He turned around, not expecting her to be there.

"How'd you get away?" He asked, standing up.

"He let me go."

"They'll fallow you."

"Not this time. I have a feeling that Wyatt will let me be this one last time."

"What about our plan?" He asked as she walked closer to him.

"I'm working on that." She told him, putting her head on his chest. He put his arm's around her, and they sat back down. "I hate it up there." She told him.

"I know." He said, wishing that he could just orb them to another planet. One where he couldn't find them.

"I have something that I've been meaning to ask you." He said, pulling away. He pulled a tiny diamond ring from his pocket. "When I come back from the past, and things are different, like they will be, do you think maybe you'll want to marry me?" He asked. She smiled, and he saw her eye's become glassy.

"And what if, when you do change things, you come back, and I don't love you anymore? What then?"

"Well then, I'll just have to make you fall in love with me again." He joked. She laughed.

"Ok. When you come back, no matter how things are, I'll marry you." She kissed him. But, when he gave her the ring, she handed it back to him. "Ok, first off, if Wyatt found this, I don't even want to think about what could happen. Secondly, take that with you. To remember me."

"I could never forget you." He told her. She smiled.

"Well, I want you to have something to tie you to me. So, keep that. Give it to me when you get back." They sat there for a few minuets, just enjoying each other's company. Then, she stood up. "I should go. I'll meet you in front of the Manor in two days. Noon." And then she shimmered away.

When she shimmered back into the bedroom, Wyatt was waiting. "How is my brother?" She didn't say anything, she just looked at him with such malice, that he almost didn't recognize her. "Such hatred. What's gotten into you?"

"You're poison, Wyatt." She spat as she walked away.
