Disclaimer: I do NOT own Lilo and Stitch or their characters. I only own story, plot, and three experiments: Drea, Slyther, and Master
Lilo inhaled the summer breeze deeply, turning to lay on her side. Her movements disturbed Stitch who moaned faintly before cracking an eye open. He instantly shut it when the sun's rays beamed on his face. He rubbed his eyes tiredly, knowing it was time to get up. Stitch yawned before twisting his head to look at his still sleeping lover.
He smiled and leant down to her ear. "Lilo, buchee-bu." He whispered to her. "Time to get up."
"Mmm." Lilo groaned. "Not right now."
Stitch smiled then traced the contours of Lilo's body with his claws. He inclined his head and began licking the shell of her ear. Lilo giggled at the tickling sensation. His claws, which were already to her ankles, tantalizingly slid past her shorts and stopped at her shirt. His hands went under them, fondling with her belly.
His head abandoned her ear and traveled to her neck. Lilo sucked in a breath as he teasingly brushed his lips along her neck, humming into the soft flesh. His hands on her stomach went to her sides to caress them caringly. Still having her eyes closed, she rolled in the hammock to face him, a small smile plastered on her face.
He reached over to kiss her temple, her cheeks, her jaw, her closed eyes, and finally her nose. Stitch went for her lips, but didn't touch them with his. He remained a hair breadth away from her lips. All she could feel from him, were his hands slowly retreating from her waist and his warm breath on her mouth.
She gasped silently as his tongue sketched along her lips, causing her to lose what little bit of control she had. She wrapped her arms around his neck and cradled his head securely so he wouldn't pull away and clashed her lips on his. Their lips danced together zealously, wanting to pour out all their bottled up love during the teasing.
Stitch was the first one to break away, smiling contently on her face. She cuddled closer, moaning quietly into his chest as he kissed her temple.
"Come on buchee-bu. It's sunset, remember I wanted to take you out?" Stitch enquired.
She smiled. "I remember."
He kissed her gently before rolling off the hammock, landing perfectly on his feet. Lilo pushed herself up and slid off the hammock as well. He went around to her side, throwing an arm around her waist.
"First, let's wake you up with some practice." He replied.
He reached for her hand and together, they ran to Jumba's ship. They noticed Jumba sitting at his desk, writing down some paperwork for his new invention.
He noticed Lilo and Stitch entering the ship. He stopped working on his experiment to greet them and ask how Lilo was progressing. Stitch filled him in about Lilo's lessons. By the end, Jumba nodded in approval about what she can do.
"Did anything happen?" Jumba interrogated. " About Pre experiments?"
"Well, Drea's dead so we won't have to worry about her. Slyther is with Angel, so I don't know if that's looking good for us. He might be tricking her." Stitch responded.
There was a moment of silence, so Lilo decided to talk about the dream. "Stitch and I also had a dream. Nightmare really."
Jumba was not at all surprised. He knew his experiment and Lilo loved each other more than words could say, so it was natural they were able to have a dream together. "Please be explaining dream."
The details of the dream were slightly blurred. They could only remember pieces of the dream. They forgot the words they exchanged to each other in the dream, words that people would not call words of love. They did remember the coldness in Stitch's eyes and the fear overwhelming Lilo's entire being.
For about twenty minutes, Lilo and Stitch conversed with their rather father figure. All four of his eyes widened in horror when they explained in best details as they could about the dream.
"What could this mean Jumba?" Lilo whimpered as she tightened her grip on Stitch's hand. "Is this something we need to look out for?"
"Eh, Jumba thinks it is being dream. Nothing can be hurting either one of you."
"Jumba, we've had dreams like this for a long time and every time, they come true. Don't you think that maybe this is a warning of what will happen in the future?" Stitch enquired, reassuringly stroking his girlfriend's hand.
"If you two are feeling that way, then do look out for yourselves. Jumba still thinks nightmare was only dream. In the meantime, Little Girl needs to know her powers." Jumba repiled.
Lilo released Stitch's hand and stood without delay. She held herself tall with her chest out and chin up. Her eyes blazed with determination as she stared at Jumba. Stitch kissed her cheek quickly then went to stand about five inches behind her in case she needed help.
"Pre 701 has powers of both Pre 699 and Pre 700." Jumba went over to the huge TV plastered on the wall. People could instantly mistaken it as a plasma TV. He went over to the keyboard and allowed his fingers dance across them. A beeping was heard from the computer and it brought up the three Pre experiments.
As Stitch gazed at the image of Drea, Pre 699, his ears lowered behind his head in guilt. Even though she was a bad girl, she was still an experiment and any experiment created by Jumba is a member of his ohana. Of course, 627, 628, and Leroy were too evil, so there was just no way they could be part of his family. It saddened him to see Drea was dead and he didn't even get a chance to know her, to see if she really is all that bad.
Lilo noticed his despair from learning Drea's death. She wanted to hug him, to sooth him, but thought it would be best to leave him alone. Next to Drea, were Pre 700, Slyther, and Pre 701.
"Pre 699 used to have powers concerning fire. That is being why I gave you ice powers and fire powers combined to fight her off. However, I can see 699 isn't going to be a problem for you Little Girl." Jumba replied almost sadly as he sniffed. Another one of my experiments. Gone. "Pre 700 is mostly about fighting. That is being why I want 626 to teach you how to fight. When he attacks you, you'll be able to fight him off. Aside from that, only other power he has is strength. Jumba couldn't be giving you phenomenal strength like 626 Little Girl, but with your super speed, you'll be able to outrun him. The super speed is provided from Pre 701. If you see him, try your best to get as far away from him as possible. If he attacks you, then Jumba says attack him back. I'm being advising you Little Girl that when you are dominating him, then use your super speed to run or you can use telepathy to 626 if you're in a huge jam."
Lilo nodded to show her affirmation. "So, are we going to practice?"
Jumba pondered to himself then shook his head. "Nah, Jumba thinks you'll be fine. All you need to be learning Little Girl, is how to use your powers. 626 will be teaching you that in the near future, am I being correct 626?"
Stitch nodded then went over to kiss Lilo on the cheek. "I'll be back buchee-bu."
He pecked her lips briefly, then turned to exit the ship. Lilo's eyes stared at the back of him dreamily, her cheeks flushed. Jumba witnessed the sight and smiled. "626 really loves you Little Girl."
"Yeah. And I love him." Lilo answered then sighed. "I just wish Nani would leave us alone."
Jumba pushed himself away from the wall he was currently leaning on and knelt down next to Lilo. "What is Bigger Girl doing?"
"She keeps telling me I'm making a mistake. That Stitch doesn't love me." She replied bitterly.
Jumba grasped her chin between his two large fingers and turned her face to him. "She's just protecting you Little Girl. Older sibling is overprotective I know, but that's only because she cares about you. Bigger Girl don't want anything to happen to her Baby."
"But I'm not a baby. And she always treats me like one." She grumbled, folding her arms across her chest.
"Older Girl thinks of you as her baby. After all Little Girl, you are being only blood relative left. She doesn't want anything to happen to you. Sibling loves you just as much as myself, 626, and Pleakley do. You are very lucky Little Girl, Jumba never had siblings or parents to care for me except for Father. Shame he died in fire." It was obvious Jumba was trying to hold back tears. "Anyways, Little Girl, you have to realize Bigger Girl loves you and doesn't want you hurt, emotion or physical."
Lilo nodded. "I love her too. She is my big sister after all and almost like a mom to me, even though I prefer her as my sister. Even through our share of fights, she's always there for me in the end." Lilo smiled.
"Correct Little Girl." Jumba murmured to her. "Little Girl, Lilo," Lilo lifted her chin to look at him when said her name. "You are growing up, too fast for us liking, but know that you and 626 will still be our babies. Even if you two grow up, marry, and have kids of your own, you two are still our babies in our eyes."
Lilo nodded and grinned. "And you guys will always be mine and Stitch's ohana."
Jumba held her faintly for a minute until someone cleared his throat. Jumba released Lilo who turned around. There, framed in the moonlight, was her boyfriend Stitch except he was in his Kenny costume. His blond wig fluttering lightly to the breeze and clothed in a red T-shirt, blue jeans, sneakers, and a chain boyish necklace resting on his chest. In his hands, he carried a bouquet of beautiful flowers.
Lilo sprinted to him and threw her arms around his neck. Stitch hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead. Lilo took the flowers from him gratefully and inhaled their sweet jasmine scent. She smiled dreamily while leaning on him.
"Will you go out with me tonight Lilo?" He whispered to her.
"I will on one condition." She murmured back. She kissed him on the lips and kept them there for a while. When she pulled away, they were staring into each other's eyes dazed. "Let me go get ready."
With that, she handed him back the flowers and raced inside the house. Stitch watched her go then turned to his creator. "Jumba?"
"Yes 626?" His creator asked.
"She's the one." He breathed.
"626! Are you sure?" Jumba asked wildly. "After all, you two have been together for only a little while."
"I can feel it when I'm with her." Stitch replied. "This feeling… I've never had it with Angel! Jumba, I love her so much I feel as if I could just scream it at the top of my lungs!"
"Alright, no need to be getting sappy on Jumba." He chuckled.
"I love her so much I can't even think straight." Stitch replied.
Jumba nodded. He strolled over to a cabinent and plucked one side door open with his massive hands. He pulled out a rack containing plethora of beautifully crafted rings. He plucked one out and pushed the rack back in. He swiveled then walked over to the little blue experiment with one of the elegant piece of fine jewelery. He knelt down in front of his experiment who took out his paw. Jumba handed Stitch the ring.
He gazed at the little thing lovingly, his heart fluttering in his chest at the mental picture of this ring around Lilo's finger. He heard footsteps behind him and immediately hid the ring in his pant pocket. He turned and felt his breath leave him.
Lilo stared back at him, in a lovely white dress. The silky white dress fell below her knees and swayed behind her. On her bossom had gemstones embroidered around the neckline. She wore the same butterfly necklace her mother used to wear. Sandals adorned her feet while her hands remained bare. Her eyes, angelic and sweet, stared into his. A kind smile lightened her appearance.
"Lilo, you look… wow." Stitch complimented. "I never knew you had that dress."
"It's not mine." Lilo grinned. "When I was younger, and curious, I got a hold of Nani's old baby clothes box from when she was a baby to age 10. I found a lot of cute dresses, but this one caught my attention. I stole it."
Stitch chuckled and walked over to Lilo. "You little theif."
She giggled. "Don't I get it from the best?"
He chuckled mirthfully. "I'm such a bad influence on you."
She nuzzled his chest, purring contently. Stitch pecked the top of her head before releasing her and taking her soft hand in his. They waved goodbye to Jumba who waved back and watched them disappear into the night.
Meanwhile, Slyther watched Angel as she gathered her purse for their night. He stared at her back, licking his lips deliciously. Angel turned around and slung her purse over her shoulder. Slyther stood and strolled over to the pink beauty. He kissed her lips softly, a genuine smile settling itself on his lips.
"Ready to go beautiful?" He asked.
She nodded. "Ready."
He cradled her delicate paw while she grasped his calloused one. They walked out into the night and over to Angel's car. Angel slid inside the passenger side while Slyther climbed in the driver's side. He turned the key to start the igntion, pulled the brake to drive, and took off. Angel trilled with approval for she had been the one to teach him. He grinned at her then flipped on the radio. A tender love song played through the car, causing Angel to get into her loving moods. She laid her head on his shoulder, nuzzling it gently.
He smiled to himself while keeping his eyes on the road. Her eyes closed, but she was far from falling asleep. She was eager for the night and see if she had finally cracked the ice in Slyther's hidden heart.
While this was happening, Stitch in his costume and Lilo in her sister's beautiful white dress slipped inside a resturant. They stared around the area, seeing couples kissing passionately, holding each other tenderly, dancing gracefully on the dance floor while the DJ controlled the music, and couples staring at each other adoringly past the candlelights while eating their meals.
Stitch walked with Lilo over to a seat. They cuddled up together as the waiter, who lead them, handed them their menus. All around, couples stared at them. Men were smiling and nodding while women were swooning over the young love. All of them were saying things like "Oh, look at how cute they are!" or "Young love. So sweet." or " They really love each other."
Lilo and Stitch blushed at all the sayings, but paid no attention to it. Stitch suddenly saw a glimpse of brunette hair. Stitch nudged his girlfriend who looked up at him questioningly.
"Victoria." He replied and pointed over to a seat where Victoria was sitting holding hands with someone with the same colored hair.
"Keoni." Lilo breathed. She chuckled. "About time he finds a girl huh?"
"You're okay with this?" Stitch asked her, remembering the time when he confessed his feelings to her, but she refused because she still had a crush on Keoni.
Of course I'm fine. Stitch, I may have had a crush on him in the past, but that was it. Past, as if I had a crush on him. Not anymore. He's my past and you're my present and future." Lilo replied, smiling at him lovingly.
Stitch beamed. "That's right and no other man better be involved in your life but me."
"Stay with me. Love me. Care for me. And no man will ever get a second glance from me." Lilo vowed.
"I'll never leave you and no other girl will have my love except for you." Stitch promised back, then leaned over to kiss her.
A round of "Awws" circulated the resturant. Even young waiters and waitresses stopped serving to watch them, wondering if their love lives will be just as wonderful as theirs.
The attention they were gaining caused them to break apart bashfully. They asked for the waiter nearby for drinks then scanned through the menus to find their desirable meals.
Meanwhile, Slyther and Angel seated themselves inside a different resturant. They had already obtained their drinks and filled in their orders. Slyther sipped from his water while Angel thirstily gulped down her soda. She let out a loud burp, causing him to raise his eyebrow at her.
"Now that's not very lady like." He chuckled. Then grabbed her soda and chugged down most of it. Just like Angel had, his lips emitted an even louder burp.
She giggled. "I'm not a girly girl."
"Thank goodness." He murmured. "Can't stand girls like that."
"Then you wouldn't have liked Myrtle Edmonds." Angel replied. "She always dresses up like a princess every Halloween and has a screechy voice."
"Myrtle Edmonds?" Slyther asked nervously, wondering if Angel knew of Myrtle's demise.
"Yeah, but she died. At least, that's what I heard from Lilo." Angel replied.
Slyther perked his ears wondering if he should tell her how Myrtle actually died. He decided to leave it alone however and continue flirting with this pretty experiment. "So, gorgeous, tell me more about yourself."
"What are you interested in?" Angel asked, blushing madly. She had never had a real date with Stitch before, so she didn't have a whole lot experience with the 'tell me about yourself' line.
Slyther leaned forward, his eyebrows wiggled suggestively. "You."
She flushed again. "Okay, well, the first time I arrived on Earth, I was instantly captured by Captain Gantu…"
And the conversation flowed from there. Angel described the days she was held captive by Gantu, helping him capture some experiments that Hamsterviel grew unimpressed with and demanded Gantu to free. Angel described about the time she met Stitch and Lilo. She told him about how jealous Lilo became and how she tried to deceive Stitch only to feel enamored by him in the end. She told him about the lonely months she spent locked inside the ship, wishing for Stitch or anybody to release her.
Slyther listened intently, feeling his heart weakening. To him, it sounded like Stitch used to be her everything. He imagined Stitch and Angel staring into each other's eyes while holding the other tightly. Their eyes radiating the love they felt for each other. He snapped back to reality and stared at the pink beauty sitting across from him.
Will I ever make her happy? He thought to himself. Then he remembered his task with Master and how he had to cheat on Angel to lure Lilo into his trap. No, I'll just hurt her. I don't want to hurt her though. She's beautiful, inside and out, and I want her to be happy, not sad when I mislead her.
While this was happening, Stitch and Lilo were just finishing up their meals, washing down the remaining food with their drinks. Just when they finished, the lights dimmed. Stitch and Lilo looked around as couples stood from their seats and walked over to the dance floor. The song, How Do I Live Without You, by LeAnn Rimes began beating through the resturant.
"You want to dance?" Lilo asked timidly.
"Umm," Stitch gulped nervously. "I uh never danced before. Like that I mean." He pointed out the couples dancing closely to each other.
"Neither did I." Lilo answered then grabbed his hand. "But we can learn together." Stitch smiled as she gave him a light tug. "Come on buchee-bu. Dance with me."
He nodded and they slid from the seat. Stitch lead her to the dance floor, separating themselves from other couples. Stitch observed them, wondering on how they were going to do this. Lilo fulfilled his pondering by grabbing his arm, bringing that around her back. Stitch gulped and faced her, holding in his breath as she draped one arm around his shoulders and the other arm grasped his hand.
Together, they swayed to the soft music. With every word the girl singer sang, the more Lilo and Stitch fell into the moment.They let their feet guide them, gliding majestically across the dance floor. Even some couples stood out of the way to watch them, their eyes tearing up at the cute couple.
Stitch twirled Lilo before bringing her into his arms. She had her eyes closed as he brought her back to his stomach. He encircled her with his arms, breathing the words into her ear. "How do I live without you?"
Lilo smiled and breathed back. "How do I breathe without you?"
He spun her out again and this time, they stared into each other's eyes. Smiles lightened their air as they breathed the next words together. "How do I ever… ever survive?"
Stitch captured her lips as the song came to a close. Lilo wrapped her arms around his neck, drawing him closer. They kissed while everybody, including the staff, clapped for them. Teenage boys whistled at them while the girls cooed.
Lilo and Stitch heard the loud applause and broke away. Stitch leaned forward. "You wanna retreat to a quieter place my angel?"
Lilo nodded. "Yes, I do my knight."
They linked arms and exited the place. They forgot to pay for their meal, but the staff decided to let them go. After all, they didn't want to ruin their night of love.
The place Lilo and Stitch retreated to was at the cliff. Lilo laughed as she told Stitch about the time when she told him there were no cities. Stitch chuckled joyously, remembering how he had fell off the bike. She laid her head on his shoulder, sighing blissfully as she looked at the ocean, sparkling from the moonlight. Stitch looked up at the coated blue sky with millions of tiny stars, thanking the heavens he crashed on Earth and met the girl he unknowingly had been searching for.
He felt the weight of the ring in his pant pocket. He pushed Lilo away from him who stared at him curiously, wondering what was wrong. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring. Lilo gasped at the beauty of it. The main color was blue with a fancy design that spelled out '626'. In the middle of the ring, had a huge blue diamond rock. The ring may not have been the prettiest, but coming from Stitch, she would call anything beautiful than anything else.
"Jumba made promise rings for all experiments ranging 001 to 626. Though he didn't believe in love, he still believed his creations would find mates of their own. These promise rings are a symbol of true love and eternal devotion." Stitch explained as he reached for Lilo's hand. Her eyes were beginning to well up with tears as he placed the ring on her delicate finger. "Lilo, I give you this ring, with hope and love, for you to be eternally devoted to me and love me truly, forever."
Lilo smiled through her tears as he slid the ring on her finger and kissed her hand lovingly. "I accept this ring, with hope and love, to be eternally devoted to you and love you truly, forever." She replied back, bringing his face close to hers. Their lips locked into a fervor kiss.
While Lilo and Stitch's night were coming to a close, so were Angel and Slyther. They rode in Angel's car and back to the house. Slyther parked the car and turned to a sleeping Angel. He smiled and exited the car before going over to her passenger side door. He opened the car to cradle Angel who immediately cuddled into the warmth of his chest. With his foot, he kicked the door close and carried his sleeping Angel up the stairs and into her bedroom. He laid her in the still unmade bed, drawing the sheets over her body. He kissed her forehead, but before he could turn to leave, her voice sounded the quietness of the room. She asked him to stay, which he acquiesced to. He climbed under the covers, bringing his arms around her waist. She smiled and moved closer towards him, shivering in delight in his arms.
Slyther closed his eyes for sleep, but he didn't have a peaceful night.
The silver experiment sat in the rocking chair, cradling his daughter who had his body, but with scaly violet skin. She nuzzled deep inside his chest, zoning off to sleep. 700 rocked his baby girl to sleep, kissing her scaly head.
"Goodnight Baby699700." He whispered lovingly as he laid his daughter in the crib. Once Jumba and his dad learned about 699's pregnancy, Jumba's dad built them a small house for them. Only problem is, any experiment could break into it.
Once 700 bid his goodnights to his little girl, he moved to his son who had a dragon figure except silver fur with bloody red eyes. He stroked his little man's cheek lovingly with his fatherly touch. 700 didn't think he would ever be affectionate to his kids, but after having his daughter, son, and still with his wife, 699, everything turned out great for him.
He left the nursery and padded down the hallway. He stopped in front of his bedroom door, sliding it open. There was his wife, 699, in his bed sound asleep. He strolled over to her, slipping inside the warm covers. 699 moaned in delight as she began licking at his chest.
700 chuckled. "Buchee-bu, that is how our kids got started."
699 giggled almost seductively. "Then let's have a replay."
He laughed mirthfully and lifted her chin. He brought her lips to his, kissing them with passion. 699 clutched onto him as he pushed her back into the bed, leaving her mouth to trail lower down her scaly body. However, before they could advance further, they heard a crash from the window.
"W-What was that?" 699 muttered as she held 700's shoulders tightly.
"I don't know buchee-bu. Just grab the children and keep them safe. I'll see what's wrong." 700 responded as he licked his lover and walked out the door.
699 had a terrible feeling in her gut, but went ahead and did what her husband told her to do. She threw the door open to the nursery only to scream at the sight of an experiment with midnight black fur holding her dead babies.
"Baby699700! Baby700699!" She cried. Her babies had been decapitated and on the floor were their heads. The experiment threw them behind him and ran up to 699 and clutched her wrist. "700! Help me!"
"I won't hurt you 699." The experiment purred satantically. "I won't hurt you unless you struggle with me."
"W-What do you want?" She stuttered, tears spilling from her red orbs.
"I want you and 700 to join me." He growled.
Meanwhile, 700 had heard his wife's scream and dashed to the nursery. He opened the door quickly and gasped at the sight. His kids had been decapitated and his wife was in the arms of an experiment he did not know.
The experiment dropped 699 and ran over to her lover. He grasped his head with his claws, buzzing his powers through his victim's brain. 700 hissed in pain while 699 wept. She thought the experiment was going to kill her husband and she couldn't fight him with her fire in case he moved and she would hit her husband instead. However, what she didn't expect, was when the experiment let go of 700, he looked around. He stared at his dragon lover then at the black experiment. 699, relieved the experiment didn't kill her lover, ran straight into 700's arms. However, he pushed her away forcefully.
"Who are you!" He yelled at her.
"I'm 699, your buchee-bu." 699 muttered.
700 snarled. "You? My lover? Yeah right. Can I kill her Master?"
'Master?' The black experiment thought to himself. 'I like that name. It makes me feel threatening and powerful.' "No, 700. You and 699 are going to join me. And instead of being 699 and 700, I'm calling you two Drea and Slyther."
Slyther gasped as his eyes shot open. He remembered everything he once had with Drea, his previous dragon lover. He remembered every loving kiss, every tender caress, every moment with their kids. He remembered how that was all taken away by that cold blooded monster, no… demon.
"Drea? Drea?"
"Sly-Slyther. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why did you do that? Why didn't you delight yourself at the fact that Master was about to harm me?"
"Because I love you." "Many years ago, you and I were in love. We were buchee-bus and we loved each other very much. However, Master didn't stand for that kind of affection and he made you forget about me. I was upset at first, but then I got over it and moved on. However, even though I try to make myself hate you, I can't seem to forget your soft kiss and your loving touch. I still love you."
"Drea, I had no idea. Please, let me take you to Angel. She'll heal you."
"No Slyther. It's better this way. Now that Master has turned to me as his prey, I think I'll be better off dead. I won't have to endure his torture anymore. I can finally be at peace. There is one thing I want from you though Slyther.
"What's that?"
"I want you to say you love me, even if it's not the actual truth. Then, I want to die in your kiss."
"I love you Drea. Goodbye."
Slyther allowed a few tears to escape from his eyes. Drea was dead. His buchee-bu was gone and he let her go. He could've taken her to Angel who could've healed her, but all he did was stand there and watch her die. He kissed away her last breath of life and let her go. He should've done something! He lost someone very dear to him because of his stupid mistake.
He turned in his bed to face Angel. During the dream, he must've tossed and turned. He drank in her beautiful complexion, thinking about the night's events. He thought of Drea and how she died. He refused to let that happen to Angel too.
With great confidence, he rolled out of the bed. He kissed Angel's lips softly, whispering to her. "Angel, I'm so sorry. You're so sweet and I'm nothing but a liar. I don't deserve you, but you deserve something much more. I can't say I love you, but I care about you Angel and I don't want you to get hurt. I'm sorry I won't be by your side when the morning comes, but believe me, it's better for you. Goodbye my sweet."
He kissed her one last time and with a longing glance at her bed, he left. He strolled over to the late Edmonds residence to confront Master and tell him that it's over. He didn't want to hurt Angel and he didn't care if Master killed him. He refused to let Angel get hurt, much like Drea had.
Unknowingly to him, Angel heard his every word and fearful about what he meant, she followed. She trailed along unseen behind him, making sure he wouldn't see her. She watched him as he briskly walked up the stairs that led into the Edmonds' house. Gupling apprehensively, she followed him.
The door swung shut behind them, locking them inside the house for fate to decide what's in store for them.
