Aurora: Sorry for the long awaited update, um…I had a lot of things to do since sophomore year started and well; I just haven't had time to update at all. *Sweat drops*
Cain walks into the room two seconds later…
Cain: Yeah right Aurora; you're the girl who has a lot of time on her hands.
Aurora: Jeez, will you shut up already Cain! I don't have a lot of time on my hands, unlike you since you go to a party almost every night.
Cain: *glares* I don't do that every night. FYI sis, I've been staying home for the past two days
Aurora: No you haven't.
Cain: I have, if you don't believe me, just ask Riff or Cassandra.
Riff walks into the room accompanied by Cassandra…
Cassandra: What's going on here?
Riff: I think I have a good idea.
Cassandra: Same here. *smirks* Let me guess, you two are getting into a fight about the fact that Aurora hasn't had time to update Dark Light, White Light: Angels and that you go to a party almost every night, right Cain?
Cain: Pretty much…but I have been home the past two days, haven't gone to a single party what so ever.
Aurora: We can discuss this later; can someone just read the disclaimer?
Mary walks in a minute later…
Mary: Older Sister Aurora does not own The Count Cain Saga or Godchild, they belong to Kaori Yuki. She does own the plot, herself as an OC, and Cassandra. Did I forget anything?
Aurora: No Mary, you didn't and thank you very much for reading the disclaimer.
Mary: You're welcome. *Smiles*
Cain: I don't want to rush things Princess, but can we continue with Chapter 2?
Aurora: *looks away from Cain*
Cain: What's wrong sis, can't handle the pressure?
Aurora: Maybe…I'm blaming you for this.
Cain: Why?
Cassandra: *Shoots Cain a glare.* we can continue this after the chapter is over.
Riff: Cassandra's right you know Cain.
Cain: Fine. *pouts*

Chapter 2: Conversations
The next morning was unlike any other. Sure, I get to wake everyone up, but it doesn't help that I have to wake Lady Cassandra up. What in the heck am I saying?
Really, it doesn't help much that she looks cute in her sleep. Wait, did I just say cute? Oh, for the love of Hargreaves, I think I'm loosing it.
This morning, breakfast was silent, nothing odd about that. Still, I can't help but feel weird around Lady Cassandra. It's like I'm out of place when I'm with her, and it doesn't feel right.
"Riff, is something wrong?" I hear Lady Cassandra ask. It snaps me out of my thoughts, and I stare at her.
"No, there isn't anything wrong," I answer as the maids clear away the table.
"Are you sure Riff?" She asks again just to make sure.
"Yes, I'm sure," I respond quietly.
I get worried looks from both Lord Cain and Lady Aurora. It seems that they know something that I don't. I wonder what it is…but I don't stick around to find out, since I had things to do around the mansion.
Right at tea time, things started to get weirder, since I saw Lady Cassandra staring at me again. What in the heck is going on? I wondered as the thought processed itself in my mind.
"Riff, once you're done with everything, I want to talk to you in my room after dinner," she requested.
"As you wish," I answered as she smiled. Lord Cain, Lady Aurora, and Miss Mary stared at me as Lady Cassandra went to finish drinking her tea. That night, I went to meet Lady Cassandra in her room…
I opened the door to her room, and I saw her sitting on her bed. She smiled up at me and motioned for me to sit down beside her. I did so without compliant. But it felt odd to sit down beside her, unlike with Lady Aurora, you could relax in her presence, but with Lady Cassandra, it felt like you had to be on your guard at all times. How strange.
"What do you want to talk about Lady Cassandra?" I wondered as she stared at me.
"I just want to know what's been on your mind lately," she answered in a worried tone.
That statement caught me off guard off for a few moments as I wondered how to answer her. "It's nothing, but I've just been worried lately," I replied quietly.
"Worried about what?" She wondered as I bit my lower lip.
"I guess I just worry too much about you guys," I answer as she stares into my ocean blue eyes.
She doesn't answer as she stares at me. I know that she wants to ask me something, but can't. I dare not bring it up as I see her smile. There is something about her that makes me not want to think of what may happen in the near future, because I do not what to think about it at the moment.
I soon leave and quietly close her door as I do. I then go and check on everything in the house, make sure that everything is locked up tight, so no one can get in, and maybe not get out tonight.
Once I was satisfied, I went up to bed, not before reminding Lord Cain who was in the basement to make sure to put away all his poisons before going to bed. I know that he did this, since he wouldn't dare hurt anyone in this household.
Well, right now, I think I'll hold another discussion for another day, since it's time for me to get some shut eye. But I'm starting to wonder why I keep thinking about Lady Cassandra after our conversation.

Aurora: Sorry for the short chapter…
Cain: Yeah right!
Aurora: *sobbing.* you're mean older brother, besides what can I do if I haven't updated in a while?
Cain: Blame yourself.
Aurora: *Starts hitting Cain* you're mean, how can you say these things if you love me?
Cain: I have no idea. *Smiles*
Aurora: Then that means that you don't care about me at all!
Cain: I'm kidding, and don't blame yourself sis, I do care about you. * grabs me in a hug*
Aurora: Thanks older brother. *hugs*
Cassandra: *Walks in with Riff* what's going on?
Aurora/Cain: Nothing.
Riff: Uh-huh.
Mary: *Runs into the room* By the way, did I miss anything?
Riff, Cassandra, Cain, and Aurora: Nope, not a thing.
Riff: I can't wait to see what happens next…
Cassandra: Don't forget to review, please and thank you.
Cain: If no one reviews my sister's story, I'll make sure to hunt you down personally!
Aurora and Mary: Older brother!
Mary: Please just dismiss what dear older brother said….if you can.
Aurora: I hope to see you all soon in the many exciting chapters I hope to post, my friends/reviewers.
