DG woke up before Glitch. She looked at the mirror. Her face showed absolute horror. The cover had fallen off. She slowly wrapped a sheet around her and as quiet as she could got out of bed. She walked over to the mirror and whispered. " When did the cloth fall?"
Ambrose looked at her with a sinister smile. " Very early on. I got quite the show. I felt it too. The love between you two. When his heart raced at seeing you undressed. The love he fills for the twins. I never had that.I yearned for it but never found it. I lose half a brain and then find it. I'm actually jealous of well... me."
" I'm sorry Ambrose. I really do wish you had experianced true love. I wish I could help you."
" Why do you want to help me? I have not been kind to you . Your truly your mother's daughter. You bear no hard feelings. They took out the right side of the brain. That means he got the left and... I wonder... You have given me something to think on Princess . I need time alone."
" Okay. Oh I'll make sure Glitch eats something so you don't get hungry."
Ambrose smiled. "Thank you ,Princess."
DG changed back into her nightgown and walked out of Glitch's room. As she closed the door she heard Az's door opened but to her shock saw Cain exit. Cain and DG stared at each other. Finally after what felt like an eternity Cain spoke first. " There was a rat."
" Really? Did this rat rip two of the top buttons on your shirt and give one, two, nope there's another one, three hickeys on your neck." DG tried not to laugh.
" Big rat. " Cain blushed. Az's door opened again and a hand reached out to Cain's arm.
DG by now was in a fit of giggles. " Another..rat." Cain turned even redder as he was taken back in to Az's room by the forceful hand.
DG walked back into Glitch's room. Glitch was awake by now but not out of bed. " Hey Doll for a minute there I thought last night was a dream. Why do you look like your about to keel over from laughing?"
DG got back into bed and wrapped herself in his arms. " You will not believe what I just saw."
Meanwhile in Az's room...
Az paced around her room as Cain stood there. " Okay , Mr. Cain obviously last night happened because we were drunk."
" Yeah the exploding headaches are a sign of that. So is the bright light from your window."
Az looked at him." Sorry." She closed the curtains. Cain watched her stretch her arms and his eyes followed her arms down to chest. He shook his head to try to come back to reality.
" You know your much more beautiful without makeup. You wear too much." He said and then wondered why he said it.
Az was clearly taken aback and her cheeks reddened. " Thank you . Now about last night. It's a one time thing. I mean we could never work. Your wife is dead because of me. It could never work."
He noticed she seemed to be trying to convience herself of that more than him. " Listen Princess. I don't blame you I really don't. I've learn to not hold on to the past, maybe you need to learn that too."
" Maybe but we were still drunk last night. " she said as she surveyed his body , Cain noticed this and smiled. " So whatever last night was ,it's over." The disappointment across her face was so transparent.
Cain walked over to her and grabbed her by the waist. " Like hells it is." He passionately kissed her, tongue and all. Az wrapped her arms around his neck. She started crying. Cain felt the tears. He stopped kissing her and with concern in his voice asked " What's wrong?"
Her voice was breaking. " Thank you, Cain."
" DG was the favorite wasn't she? She has the friends and protectors . Who are you friends with? Who protects you?" Cain kissed her forehead.
" She was the favorite. Still is. I'm actually okay with it. I have come to terms with it. Besides my sister I have no friends. I am my own protector ,though not by choice." Her face looked like a lonely,lost girl. Cain was suprised how much he hurt seeing his former enemy aching.
" You have a protector now. You have a friend now. Your number one to someone. You have... You have a lover now that actually cares about the real you." Cain hugged her tightly as she cried .
She sobbed into his shirt. " You really mean that. You really don't see the evil woman who did all those horrible things."
" I'm just as suprised as you are . I see a woman aching for redemption and love. You can stop aching now, Azkadellia, you've found it and to both are amazements it's me."
" Say my name again."
" Azkadellia."
" That's the first time you have said my name without a hint of hatred. I like it."
" Get used to it."
