DG opened her eyes and yawned. " That was a lovely dream. It felt so real though. He tasted salty."

" I sure hope your talking about me ,Princess." came a male voice.

DG shot straight up. " Mr. Cain?!" She saw him sitting in a chair nearby. DG looked down at her outfit. She was wearing the same gown she had on the previous night.

" You passed out after we kissed. You tasted like wine. They figured you had to much too drink."

" You don't sound convinced ?"

" I'm not. You weren't drunk. I never - we never would have. I don't kiss women for the first time if their drunk. I don't know what happened but I wasn't about to leave your side."

DG smiled. " Thank you ,Mr. Cain.

" He walked over to her and sat on the edge of her bed. " I don't know what or where this thing between us is going yet but I know I want you to start calling me Wyatt."

As if her smile couldn't get any bigger ,it did. " Wyatt. " She leaned in and gently kissed his lips. His face saddened. " What's wrong?"

" I asked the Queen to let me explain the destiny of the 'Corpse Bride'."

" I don't turn blue do I?"

"What?! No."

"Sorry ,Johnny Depp movie. Worth a shot."

"Who's Johnny Depp."

"Well if he were single ,your competition." she joked.

" Sweetheart. It's not good news."

" I want you tell me anyway."

" A thousand years ago there lived a King , a warlock who practiced black magic. He had a bride Elphaba. She was murdered ."

" I feel bad for him. I mean he's evil but still it's sad."

" The Original Dorothy killed her. The warlock vowed that the Gale lineage would pay. He came up with several curses and prophecies. The Eclipse was one of his prophecies. He foresaw two sisters being born. One of Light.One of Dark. He made a curse ,prophecy depends on who you believe. ' The one who heard the witches cry , the one who died ,will be the Corpse Bride.' "

" I was the one who heard the witch's cry and died not Az. I'm the Dark and this Bride. What's a Corpse Bride though?"

" The Corpse Bride is the reincarnation of Elphaba. We all thought your sister was possessed with her spirit but it seems she was possessed with Nessa Rose ,Elphaba's sister."

" So I'm this Elphaba."

" No." Cain said matter of factly. " I don't believe it and neither should you."

" Ca - Wyatt, I know you don't want to believe it but it's a strong possibilty. Gosh how can you still wanna be near me knowing this."

He kissed her tenderly. " Your not her,your DG . Your my princess." He hugged her tightly.

" Are you trying to convince me of this or you? Let's say I am her ,what then Wyatt ? What'll happen to us? "

" Your n -"

" Please at least accept the possibilty. Would you still want me ?" Her eyes begged for acceptance. Tears danced in them. " If I became evil would you follow me or destroy me ?"

" I... I .."

" Kill me if I do or have Jeb kill me ." Tears fell down her cheeks. " I couldn't live with myself if I even thought you'd follow me to hell. " By now she was choking back tears.

His hands wiped away her tears. " If you die he wins. He needs you dead to fufill the curse. Only then will Elphaba truly return. No matter what happens ,you must live. You must thrive. " His hands caressed her hair and his kisses tried to stop her tears. " I'd die for you before I'd let him touch you because I'd die if you died."

Before she could speak his lips covered her lips. His kisses turned from gentle to primal. Her arms reached around his neck and his arms reached around her bare back. He moaned as his rough hands touch her silky skin. In that moment they weren't Cain and DG but a man and woman clinging to each other to survive.
