Chapter 10

Vlad Master was the owner of one of the most prestigious companies in the whole of Wisconsin. The DAVL incorporated was at the peak of its social standard, and it was considered an honor to be working with the Masters. The minute the only Master heirs, Dash and Kwan, turned eighteen, they were turned into the business men that were to be handling all the deals of the company. When Vlad found out that his favorite nephew was in love with the daughter of the famous political tycoon, and both were soon planning to get married, well Vlad Masters spared no time to turn this marriage into a business deal, and gifts were exchanged to the lovely couple.

Of course, by watching all this, his own son was seething in anger. Anger not jealousy.

Vlad Masters saw all, and knew all. But a slight misapprehension led a woman belonging to a poor family at his door, who claimed that his children had committed a crime against a young innocent girl. Well that helped Vlad Masters to boil in a pot of his own misplaced aggression. As he held his nephews engagement ring in his palm and watched as his son and nephew fumbled over words and as he saw his own wife glaring at the two of them, well that explained everything, and he didn't waste a time as he turned around and slapped Dash, and he stumbled back and nursed his bruised cheek and ego, as he looked wide-eyed at his father, and clearly missed Kwan coming towards him as he helped him up.

"Tell me!" Vlad spat and his voice echoed in the empty remains of the house, "Tell me, is she telling the truth!" he pointed towards Kitty, who stood where she was, silently and calmly watching the scene unfold. Kwan started his fumbling and mumbling again, while Dash started glaring at Vlad. Vlad came up and seized Kwan with the collar and shook him harshly, "Tell me!" he shouted. And Kwan spilled the beans, "It was an accident!"

And Vlad Masters lost it.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

He saw with a confused look in his eyes of what was happening, for a moment he thought of all this as 'just fun and games', but it had gotten real, and when everything happened, his vision blurred and he fell on the ground unconscious, before he had the time to be called the real culprit.

Danny and Sam had arrived to the house that Jazz had told him about, it wasn't much. A Master Bedroom, a small room, a living room with a kitchen and T.V lounge. A small garden outside the kitchen which already had some vegetables planted, and a tool shed that could most likely be refurbished and turned into a room. And everyone did just that. Everyone came afterwards, Kitty and Johnny, along with Adam came with the trailer that had all their belongings from the last house, and they all met Jazz standing on the front door. After formal greetings, everyone knew that the house would be engaged in a deaf silence if they didn't start refurbishing the house.

Mostly everyone was tense because Sam would ever so often glare at every one of them, be it her brother or her sister-in-law. Her anger didn't deflate, and it was directed at Danny. After the white wash, they started on the task of putting the house together. The trailer was parked outside and Danny and Johnny went out to get the furniture out. But when it came to Sam's suitcases and her drawer and small bed, she ran for the trailer. All of her belongings were heavy, but she didn't let Danny help her, or even touch her belongings. After a few times of asking, and major ignoring on her part, he stopped and stomped inside the house.

If she was acting like he would scorch anything he would touch, then he wasn't going to correct her subconscious.

It was Kitty, who was having a good time. Because after she went to the Master's Manor in Elmer, and after she had a likely meeting with Vladimir Masters himself, and after she saw the huge extravaganza, where Vlad Masters lost hold of everything in him that kept him from tearing the house apart. She was able to cajole them in letting their wallets slip, as they gave her a 500$ note to keep her mouth shut. She had smiled and told them, "Pleasure doing business with you!" and with that she was gone. No one knew of this exchange, and no one would ever know. All the money was kept in the bank, and would be used when needed.

So because of her exhilarating mood, she did what she thought was best, which was wrong in everyone else's dictionary. As she saw that there was only one Master Bedroom, or one bedroom all together. She opted to take measures in her own hand and called out to Danny and Sam, who were cleaning the house, "There's only one bedroom!" no one paid attention, and she took that as a way to continue, "So I wouldn't mind if you two shared a room, I mean both of you are married!" feeling smug that she was the one that caused tension in the house, because Johnny gave her a disbelieving look, and Danny and Sam glared at her.

Danny picked up the rag he was holding and went out through the back door, on which Sam was leaning on, but seemed unfazed by the way both stood on the door frame, both in opposite directions of each other and as Danny spoke, "I'm staying in the shed!" his anger rising, and he knew that if he stayed in her presence for one more second, he would burst. The night in the hotel was enough for him, he didn't want to spend another second with the girl who let out flames for him.

And with that he went in the shed and slammed the door behind him, blocking out the remnants of the flames she had ignited for him.

Jazz saw this scene and sighed angrily, if this was what Katyelyn Manson was going to be doing, then she was going to stop her from saying such a thing, because she walked up to her and seized her by the wrist and tugged her towards the kitchen and closed the door behind her, not wanting Sam to hear them, "What kind of stunt are you pulling at!" all the hostility seeping out of her. Kitty shrugged and looked at her with a new gleam in her eye, "I know Sam more than anyone, and if the girl kept up this kind of behavior, ignoring and glaring at everyone with every single movement, then I know how to make her give in to it!"

Jazz looked at her, disbelieving, how could someone have their brain gears turned and twisted like Kitty's. Jazz shook her head, "I know that you've been with Sam your whole life, But don't forget the fact that it hasn't even been a month since she lived a nightmare, if she's acting like that, then I think that her behavior is justified. And about the part of 'glaring at everyone', then don't forget the fact that her convicts are roaming freely in broad daylight" she sighed and calmed down, "How could you take back the case. You had evidence, everything, then why?" she was confused as to what kind of mentality they had to take back the case and go on as nothing happened.

Kitty's eye brows furrowed, "That is none of your business!" but continued with a smirk dangling from her lips, "But why not ask your brother about all this, huh? He'll give you a broader insight!" and she gallivanted from the kitchen and into the Master bedroom, that was soon to be hers. Leaving Jazz shell-shocked at everything. What did Danny had to do anything, with all this. She slowly made her way to her room, that was connected to the kitchen, a small store sized room, but it was nice. And she sat down on her bed, thinking of what Kitty said, and getting confused in her own train of thoughts.

Night came and dinner was prepared, everyone ate, except Danny and Sam. Both were in their own beds and they stayed away from each other. Sam was sleeping in the bed in the T.V lounge and Danny was sleeping in his bed in the shed, both were sleeping, but that was a figure of speech. Both were gazing at the open, and trying to think how life would pass by, they couldn't keep avoiding each other, sooner or later they'd have to face the reality that was life, and in reality both of them were married. Bile came up Sam's throat as she thought of eternity with him. She'd think of a better way out of this, soon she will.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

Danny had been tossing and turning in his bed, sleep was inevitable, it was a lost cause, so he decided to give up, and he stood from his bed and made his way to the window on the wall next to the door. He placed his elbow on the window sill. They had worked for a whole week on the house, and it never looked better. He was glad that Jazz was staying, because he knew that he would be driven insane if he stayed with a Manson for even an hour, he smiled ruefully as he thought how he had spent a whole day with the roughest of the Manson's. But it helped to see someone with the same last name.

And he had to think of Jazz, because the next moment there was a knock on his door, and he called out for her to come in, and Jazz did just that, she had an uneasy and confused look on her face, one that made him uneasy. Jazz sat down on his bed and stared at the wooden floor for the longest time, until Danny came up and sat on the floor and took a hold of her hands and looked up at her, he spoke softly, "What's wrong, Jazz?" And being blunt with him, always, she looked up at him with her eye brows furrowed and her lips in a thin line...

"What part do you have in all of this?"

He stared at her with wide eyes, then looked around, unsure of how to answer the question, "Jazz, I..." he fumbled and she shouted, "Now, Danny!" her tears were forming at the reality of what happened. He stood up and paced away from her, "I was with them!" he whispered guiltily, and Jazz's eyes widened. Jazz stared at him with her tears rimming the contours of her face and her mouth agape, "You were with them!" it was more of a scared statement than a question. And he whipped his head around and looked at what her sister had thought out of it, he wasn't one of them who raped her.

He knew now, he remembered everything that happen that night, every its and bits came back to him the night he went to Dash's dock house. Tucker was right about everything, he wasn't the one who committed the fault. He knew, she knew, but the whole world didn't!

"No No No, Jazz" he said hurriedly and sat down on the floor again and took her hands but she pushed away harshly, "How could you do this, Danny?!" she shouted and his head fell as his heart staggered with the sorrow, "It's true that I was with them, but I didn't do it. I wasn't with them when they did it!" his vision blurred with the tears as he remembered the night he wanted to forget, how he halted her escapes and doomed her, "But I was the one who caused all this!" his barriers broke and his tears escaped, "I'm the reason she's here, Jazz. I caused all this!" his shoulders shook with the violence of his tears, Jazz sat there with a face that lacked expressions, as Danny sat down beside her and placed his head in her lap, and hoped she would forgive him, "Forgive me, Jazz!" and she made no movements to do or say anything.

"She'll never forgive me, Jazz!" he cried freely on her and she nodded her head absentmindedly, "Your right, Danny, she'll never forgive you!" And both cried their hearts out.

Okay, Short Chapter. But I've gotten over my Writer's Block, and I am proud to say that I have converted 10 people towards the fantasy that is DP, yay. Okay maybe their not fully converted, but I'm, working on it. So people, praise me to the sky. Okay so as you know that this story will be having great lapse of times, I mean, I would be giving flash backs and I would be move from today to next month in a flash of the eye. Because the novel is huge, and the movie is huge, so I'm cutting a lot of stuff.

So show some love, I know that the last chapter was a bit, emotional, for the lack of better words. And a lot of people liked it. Thanks for that.

AJ: Oh and a separate paragraph for one of my favorite viewer, who gets confused a lot :) AJ, A guest person, so he/she asked in the last chapter why Kitty went to Vlad straight, well he was the first person she saw when she came in, so she talked to him. And for your question about my other story ATONEMENT, well it is a DxS story, and it is also a movie, so go check it out.

NOTE; I made Jazz Danny's real sister, check previous chapter s and see if I missed any changes that are to be made.
