Everyone at Georgio's compound was enjoying a beautiful breakfast together. They all ate and drank while they laughed and talked. Della sat very close to Deena and Cat. She smiled and interacted some, but Joy could tell that her daughter was still not quite herself. She was still so distant and she looked so sad. Her face was smiling, but her eyes just were not.
She was also not eating very well and her face was really flushed. Joy started to suspect that her daughter had something to hide. She watched her look up at Caine like she had really missed him, and then look back down again really fast. It was as though she wanted to go to him, but there was something stopping her.
"Della, would you like some toast?" Her mother asked her nonchalantly. "Sure mom," Della said as she took the plate from Joy and sat it down in front of her on the table. Joy continued to watch Della try to hide the fact that she didn't feel well. Joy started to t
Pearl and Justin were hiding under the hay wagon behind the stables. They thought that they were completely alone, and that was exactly the way they wanted it. Justin had snatched a silk tablecloth and loaded a quick basket of goodies and a bottle of champagne while the two queens were having words at the gala. He figured that if everyone was running away anyhow, that nobody would miss them, so he loaded his bounty up and grabbed Pearl by the wrist. He didn't even give her a chance to ask any questions. Luckily she trusted him and she went along for the adventure. They ran together hand and hand, giggling like a couple of school kids. They came to the stables and looked for the best possible spot and wound up there, under the wagon. They spread their cloth out and got comfortable with their alchohol. It took a while for everything to die down and everyone to leave but they had a great time getting drunk and people watching until then. Pearl
Justin could hear the struggle outside of the cave and he was so scared. He thought he heard some dogs fighting as well but he wasn't about to go and see. Pearl told him to stay there and that's what he was gonna do. It didn't take very long for the noise to die down and it got completely silent. It wasn't too long before dawn, so Justin sat and watched the sun come up over the treetops before he decided to go look for Pearl. He stuck his head out of the cave opening and he squinted his hung over eyes to try to survey the landscape and decide on which way to go. He crawled out of the cave into the sunlight and stretched his body as hard as he could. He tried to focus his eyes but it took a few seconds to get it done. He yelled Pearl's name and then listened for sound. Nothing. He started making his way towards the back of the stables to check under the hay wagon. It seemed probable enough. He muttered to himself as he shuffled his fee
After Mister had let go of Hallie and turned on Pearl, Hallie took the opportunity to run. She ran so hard and so fast that when she finally stopped to look around, she realized that she had no idea of where in the hell she even was. She just knew that she was deep in the forest. Deeper than she had ever been before. She backed herself up to a big tree and she slid down onto her butt. She sat there in the dark trying to listen for any sound at all. She could still hear the wolf and Mister fighting somewhere behind her. She took a deep breath and she started to cry. She could hear the wolf howl and cry out in pain from somewhere in the distance and then there was total silence. Hallie stared into the darkness and tried not to make a sound. She suddenly started to hear the treetops rustle and she could smell the horrible stench of Queen Lacey Losedraws, and her nasty little family all in the air around her. She gagged and covered her mouth an
Della had been worked over at the hospital and settled in for the night by the time that Joy and everyone else had finally caught up to her. Joy rushed down the corridor and went straight for Della's door. The nurse stepped in front of her and motioned Joy to the side for a private conversation. Joy understood what the nurse wanted and she complied. When they were out of earshot of the others, the nurse introduced herself to Joy and explained to her that Della had fainted because she was extremely malnourished, to the point of almost losing her baby. Joy kind of just stood there with a dumb look on her face as the nurse continued to scold her. The nurse finally took a moment to notice Joy's present state and she asked her if she was alright. Joy simply shook her head yes. The nurse said, "good," and then she finished scolding her. When the nurse was finished, she simply walked away and left Joy standing alone in the hallway with the same stupid look on he
Mister woke up naked and covered in blood and sweat. He was laying just off of the back trail in the dead sun and his chest hurt so badly that it was hard for him to breathe. He rolled over and tried to sit up but his head was pounding as well. He felt weak and he was extremely confused. He rubbed his temples and tried to clear his head. He was so hungry and dehydrated that he felt like he was going to puke. It was a good thing that the doctor had sent people looking for him, because he didn't think he was going to make it much longer, when he heard them coming towards him. He was actually kind of pissed off that it had taken them as long as it had. He managed to sit up long enough to half ass throw a stick to get their attention. Lucky for him that was just enough to do the trick. "Over here!" Mister heard one of his men shout back to the others. The rescuers all made their way through the thick brush that was concealing Mister's battered
Della sat quietly and cried for a moment while everyone looked on in utter suspense. "Della, come on!" Joy finally fussed at her daughter as she stood up and took the paper from her. Joy read the results, and with tears in her eyes she happily told Caine that he was going to be a father. Della was four weeks pregnant. She had been taken just a little over two weeks ago, so that meant that she was definitely pregnant already when she had been kidnapped. Everyone was laughing and crying at the same time and hugging one another over and over again. Della took the phone and she cried to Caine. "I'm so sorry," She told him, "I just didn't know what to do. I'm so super happy that this baby is yours but how can I ever be sure that he didn't touch me that night? What if I slept with him while I was pregnant with your child? Oh Caine how can you ever forgive me?" She started to sob uncontrollably again. Deena reached over and snatched th
Becky was so angry inside. She just didn't understand why her life had to be so hard all of the time. She didn't see why her mother had to die or why she was basically hidden away after she had survived. She just couldn't wrap her mind around any of it, especially the part that made her such a dirty little family secret. "Calm down my child," the queen said to her as she stretched her hand out to take Becky's hand in hers. Becky didn't respond to her great grandmother. Instead she roared a painful and hollow cry and she flew against the window as hard as she could in an effort to fly away from the painful scene in front of her, but the windows had all been reinforced somehow to prevent this sort of thing with the genetically altered animals. She hit the window with so much force that it bounced her off of the glass and she flew completely across the lab, and she bounced off of the opposite wall as well. She finally landed on the floor at th
Georgio was getting highly upset at the fact that Joy had just disappeared like that. He was being told not to worry yet, that she does go off on her own at times, but Georgio couldn't help but to be concerned because she had just told them that she was on her way. He just couldn't believe that she would ask them to wait on her to eat and then just not show up at all. Not even a text message or phone call? It just didn't seem right. He excused himself and he stepped out to try to call her phone again. Of course there was no answer, so he hung up and he called his head security man and he instructed him to find out everything he could about Robert and Joy and also to send a small team to him at the hotel, just in case. The man on the phone confirmed his mission and then they hung up. Georgio decided to go back to the hospital and see if he could find her from there. He sent a message to Josh's phone and he hailed a cab from the hotel entrance. He
