Willow was saying something but I wasn't paying attention. I had a really good angry stare going on. I love it when that happens.Out of the corner of my eye I saw Eldon put his arm around willows wist and whisper something into her ear. She looked really uncomfortable and gently removed his arm and went over to Chad.I looked away completely from Titania's glare to see if she was Ok. Stupid Eldon broke my stare.

{That's hilarious!}
I fitted my hand into Chad's and pressed myself into him, as far from Eldon as possible. I could see that it hurt him deeply when Chad absentmindedly stroked my hair, as he always did when he was upset. I looked to my right at exactly the right moment - just in time to see Tie do something unbelievable. She did something unforgivable. Something that confirmed she wasn't my cousin, but surely the b!tchiest, sluttiest, most unimaginable piece of crap I'd ever laid eyes on.
She slapped Elaina.

{Shannon's gonna kill us when she reads this!}
I saw Chad stroke Willows hair like he always does when he's upset, next thing I know I was stumbling backward, my cheek red hot. It took my a while to realize what had just happen.I took a steep forward ready to hit her back when Willow stepped in front of me. I thought she was going to try and stop us, but to my surprise she hit Tie before I could, at probably twice the force I would of had.Tie stumbled to the ground and Eldon was at her side immediately. "If you ever do that again Titania"she smiled"People probably wouldn't even be able to recognize you"I smiled as she said that."Thanks"I said as we walked away.

{I know... May the lord have mercy on us}
I hit Titania. Hard. Harder than my automatic reaction. Harder than any of the fist fights I'd ever gotten into. I hit her so hard there was four deep cuts running from her cheek to her jaw, where my knuckles had made contact with her flesh. "If you ever do that again, Titania," I smiled innocently, "People probably wouldn't even be able to recognize you," My voice became so cold it could freeze water as I spoke the last part. We walked away, and i timed the flash of lightning and ear-splitting thunder perfectly, so as we walked we looked like hell-devils. "Are you okay?" I whispered to Laina after Chad was beside us again tenderly examining Laina's cheek.

Chad came over and examined my cheek."I'm fine"I reassured them"Well in comparison anyways"I laughed as I said that, and so did they."Well I guess so...in comparisons"Chad said when he could stop laughing."Do you think she'll tell"I asked nervous about the answer. They looked at each other and then at me. The look on their faces confirmed my fear.

We were all thinking the same thing - If Titania's father knew.... We would all be dead. Well, perhaps my status as his niece would be protection to me of some degree, but for the others... And I knew that Tie would tell. She just wasn't that generous to allow us freedom.

I was really worried.She had connections. She could get rid of us with a snap of her fingers."Do you think"I began"If we go back now and apologize she'll forgive us"I asked hopefully.I could see that Willow was trying to think of what to say."Em Titania's very unpredictable, we could try"She said trying to sound hopeful.

No. No no no a thousand times no. But I needed to inject Elaina with some degree of hope, so instead I said, "Er... Titania's very unpredictable... We could try?" I thought of all the days i'd wasted worrying, wondering, hopelessly hoping that Tie would be kind enough to grant me a leash without choking me with it. Hopeless.

The way she said it made every bit of hope I had disappear.I was getting so worried I could feel myself shaking and I couldn't stop."Are you OK"Willow asked. Worry filled her voice."Em yeah"I said "Just scaring myself"I tried to smile, but my fear was too great to hide.

"Don't worry," Tie wouldn't go to any dangerous extremes, anyway. "It's not the first time I've slapped her, and she got over it." I shrugged as if it was nothing. I was honestly telling the truth: I had slapped Titania many times before, just never quite to that extent.

I laughed at that, but the fear didn't go away.I studied Willow. I could sense that she felt the same. She turned to me and caught me studying her."Its going to be OK"She reassured me. Somehow I wasn't as confident as she appeared to be.

"It's going to be okay," I smiled reassuringly, but she didn't seem convinced. I sighed, "Look, my Ma' would give Tie hell if she told. And trust me, if Ties dad and my Ma' get fussing, my Ma' would win," I smirked, knowing that was one hundred per cent true.

I laughed at that. I was feeling less anxious now, but the feeling was still there, amongst others."I wish I had someone like that to stand up for me"I mumbled, hoping she wouldn't notice that I said anything. From the look on her face I knew that that wasn't going to happen.

I realized - a moment too late - that Elaina had lost her mother. I was a moment too late because I had already spoken the fatal words, "What do you mean?" There was no hope that she hadn't heard me. She seemed to have been gashed by my words, and was bleeding pain. I hugged her and whispered, "Don't answer that."

She hugged me when she realized what she had said"Don't answer that"She whispered to me arms still around me. I was getting uncomfortable."It's OK"I said as I shrugged her off "It's easy to forget...just like me"I murmured when i finally got her off me.
