The big city.

Lenora just nodded. She was so glad he was back, she didn't want to let go of his hand, which she was holding now.
~~~~
Ashlyn hung up and sat down on her bed. She looked at the pool of blood on the carpet and quickly stood up, running into the bathroom. She ran the water over her hand, looking at the pink water in the sink.
~~~~
Cora had managed to stop crying by now.

Dust smiled at her. "Is there a way we can help, I can't stand seeing her like this."

~~
Blake glared at his father.

"I'm not going." His father said.

"Go see your daughter!" Blake commaned.

Lenora shook her head.

"Unless we can find a way to help Sable...." Her face lit up a bit, as if she had an idea. It was most likely a dangerous, stupid one as usual, but it was an idea nonetheless. Hymn had said that the goddess enjoyed games, after all....perhaps she'd like to play another one?
~~~~~~
Ashlyn soon took out some bandages and wrapped up her hand before sweeping up the broken glass and throwing it away. She changed out of her robe and into her pajama pants and a long-sleeved pajama top, comibng her wet hair with her fingers. She sat down on her bed. It was almost sundown.

She went back into the bathroom, and came back a few minutes later and began to clean up the blood on her carpet. The last thing she needed was her dad seeing that.
~~~~~~
Cora didn't even look up; she was thinking, and another tear slid down her cheek.

"What are yu thinking about?" He asked.

~~
His father frowned and appered next to Cora.

"Nothing," Lenora lied quickly. She was unable to resist giving him another hug. She had been so convinced that she'd never see him again only a few hours ago, and now here he was, back.
~~~~~
Cora looked up, and when she saw her father she jumped up. Her dress was wrinkled in a few places, but she didn't care. She looked at him and hit him in the arm, hard.

"What were you thinking?!" She demanded, but her anger was choked by tears. Soon she was crying again.

"Really?'' He asked playfully.

~~
"I was thinking, that it's not my right, I didn't help raise yu, I didn't see you grow up."

"Really," Lenora smiled at him as she hugged him, though she was thinking about how to help Sable now.
~~~~~
"So what??" Cora asked. "It wasn't your fault you weren't there. You were an amazing father, better than most. You gave your life to let us live. If anything, I don't deserve you to come," She said. Her voice had lowered, and she smiled sadly at him. "Please don't do this. Please come. Please," she begged him with her eyes, which were watering with tears again.
~~~~~
Ashlyn walked into the kitchen, turning off the TV as she passed it. Her father was out again on the couch. She made herself a bowl of cereal before retreating back into her room.

((Hi I'm just on because I have to let you guys know that I'm not going to be on from thursday to saturday because I'm going down to see my Aunt for thanksgiving, so yeah. lol anyway I have nothing to post but that message and with that said, I must leave for now....bye))

Rose ran down the stairs, Ashley on her heels. Rose saw the wrinkles in the dress and frowned deeply. "Stay here, I'll be back." she said to Ashley. Rose then disappeared and reappeared next to Carlisle, whose face showed relief the instant he saw her.

"Is she okay? Is she coming?" He asked.

"Perhaps not if her father doesn't agree to come." Rose told him bluntly.

"Oh..." Was all he could say.

"Yeah, I thought you should know what's going on, you don't have your phone so I had to pop in." she said.

"Yeah, I left it at the hotel. I didn't think I would need it." He explained

"You thought wrong."

"Sorry for not thinking that my wedding would be put on hold for a demon!" Carlisle snapped.

"Don't be snappy with me! I planned this thing, I am angry too!" Rose shouted.

"Well I'm sorry!" Carlisle shouted back before storming away from her and walking down the beach.

"Stop being a two year old!" Rose yelled at him before she turned to everyone else, "We are having small difficulities and we'll all be here shortly." she said politely and then she disappeared and reappeared next to Ashley, this time holding a steamer in her right hand and a deep frown still across her face.

Meanwhile, Carmen was deciding whether or not to follow Carlisle or stay there, a disapproving look from the minster told her to si still and wait.

Blake appered next to his mom.

"Where's your father?" She asked.

"Hopefully being scolded by Cora, for being a moron." He said, dully.

"Blake!" His mother said. "That's not nice."

"It's the truth." He protested.

Marlys sighed and slapped him on the back of the head. "Behave."

~~
He sighed. "Cora." he said. "I don't-" Then he saw her tears. "Please don't cry. I'll do it. Just don't cry."

~~
Dust hugged her back. "Just promise me that if you ever need to disapper, you let me know first."

"I'm not crying," Cora protested, wiping her tears away. "I forgive you. Is that what you wanted to hear? I forgive you. Please, please, don't do this."
~~~~~~~
"I promise," Lenora mumbled. She was smiling.
~~~~~
Ether was waiting for Ashlyn, sitting at the foot of her bed.

"It's your fault," She whispered. Ashlyn just nodded.

"I know."
~~~~~~
Ava saw Blake, and had to stifle a laugh at seeing him get hit. She was starting to wonder where Cora was.
~~~~~
Elliot was getting worried about Cora.
~~~~~
Hymn sighed, and finally sat down, once she was in the darkest part of the underworld. She couldn't see a thing, couldn't hear a thing. Maybe if she stayed here long enough, she would just disappear.

"Fine. I won't" He said. "I'm sorry, Cora. I wasn't thinking."

~~
Blake looked at Ava.

~~
"Thank you." He said and was about to kiss her.

Then Jade sat up, and Dust pulled away before he could.

"No, you weren't," Cora said. For a moment it seemed as though she really were angry with him. Then she smiled, and hugged him.
~~~~~~
Ava glanced at Blake, then quickly looked away.
~~~~~~
Lenora jumped when Dust was pulled away, her cheeks bright red.

"Umm....hi, Jade. I uhm...well, we---" She stammered, then sighed. "He's back," She said simply.

He couldn't help it he hugged her back.

~~
"Yes, I see." She said dully.

Lenora bit her lip. She couldn't imagine what Jade was going through. Actually, she could. Just what she'd been going through for the past week, when she thought she'd never see Dust again.

"I'll leave you two alone to talk, if you want," She mumbled, and ran downstairs before either of them could say anything. She had to think, had to plan.
~~~~~~
Cora finally pulled back, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand.

"I need to go finish getting ready!" She said, grinning. She had never seemed this happy before. "I have to hurry, or we're going to be late!" Then she flew up the stairs before he could say anything.

Dust frowned. "Are you o-"

"Yes." Her voice was lifeless. She was happy he was back, but she wanted Sable to back too. "I'm tried, an you please leave?"

Dust gave a quick nodd, and left to look for Lenora.

~~
He smiled slightly.

Lenora was outside, leaning against the wall underneath Jade's window. She had her eyes closed, and she was crying.
~~~~~
Cora fixed her hair and the small amount of make up she had mesesd up with her tears, then smoothed out her dress.

Dust cme out and sat next to her. "Lenora, are you okay?"

Lenora quickly looked away.

"I'm fine," She said quietly, but her voice broke as more tears spilled down her cheeks.

Dust frowned, and wraped his arm around her. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" Lenora asked, resting her chin on his shoulder, another tear sipping down her cheek.

"That I can't fix this, I can't make yu stop cring." He said.

Lenors shook her head, pulling back.

"I just---" She stopped, and shook her head. "I don't know. I don't know what's wrong with me."

Dust smiled and kissed her forehead.

Lenora's cheeks turned red, and she hugged him. "I thought I'd never see you again," She mumbled.
