"And since killing us wasn't an option they locked us up instead."
'There were days they didn't give us food or water, and when she came in to the room she blamed us, because it was our fault that she couldn't have dad heart.'
Marika silently listened to the story but Luca knew she was building up her killing intent.
"When Luca and I visited she didn't let us see them but Richard pointed his sword on her and cut her down. He really was pissed off that day."
"He said it was one thing for him not to see them, but she had no right to prevent their uncles from seeing their nephews and niece."
"He even threaten to call on The World of Light and The Green Dragon Clan and The Founding Green Dragon Clan and let them come over and break down his castle until his children were found. And that her marriage to him was nothing more than a pipe dream and her clan should prepare for an all-out war with him and the others and they should pray they would survive."
Luca showed her a picture of the stated the 3 were in when they finally saw them.
Marika's heart broke, no child should be in that kind of state.
'This is all my fault…'
'No it's not, if you didn't change your plans and warned dad and prepare for so long and put as much safety precautions as you could, we would be dead long ago.'
'But still…I'm a bad mother for being away for a year…'
"Sis you of all people know, you can't prevent everything, but you can prepare for what possibly could come, and you planned and thought out every possible thing that could happen a year ahead of time."
"The day you asked me, you knew Richard is a capable husband and father, but still if worst was to come you asked me to get them out, you never thought Richard was incapable of protecting them or become a bad father when you were out, it was that nagging feeling that made you ask for help."
"And that same nagging feeling made you decided to marry Richard in secret, so they could not take Richard away from you the moment they arrived."
"The High Priest really came through and threw it in those ministers face and showed them he was already married and he could not remarry, he could only if your body was found or a year had passed and you still haven't returned."
"You already married him?" Alex looked shocked at his sister.
'Well you know we are already married under the rule of The Founding Green Dragon Clan, but that doesn't hold any weight over there.'
'And it was just a little insurance for me and Richard, to stall them as long as possible.'
'So who wants to see me crash a wedding?'
"I'm in for that!" Rex said out loud.
Marika looked at Rex, 'Have you learned and mastered the final move set?'
"Want to do an assessment match."
Marika's eyes smiled 'Sure but first let me sleep for a few hours, because out of the 12 hours I was down their I only had 3 hours of sleep.'
"Sis what was the time flow between their and The Night World?"
'One hour down there was equals one month up there.'
"Luca picked her up and carried her to her room, since spending 6 months here won't kill you and you have that amount of time before you go crash a wedding you're going to bed and sleep, your switching to much between different time flows and it's bad for you."
"Why don't you guys make sure she will get her sleep. You missed her and I bet she will sleep better having you near her." Alex told the kids.
Khai and the others nodded and went after Luca and Marika.
"Dad now that aunt Marika is back, me and sister will hand over the position as clan head back to her."
"Let's just wait and see what she has to say about that when she is back in to her routine, but don't protest if she thinks you two are worth the position."
'We won't dad, because if she believes in us we know she acknowledge our hard work.'
'And if we hit a wall, we know we can always ask for her advice.'
"Ivy how long do you have until your final awakening?"
'Uhm if I stay here about 3 months, but the moment I go over to The World of Night it will be a month and a half.'
"Alright…I talk to her when she wakes up."
It was late in the morning and Marika and the kids woke up around noon. The four of them were very tired because they were constantly stressing out.
But now that they had reunited the stress and anxiety left their body's and felt safe in each other's presence.
Marika yawned and got up from bed and started to take a shower and put some cloth one.
Marika heard Alex talking to Richard, telling him that she had arrived to pick up the kids but that she was sleeping right now.
"Make sure that after this you and sister take a long vacation together with all the kids."
"It may have been a year for you but for her… she had only 12 hours to work with and I can't even imagine how stressful it must have been for her, let alone the possible panic she must have had when she felt the pressure the moment the clock was ticking near its final hour."
"Last night the kids told her about what happened to them in the palace…I didn't get the sense she is holding you responsible because you reached out to us, but do expect a lecture from her."
"Even if she wants to yell, scream and beat me up for it, I accept it. Because at the end of the day I failed her and our kids in that regard and there is no way around it."
"Richard we don't blame you for that you know that, and how could we, your hands were tied and they black mailed and used the kids to threaten you."
"I don't think my sister will hold it against you if you tell your side of the story, you know she would listen to both sided first before drawing her conclusions, that's what make her a great leader and Queen."
"Have faith in your wife and talk to her, I bet your punishment will not be that severe."
"I hope your right, because I feel I have failed her and my kids."
Marika heard enough and went to the kitchen and started to make lunch for everybody.
Richard and Alex kept talking for a while.
Marika was cooking and was almost done then she was hit with dizziness and she started to collapse.
Khai rushed in because his soul told him to come because there was something wrong with their mother.
Khai arrived in the kitchen and yelled for Luca to come.
Luca had also heard noise and was already on his way.
Alex who was still on call with Richard came in to the kitchen.
Marika was panting, very disorientated and in pain.
Richard recognized the symptoms and told Luca she was having trouble with Khai's soul in her.
"Send Genus over… because we have to monitor her till after your crashed wedding."
Richard nodded and ended the call with Alex.
"Sis I'm well aware of your previous case…"
'I need to go back to Mystic Mountain, I have to return Khai's soul.'
William and Genus arrived and saw Marika.
"Little girl… Your back!"
"But why do you look like your about to die."
Marika smiled 'Don't worry… if I die I'll make sure to comeback and haunt you.'
"And here I thought you would leave me alone…"
'Like hell I would… scaring the crap out of you on daily bases would be my only entertainment.'
Marika and Genus started to laugh.
"It's good your back" and Genus whispered something to Marika.
Marika started to laugh for a few minutes and when she stopped she patted Genus on the shoulder.
'I would have love to see that.'
Genus had an overhaul look on her condition.
"I think its best you take a nap right now."
'But I just woke up and out of bed.'
'I haven't had a bite to eat for 11 hours and 58 minutes when I was down their… you want me to starve?'
"Then eat and go to sleep, you still have enough time before the big party."
'I know…'
Marika then shifted her focus to William.
'William I have a question.'
"And what is that?"
'Are you needed at the castle anytime soon?'
"No I'm free, Canus just relieved me from the protection duty."
Marika laughed again 'It must have been hard on you.'
"Not at all, and the captains and training instructor were guarding him at night."
Marika was starting to feel less dizzy because she got a lot of positive energy from the people around her.
'Well since your free you're going with me to Cruentus after my lunch and nap and a few other matters.'
Genus helped Marika up and she told everybody lunch would be ready soon.
Ivy stayed in the kitchen to help out Marika and keep an eye on her.
During lunch Alex brought up Ivy's final stage.
Marika looked at Ivy 'So how much time do you have?'
'3 months if I stay here and a month and a half the moment I set foot in The World of Night.'
'Well having you with me till that time in The World of Night is not a bad idea.'
And Marika looked at Alex.
"I'm not going to object, I think it's a good thing for her to leave the human world and start to explore the world beyond this one."
'Great!'
'I'll teach her archery in the meantime' Marika teased Alex.
"I don't mind sis…but shouldn't you ask your niece if she wants that? Maybe she wants to learn the way of the scepter just like her brother."
Marika looked at Ivy and thought a scepter also suited her.
'So Ivy tell me what weapon do you want to train in.'
'Can I learn both?'
Alex heard his daughter and spat out his drink and looked at her.
'Why not, but archery takes a lot of strength so by starting with the scepter you can build up your muscles before handling a bow.'
"Ivy I think…"
"Dad…stop being so overprotective of my sister, just let her learn the thing she wants. You always told us that no matter what choice we made in profession you would accept it and support us."
"Or do I need to force my hand on your?"
Marika looked at Rex and stood up and hugged him 'My nephew is showing more and more of my personality, not only as a leader, but also during his assessment match. Last time I felt I was fighting myself.'
'Rex, Ivy, would you both like staying in the your position as substitute clan head?'
'Nothing will change for the two of you, the only thing you need to do is let me know when you hit a wall.'
'Really?'
"But don't you want to check our work from the time you were gone and see if we…"
'Do I have to? I really don't want to review 365 years' worth of report and the likes. It's boring and it will make my head spin.' Marika whined a little.
'Just one question.'
"And what is that?"
'Did you two make any big mistakes that put a big problem on The Founding Green Dragon Clan or The Green Dragon Clan?'
Ivy and Rex looked at each other and couldn't think of any.
"When we were at a loss, we asked dad and Harold for advice."
'Alright then I see no issues to keep you two on your post.'
'But if you really want a review ask William, he is a scholar and he is used to things like that.'
William looked at Marika "Marika, you don't think I'm busy enough? Between protecting Richard I'm also teaching Aves, and now you want me skim through report for potential mistakes and it's not only one year's worth but 365 years' worth of reports."
Marika smiled and nodded.
"Are you insane?"
'No I'm not insane, and why not have Aves help you with that, it is good lesson material.'
William sighed "You really…alright but you take half of the reports and let Richard help you skim through them, you check 183 reports I take the other 182 reports."
'Deal!'
Marika shook Williams hand.
Marika and Rex were done eating and went outside.
Ivy fallowed them because she made a habit on watching her brother train.
Marika and Rex were getting ready.
'Rex with who did you practice when I was away?'
"I practiced mostly by myself, but I did went over to practice with Dante and Kevin from time to time, and even Canus offered to practice with me and even great uncle Derick practiced with me."
'So you are already exposed to different sword styles.'
"But I did have a assessment match with uncle Richard after Dante told me I had mastered the last move set, he thought an opponent of similar strength as yours would be good for me."
'Ohh… so what was your time with him?'
"I clocked at 3 hours with uncle Richard, and with Canus I also clocked at 3 hours."
Marika walked up to Rex and patted his shoulder 'Then I expect you to at least stand against me just as long.'
'Now let's begin.'
"Take it as a real fight."
'And don't hold back.'
Marika and Rex started their match and Ivy carefully observed their moves.
'Compared to the footage aunt Marika looks so much beautiful.'
William walked up to Ivy and patted her head, "She sure does, but I do know of a moment when she shine even more."
"Since you'll be coming with us you'll be able to see what I mean."
Ivy nodded 'I would sure like to see that.'
Marika threw a dagger at William "Don't you dare flirt with my niece, I won't approve."
William saw the dagger incoming and mad a portal and the dagger went through but the other end of the portal was above Marika. She deflect the dagger and blocked Rex incoming attack at the same time.
Marika laughed, 'Seems you have been practicing your magic.'
"Well you're the one who taught me this trick."
'So what Genus told me was true after all."
"What did he tell you?"
'You made a few portals that where connected to either a river or a lake and you placed the other end above that sl*t.'
"Yeh I did, because dirt will only go away if you wash it away."
Marika started to laugh 'So true.'
'Ahh since you were with Richard most of the time, I heard from my brothers he actually cut her down with his sword.'
"A that…he did, and if I'm not mistaking she should still have a few scares on her body because of it."
"Well of course the father of that sl*t exploded at Richard, but he said that if he didn't like the way he discipline his soon to be wife, they could pack up and leave. And he should be careful of his word."
"You are in my country and I am The King here, this is my kingdom and these are my laws and rules so you better obey them or leave, you have no right to speak against me; is what he said."
"Ever since the day you disappeared he turned to his cold behavior and ruthless self. Well we got used to it soon enough, but that only showed us how much of an influence you were on him and his whole kingdom."
"Of course when he announced his engagement to the sl*t the people were outraged, they practically told him they would never support her or this marriage, a few people demanded she could never carry the title of queen and if he really had to marry her that she could only wear the title of a concubine and nothing more."
Marika laughed again 'I bet he smiled and agree to this demand without a problem.'
"He did and of course the father of the sl*t was angry again and demanded she would get the title of queen."
"Richard refused and the ministers who were and still are on your side including His excellency Dantis, Duke Verus, Fortis, Berula and young Duke Livens all agreed the sl*t will never have the title as Queen and should just accept the title of concubine.
'William please tell me you have some of these thing recorded, I really want to see those interaction.'
"Of course I have, we all decided to record all the good thing you have missed out on, including your kids did that."
"Ah before I forget, Luna is a proud mother of 6, Richard went over to support her during giving birth. Although her children are adolescent now we left Luna with a ton of recording stones so she could record their growth so when you returned you wouldn't feel left out and have at least something to look at and don't have to the feeling you missed out on a lot of thing."
Rex was surprised his aunt was able to hold a conversation during her match like it was nothing, he didn't notice any difference in her attacks and defensive movements.
"Aunty do you think I will be able to get to that level where I can have a conversation and still be able to move like you do?"
Marika smiled 'Sure…but Rex what did you call me just now?'
"Oh crap!"
Marika then started to increase he movement speed.
Rex adapted to it and the kept on going.
'So tell me Rex, how are your six foster puppies doing?'
"They are doing great, they can hunt pray just fine and they interacted with the some youngsters from The Light World just fine."
"But Levis need a little more time on becoming a pack leader."
'Ohh why do you say that?'
"Well I'm not an expert but me and Lady Rory think he is sowing a little aggression sometimes."
"Well when it's time to hunt he lead them just fine, but when they are back…"
'The slight aggression is that constant or periodically?'
"It's periodically."
'One more question, Is he showing it to all of them or just one pack member?'
"He seems to be focusing his aggression and dominants the most to Shanna."
'Hum…well I haven't seen them in a while, but by how you described his behavior he is showing signs of becoming in heat. I think we should contact clan head Lucesco, and let him evaluate Livens behavior.'
'But isn't it great, your kids are almost all grown up.'
Marika made her final move on Rex and Claimed the victory.
'Ivy what is his time?'
'4 hours!'
'Seems you really have grown a lot and you can even hold a conversation during the sparring match so to answer your question if you can be at the that level, you are already at that level.'
'There is nothing for me to teach you, but there is only one thing for you left to learn.'
"And what is that Marika?"
'To learn to create your own advanced move's.'
'Now let's go visit Levis, Dux, Zen, Shanna, Luan, Selina.'
Marika, Rex, William and Ivy when up on the mountain behind the main house.
Marika saw the stated of the surrounding of her cave and she looked displeased by it.
'I hope for them they didn't make a mess inside or else…'
Levis had noticed Marika scent and came running out and tried to pounce on her but she evaded him like she did before.
Dux, Zen, Shanna, Luan and Selina also came out but they noticed Marika was sending of an threatening aura at the moment and they knew why she was mad.
The 5 of them laid down and were submissive and didn't dare to move any more.
Levis then tried to pounced at Marika again but Marika grab Levis and pinned him down.
'Your still not ready to be a pack leader Levis.'
Marika let go of Levis and he sat down infront her and bowed to her respectively accepting the fact he still needed some more time and training.
Marika's voice turned cold 'So Levis can you explain why the surrounding of my cave is a mess?'
'I told you guys not to make a mess out of my cave… that includes the outside as well.'
Levis laid down and started to whine a little.
'Levis you better stay put and that includes you as well Dux, Zen, Shanna, Luan and Selina.'
'If you made a mess inside as well you all be prepared to accept the consequence of your action.'
Marika went inside and saw everything was nice and clean, noting got broken or dirty.
'Well at least they know how to keep their sleeping area clean.'
Marika came outside but still looked cold.
'Well since the inside looks clean you are partial forgiven, but you better restore the outside as well, and next time I come here it better be all clean.'
'Now get over here and give me a hug.'
The 6 of them all happily came over to Marika and started to nuzzle her and act a little spoiled.
When Marika was giving Shanna a belly rub Levis started to act up, showing teeth and growl.
Marika told Shanna to ignore him and she continued her cuddling session with her.
"Is she provoking Levis?" Rex asked William.
"She is, and she is doing it on purpose to see what level of aggression he dare to show at her."
Marika then cuddled Luan and Selina and Levis stopped his behavior.
She then cuddled with Dux and Zen but Levis wasn't showing any different behavior. As she was done she called for Shanna one more time and started to cuddle her and again Levis was at it again, but this time Marika wondered how long it would take him for lashing out to her.
Marika hugged Shanna and looked at Levis and knew what was the problem, but asked Rex and Ivy to cuddle with Shanna for a bit.
They did and Marika observed Levis, but it wouldn't take long for him to lash out to them.
Marika pinned him down again and told Rex and Ivy to let go of Shanna because her suspicion got confirmed.
Rex I think it's better to contact Lucesco and repeat what I just did, but if Lucesco confirms my suspicion than it time for Levis to mate with one of the females from The Light world, but as to how to go about this you have to discuss it with him.
"So this periodically aggression is him being in heat?"
Marika nodded 'I think so…while he doesn't dare to lash out to me, he doesn't seem to have a problem to lash out to either you or Ivy.'
'So if you do this make sure somebody who can exert the dominance over him is percent.'
Rex nodded.
Marika waved the 6 wolfs goodbye and promised to come and visit them soon and warned Levis to mind his behavior, train hard and try again when she would visit them again.
The 6 of them howled saying goodbye.
"Say Marika there was one thing that struck me as odd about Levis."
'And what is that?'
"Well normally he is not that acceptable about defeat, but just now he knew when to stop and even bowed to you."
'Ahh well, he know very well he is no match form. I think he is aware that he will never beat me, but that doesn't mean he can't show what he has learned and keeps up training and learning until he earns my acknowledgment of him being a pack leader.'
'But in all honestly, aside from his heat issues I think it won't be long and will grant him his title.'
Marika and the other were back at the main house.
Hugged her brothers 'I call for you when the show is going to start.'
"Alright sis, but let me or Genus know if suffer again."
'Don't worry, I will… luckily I have a week before thing will grow out of hand and the agony will start. This isn't my first time anyway.'
"Stay strong sis and don't destroy Ray's palace in the meantime."
'I won't.'
William opened a portal to Cruentus.
"Uncle Luca, uncle Alex thank you for saving us and taking care of us."
'Cousin Ivy promise to visit us when you are in The World of Night.'
"Cousin Rex let's train when you have time."
The kids hugged them and said there goodbyes to them and left through the portal.
Marika also hugged them and told them she was very grateful for all they had done for them, while she was away.
"See you soon sis."
'Yeh, and I'll make sure to leave some for you so you can vent your anger on the sl*t and her father.'
"Thanks sis, because I plan to give them a piece of my mind." Alex said.
'I'm looking forward to it.'
Marika went through the portal and William fallowed behind her.
"You think sis is going to murder Richard?"
"I don't think so, William told her a lot on what Richard had done up until now."
'She even heard your conversation earlier, so I think she will scold him and or lecture him. But I'm sure she won't blame him.'
"She was ears dropping?"
'No… she just happened to pass by when you were on a call with him.'
"Isn't that the same?"
"No it's not."
Alex and Luca laughed at the reaction of Ivy and Rex.
"Well we have a few months before she will call for us."
"It sure became quiet now that the three of them left."
"Well knowing sister, it sure will be raudy soon because she returned."
"Your right."
[Cruentus]
Marika and her kids arrived at The Blood Castle and were welcomed by Clause and Arthur.
And they looked at Marika "You go to bed right now."
'What kind of welcome is that…'
"You still look tired and you need all the rest you can get because tomorrow it will be and exhausting day for you."
"You promised!"
'Alright, alright…'
'But before that… Can you bring me to the clan head of The Blue Dragon Clan.'
Both Clause and Arthur looked at Marika.
'It won't take long anyway.'
"Alright, you have an hour and then you go to sleep."
'Yes dad…'
Arthur, William and the kids started to laugh.
'Arthur will you bring the kids to my room.'
"Sure."
'Kids will you be alright by yourself for a little while?'
"Yes mom, don't worry."
'Alright.'
"Please fallow me then."
Marika and William arrived at the room and Clause knocked on the door.
"Clan head, I'm sorry to disturb your rest but you have two visitor."
"Enter."
Marika opened the door 'I'm terribly sorry for disturbing your rest but there is somebody I think you should see.'
Marika waved to William to come to the door.
William saw the people in the room and was speechless and so were the people in the room.
Marika told Clause he could leave and took William in to the room and closed the door.
Caligo stood and walked up to William and hugged him.
"William, it's really you."
"Yes dad it's me."
Caligo let go of William and had a good look "You sure have grown a lot."
Marina also walked up and cried out of happiness and hugged him.
'Look at you… you tuned out so handsome, my boy is an adult now.'
"Mom…"
Mira and Gale also ran up to William and started to hug him
"Mira, Gale I'm sorry I disappeared on you two"
'No need to apologize although it was only 3 day's for us it was six years for you.'
"Yeh and because you disappeared you found The Guardian and she saved us all."
William looked at Marika.
'Why don't you catch up, you should have a lot you want to tell them right.'
Marika wanted to leave but she got a hug from him from behind.
"Thank you Yumaria for freeing them and reunite me with them."
Marika smiled and patted Williams head.
'Well you know me, I'm the best when it comes to reuniting parents with their children, and I am also the best when it comes to destroying engagements, and after tomorrow I will have crashing a wedding to add on my track record.'
"William just so you know this, but you don't have to do everything in a hurry, you, your parents and siblings have all the time in the world and you won't be separated like this ever again."
William nodded.
"I better let you go before Clause will start to nag at you."
'Don't stay up to late, because I need my guard in tip top condition tomorrow.
"As you wish Queen Yumaria."
Marika slapped William playfully
'Stop that, we are friend and…'
"Alright Marika."
"Good night."
'Good night Wade.'
[Moon Castle]
Richard was in his study doing some work when there was a knock in the door.
"Who is it?"
"Your Majesty, His Majesty Ray and Her Highness Julia are here to see you."
"You can let them in."
Ray and Julia went inside and Julia went over to Richard and gave him a warm hug.
Richard tensed up by this.
'I have permission from her and she told me to give it to you.'
Richard started to relax again.
"It must have been really hard and stressful for you the past six months."
Canus also arrived and saw Alice storming in to the room and he sighed, he knew she had seen or heard something she didn't like or accept, so he rushed over.
Alice came in to the room and started to yell at Julia.
'How dare you to touch and hug my husband!'
Alice walked over to Julia and wanted to hit her and push her away from Richard. She was stopped by Canus and his sword.
"You better not land a hit on a pregnant women. Or do you want her to miscarriage and create discord between Luan Lumen and Cruentus?"
Julia smirked at Alice 'Oh how frustrated it must be for you that another women can touch your husband but you can't.'
'Well let me tell you something nice, there are only a hand full of women who can and are allowed to touch and hug him. And before Queen Yumaria disappeared she gave me permission.'
Alice started to get even more enraged
Julia turned around and patted Richard head. 'There, there I know you miss her but I think her heart would break if she saw you right now.'
'If you get annoyed by her, why not stay at our place for a few weeks, I'm sure His Excellency would agree you need a break and don't mind you leaving.'
'You can help Ray and teach him the ropes of fatherhood.'
"Alright darling that's enough for today."
Julia pouted a little and Alice now smirked at Julia.
'I think His Majesty Caedis is right, it not good for a woman to show to much affection for another man.'
Ray walked over and gave Richard a hug.
Canus wanted to laugh but kept it in.
"You'll be fine, you have us to fall back on, we will help you when you need it."
"I'm indebted to your father, for sheltering my family so don't be a stranger and hide at my place whenever you need."
"That thing is not allowed to set foot in Cruentus anyway."
Richard calmed down even more and he hugged both Ray and Julia.
"Hum I will."
The both of them smiled at Richard.
"Were are Alec and Clause?" Richard asked them.
"Ever since the war he and Clause have been doing daily patrol at the rift and looking for clues on Queen Yumaria's possible whereabouts, but they will be here tomorrow."
'Queen Yumaria really is a great person, not only did she manage to reunite Alec and Ray, she also managed to change Clause behavior.'
"But to be honest Your Majesty, ever since he heard she disappeared Clause has gotten depressed, Queen Yumaria really like to butt heads with him, and now he misses his head butting buddy."
Richard started to laugh, Canus, Ray and Julia were happy to see Richard laugh like that. It has been a year and he finally laughed whole hardly.
Alice got annoyed while they were talking about Marika.
'Husband I think you should forget…'
Richard aura changed and Julia intervened.
'O… you think he should forget about his soul mate?'
'My dear Alice I may be a vampire but Queen Yumaria told me once, that when a dragon finds their better half they leave their mark on them.'
Julia apologized to Richard in advance and ripped his shirt and showed her the mark Marika had left on him.
'As you can see he is already taken by Queen Yumaria and since the both are marked they are connected to each other till their dying breaths.'
'Richard has her mark and you expect to forget his soul mate just for you? He can't forget her even if he would try because he is marked and their hearts are connected by this mark.
'And if you don't like it we are talking about the past and her… I thinks it's wise for you to leave, because if you will not leave on your own… Canus would you be a dear and take that thing out of this room?'
'The only one who has the capability to remove such a mark is Genus. And I doubt he will do that even if you beg him to do that.'
'Like I said before, you are incompetent, and don't have the support from the people who loved and admired Queen Yumaria, they only acknowledged her to be by His Majesty side.'
'You hold no power as a concubine, nor do the people of this county accept you in any way, shape or form.'
'They only few you as a husband snatcher, a little thief and a dirty sl*t.'
Alice ran out of the room because she couldn't control Julia and was made out as a slut.
