Cain gently lowered DG onto the bed, but as soon as her back hit the bed she felt a sharp pain shoot through her, which made her tense and she broke away from Cain's lips as he leaned his head back and looked into her eyes.

"I'm sorry!" Cain apologised as he started to lean back even further.

This made DG pull back against his neck; she didn't want Cain to stop kissing her; those lips of his had felt so soft against hers. "Where do you think you're going?" She asked while pulling against his neck once more, but Cain held firm.

Cain decided to held firm not allowing her. "I don't want to hurt you," he explained.

DG smiled at the concerned look on Cain's face; even though her back was still hurting she didn't want Cain to stop kissing her. "You could never hurt me."

"Not on purpose, but I don't want you to be in pain, full stop!"

"I'll be fine now; it was just when I first hit the bed."

Cain grinned his usual grin before saying what he was thinking. "I don't believe you. I know you too well; you say your fine, but you always go all tense when you're lying."

DG though to herself how she could get Cain to continue kissing her - She wasn't sure when they would get another chance. Or if they ever would! "Wyatt Cain, if you don't kiss me again in 3 seconds; I swear you will be the one who is tensing next with a shot my magic pulsing through you," she warned him.

"Well, we certainly can't have you using your magic…"

"1…" DG started counting.

"... When you're as weak as you are already."

"2…"

Cain slowly started leaning back down towards her "…I certainly don't want to feel your magic full stop!"

"…3!"(Cain placed his lips back against DG's lips as they both continued kissing)

Cain placed his lips back against DG's lips and they both continued kissing.

" I will have to remember, how demanding you are when you can't get your own way."

"Too right I am!" DG pushed Cain's lips back against hers.

"Happy now!"

DG smiled up at Cain as she removed her hands from around Cain's neck and slowly raised them above her head)

"Very!"

Cain sat back up and continued to look down at DG)

"Are you reckless already?" He asked her, with a disbelieving look.

"Actually, I am!" As if just realising it, now Cain had mentioned it. DG started to think about that and realised this was the first time she had rested properly and on a soft bed too.

"Well, you will have plenty of time to rest while we save the tower," Cain added.

DG hated it when she let thinks overtake the main important things in her life. She knew she should be out there finding out what was happening. DG started to get up.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Well, there's a war to fight, isn't there?"

"Oh, no you don't…"

Cain placed his hand on DG's shoulder as she thought there was no way she was going to sit here while her family and friends were being attacked. DG turned to look into Cain's face; which she now wish she never did; he had that facial expression that there was no room for argument on this. But DG refused to let Cain win this argument, she was going to fight no matter what Cain or her family say. "Don't you dare try and stop me Wyatt Cain! I won't sit around while this place is being attacked."

"I knew it would be a waste of time arguing with you, but I thought with what you have been through; you would calm down a bit."

"If you think a pain in my back is going to stop me, then you don't know me as well you think you do."

"Oh, I know you very well."

DG started to slowly stand up. "Then you know I will fight in this war, no matter what is wrong with me."

DG stood on her feet; it felt a little strange being on her feet, as she just couldn't feel her feet touching the floor, but at least she managed to stand up. "See, what did I say?"

Cain stood up beside her. "I'll tell you what Deeg; if you can walk to the door unaided then I won't say another word about it."

DG was determined to prove to Cain that she could do this. If it was the last thing she ever did, she was going to fight in this war. DG started to walk slowly across the room after a couple of steps she felt herself start to go dizzy and felt herself fell sideways and she felt Cain's arms wrap around her waist and held her against himself.

"What did I say?"

"Get out of my way…" DG started to push against Cain's chest. "… I can do this!" DG looked up into Cain's face and saw he was smiling at her which was really annoying her.

"DG, you don't have to prove anything to me."

Just then, DG heard someone clearing their throat, was made her turn towards that person and saw her father standing there with his arms crossed in front of him.

"Mr. Cain, don't you think it's about time you headed off."

"Yes sir, right away."

"DG, do you want to stay with your sister while this is going on?" Her father asked.

DG started to feel herself tense again and it wasn't because of her back this time, there was one thing her family and her friends had to realise, and that was that she never sat on the back row, she would face everything up front. "I will not sit back while this is going on."

"There is no time for an argument, your mother expects you to join her and your sister." Ahamo quickly turned around. "Now, Mr. Cain!"
