Please thrash me again, do anything, just stop pumping....I beg you." Melodypleaded On and on Meg pumped until Melody really did think she would burs.... "Getthe stopper ready" Meg called and quickly removed the nozzle pushing alarger blank stopper back in its place, just as water began to trickle outof Melody's bottom.

The store was pretty quiet, and it didn't seem like any of the few shop patrons were remotely aware of what had been going on in the back office. There wasn’t actually anything for James to do at the front of the store at the moment, but that was fine with him. Leaning against the counter, he allowed himself to get lost in his thoughts. "What's wrong with me?" he wondered. The last time he had come close to losing control of his power, he had been able to regain control by focusing on Lilith.. When he wakes, he is going to be devastated that his mother died and he wasn't able to heal her. I just hope he lets us tell him Michelle made a choice, her life or yours. It was all the power she had left, and I just fear he will blame her for not saving her."Between sobs, Sasha replied, "He won't blame her or I don't think he will, especially when I tell him what happened, he will understand. I do think he'll blame himself for not getting there faster, or stopping that bastard before he could. The Irish Celts called me Dagda and worshiped me as father god. The Japanese knew me as Haniyasu-Hiko. The ancient Mayans used to revere me as Hurakon. I've been called Poseidon and Dionysus, Odin and Freyr. I've had so many names, in so many places, and been called on by peoples around the world, but what I am called does not really matter, but only who or what I am. Call me any of those names or one of your own design, as I care not." He smiled gently, ready for her disbelief.Cassiel stared.
