If you weren't hiding from the world, David, you'd realize that."David stopped and considered that. Finally he responded.' "OK, you've got an excellen... point. The next time I see her I'll try to talk to her again." No you won't," Ellen insisted. "When you take Alice back, you'll make a date to meet at a neutral group so you can talk about parenting your daughter. You'll meet, without Alice there, and you'll talk like two adults about what each of you needs to do for your daughter."David. Ardala stood savouring the moment. She looked at her child a replica of her. A child that once was Buck's and Wilma's but no more. She laughed at the way she had dressed her child today. A black mini dress, with black fishnet stockings and of course wicked spiked 12-inch heels.12 was to be her number, for her nails were 12 inches also and naturally painted red. She ordered another coat to be added.After about an hour the guards jumped startled by a scream from Ardala. Missy didn't even. I understand now that we are not playing a game. I am suddenly tremendously afraid. I also feel, am instantly ashamed by, the growing hardness under my gown."I told you it would be a day of firsts, didn't I JoAnna?" Her hand traces a path down my cheek and across my chest. "Today is the first time I've been unfaithful to you." Now her hand is sliding up under my skirt, across the bare flesh above the top of my stocking. "Yes. While you were in the basement I was being fucked by another man in. That one Magician was so pissed that he will demand something. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d try to catch some of your people. I’d suggest you be careful when you leave this valley, for whatever reason.”“Why do you feel like that, Stian?”Yes, why indeed? I had been almost a year with a group of Guardians and during that time I had never gotten a feeling like I had a bit more than a day ago.“I don’t really know. Somehow, that group of the Guardians I saw there reminded me more of something.
