Hearing Cain's words the girls looked away shyly. They got so caught up talking about him they forgot he was just sitting outside in the rain waiting. Seeing their response it was completely obvious that they forgot about him. Although Cain was upset he was forgotten he was happier they were getting along. Cain walked up to them slowly his anger calming with each step he took. Arriving before them he looked at them as they still averted their gaze not wanting to look him in the eye.
Seeing them not looking at him he felt hurt but still, he was no longer mad. staring down at them he spoke. "Look at me." Jumping at his words they slowly turned to face him as they finally looked at him they didn't see the anger he seemed to have in his gruff voice instead they saw warmth and resolution. Cain seeing their reactions couldn't help smiling. As he gazed at them he suddenly got down on one knee while holding their hands in his and spoke.
"Even though I'm still not over being forgotten in the rain we will deal with that later. I am happy to see you two getting along even at my expense. I am still young and inexperienced. I have absolutely no confidence due to my past and feel that i don't deserve either of you let alone both of you. However i have the conviction to provide the both of you with all I can possibly offer to make you happy and try to change myself for the better. I couldn't imagine the amount of pain I would go through to lose even one of you." As he said the last sentence he was looking at Alice with a hopeful look. "Although i had no control over our bonding I have no regrets I don't think I would want it any other way so I implore you stay with me be my family from this day forward."
As Cain finished he was gripping their hands tightly. Through this they could feel his concern even though he wasn't showing it on his face that held a serious gaze. The girls squeezed his hand in return in reassurance as Alice spoke. "Its ok Cain i will stay with you. All though I still don't know how to feel about all of this I do know I do know I love you and you had no choice in all this. I couldn't imagine my life without you in it either. Besides it might be fun to have a new sister." Alice finished while smiling at Ana.
Cain having heard the response jumped forward hugging them both tightly. "Thank you, both of you." After hugging for a while Alice suddenly pushed him back playfully and said. "Now that all our drama is over I think someone still owes me a date. Ana do you want to come with us?" She asked while looking to her for a answer. However she missed a mischievous glint in Cain's eyes as she look away, but Ana caught it and said. "No, you go ahead and have fun with Cain. We had a at home date last night." She had never seen that look on Cain yet but it made her shiver.
Cain seeing she noticed he had something planned smiled at her and asked faking concern. "Are you sure you don't want to join us this could be a chance for us to bond as a family. Our date last night was only watching a few movies I was going to take Alice shopping as well." This prompted Alice to ask again eager to go shopping with Ana only to be rejected again. "No, I'm fine. I will just stay here and research cooking> I learned this morning even though I'm a Greater Goddess there is still a lot of things I need to learn.
Although saddened that Ana wasn't coming Alice was still excited to start the date. After bidding farewell to Ana Alice started dragging Cain towards the front door not realizing she was digging her own grave as they suddenly disappeared from their location as Cain teleported them elsewhere. As they disappeared Ana sighed in relief feeling she dodged a bullet not realizing this may come back to bite her.
.....
Before Alice even realized what was happening she was standing on top of a mountain. She was absolutely stunned as she looked around the view was absolutely breathtaking. They were standing on the mountain peak with a large cliff face directly in front of them and beyond that was various other mountains overlooking the sea. Looking back at Cain she asked. "Where are we?" Smiling at the sparkling little pixie in front of him he answered turning to look over the cliff. "This is the Sierra Nevada mountain range is Spain. I had always wanted to come here some day I saw photos but they really don't do it justice."
Turning back to Alice he reached out to rub her cheek. As she leaned in to his caress he continued. "As much I love seeing you sparkle I should fix that before we continue our date to far or we would stand out more than we already would." As he rubbed her cheek with his thumb she gradually stopped shining and even started to feel warm to the touch as her cheeks started to flush. She was caught in a daze from his touch as it gradually felt better by the second he awoke from her daze and was shocked by what he said. Alice looked at her hands that were about to shine for the last time as they took on a more rosie color in a daze and asked Cain. "What did you do." As he continued to touch her face he brought her closer and kissed her forehead. "I lifted the curse inflicted upon the origin of your race inflicted by his father to punish him. I will tell you more about it later when we get to your house and talk to the others it would be simpler that way and we still have a date to enjoy." He said while stealing her lips to stop more questions.
