~~~~~ZAN~~~~~
I looked at her.
"No... I thought you wouldn't want them, and if you did you would invite them, so I didn't.... I don't understand...Im guessing you didn't...who did?" I asked her.

[POM]

Liz:

I put back on my dress... I picked up Zans shirt off the floor and gave it to him.. " It think I know.." I muttered. I waited for him to finish getting dressed before I took his hand and headed to the dinning room and saw Mary and Rath sitting there... "Did you invite your Dad to my Wedding?" I asked her. I was pissed!

[madroswellfan]

~~~~~ZAN~~~~~
She lead me to Mary and Rath. What was going on?

~~~~~MARIA~~~~~
"Oh no...You werent meant to find out until tomorrow..."
I look at Liz and she's hyperventalating.
"Liz? What's wrong? I thought youd want them there? I invited them to our wedding and suggested that they come over a week early and stay here the week, so that there here for yours....Liz what's wrong? Don't you want them to come?"

[POM]

Liz:

"No...I didn't want them to come...Why wouldn't you check with me before inviting them..this isn't your wedding...It's mine! I cannot believe this...Shit...they R.S.V.Ped...now what it's too late now..." I said pacing back and forth. I was trembling so bad I could hardly stand up, I almost fell -- that is until Zan caught me.

Rath:

"But Liz there the only family you have now...why wouldn't you want them to be there?" I asked her then took Marys hand in mine..to show my support.

[madroswellfan]

~~~~~ZAN~~~~~
I swiftly grab Liz as she almost falls over. I carefully put my arms around her to hold her steady. I look over at Mary. She looked like she was about to cry. God this was a mess.

~~~~~MARY~~~~~
"Im sorry Liz, I thought you'd want them there! I mean why wouldn't you! What have they done to deserve not having an invite to there nieces wedding?" I asked, fighting back tears. I moved as close to Rath as possible. Liz was scaring me, and I really needed Raths support right now.

[POM]

Liz:

I steadied myself against Zan and proceeded to talk to Mary. Regaining my composure. I didn't want to tell her this but I knew how I had to. "Mary this isn't your fault, you were just trying to do a nice thing...I know that but there are somethings that you just don't know about him--things that I don't want to tell you. These things have been tauting me and following me around for years--and I don't really know how to say this or if you'll believe me really." I looked from Rath, to Mary, and then to Zan who still had his arm around me, and gave me a warm smile.
"Remember I told you that when my Parents died I didn't have anywhere to go right... well, that's not the case. Your parents wanted to take me in as family right--but I refused to go...maninly because of this one things...God I don't know how to say this..." I had tears running down my face at this point..

Rath:

"Say what Liz?" I asked both curiously and worridely I was not prepared for what she was about to say.

Liz:
I took a deep breath and just said it. " Do you remember when we were seven and you Dad called me out of your room to get some ice cream...we'll we didn't get ice cream. Mary, he molested me. and for the next ten years he kept doing that--unitl it got really bad one day...I think he was drunk...and I was visiting your house...and you were wondering why I kept following you around the house all day. I didn't want to be alone afraid he would do something to me. Well at night he came into my room..." I tried to speak but I was crying so bad...that I couldn't really say anything at the time. I stopped for a moment, and took a deep breath and regained myself to finish the story. I could feel Zans hold on me tighter right now. "He forced him self on me...and he raped me. Since that day I've never gone back to your house...and I've never seen him since that night.

Rath:
"oh my god..." I muttered under my breath.

Liz:

I swung both of my arms around Zan and just started to cry as he held me there for a while to calm me down, caressing my hair and and saying little somethings in my ear to get me to ease up...but bringing up all those memories just took me a place that I haven't been in for years. and it was going to take at least an hour for me to get out of that state of mind.

[madroswellfan]

~~~~~ZAN~~~~~
I held her in my arms, my shirt being soaked by her tears. I stol a glance at Maria. She looked like she was about to be sick. "Sweety Im here" I whisper to Liz. I wanted to comfort Mary too....but I knew Rath would do that...and I had to focus on Liz. "Liz? It's ok. We will get this sorted. I'll make sure he's not let in the palace. I'll have someone ring them right away. Don't worry. Im here. No ones ever going to harm you Liz." I said stroking her hair.

~~~~~MARY~~~~~
No.
No.
I...I...
I stumbled away from them.
No. There was no way my father could...he wouldn't....
"It makes sense Mary" a voice in my head answered.
I feel sick. Im gonna throw up.
"Im sorry Liz" I mutter before running out the room. I dash to my room and lock the door. Not even Antarians could come in unless I wanted them to. And right now I needed to be alone. I went into my bathroom and knelt over the toilet. I hurled.
All the time I was just thinking, "No. No. Theres been a mistake." But in my heart I knew there wasn't. When I had brought up everything in my stomach I walked over to the sink. I picked up a cloth and wiped my face. I looked in the mirror, and I saw my dad staring back. "Why." I muttered to the mirror. "Why! Why, why, WHY!" I said screaming. "How could you do this to me! To Liz! You bastard!" I said. I banged my fists against the mirror, causing the mirror to break. Glass went everywhere. I knew I was hurt...but not badly. I limp into my bedroom, slump on the bed and cry.

[POM]

Liz:

I am trembling so bad... I pull away from him slightly..and whisper-- "I just need to lie down... for a while...I'll be fine.." I try to walk off but my knees fail me and I fall to the ground. Zan rushes to my side and takes into his arms and carries me upstairs and into bed.

Rath:

"Mary...are alright...open the door, C'mon now... I'm here for you... Mary..." the door to her room was locked... I then forced myself in. "Mary.. I-- " I stopped in mid sentene. I saw her arms they were bleeding and I ran to her side. "Mary what happened? Hold on...I'll get Zan...St--stay here..." I told her firmly as I ran upstairs to go get him.

[madroswellfan]

~~~~~ZAN~~~~~
"Liz!" I said dashing as she falls. I grab her in my arms. "Liz? Liz!" I said. She seemed to have fainted. I take her in my arms and carry her upstairs. I lay her gently on the bed and sit besides her. "Oh sweety" I mutter.

~~~~~MARY~~~~~
Rath comes in and sees me. He said hes going to get Zan, and to stay here. But I don't want to be healed. I don't deserve it. I wrecked my cousins wedding! And for that matter the Kings wedding! I dash out of my room and head towards Ava's room. No one would find me in there. Ava's out so I dash inside and hide in her bathroom.

[POM]

Liz:

I woke up..and I was in a different room... "Where am I?" I said a loud... I sat up quickly...to see that Zan was sitting besides me. "Zan." I said as I hugged him. "What happened?" I asked.

Rath:

Running to his room, "Zan...come quick..something happened to Mary...I think she broke the mirror and she has cuts all over her arms...and she's losing a lot of blood." I told them frantically.

Liz:

"Oh..no.. Zan we have to do something.." I got up and went to Rath..."We're is she?" I asked.

Rath:

"She was in her room, but she dosen't want to see anyone right now...whos to say where she ran off to now...Zan please heal her..." I pleaded with him.

Liz:

I grabbed Zans hand as we rushed to Marys aid... I ran to her room--she's not here! I walked across the hall and i heard crying from inside Avas Room...I found Zan...and Rath. "I found her.." I motioned them to come with me. I knocked on the door.. "Mary can I come in?" I asked her. " I just want to talk.." I pleaded with her.
