Melrose unplugged

[Seer]

<< night gives way to day. secrets are SO much harder to hide in the glaring light of day and as L.A. begins its collective rise to high paced activity , Melrose Place is no exception to the rule.>>

<< Nicolas, who fell asleep with little Tinkerbell keeping him company, would be awakened by Morgan banging on his door and screaming. He'd have to give an answer for WHY there was nother ad in the fashion/entertainment section about her as well as what Tinkerbell was doing in his apartment.>>

Nicolas! get your ass out here RIGHT NOW!

<< Morgan's sharp tone was clear and audible all over the courtyard and she was wearing a donna karan business suit with high heels, clearly dressed for success.>>


<< Sharon was doing laps in the pool while Mike sat pool side, looking on as he engaged in an early morning chat with the mutate. they both grew silent as Morgan's bellowing filled the air.>>

<< Delilah was just returning from a morning run, having become more settled in her new surroundings and finding more time to return to an exercise routine.>>

<< the Zaccharas were up as well. Claudia would find herself hard pressed to leave for her office without being seen by Sharon this morning and with Mike, Delilah AND Morgan in the area, she knew it would not be wise to provoke the mutate.>>

<< what would be even MORE eyebrow raising was that Haleigh was coming out of Blaze's apartment! had she been there all night? and if so...WHY? Morgan was on the war path, and Haleigh WOULDNT be able to escape her wrath this morning either. >>

from apt. 4 to apt. 7

<< the door to apartment four slams shut and down comes Morgan, dressed sharp and sexy in one of her trade mark Donna Karan, tailored business suits. her newly shorter hair bouncing as she moved quickly down the stairs and strutted past the pool, completely ignoring Mike and Sharon but the sparkle in her icy violet eyes said it all. She was PISSED.>>

<< to the other set of stairs, she races up and walks to the door apartment seven and BANGS on the door.>>

NICOLAS! GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!

<< she bellows with such ferocity as she stands, her short , fitted skirt showing off those trademark long, flawless legs supported by four inch black high heels.>>

<< she looked around for a moment, but aside from Mike and Sharon, she didnt see anyone else outside. Delilah was JUST getting into the courtyard and in a few moments, Morgan would be surprised to see Haleigh coming out of BLAZE's apartment at this time of day.>>

<< she banged on the door.>>

I'll BUST IN the door if I have to and you KNOW I can do it. GET OUT HERE NOW!

<< chimes sound off.>>

 

[Rampage]

Nicolas smiled as he heard the banging on the door. He stood quickly, holding Tink and soothing the somewhat startled Siamese. He went into a quick grooming, managing to wash, rinse, dry, groom and dress himself (gotta love TK!!!) in the time it took him to get to the door at a leisurely walk , while keeping the feline dry and content.

As he opened the door, he was dressed in one of Morgan's favorite suits (damned unconscious mind!!), caressing Tink as he greeted the sorceress. He gave her an appreciative look as he spoke.

Good morning Morgan. You look...great.

MP apt. 7

<< Morgan looked in disbelief as she saw TINKERBELL in his arms.>>

<< her fierce facial expression softened for a moment. She knew that Tink despised loud noises and she didnt want to shout with the cat so close.>>

Save it, Nicolas. I don't need your approval on how I look. Do you mind telling me just what you're doing with Tinkerbell?

better yet, just give her to me now.

<< she reached out to gather Tink up in her arms away from Nicolas, cradling her closely for a moment..>>


<< she began to inspect Tinkerbell, checking over her fur and gently touching her tiny body to make sure Nicolas hadn't been handling her roughly. the cat mewed a bit as Morgan cradled her like a baby and for a moment, the soft smile could be seen BRIEFLY on the sorceress as she looked down at the siamese before she looked back up at Nicolas with a stern glare.>>

It seems that she enjoyed herself here. I realize that Tinker may be fond of you, but I don't appreciate you just "borrowing" her without my permission. She's my enchanted familiar, and my special baby....<< realizing she couldnt sound remotely threatening when saying "special baby">> not just some cuddly toy for you to play with...

<< she knew that Tinker would sometimes venture out. traveling through shadows into other people's apt.s back in Illustra or even on Aerie. Tink was, like most cats, still independant and liked to roam but Morgan just KNEW Nicolas was trying to use the cat to get next to HER. >>


and Nicolas...If you don't stop running ads about me in the paper, and I know it's you...I'm going to turn YOU into a pile of old news paper and set you ABLAZE!

I told you before, I do not want your help. I don't want ANYTHING from you.

 

[Arsenal]

Mike was relaxing by the pool, hanging out with Sharon as she did some swimming. Their discourse was light, and it felt good to Mike to feel more than simply tolerated by a member of the Six not named Haleigh or Nicolas. He had the paper beside him as he made small talk.

Oh man! Madonna FINALLY admits that she is divorcing the director guy...you know, Mr. Madonna director person. I knew A-Rod was too much for her to-

Morgan blew past them both, with hellfire and brimstone in her eyes and a fury in her walk that did not allow Mike to appreciate her outfit properly.

Aww, SHIT!!

Mike flipped through the paper, and there it was.. a great photo of Morgan, better than yesterday's,

A nice pic...I hope he survives her gratitude...

 

[Silver Swan]

MP, the courtyard

[ wearing a silver two piece bikini that featured her feminine form, Sharon enjoyed a nice swim in the pool as Mike sat pool side. they talked and as Mike read the paper, Sharon noted the headline about Madonna. She wasnt TERRIBLY surprised...except for maybe that it took THIS long to happen.]

Can ANY man really handle being "Mr. Madonna"?

I wonder if Morgan is going to try to reconnect with Madonna. They were friends before, maybe she can help...

[ speaking of Morgan, she burst out of her apartment and came down the stairs...]

good morning Morgan....

[ the sorceress charged passed them and as Sharon reached the side of the pool where Mike sat and rested her elbows on the ledge, Mike pointed out the ad in the Fashion section.]

oh boy

[ Sharon said as she sighed heavily while Mike appreciated the picture and joked about Nicolas surviving Morgan's gratitude.]

Well, he's got courage that much is clear.

[ Sharon heard everything as Morgan began to speak to Nicolas...]

ohhh and he had Tinkerbell in his apartment lastnight without Morgan's permission. EVERYONE knows that Tink is Morgan's baby.

[ she looked up and watched as Morgan interacted with Nicolas.]

I hope things get better soon...i KNOW how toxic it can be to hold anger in your heart for too long.

 

[Rampage]

Nicolas listened as the scene played out. Morgan shifted from anger to a motherly role with Tink as she took her, then back to fury as she spoke to him.

I'm...sorry, Morgan. I missed her, and so she came by and I gave her some treats and we hung out like old times. I...miss you BOTH. I will be more respectful in the future, but I respectfully request that you not bar her from my home. As for the ads...the week is paid for, the pics set...and the damage done. If you are going to be angry about it, get it all out now. I am sorry you are so insulted...I just liked the pics and I was trying to be nice because I am sorry about everything and I still love you very much, even if you hate me now.

Nicolas stood stoic, hands still in the position they held when Morgan took Tink away...his eyes looking directly into Morgan's.

 

[Arsenal]

I hope things get better soon...i KNOW how toxic it can be to hold anger in your heart for too long.

You're right about that. Morgan would feel better if she stopped converting her love for him and pain about the situation into anger. They need to REALLY talk...even if they stay apart afterwards.

Haleigh didn't sleep all night. Blaze fell asleep in the chair after trying to keep the hybrid calm for hours. Haleigh moved Blaze over to the guest bed so she could be more comfortable, and Haleigh paced back and forth until well after sunrise. When she could stand it no more… she decided to go back to her apartment and find herself some busy work until she got the call back from her doctor. She could hear people moving about out in the courtyard… someone banging fervently on a door down the hall, but the shouting was too muffled for Haleigh to make out who it was. No matter… DNA signature told her it was Morgan, at Nicolas' door. Mike and Sharon were down by the pool. If it had been any normal day, Haleigh might not have been in such a hurry to get out of there… but after the night she'd had… she HAD to do SOMETHING.

"Blaze? [shaking her gently] Blaze, it's Haleigh… I'm going back to my apartment now… I have to go… I can't stay any longer… I need some busy work or something. I'll tell you the news as soon as I find out, okay?"

She said, telling Blaze to take it easy as she let herself out of the apartment… and out into the courtyard. Morgan stood between Haleigh and the stairwell to get down to her apartment… but Morgan hadn't seen her yet, she was busy taking her cat back from Nicolas and scolding him about something.

Over the course of the night, Haleigh had considered whether or not to INVOLVE Nicolas in her current situation, for she didn't even know either way, and it might be too soon to worry him with it… but then she remembered that she could never keep ANYTHING from Nicolas… and after one look from him, he'd know the whole story. Haleigh shook her head as they made eye contact… beseeching him not to say anything right now…. Not with nearly EVERYONE in witness.

She slowly approached Morgan… taking a deep breath. She hoped Morgan WOULDN'T bother her… she wasn't in the mood to deal with it right now…. If Morgan was feeling vengeful, she'd better channel it somewhere ELSE or a frazzled Haleigh might just FLIP OUT on the sorceress.

MP, upper level

....Nicolas....

<< Morgan looked at Nicolas for a moment. Blinking a few times as she stroked Tinkerbell's head. the cat's purring was the only audible soound between them until Morgan turned as the door to apartment 8 opened and saw...>>

HALEIGH?

Here...

<< without thinking, she quickly hands Tinkerbell to Nicolas and turned quickly standing in Haleigh's way.>>

WHAT are you doing in Blaze's apartment?

<< the taller sorceress looks at Haleigh with a predatory glare.>>

She needs her rest. She doesnt need to be bothered by someone like YOU.

and while we're on the subject of bother...i think you need to keep a better handle on your guests. EVERYONE knows about that little dog fight in your apartment between Mike and ZACH. Oh...was Nicolas not supposed to know about that? << pretending to be concerned.>>

OH WELL.


It seems that you just can't get enough can you? RUIN one relationship and then bring another man back to stoke the fire of drama. that's what you do best, isnt it? whatever it takes to satisfy you, no matter WHO you have to hurt or betray. it's just like it always was...

I'll be inspecting your apartment TODAY and if i find any structural damage? You'll be getting the bill promptly.

<< Morgan stood there, glaring at Haleigh, waiting for her to say something...ANYTHING >>

oh and if you think this is as bad as it can get? think again. when i'm done with you? ALL you'll be left with is that proverbial wish...that you'd never been born.

<< Nicolas and Haleigh had no one but themselves to thank for the BITCH being back in full effect.>>

 

[Rampage]

Nicolas looked as Morgan stopped dead in her tracks, seemingly stunned at what he'd said. As she paused, he knew who was opening the door even as it opened. HALEIGH!!!
And as she glanced at him quickly, a rush overcame him: her sickness, her conversation with Blaze, her PREGNANCY TEST?!

Haleigh begged with her eyes for him to not say anything in front of the others even as Morgan started in on her, talking about the fight between Mike and Zach, threatening to fine her if there was any damage to the paratment, and then standing there, daring her to respond. Nicolas looked back and forth to them and sent two frantic thoughts out, the first to Haleigh:

You don't want me to say anything? Then WALK AWAY now. I KNOW you aren't scared of her, that you are angry with her as well, but I need you to be strong enough now to WALK AWAY. PLEASE Haleigh, I am begging you. WALK. AWAY.PLEASE.

The next one went out to Sharon, the strength of his desperation evident enough to penetrate into a coherent thought.

Sharon something is wrong, more than it appears. Please help me keep them apart. I am begging you to trust me, there is much more at stake here than you know. I need your help, Morgan will listen to you. Please be prepared to help me keep them from hurting each other. PLEASE. I am BEGGING you...Be ready to help me keep them from hurting each other.

"Blaze? [shaking her gently] Blaze, it's Haleigh… I'm going back to my apartment now… I have to go… I can't stay any longer… I need some busy work or something. I'll tell you the news as soon as I find out, okay?"

"Huh? Okay, Hales...have a goodnight...or day."

Blaze was half asleep when Haleigh woke her to leave but she appreciated the hybrid's gesture none the less. Her sleepy green eyes fluttered trying to stay open long enough to pay attention. Blaze was exhausted, having stayed up a good portion of the night trying to calm Haleigh down. But even Blaze required sleep, especially after yesterday.

Laying her head back down onto the pillow, Blaze wasn't even coherent that Haleigh had moved her onto the guest bed. Just as she was about to fall back asleep she could hear her sister's voice. And by the sound of her projected volume she wasn't happy! The chronic pounding on Nicolas door caused her to snap her eyes open. Grumbling under her breath she pushed herself out of bed to go investigate. Nicolas' apartment wasn't far from Blaze's.

As she crossed the hallway to the nearby kitchen window she could see Morgan confronting Nicolas just as Haleigh was walking by. Blaze's green eyes went wide, that only spelled one thing, trouble.

Hurrying her pace Blaze walked out of her apartment door wearing the same clothes from the night before, although they were slightly wrinkled from sleep.

"Morgan!"

As she crept closer she could see Morgan grilling Haleigh. Instinctively, Blaze stepped in BETWEEN both Haleigh and Morgan.

WHAT are you doing in Blaze's apartment?

"Morgan, no! Haleigh came to check up on me. She wanted to make sure I was okay. I didn't really wanna be alone so I asked Haleigh to stay the night."

Blaze was facing Morgan while her back was faced towards Haleigh. From the looks of it Morgan was beyond pissed off. Blaze was slightly shorter than Morgan but even still the fire elemental wasn't about to let Morgan sink herself into a more deeper hole because of the hurt and pain she was feeling. But she also wouldn't allow Morgan to harm Haleigh either. So as it was Blaze was stuck in the middle, for now.

 

[Black Widow]

MP -- Courtyard

No such luck. Morgan was in the mood to SPREAD the pain around, and Haleigh was in her sights. Morgan interrogated her about being in Blaze's apartment… like Haleigh had NO RIGHT to check in and see how Blaze was doing… like she no longer had any RIGHT to care. Haleigh grit her teeth, preparing to simply explain why she'd stopped by [leaving out many details, of course]…. But Morgan was on a ROLL and brought up the fight between Mike and Zach like it was something HALEIGH had planned or provoked… when the opposite was true… and then Morgan went on to suggest that it was something Haleigh was trying to hide from Nicolas, AS IF SHE COULD anyways.

As Morgan continued to poke and prod and vilify Haleigh with her monologue… Haleigh clenched her fists tightly at her sides. Blaze swept in, putting herself between Morgan and Haleigh, trying to explain to Morgan so Haleigh wouldn't have to. It was the WORST POSSIBLE time for a confrontation… and Haleigh's anger was building, even as Nicolas mentally pleaded with Haleigh to walk away. Haleigh looked past Morgan at Nicolas… who had his heart in the right place, but still tried to BLACKMAIL Haleigh with the new information.

"No, Nicolas. You do what you HAVE to… but I'm SICK of being bullied around… I'm SICK of being an outcast in my own HOME, among my own FAMILY. And I'm sorry if this hurts you, Nic, but she DESERVES to know. [her gaze shifting to Morgan] So I'm gonna let you in on the ONLY SECRET the people around here seem capable of KEEPING…. I'm gonna tell you a story… because NO ONE ELSE seems to have the decency to do it. [pausing] When we were trying to rescue Alison and Ava from your malfunctioning stepping discs… the first timeline we visited was us, ten years in the future. Your mother was set to be executed for the public murder of Nicolas. She lost her mind and KILLED him… because he raped and murdered YOU. It DESTROYED the family. I… couldn't make sense of any of it, and shut down emotionally, withdrawing from the Six into self-exile. Delilah stood by her values and through herself into her work, and her and Mike were at the highest ranks of the police force that was going to execute your mother. Ava and Alison lived a life in hiding… trying their best to raise the little girl that you and Nicolas had together before everything went terribly wrong. And originally… when we found all this out… I didn't understand WHY Nicolas would just flip out and do something like that… but after SET came… I realized… that he had appeared in that timeline… and things had gone… as bad as they possibly COULD have. Set arrived… Nicolas was under his control and when he tried to take that timeline's Morgan with him… she refused him-- JUST LIKE you were going to do HERE. And he… LOST IT. And THAT Morgan paid the ultimate price. But that's not what happened to us… no… Set found someone to take your place. Someone more… [sigh] manageable. And I did…. What you knew YOU COULDN'T. [pausing] Now I'm not trying to EXCUSE what I did… I know it was terrible.. And I know it hurt you… and I'm sorry for that. But you know WHAT, Morgan? I'm doing just fine living with myself… because I KNOW -- and now YOU know-- that what's going on right now… is not NEARLY as bad as the alternative. They were SHELLS, Morgan. They were SHADOWS of their former selves. They were sad and broken and they spent ten years just going through the motions... like robots, trying to find SOME WAY to explain to a little girl why she doesn’t have a mommy OR a daddy. [taking a deep breath] So you can HATE ME… for the rest of YOUR LIFE. Because AT LEAST YOU HAVE ONE LEFT. And just KNOW, that the way I FEEL about Nicolas… probably saved EVERYONE from the most AWFUL trauma… and the WORST kind of loss."

She never once broke eye contact with Morgan… not to look at Nicolas… or anyone else. She anticipated that Morgan might try to reject what she was hearing…. But Haleigh didn't really CARE if Morgan believed her. There was more than ONE person who was there.

"You don't have to take MY word for it Morgan. You can ask Nicolas… Mike… Delilah… and probably Alison too. Frankly, I'm a little surprised-- and disappointed-- that they DIDN’T tell you how good you REALLY have it. I would have THOUGHT… that after letting you being angry and hurt for a little while… they would have EXPLAINED to you the bigger picture. The TRADE OFF that was made. But I guess that doesn't matter anymore… because NOW you know. And NOW… you get to decide if that was… a satisfactory exchange. My LOYALTY… for your LIFE. Which would you RATHER have?"

 

[MorningStar]

Delilah opened the gate to Melrose Place, pausing to stretch out her back by bending at the waist and touching her toes. She was wearing a pair of black Stella McCartney Adidas sweat pants and a black jog bra, her hair pulled back into a high pony. She looked up to see Sharon in the pool, Mike beside it, and Morgan banging on Nicolas’ door.

She took her earphones out of her ears as she walked cautiously forward, so that she was standing near Sharon. She let out a low whistle.

“Oh boy.”

She gave Sharon and Mike a wave that said, Hey, here we go again…

Delilah wasn’t sure whether to try and break it up or let it run it’s course.

They need to REALLY talk...even if they stay apart afterwards.

She let out a scoffing laugh and gave Mike a look.

“If they stay apart? Nicolas’ll be lucky if she lets him live.”

Her eyes went back to the spectacle unfolding in front of them. And THEN Haleigh came out of Blaze’s apartment and was walking towards Morgan and Nicolas.

“Uh-oh…incoming.”

Delilah resisted the urge to hide her face. This was not going to end well.

And then Haleigh went off like the loose cannon she was, and everything went to hell.

Goddamnit, Haleigh – she’s not going to listen to you NOW. Painting yourself as a martyr is only going to exacerbate things…

And that was when Delilah decided it was time to get Morgan out of there. She did a fast walk over to where her friend stood spitting bullets, and gently put one hand on her arm and the other on her shoulder, trying to guide Morgan away from Nicolas and Haleigh.

“Come on Morgan, time to go – you don’t want to make a scene.”

Like hell she doesn’t.

“Didn’t you tell me you had an important appointment this morning?” Hey, logical guess… “You don’t want to stress yourself out beforehand – you’ll make yourself look haggard.”

Delilah gave Haleigh a pleading look that said, Don’t push this. Haleigh certainly was reverting to her old self, who when angry did the “poor me” thing extremely well. And true or not, Morgan knew Haleigh’s history, and hearing this particular argument while both of them were furious was going to give it about as much weight as Tinkerbell weighed. Suggesting that Morgan should be grateful to Haleigh for sleeping with Nicolas was only going to set Morgan off – well, more than she already was.

She silently prayed that Morgan for once would listen to her and calm down.

 

[Arsenal]

“If they stay apart? Nicolas’ll be lucky if she lets him live.”

Mike looked back at her and chuckled at the remark.

For her to be this angry, she loves the shit out of that man. I'll bet he survives this...

Then Haleigh went the hell off, basically telling Morgan that she somehow took her place, making love to Nicolas rather than having Morgan raped and killed as in the other timeline. Mike listened to this explanation, his eyes wide. He mumbled loud enough for anyone still near the pool to hear.

Damn...Ok, that's bold shit right there. It's about to be REALLY on now. Morgan is not ready for that one...Dee, I retract the bet.

Mike stood slowly, actually unsure for the first time in a while what to do.

 

[Siren]

"But what about you.... how did your... meeting go?"

"...It was...productive."

Sitting up now, Claudia gave Clara's hand a squeeze as she stood from the couch.

"I'm exhausted. I'll see you in the morning."

Giving her a smile, Claudia left the livingroom, grabbing her purse and keys as she made her way down the hall and into her bedroom.


----


Claudia shuffled through her a few files, quickly placing them in order before sticking them in her dark crimson crocodile skin briefcase. Taking one last sip of her coffee before stealing a breakfast pastry their new cook had whipped up earlier that morning, Claudia popped it into her mouth, holding it with her teeth as she picked up her keys and briefcase. Removing the pastry [with a bite taken out of it], Claudia called out to Clara.

"Gotta go, Clar! I'll see you at lunch later!"

Quickly exiting her apartment, as she closed the door behind her, the sudden shouting of two woman caught her attention. Looking across the courtyard she saw Haleigh and Morgan in a screaming match. Raising her eyebrows at how publicly they were fighting, Claudia surpressed a smile as she headed to the staircase, deciding to mind her own buisness. With her briefcase hanging by the crook of her arm, Claudia lowered her large black sunglasses spotting Sharon in the pool. Although the mutate couldn't see her eyes, Claudia bore a huge hole in her head with the massive glare she shot at her.

Finally reaching the main courtyard, Claws walked along the side of the pool, passing Sharon as she headed to the main gates.

"Don't drown, bitch."

She said in an even, "pleasent", tone. Keeping up her pace and not giving Sharon a chance to react or reply back in the way Claudia knew she would if given the chance, the brunette exited the gates of Melrose Place and headed to Affinity Models. Ironically enough, where she would be meeting with Morgan later.

 

[Rampage]

Haleigh took his pleading as blackmail, not understanding that he would not allow anyone to harm her in her physical state, much less if there were any chance...

PREGNANT?! The thought boomed in his head as Haleigh began explaining what they saw, and what it most likely meant as far as Morgan even being ALIVE in this timeline. Nicolas was shocked that she was going there NOW, when they hadnot even spoken yet. As Blaze and Delilah spoke to Morgan to calm her down, Nicolas "spoke" to Haleigh.

I would not blackmail you. But I would hope that if you are...that the possibility would be more important that hitting Morgan with THIS. NOW. Today, when there is one hell of a ball up in the air.

Nicolas was not getting through to Haleigh, and so he put Tink down, ushering her back inside so she would be safe. He was resigned to the probability of spending the next few minutes tearing up shit...

Blaze was preparing herself for some sort of backlash for trying to interfere when Haleigh out of no where starting to spout off at the mouth. Even Blaze couldn't believe the woman was choosing now to confess such a secret the group had hidden from Morgan.

Turning to look Delilah's way who quickly ascertained the situation before taking action here by trying to escort Morgan off the premises to a meeting. A good idea indeed.

Glancing Haleigh's way, Blaze gave her a look as if to say 'are you crazy' before she noticed the other resident, Claudia, exiting from her apartment. That was the 'snake' Alison had warned her of. She looked familiar to the fire elemental but shrugged it off.

Blaze stepped closer to Haleigh, "Have you been drinking again?" She whispered under her breath for Haleigh had tried to confront Morgan the first time while intoxicated.

 

[Silver Swan]

MP- courtyard

[ by now, Delilah was standing near Mike as well as they all watched Morgan scold Nicolas while taking Tinkerbell back. Sharon relayed the conversation via her perfect hearing, leaving out the more personal/emotional nuances of the conversation.]

[ and then, HALEIGH emerged from Blaze's apartment. The shouting began as Claudia SLITHERED her way down the steps and across the courtyard like the well dressed SNAKE that she was , passing the pool on her way to the gates. Sharon HEARD Claudia's little comment. Sharon COULD have physically overtaken her with her speed but was that really necessary? No. Sharon would have more than enough opportunity to ride Claudia out of spite at a later time the same thing Claudia was thinking about Sharon.]

[ the mutate rolled her silver eyes]

stick your crack pipe up your ass, whore!

[ but Claudia would not hear her as she was already through the gate. The others might not be accustomed to hearing her be so vulgar.]

[ Sharon heard the soft, thought call of Nicolas. Where Morgan was concerned, it would be possible that MORE than one person would be needed to restrain her and Haleigh might shock them all by doing something sneaky herself. Better for Sharon to be in the midst of that, being that she was INVULNERABLE to most forms of damage. rather than Blaze or Delilah so that no one would get hurt as she pulled Morgan and Haleigh apart.]

Well, looks like I've just been called to the front stage.

[ She says to Mike as she lifts up out of the pool and swoops through the air to land up on the second level where everyone else was. Delilah and Blaze were already trying to keep Morgan from going ballistic. and Sharon looked at Nicolas]

Does she have NO shame? [ referring to Haleigh.] Is she so ARROGANT to think that she did Morgan a FAVOR by destroying her heart?

[ She HEARD the callous summary that Haleigh gave. Shocking yes, horrifying to consider yes. But Did she REALLY THINK that what she did was somehow EXCUSED by what happened in ANOTHER timeline? Sharon suddenly wondered where SHE was in that terrible timeline. Surely SHE could have helped to save Morgan. Alison, Ava, DELILAH and Sharon could have stopped Nicolas..couldnt they!? Sharon found herself being distracted , perhaps more shocked than she realized by what she'd just heard, but as she heard chimes in the air, she KNEW that Morgan was about to react...BADLY.]

<< Morgan's fists clenched...and she began to SHAKE as Haleigh told her this ....STORY.>>

Nicolas...hurt me! Attack...rape...KILL!? ME!?

<< Morgan's mind started to go into OVERDRIVE with shock...and ANGER.>>

Oh...so you did me a FAVOR?

<< chimes sound off as she looks up, her face enshrouded in shadow as she MOVES Blaze aside without hurting her. and closes in on Haleigh.>>

You...betrayed me...with a man who was destined to MURDER me. You think that you did me a favor by being the back stabbing, opportunistic WHORE you always were?

<< Delilah was next.>>

STAND BACK, DELILAH! I just want to TALK to this little tramp!

<< Morgan wouldnt hurt her friends, but she wouldnt be DENIED either.>>

I don't know WHY i didnt hear about this before. Maybe because everyone else KNEW what I'd do. It would have to be an EXTRAORDINARY circumstance for ME to LET A MAN Get the drop on me and that sounds like what happened in this ...alternate timeline. But whatever the case, It seems that I was wrong all along...

<< looking at Nicolas.>>

ABOUT ALOT OF THINGS!

<< still trembling with RAGE, her hair begins to lift as a wind blows.>>

This slut, and that murderer...that son of a menace...come together courtesy of Set. But the DESIRE was in BOTH of their hearts. He couldnt CREATE it, only MAGNIFY it! and the two of you go right along, finding NEW WAYS to twist the knife in my back AND in my heart.

You wait until NOW to share this story with me...and you think it's going to FIX things, or somehow make you look remotely like something OTHER than the piece of TRASH that you are!?

THINK AGAIN!

<< Sharon was the last one in her path.>>

Sharon, do NOT deny me what is MY RIGHT!

<< she quickly BLOCKS Haleigh's path to Nicolas.>>

NICOLAS can't protect you from ME! He may be the son of Set, but I am the SORCERESS SUPREME of this world. and HE better PRAY that his father or even DOMINIQUE will come for HIM in the next few seconds.

You should have STAYED DEAD Haleigh. But i suppose this is YOUR chance to pay me back isnt it? You've wanted this ALL ALONG havent you?

So...Nicolas was supposed to murder me, and Set used YOU because YOU were more easily controlled...

the question is....WHAT do i do about it NOW?

KILLING THE BOTH OF YOU would be justified...SELF DEFENSE?

but instead...I think I'll do the next best thing. Put you BOTH where you can't hurt ME or anyone ELSE!
