In the morning, I stretched my arms and tried to go take a shower. Unfortunately...I quickly fell and felt some pain in my back. Bill was rough last night and it showed..I had numerous bites and scratches on my body and my throat was sore. As I grabbed the bed for leverage...I slowly started to walk towards the end of the bed...which lead me to another dilemma. But before I can decide to let myself fall or grab something else...I heard Bill chuckle behind me.

"Bill..Help me get to the bathroom." I asked.

"If you say the magic word Pinetree." Bill said. I quickly blushed and shallowed my pride.

"Help get to the bathroom...Daddy." I said. Bill quickly picked me up and placed me in the bathtub. As he ran the nice warm water...he quickly started to wash my hair.

"So Pinetree...Do you think that the Cipher Wheel will try to break in here for Journal Number Three?" Bill asked.

"Yep. They didn't have many options to begin with and they foolishly tossed me aside to make themselves stronger. However it seems like the tables have turned for them." I said.

"If they came here....Would you go back to them?" Bill asked.

"No. They made their choice long ago. It would be idiotic to go back to them especially since they tried to kill me." I said.

"That's good. I was getting worried that you would leave me for...them." Bill said.

"I would never leave you Bill. You treated me better than those meatsacks ever did when I was still a human. Besides...even if they wanted to use the wheel...it wouldn't work since ALL of them have to be human." I said. 

"Okay. But how are we going to stop them from getting the journal?" Bill asked.

"We don't. We'll let them take the journal." I said.

"What?" Bill asked.

"We let them take the journal only...it won't be the journal that they're looking for." I said with a smirk.

"Oh Pinetree...You're so smart." Bill said.

"That's what attracted you to me in the first place. And I know what you're going to do Bill and if you touch me again..I will rip your manhood off." I said.

"Come on Pinetree. Just a quicky." Bill begged.

"No. Bill...My entire body is sore and I need to sit near you all day and do paperwork. Most of which is your workload." I said with a glare.

"Fine. But once you're body is better...We'll try what we did last night again." Bill said.

"Sigh...Get me out of here and let's get ready for the day Bill. We can't leave our subjects waiting." I said.

As Bill carried me back to our room..I started to remember the good times that I had with my "family" and "friends". Ugh...I can't believe that I was naive enough to trust them for all of those years especially my own sister.  Well they're dead to me now....

If only I knew that they would be annoying me after they ran away with the "journal".
