double update. hope you enjoy A

"So how is everything going back here?" Turning, Quinn is leaning against the counter. "Things are going well. I'm just cleaning up my mess. As you can see I made a rather large one." He chuckled. Moving towards me, taking the icing bowls and starting to clean them. "So your Uncle came in." "Yeah I noticed you left the room, as soon as he came in. are you afraid of him?" "Me? Kind of. He doesn't scare me, more makes me nervous. I don't know what it is, but he just gives me a weird feeling."

"Yeah he does that to people. Don't take it personally. I will do my best to keep him away from you, at least until you get used to him."

"I'm not sure that will ever happen. But thank you." I finished wiping off the counter and dumped the water down the drain. "Have a look at the cake I did." "Aww yes the cake. Well let's see it then." Showing him, he didn't say anything for a moment, then smiled. "It looks good. You did very well for your first cake." "Thank you. So what are we going to do with it?" When he didn't say anything, I turned to him, he won't even look at me.

"What isn't he telling you? What does he want to do with that cake?"

She started wriggling her way through trying to take over my mind. I don't know if she can do it like this, but the feeling in my head, is telling me she can. My voice changed slightly, as she talked through me. "Quinn what aren't you telling me?" "Why has your voice changed?" "Don't change the subject. Tell me." He sighed, and I can feel the anxiety rising, as he's trying to tell us whatever it is. "Just tell me." "Well my Uncle slipped me a note. He and my Aunt wants you to come to dinner tonight." Now my anxiety is rising. "They want me to come to dinner tonight?" He nodded.

"We can't. You know we can't. Give me back control over my body. Now!"

But she didn't. I know what she wants to do, and before I can stop her, she said. "Yes. I would be delighted to come to dinner." The look on his face, I can't believe we just did that. "I'm glad. Now dinner is at six. So you can go home once we get the last of this cleaned up, and start to get ready." I nodded, and looked at the clock; it's almost four. So I won't have much time.

But I don't want to do this at all. But none the less, she gave me back the control, and went back down to her little pit. "Well we should get going then." I grabbed the last of the icing, and set it in the fridge for later. Once we got everything cleaned up I grabbed my stuff and went to grab the cake but Quinn stopped me. "I'll take it. You go home and I will pick you up about 5:30 for dinner." I nodded. "Thank you. I will see you then." I said good bye to Lisa and left the shop; heading home. But how could this get any better, then with a run in with Cormac. "What are you doing here?"

"You and I still need to talk." "No we don't. I have told you, I want nothing to do with you. Leave me alone!" I pushed past him, and he grabbed hold of my arm, trying to stop me; but I managed to pull free, and started running, and didn't stop until I got to my place, and the door locked behind me. "I can't do this. I have to call it off."

"You can do this. I will help you. But I will not let you back out of this. Now we don't have much time, so get in the shower; then we will figure out what we're wearing."

"You know you keep saying 'we' but this will actually only be me, doing this." I said turning on the hot water, and pulled off my clothes, stuffing them in the dirty laundry.

"We are in this together, you and I my dear. We are one. If you get anxious for any reason, then I will take over, until you can handle it."

Thinking that over; she does have a point. And she's right I can do this, and there is no going back now.

I stepped into the shower and quickly washed, trying to figure out what I have that will work that I can wear. Never staying in one place for very long, you don't keep much in the way of clothes, but I'm sure I can come up with something. Stepping out, Lilith is once again sitting on the back of the toilet. I don't know why she likes to watch me shower, but it gets a little creepy at times. Throwing my long brown hair in a towel I went out, to start going through my clothing. Before I can take a step into my room; there's a knock at my door. Looking at the clock; it's only ten to five so it can't be Quinn yet. Opening the door, Mia is standing there, with a bag in her hand.
