[a few hours hv passed until it was finally nightfall]
Brad: [kept himself occupied by whittling wen the door finally opened] Ugh, finally!
Wander: (jerked upward from his nap) ?
Grimm: [showed up with a lantern, whispered] Shhh... Keep it dwn. Let's go while the palace is quiet
Wander: (nod) (follows Grimm with Brad)
Brad: [dusted himself n followed the Skeletor Lord]
[Meanwhile, in the cold tower...]
Hater: [was sobbing in Terry's arms] Wat am I gonna do...? Wat am I going to tell Wander wen he finds out abt this...? I... I can't... ;(
Terry: (rubbing his back) I'm sure he'll understand...I'm sure he will... :(
Hater: No, he won't. He's gonna think I betrayed him, that I cheated on him... Oh gob... ;( I don't know if I want to go thru with this...
Terry: (rocking him, hushing softly)
[the sound of a gentle door knock]
Grimm: It's me. I'm coming in [unlocks the door n opens it]
Terry: ?
Grimm: [pokes his head in] Hey, look who I've brought [opens the door wider to reveal Wander n Brad]
Hater: :O W-Wander...?
Wander: Hatey... :) (noticed Terry)
Terry: (got up) Oh...you must be his-
Wander: (suddenly leapt forcefully at Terry) RAHH! (angry)
Hater: :O W-Wander, no!!
Brad: Woah, furball! Calm dwn! :O
Grimm: Wat the-- Get off my fiance!! [flared his powers n charged at Wander]
Wander: (blocked off Grimm's attack, glaring at Terry) You DID something to my Hatey, didn't you?? DIDN'T YOU??
Terry: (worry) Y-y-yes, but I was forced, honest!
Wander: CUT THE BULLSHIT!! (prepared to punch)
Hater: [rushes in to hold Wander bk] Pls, pls no, he's not all to blame! Pls! I let him do it, or he n his family will be killed!
Brad: Would u guys keep it dwn before u bring the calvary here? [closed the door, hopefully blocking out the noisy racket]
Wander: (looked at Hater then at Terry)
Terry: (hugged by Grimm) I'm...I'm okay, Grimmy... really... ;(
Wander: (glanced at Hater to double make sure with him)
Hater: It's true, reli. It's not his fault, not entirely... I... Hurk! [covered his mouth to hold bk his nausea]
Grimm: I'm sorry. I should've warned u abt this... [tells him everything that Fury had made Terry n Hater do] ...as u can see, I may the new Lord of Planet Skeletor, bt my dad still reigns supreme as my advisor. I'm still learning the ropes n he's taking advantage of it. There r ppl who r loyal to him out of fear n there is nothing I can do... I'm so sorry...
Brad: Geez, wats the point of letting u become the ruler if he's not prepared to let the power go?
Wander: (rubbing Hater's back) ... Is there any way to take him down at least?
Grimm: Anything short of a rebellion? I don't think so. A lot of ppl hate him, bt they fear him more. N seeing me under his thumb makes it even worse. I wish I didn't hv to do this. I wish I was able to hv my brother return with open arms. I hv nothing against Hater, bt my dad... He hates Hater with a passion n he's taking it out on everyone, abusing his power... He's the reason my mother... My mother killed herself...
Hater: Wait... Mom is dead...?
Grimm: Abt a yr after Dad sold u. As much as she was embarrassed by ur condition, she still loves u, n she blames herself for allowing Dad to sell u off. The guilt was too much; she hung herself at the palace foyer... Dad blames u for her death n hated u even more since then...
Wander: :O No...
Brad: Oh zob... [felt bad for them]
Hater: [felt sick all over again n ran to the window, puking out hard] (puke)
Wander: :( Hatey...
Brad: [rubbed his bk as he puked, this scene seemed familiar] Umm... Is he...?
Grimm: [looked away, reluctant to admit it as he held Terry close]
Terry: ...Yes, he is... :(
Hater: [finished puking, coughing out the last bile, then sank to his knees n sobbed] ;(
Wander: ;( H-Hatey... (hugged him close)
Hater: I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I... I didn't...
Brad: How the heck...? I thought u were on birth control?
Grimm: [told them abt Terry able to bypass it] ...so u see, my dad knew wat Terry could do. He had already calculated tht. He had it all planned. He's always one step ahead of everything
Wander: (continued to hold Hater, comforting him) :(
Brad: [whispered to Grimm n Terry] I think we better give them some time alone, guys
Grimm: Of course, let's go to the room next door
Terry: Mhm... (left with Brad and Grimm)
