Lucretia smiled, yes that was true. Gabby had never used a curse on her. She looked at her bandaged hand, remembering the curse Dru had thrown.
"Which is why I'm grateful, Gabby, I would say I'm sorry, but thats not good enough, those words mean nothing." she said a small smile on her lips.
"But we can try to make things better." she said, it was her way of apologizing as odd as it sounded.

Gabby understood what Lucretia meant. "I know how words can be empty. How can it be better?" Gabby asked. She was amazed at the change in Lucretia and also pleased.

Lucretia laughed at the innocence in Gabby's words, at least someone could stay pure. The little laugh made her flinch, the pain in her stomach intensified.
"Well it's already better, were able to talk without the use of profanities or wands." she said. Lucretia doubled over in pain, the wound still hurt a bit, although the potions did numb them most of the time.
"Remind me to never shove another dagger in my gut." she joked glaring at the family heirloom.

Gabby smiled at Lucretia's words, although she was almost sure she was slightly mocking her. Gabby started forward as Lucretia was seized with pain. "Are you alright do you need anything?" She started to say anxiously. But Lucretia's next words made her relax slightly. "I don't think you'll need reminding but if you do, I'll be here." Gabby sat down, a thought entering her mind. "Am I right in thinking that both Vannah and Pandora don't know you're here and if they don't how will you explain our new found frie, understanding." Gabby had been about to say friendship, and although it might grow in time, right now, it was still early days.

Lucretia she thought about that, how would she explain it to them.
"Don't worry about that, I'll deal with them I was raised with Pandora and Vannah is a good friend." she said, wondering if she should let them know about her being in hear.
"Make sure know one finds out I'm in hear, so far it's only you and Dru, well to my understanding." she wondered if Dru told anyone, hopefully not.

Gabby nodded, respecting Lucretia's wishes. "Ok, why were you laughing before?" Gabby asked curiously.

Lucretia gave Gabby a small smile, the best she could muster at this point.
"It's because your willing to forgive me, after I was being b**** to you." she said bluntly, Lucretia was expecting Gabby to take advantage of her weakness, but instead sat beside her and acted as if she was visiting a friend.

Gabby smiled at Lucretia's bluntness. "I've learned that anger and the want for revenge can eat away at you from inside. It was my half brother who taught me that. I chose to stay positive and optimistic, and always try and give people a second chance." She shrugged, "Some people call it being naive. Some people say I'm stupid but I don't care what those people think.2 she said firmly.

Lucretia nodded her head, she thought about that, she knew she could never be an optimist, but she didn't want to be a pessimist anymore either.
"Your brother is wise." she said unable to say any more, she was lost deep in her thoughts.
"Yes people tend to say those things, I was one, I remember my first thought on Gwen, I think it was because I was so envious, that she didn't have to suffer the way I did." she said.
"Remember though don't indulge yourself in optimism, it blinds you from reality." she whispered her voice slightly wavering.

"I don't think I'll ever be able to forget about reality. And my brother isn't wise. He's not even really my brother, and he taught me that by giving me a scar. The one you gave me is identical to it which is rather odd. I've told you this before, on the day I fell from my broom." Gabby face clouded over as she was talking, the memories of that dark times threatening to consume her. she shook herself slightly as if to rid herself of them.

Lucretia remembered that day, 'Storm' didn't seem to care, but when she looked back at that day horror of her actions consumed her.
"He may have done those things to you, but his intentions were good, only maybe marred by sadism." she said, it sounded a lot like her in a way, only her intentions at first were selfish, she wanted Chase all to herself, and that backfired.

Gabby shook her head. "I don't understand how his intentions could have been good. He kidnapped me, and somehow gave me this scar." Pulling down her shirt, Gabby revealed both her scars, the slightly fainter, but still visible one her brother had given her when she was eight and her more recent one from Lucretia. The odd thing was that they were the same length and in the same place on either collarbone.
"Freaky huh?" Gabby said with a smile, releasing her top to recover her scars. "I don't remeber what happened that night seven years ago, I think I was made to forget so I wasn't too traumatised. But I remember what Storm did. I won't be able to forget that, it will shape who I am." Gabby said softly, struggling to keep her voice even.
"You made my life hell." Gabby said. She gasped slightly, she hadn't meant to say that, it had slipped out before she knew she had even thought it. She looked down, her cheeks burning and she became very interested in the floor.

Lucretia shook her head when she saw the scar, it was the same, she wondered how that happened, it was an odd coincidence. Gabby's little comment made Lucretia look away.
"Yes I did make your life hell, and I made my own even worse." she muttered, she noticed the blush on Gabby's cheeks.
"There's no reason to be shy, I'm not going to attack you, it should be me hiding my face in shame." she knew that Gabby had let those words slip, but it was alright, it was helthy to say all these things to get it out in the open.
"Keep going, what else did I do to you?" she asked, not sure how Gabby would take it.

Gabby looked up, suprised at how Lucretia had reacted to her words. A puzzled look flashed on her face, her eyes bright. She look Lucretia in the eye. "You humiliated me, you made me feel worthless, you manipulated me, you made me feel like a child." Gabby had started and she wouldn't be stopping soon. "You infuriated me and you made me relive my moments as a child. Ok, so I threw the first punch, but you continued the fight." Gabby said, her voice had a venemous edge and somewhere inside she felt suprised at what she was saying. Gabby drew a breath and shuddered slightly. She turned away from Lucretia, trying to regain Gabby.

Lucretia was satisfied, all those things were true, at least gabby was getting it out, it was better this way, so that later if they tried to be friends it wouldn’t pose as a threat.
“Yes, I did, and that small part of me enjoyed it, but me, I feel wretched, I feel like my only purpose in life is to balance everything out, people like me exist because life cannot be so perfect, I’m not meant to be happy, I’m not meant to do good, but to destroy everything and everyone around me, and I’ve done that.” she muttered looking at the ceiling again.
“I never cried, not until yesterday, and I never knew it could feel so good, I think I might try it more often.” she remembered asking Chase that question, when they were at the Quidditch Pitch, she remembered how he tried to distract her, he was good at that, and she was happy afterward, until they met up in the forest after which sent everything spiraling downwards.
