Cousin? Dani? Denise paused to think to herself. She didn't know about any cousins named Danielle, but the resemblance was too uncanny. She wasn't sure what was going on, but she decided it was safest to play along with it. If this little girl was an enemy she didn't want her to feel like she was cornered. But if she were to be honest she didn't feel like a threat and even if she was she knew Danny would be able to handle anything she were. She placed a finger to her chin before lifting it up into the air. [color=ffccff]"Oh, yes! Now, I remember. Your uncle and your dad weren't very close, but he did tell me about his brother having a daughter named Danielle. His family loved their naming schemes. When Catherine came out and surprised us your father wanted to name her Danielle, but I thought it'd be too confusing for you two when everyone started calling you Danny."[/color]

She walked closer to the two and turned to see what they were watching. It was "Elf". She smiled warmly as she turned to Dani. [color=ffccff]"Of course, Dani. You're family and it's Christmas. I'm sure Caty would love to meet you when she gets home."[/color]

Caty unclenched her fist. A clone? Seriously, what the fuck? [color=E137E3]"This can't be happening to me."[/color]

Liz looked at her with a confused expression. [color=99d6ff]"Wow. That's... not really the reaction I thought you'd have."[/color]

[color=E137E3]"Someone created you to torture me. What? We're supposed to fight? I'm supposed to kill you again and prove to whoever did this that I'm the monster they believe I am?"[/color] It took everything in Caty not to just collapse to the floor in that alley and just give up on everything, life included.

Liz approached her slowly and wrapped Caty's hand in hers. [color=99d6ff]"Stop it. I'm not here to fight you. This is a gift for both of us. I'm sorry you went through what you did. I don't blame you for what happened. You tried to save me. You don't have to lose yourself over me anymore. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere ever again."[/color]
