To Disobey a Command---Finished Showing 1,001-1,050 of 1,340

[(S)]

Siki glared at her. "I know." was all she said.

[[deleted user]]

Kia chuckled and went back to staring at the ceiling. She thought it curious that Zen hadn't used any magic to bind her.

[(S)]

Cassandra sat on her bed, trying to figure everything out. Her sister was home, and she wouldnt even tell her about her last four years. She wished Fel was here, he would tell her, she thought.

Kia resisted the urge to scratch at her ring

[Kat]

Zen pat the bird. ((One-time post. Sorry folks))

[(S)]

Siki looked at the door again. She came here for her sister, and answers, and when something always seems to be coming together, it falls apart right before her eyes. She walked out, fustrated and angry, heading toward where they used to practice there combate, so many years ago. Of course it would be nothing compared to what they all knew now, but it was somewhere she could do something. She sat down on a log, she didnt realise she went thourgh the clearing already. She put her elbows on her knees and her hands on her forhead, trying not to think of anything she'd have to tell Cassy, or anyone.

[Kat]

Zen shrugged and walked out. He did a round off into the clearing and began to lunge and duck somersault and other fencing moves.

[(S)]

Siki looked up at him, at least he didnt ask her questions, like Cassy would. She shot an arrow at a tree.

Cassandra sighed, maybe Zen talked to his dad. she thought. She trasported there. "Mr.???" she called.

[Kat]

Zen's dad smiled. "Hello little one."

[(S)]

Cassy smiled too, and walked over to him. "Sir, i dont mean to disturb your peace, but." she hestitated. "Why wont Siki talk to me?" she asked, quietly.

[Kat]

Zen's dad waved away the 'peace' thing. "Well, have you put yourself in her situation? The best way to know, is to try to put yourself in her mind. Often mortals think this is a metaphor, but little one can't you do that?"

[(S)]

Cassy nodded. "I would do that, sir, but i havent seen my sister in 4 years. She wont tell me where she went, or or or what she did. Or even if she found our parents." she said, looking at her hands.

[Kat]

((Okay this is too long to say 'Zens father' so I'm calling him Detuin))

Detuin nodded. "But imagine her. A picture of her, and slowly advance on her until you're next to her hearing her breathing and slip into her thoughts."

[(S)]

((lol okay!))


Cassy closed her eyes, doing what he said. "Shes protecting me..." she said.

[Kat]

Detuin nodded calmly, not wanting to interfear.

[(S)]

"She doesnt feel safe, and doesnt know what to do. She knows that my uncles still alive and that he will proubly come around sooner or later, but i still cantfigure out what shes been doing!" she said opening her eyes.

[Kat]

Detuin nodded. "Well at least it's a start. But I know the look on Zen's eyes. Practice. He headed toward the clearing." He said. "Check there."

[(S)]

Cassy thank him very much. She gave him a plate of cookies she baked the other day, and left for the clearing.

Siki started climbing the tree.

[Kat]

Detuin smiled and bit into a cookie. "Yummy." He said. ((lol))

Zen did a flip and threw a dagger at a tree, knocking off a leaf.

[(S)]

Cassy hurried to the clearing, stepping over Kia, trying to think about why she attacking them. She was almost there, but saw no one.

[Kat]

Zen collected his dagger. He did a flip and ran up a tree, landing back on the ground.

[(S)]

Cassy looked surprised for a second. "Is Siki here?" she asked quietly. Siki looked down at her sister worried face, the orange sunset tinting it. She was so grown up.

[Kat]

Zen nodded. "That whole 'stepping into her shoes' thing worked? Wow is Detuin good at voodoo." He said, calling his dad by his first name.

[(S)]

Cassy looked at him oddly for second. "Your much taller." she said, as Siki appeared behind her. Cassy bumbed into her. "Siki-" she started. Siki knelt down beside her sister. "Cassandra." she said. "Its Cassy." Cassy said folding her arms. "Cassy." Siki started again.

[Kat]

Zen climbed the tree/

[(S)]

Siki looked at Cassy. "I cant tell you now." she said, standing back up. She wouldnt put the pain on her sister yet, she couldnt. Cassy grabbed a knife from sikis belt, throwing at a tree with perfect presition. "I can fight siki, i can do magic, i can win!" she said. "Its not fair!" she said. "Your right, its not." she murrmered looking at the horizon.

[Kat]

Zen shrugged. "Tell her already. She's not a little girl."

[(S)]

Siki looked at him. "Zen..." she said, putting her head down. "Come Cassandra, she said quietly, leading her away from Zen, knowing that he'd be listening though. "Fours years ago, a week before Fel left, you remeber right?" she nodded.

[Kat]

Zen leaped quietly to the tree next to them.

[(S)]

"Our uncle left on a trip to the main kingdom with mom and dad." Siki said, not meeting eye contact with her sister. "And he told us later, that they must stay because of family." she said. "And we understood, because we have family there." Cassy said. Siki nodded, "then i was working with magic and he..." siki trailed off. "He made your spell turn into an enchantment, and gave you a choice, either you or me, and you choose you but then i took that voice thing off years ago." Cassy said quiet rappidly. "Then you left, after Fel." She said. Siki shook her head. "Not with Fel, Cassy, nowhere near him."

[Kat]

Zen nodded

[(S)]

Cassy looked at her sister. "Why?" she asked. Siki didnt say anything. "Why?" Cassy demanded. "Because of you, to protect you, he forced me Cassandra, it was either that or we both die, i was was 12, i could fight okay but i didnt have a choice!" Siki said. Cassy looked at her sister, and hugged her. "What did you do?" she asked quietly. Siki again said nothing. "Siki." Cassy said. Siki didnt reply. "Whatever he wanted." she finally said. "Steal, spy, cheat, m..." she said quietly. Cassy looked at her. "Murder?" she whispered. Siki didnt make anyreactoin. Cassy slapped her, hard. "You! You monster!!" she yelled, and was going to slap her again, but Siki caught her hand. "There dead arnt they!" Cassy yelled. "You killed them! You killed our parents!" she yelled. "No, i didnt Cassandra." Siki said looking her in the eyes, "i wouldnt. He did, i was with you when it happened Cassandra!" Siki said. Cassy was sobbing now, and some tears had rolled down Sikis eyes. Siki let go of her hand, and let Cassy slap her again, before Cassandra ran back to her room, sobbing. Siki sat down, emotionless.

[Kat]

Zen tensed. "Cassy it's not her fault. Anyone would've done the same thing." He said ghostly.

[(S)]

Cassy didnt her she was gone, but Siki looked up at him. "No, its all my fault." she said, buring her head in her hands. "My stupid magic ability." she said.

[Kat]

Zen jumped down and hugged her. "No it's not. It's you bit- I mean, bad uncle's fault."

[(S)]

Siki looked at him, shaking her head. "I should be dead." she said, and got up and walked into the deep forest. ((gtg))

[Kat]

Zen shook his head and picked her up, sling her over his shoulder. "Nope. I have to show you something." He said. ((bye))

[(S)]

If Siki had any enegry left, she would have fought back, but didnt, this was the most emotion she'd allowed herself in years.

[Kat]

Zen walked a while, stopping at a black iron fence.

[(S)]

Siki looked at it, confused, and not caring.

[Kat]

"Those people deserve to be dead." He said. When you first looked, nothing was there but if you looked again there were ghosts.

[(S)]

Siki cringed. She said nothing, and watched then. ((okay now i reakky gtg!))

[Kat]

((bye))
Zen nodded. "It's hell on earth. They can never end. Stuck in eternal drearyness

The falcon followed Zen, squaking every now and then.

Kia felt her ring go back to normal. She sighed and curled up into a ball on her side and closed her eyes.

[(S)]

Siki looked at Zen. "Thanks for showing me where ill go wheni die." she said bitterly, starting to walk back to where she and Cassandra talked.

[[deleted user]]

Kia tried to come to terms with her failure. But for some reason, she didn't blame the mage and his friends. She knew that this day would come. And even if she hated them, she couldn't kill them.

[(S)]

Cassandra sobbed on her bed, her parents were dead, her sister a murderous monster and she hated her. Siki, her role model, the one person she looked up too.

[[deleted user]]

Kia lifted her head, sensing Cass' torment. She puzzled for a moment, then got up. She appeared in Cass' doorway. "Why are you crying?", she whispered, almost afraid of the answer

[(S)]

Cassy looked at her. This girl tried to kill her moments ago, and now she was in her doorway? "Siki's a monster!" she sobbed slamming her head down in her pillow.

[[deleted user]]

Kia tilted her head as she hovered in and out of the room. She didn't want to be here, but she felt empathetic towards the girl. She sighed and sat down on the floor near the bed. "She's not a monster. She loves you, you know that?"
