Locke made his way up the tower steps, coming up for his shift on guard. He had no idea who he was partnered with tonight but it didn't matter to him. Most people at the Institute he knew and the rest were friendly...ish.
Arya was already at the top of the tower. She had come five minutes early just to be safe. The person whom she was partnered with didn't really matter to her. If she didn't like him, she'd ignore him. Unless of course having him on her side would be useful, or some other reason.
Locke turned onto the Tower glancing around he noticed Arya although he didn't know her name he had seen her before in training. "Hello"
"Hello," she said briefly. "I'm Arya," then she turned to start her shift.
He nodded, "Locke." He traced the tower's window sills looking out at the open forest. He hadn't seen the real world in eleven years.

She didn't know exactly how likely it was that anything would happen but she still liked her shifts here since it gave her time to think.
Locke looked at her, "You're in Seer Army right?"
"Yes, I am, and you're a captain in the Manipulator army right?" Arya asked, not taking her gaze off the forest.
He nodded, "Yup." He wasn't sure what to say
Arya thought she saw someone. "Do you- Nevermind," she started to ask, but then realized that it was a ghost, not a person. She didn't often mix people up with ghosts, but sometimes she ended up doing it by accident.
Locke looked at her, "What do you see?" It was a simple question, but he knew it carried a lot of weight for Seers
"A woman... She's blonde... um... She looks a lot like..." me, but she didn't finish the sentence.(SRRY!!! Had swimming)
((it's all good!))Locke looked around, not expecting to see anyone, "Can you speak with the ghosts or can you only see them?"
"I can also speak with them. Unfortunately some of them never shut up..." Arya sighed.
Locke smiled lopsidedly. "Is she speaking now?"
"I don't think so... She doesn't seem to be, but I'm a bit too far to here her so..." Arya said.
Locke tried to follow her gaze, slightly excited, "Can ghosts....attack us?"
"Not this one... But technically yes," Arya said.
He didn't like the sound of that too much. His ability was based mostly on sight or touch, if he couldn't feel or see something attacking him, how could he defend himself? "What does she want?"
"I think..." Arya hesitated. "I think she;s looking for me."
Locke looked at Arya, eyes glistening in the dark, "Why?"
"She... I think she's my mother," Arya said softly.
His eyes widened, "Speak to her."
For a second Arya was almost tempted to. "I- I can't," she shook her head.
Locke rose an eyebrow, "Why not? This might be your only chance."
"I- I'm on watch," Katrina said the first thing that popped into her head.
Locke rolled his eyes, "So am I. Besides, nothing ever happens."
"What if this is the time something does happen?" Katrina asked.
He looked at her, slightly hurt, "trust me, I can handle it. Go, it's my mother for goodness sake."
Arya glanced at him one last time before going down the steps and walking into the forest. As she walked she was careful to make almost no sound. Then she approached the ghost. "Mom?" she asked quietly, feeling like she was 3 or 4 again. The ghost turned to her, and she felt like she couldn't breath anymore. It really was her mother, she would know that face anywhere since she had spent so many hours staring at photos. The ghost of her mother smiled, "Arya."
Locke kept watch, noticing a strange light but not seeing any threat.
"I was just younger than you when I gave birth to you and your sister," her mother said smiling. "Me and my- my sister?" she stuttered confused. "Oh darling I wish I could have told you... You have a sister. A twin one, just a few hours younger than you," Katrina couldn't speak. "It's a shame she inherited her father's power instead of my own. Then I could have met you both," the ghost sighed. "Promise me you'll find her. Promise me you'll find my little Katrina," her mother pleaded. "I will..." Arya whispered before her mother disappeared. Then she sighed and went back up the watch tower quietly, thinking over what the ghost had said.
Locke looked at her, "How'd it go?"
"I learned three things. My mother was my age when she gave birth, I have the same power as her, and... I have a twin sister named Katrina," she paused before saying the last thing.
Locke's eyes went wide, "Oh my...do you know where she is?"
"Well probably somewhere here... My mom said that she had our father's power.... I just wish she said what that was..." she sighed.
Locke was deep in thought, he knew a Katrina...but it couldn't be, could it? He opened his mouth to speak but stopped himself
"What?" she asked curiously.
"I...I know a Katrina...here." Locke said, looking at her
"She's a Shifter, but she's very shy. I don't know..." Locke said, slightly baffled.
"She's the Shifter army girl captain right? Not even the spirits know how that happened... She's smart though..." Arya thought over it.
Locke nodded, "I see her during Army meetings. She's very bright."
"But shy... I don't see how we could be related... Maybe though... She looks a tad like me..." Arya thought doubtfully.
Locke laughed, "She's a shifter, you never know what they really look like."
"I don't know... I think that she prefers to look like she normally would... She seems like the person. But then again... She does look sort of... Young..." Arya continued to think over the possibilities.
Locke shrugged, "Why not go talk to her?"
"First I need to find her... And before that I have to finish my watch shift," Arya said.
Locke nodded, "I hope she's your sister and that you find your family. Family is so scarce here."
