Chapter 37: arguments
Celestes pov***
I looked at my black haired sister worriedly. It's not like her to be so depressed and zoning out every five seconds. "Seira aren't you gonna eat anything?" She snapped back into reality and noticed we were all staring at her. She shook her head, "sorry guys I'm not very hungry tonight." With that she stood and left the dining room. I've noticed Seira had been loosing a lot of weight. If I had to guess she lost about seven pounds. I stared to get up but was stopped buy the blond masked girl. "I'll talk to her Celeste." I narrowed my eyes then nodded.
Seira's pov****
I sighed while looking up into the setting sun. I felt tired and lethargic. It takes a lot to even get up. I felt trapped in a cage with nowhere else to go. I heard the door open and close behind me. Phoenix came and shoot next to me and looked at the sunset with me. I looked down at the railing of the stone balcony.
"It's depressing isn't it?"
I looked at her confused, "what do you mean?" She smiled, "I know how it feels, the sensation of being trapped with nowhere to go. Like being chained up in a dark and desolate place." I furrowed my brows and turned my head slightly. "How-how did you know?" She chuckled, "it's common in our race. When a Dragomir is away from her element they start to feel trapped, like all their freedom was ripped away. I'm guessing it's happening to you since you've been away from the ocean." I looked down and sighed, "does it happen to you?" She nodded, "I'm a shapeshifter and fire is my element." I looked at her amazed, "what animal do you shift into?"
"A Phoenix."
I raised an eyebrow, " I should have guessed, that's your name after all." She laughed, "I know. I miss it you know? The feeling of freedom, the wind blowing through my feathers. I haven't shifted in about a year." I frowned, "then how come you aren't feeling depressed?" She sighed, "because I'm around fire, wether it be a chimney fire or a torch. It calms me to hear it crackling and burning." I nodded understanding. "I just want to go back.. I envy the fish. They swim around in the depths of the ocean freely. Without the worry of having to go on land, without having to hide it like a plaguing secret. Without the worry of having someone after your skin.."
Phoenix looked at me sadly, her eyes filled with sympathy and understanding. "I know it's not the same, but if you'd like I can convince the guys to let you and Celeste down to lake hylia. It's not a salty ocean but it might help." I smiled, excitement coursing through my veins. "You'd do that? Really?" She laughed, "it will be hard but I will." I hugged her happily repeating "thank you" the whole time.
We stood there admiring the bright crescent moon. "What's it like? We're we come from?" She chuckled, "our continent is named sajira. the Royal family lives in the capital named rahayna. The people there are happy and friendly. There's hardly any guards or soldiers in the city since there's rarely any violence. Every year the hold a large festival in the day of the Renè." I blinked, "what's that?"
"It's the day a large and bright solar eclipse happens. Since it's our symbol of power we celebrate it. Hopefully after this whole mess we can go and watch the festival ourselves." I smiled. "It sounds fun." She sighed and then looked at the moon with a glimmer of excitement, "it is, there's traditional dances and the food is great! And then there's the ceremony that's usually performed by the heirs, the principessas. But since you guys went missing the ceremony was performed buy the priestesses."
I sighed and rested my head on my hands. Our culture seems fascinating. If only I could have grown up in it. Hopefully I'll be able to live there after this mess. If I even make it out alive. I closed my eyes, sometimes if I really concentrate and don't focus on my surroundings I can hear the waves crashing against the shore. What am I saying? I can't possibly hear that! I'm in the desert for pete's sake! I sighed and heard someone in. I turned around and saw that Phoenix had left and Celeste laid on my bed staring at me. I sighed and sat next to her. "Hey cel."
"Hey, what's up with you? You haven't been eating recently." I groaned, "nothing cel don't worry about it. I saw her narrow her eyes and laid down. To be honest she looks pretty lethargic to me. "What's wrong with you?"
She groaned, "ugggggh i don't know, I think something I ate made me sick.." I laughed and smirked at her, "probably morning sickness?" She sat up quickly, eyes wide open. "Bitch don't joke around with that! And isn't that only in the morning?" I glared, "why can't I joke with that?" She looked away and smiled innocently.
She did not. "Cel you didn't!"
"Umm... Ummm no?" She laughed nervously" I glared, "I'm so killing that bastard!" Her eyes widened, "no Seira! Don't do that!" I glared at her, "how stupid are you?! Didn't you think that if Roxanne finds out she's coming after you first?! WHAT THE HELL CELESTE?!" She flinched, "don't yell at me! Plus we don't even know yet.."
I frowned, "when do you start your next period?!" She huffed, "you know you don't just ask that! >~<. It's not polite..." I glared, "Celeste... Answer the damn question!"
She squeaked, "the day after tomorrow! Jeeze you are violent tonight! Are you sure you aren't bipolar?!" I glared, you're lucky Anna isn't here. She would have killed dark in a heartbeat!" She sighed. "I know, please don't tell her >~<." "Yes because I can totally call her and be like hey sis how's it going? Fine? Oh nothing I was just calling to let you know that Celeste is probably pregnant! " she flinched and hit me with a pillow. "Don't yell at me ! >_<"
"I swear Celeste if you don't start the day after tomorrow I'm killing both of you!" She huffed, "so violent >~<" damn right I am! "I can't believe you did this!" She laughed, " I think it's funny how you completely disregarded the fact that that happened and you're freaking out about you possibly become an aunt." I was so close to slapping her. Like you have no idea how much I wanted to do that right now. But I'm not risking her loosing the child if she really was pregnant. "Celeste you are sleeping in the same room as me as of today. I don't want to hear excuses or buts! Now go get your things and I want you back here." She looked at me, "what? Why?"
I scowled, "DO YOU REALLY THINK IM GONNA LET YOU SLEEP IN THE SAME ROOM AS HIM AFTER THIS?!" She glared and stood up from the bed, "you didn't have a problem with it before!"
"I THOUGHT YOU HAD COMMON SENSE CELESTE!" Celeste growled and left my room grumbling about how unfair this was. I'll be honest, you have no idea how enraged I was right now.
