Chapter 5: I can love who I want
"What did you just say?!" James yelled at me.
"Harp's not the bad guy here!" I yelled again.
"Oh yeah?! Then why'd he take you?! Well?!" James yelled back.
"Because he's witch of a mother and evil brother told him to!" I yelled.
"Oh I see," James said with a growl.
"You see what?!" I yelled. Harp set me on down my feet.
"You love him don't you?" James asked.
"So what if I do?!" I yelled.
James growled again.
"James! Cecilia! Please stop!" Janet yelled in a tone of voice that made her sound like she was begging.
"No way Janet! James is always acting like he's my brother or my keeper or something! I'm sick of it! I'm 19 years old for gosh sakes! I'm an adult!"
"Oh yeah?!" James yelled.
"Yeah! And for your information, I can love who I want!" I screamed. James, Janet and Harp stared as I began to glow. I took a deep breath. The glow vanished.
I turned away from them and said, "Started today I choose who I love and who I travel with."
"But... Cecilia..." Janet said.
"Harp. Come on. We're leaving," I said coldly.
"But Cecilia?!" Janet cried.
"You too Janet," I said.
"I take it I'm to stay behind?" James asked.
"Go to hell James! I don't ever want to see you again!" I screamed.
"Fine!" James said storming off.
Suddenly I felt weird and weak. "Hey? Wh-what's happening? I..." I collapsed before finishing my sentence.
James rushed back. Harp, Janet and James looked around.
"We're back," Queen Harpy sang.
"N-no! H-help me!" I screamed as Harry, Harp's big brother, grabbed me and stuck a needle into my arm.
"Ouch!!" I screamed.
Harry laughed.
"What the heck did... did... you... do?" I stammered before slowly passing out.
"What did you do to her Harry?!" Harp yelled.
"Oh my dear little worthless brother. Can you not see it? She's the girl of prophecy," Harry said.
Harp growled.
"Let! Her!! GO!!!" Harp yelled and tackled his brother. Harry, shocked at Harp's actions, dropped me.
"James! Janet! Grab Cecilia and run!!" Harp yelled over his shoulder as he punched his brother in the face.
"But Harp?! What about you?" Janet yelled placing me onto her back.
"I'll be fine! Go!" He yelled.
"But..." James started.
"GO!!" He yelled.
"Be safe!" Janet yelled placing me on her back. James in his werewolf form took off as fast as he possibly could. Janet took off at lightning speed.
"I will!" Harp yelled.
"You're going to die for what you've done!" Harry screamed.
Suddenly, there was a huge bang and when the dust cleared, stood my big brother. Janet and James had used their own bodies as a shield to protected me from the debris. They both crawled out of the debris with me.
"Vex! Over here!" Janet yelled. Janet waved at Vex. Vex shot over to us. I began to wake up.
"Cecilia!" Vex yelled as he grabbed and pulled me into a big bear hug.
"Brother?!" I cried.
"Cecilia, why the heck did you leave home?!" Vex yelled. He sounded more hurt than mad.
"I'm sorry. I wanted to turn you Human again. I wanted to help," I said.
"Oh Cecilia. I'm glad you're okay," Vex said hugging me again.
"Thanks big brother. I almost found the witch. We were almost there when... Wait! Where's Harp?!" I cried.
"I'm over here," Harp said. He pulled himself out of the rubble nearby. On wobbly feet, I walked over to Harp and fell into his out stretched arms.
"Harp! You're okay! I was so scared I lost you!" I wailed.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you," Harp said.
"Who are theses?!" Vex growled. He pointed to James and Harp. At that moment, I realized just how protective my brother really was of me. That made me smile.
