I looked to her in the quite possible most lost way possible. Lost? Mostly because her being 16, and always will be, still effected her mind. Oh her childish mind, one that loved to think the best and positive outcome and reasoning for all situations, this always either brought me laughter or a smile that was impossible to hide.

And I was right, I closed my lips trying not to smile but it happened anyways, a closed lip smile was one I could not keep hidden so I looked away I held back my laughter and regained my composure, "You just might be right, mother has always had her ways. Possibly, regardless of our immortality there is an end to everything. This time I am almost sure neither of us will see her even after that. Our curse is blasphemous but mother would find her way." I returned a hopeful smile to her, but the her next statement of my Lord Sanguineous struck me like the very arrow he flung into my heart with his voice.

"Oh my little Jessa." I placed my hand on her head playing with her hair a little, still keeping my smile. "If that is true I do believe I owe you. My Lord Sanguineous's intentions are unknown to me at this point. All that I know is he should be here awfully soon. So let us hope the best, I do not feel like a dealing with a raging war between him and I. Thank him if you please, I am anticipating his reaction if you do." I let out a light chuckle. After all, why frown upon the memories I believed I didn't regret?

I calmed myself seeing her gentle smile, and I believed her words. A slight nod as I took her hand and led her back to mother's statue. My eyes lifting to look into the stone yet still soft, caring eyes of our mother as I spoke. "She shall be our savior and the one in which keeps us together. Though she has left us in the mortal sense, I believe it was her hand that brought you back to me, and me back to you. I believe it is her hand that shall protect us and keep us together."

Maybe I thought like a child in a fairy tale, but with my heart I felt it the truth. I gently released her hand as I turned my eyes to look at her. My eyes moving to hers as I spoke once more. "Maybe it is best he come. We can learn why he is here and I can thank him for allowing my sister her new life." I was trying to make her think less of his reasoning and more to a embracing the thought and the idea of him coming. Maybe in some way it could be good, yet only time shall inform us of the truth.

" My dearest sister... " I noticed her anger and gave off a sweet comforting smile, "...He will not take me again. Although he is my Lord... my sweet Lord Sanguineous. " I paused my words, aware that slipped from my mouth. I bit my lip and continued. "My love, yes... he is my love.. The man who gifted me, I share a bond with him and he knew well of my affection I wished to share with him. I don't know why he would be coming here after his overlord demanded he set me free.. Unless the devil himself has other intentions to drag him to the living well aware of his infatuation with me.."

My smile fading, I quickly did my best to regain it as I slowly laid on my back to stare up at the sky now it was darkening and the night obviously growing cold. "..I have no intentions on going anywhere.. I can never leave you again, nor separate myself from our family's kingdom. Although, I do not believe he is just after me. His wrath and his pace are telling me much different."

"He shall not have my sister again. It will not be. I care not whom he is, you are of my blood first, you are my protector first. He has had you before, he in a sense took you away from me yet gave you back. No he has had you and now you are mine again." Wow can we say selfish? A fierce look grew with in my eyes as I heard her last few sentences. Nostrils flaring as breath was taken deep within my lungs and released trying to calm myself.

"I am not going to give you up helplessly again sister. I will not allow him to take you, if he wishes you he must take me as well or he gets neither of us..."Could that be possible, and whom really wanted a child tagging along side them. Was he coming to take Eli as his love again, take our kingdom since he had power over her. What did he want if he was coming. Why was he coming, she had just been given back to me and he is coming thus soon?

I let out a sigh in agreement before looking up, my face turning stern more serious as I noticed the darkening of the sky.
"Yes we shall, I will not let us fall again... that would be unbearable. Alaent'tar stands for The Noble Line of Victory..father may have ruined us once, but I refuse to let this die in our order." I balled my fist then let it ease.
I finally had to tell her what my intuition spoke of.

"Sister... my dear Jessa." I spoke hesitantly, building up the courage. It was something so simple, rather humorous that I would unsheath my sword and fight in an instant when I had to. Unleash full fury upon those who oppose us, but at the mere thought of my lord.. the faint whisper of his name broke me. "... I fear and dread to tell this, but I feel... a very strong and cold feeling that this is my Lord... He is the one drawing near. The one after our kingdom, why is unsure to me..why he would do this is beyond me. I fear he wants to take me as his own again.. but I am not sure. I sense deep anger, an energy I have yet to experience."
