Nyoka remains silent as she feels the sensation of flying through the air. She flaps her small wings behind her, out of reflex.
Unceremoniously, they are dropped to the floor of Nyoka's flat. Nyoka lands on her stomach, and just lies there, lost in thought.
All the while, Medusa is getting a better grip on Nyoka's soul and heart.
Suddenly, her hand goes to her head. She sighs in relief when she finds circlet in place once more, her gold talons klinking from the metal-on-metal contact.
At length, Nyoka pulls her tail close to her chest, bending it just as though she has knees, and hugs it. "I don't know, Aylana. I really don't. Look at what happened? That could be us. One of could betray the other, could try to kill each other. Things can change. . . . It could happen. . . ." she repeats.

Aylana lands on her knees shaking her head as she looks around seeing the flat again. Looking up when Nyoka speaks she shakes her head "Then we don't let it happen. Beside Nyx was in control, but she not anymore now that I'm human. That will stop it from happening ever again." crawling over she kneels in front of Nyoka.
Placing her hand carefully on top of Nyoka's armshe shakes her head "Nyoka I won't push you, but you know that I don't have the will to kill anything unless I have no choice. I gave up my goddess right because I knew Nyx was heartless. Do you really think I would turn on you when you are my best friend? You stuck by me even when I wanted no one near me." swallowing she shook her head "Even when I was wrong you stood by me just as I have stood by you. I can't allow something from our past destroy this friendship we have. That would kill me more then anything to know I would lose you as my sister and friend..." pulling her hand back she stands only to turn making her way towards the window.
Night had fallen once again, and for the first time in Aylana life she truely hated the looks of it.

Nyoka shrugs, and turns her back to Aylana when she sees her walk to the window. She didn't want to deal with it now. That small part of her wants to just run away.
A voice in her head, an angry, cold, bitter voice, is telling her that she had better deal with it, as Medusa's hold on Nyoka tightens, and spreads even further. It blends, efficiently and effortlessly, with her, and something in Nyoka snaps.
Her head lifts from where it was rested on her scaled tail and, though she is not aware, her face has taken on a more . . . wicked, sinister look. She still looks like herself, but a bit darker in nature than she ever has before.
"You were Nyx, you are Nyx, there is no escaping that. . . ." she says, and her voice is flat, emotionless, almost cold. "Our past could very well become our present, and both of us had better reconcile with that. We can't trust each other. . . ."

Aylana close her eyes hearing the anger in Nyoka's voice. Shaking her head she turns looking at her "I did the one thing Nyx never wanted to do and feared the most. I went mortal. How can you say I am her after everything that happen to us? I stepped in the line of fire loosing my wings to your boyfiend just to make sure you didn't get hurt." she shook her head coughing alittle.
"I've killed myself just to make sure Nyx didn't get free on this world. She torture me from the day i could dream, yet I've stopped her every step of the way. So how can you say I am the very being I wish I never was?" hurt filled her eyes as well as her voice. She couldn't understand how in an instant everything changed on her because of something thatt her past life did.
"Nyoka we are given second chances at life. I've manage to overcome all the wrong Nyx has done. Are you going to allow Medusa to give up on the chance of us fixing what happen between them? Are you really willing to give up on me?" tears ran down her face as she trembled/ At this point she wanted to run but knew she wouldn't do that.
She couldn't allow Nyoka to believe this, that would truely kill her.

"Yes, we were granted a second chance. History repeats itself. . . . Dammit! I need to think. . . ." Nyoka says, grabbing her head, and rocking a little. "This is too much . . . too much for me to handle right now. . . . I want a drink, I want to just forget all of this. . . . I want to forget that I have these feelings of uneasiness toward you, Aylana. I want to forget that I have this feeling that I can't trust you anymore. . . ."

Aylana swallows once more shaking her head "Nyoka come on you know me. I'm Aylana, I'm not her and I never will be. Just by becoming mortal I have stopped her. She has no way of ever getting control of me ever again Nyoka." she turns looking at Nyoka.
She didn't know how she could get her to see this. How she could get Nyoka to understand she would never hurt her.
Closing her eyes she swallows once again "Turn me to stone Nyoka. If that repays for all the damage Nyx has done to you and Medusa then do it. I rather die by your hands then know that you end up hating me for the rest of my life." she stood there watching Nyoka. Her eyes were fearless yet they had darken once more to the color of Nyx's eyes.
Would that be enough to cause Medusa to turn her to stone?

"She came out, though, didn't she? She's still a part of you. . . ." Nyoka points out. "You are Aylana, yes, but she is still inside of you."
Something inside of Nyoka stirs, and she turns her head, presenting her profile to Aylana, as she looks back at her. Her wings spread open, and she frowns. "She's in your eyes."
She then becomes angry. "You think I want to kill you? You think that will make everything better? Do you honestly think I would take this circlet off and turn you into stone? I am tempted, just to shut you up so that I can think. I am sorely tempted. . . ." she reaches a taloned hand up to the cold metal of her circlet, nudging it up.
Do it, Medusa says, taking a few moments out of her merging to poke at Nyoka.
Nyoka shakes her head.
Do it, you will feel better, she urges. And, she wants to know just how powerful the petrification has become. Before, it didn't last long enough for her taste. She hopes it lasts much longer this time. . . .
Nyoka pauses, actually pushing the circlet higher on her forehead.
You know this is what you want. Give in, for once. . . . Shut the girl up, so that you can digest all of this. Make her stop prodding you, make her feel a little of your revenge. . . .

Aylana frowns then move quickly until she is standing in front of Medusa. Her arms remain at her side as she stare straight into Nyoka's eyes "Do it Nyoka, I can tell even without my powers you want to. Give Medusa what she wants by shutting me up when no one was ever able to shut Nyx's up." biting her bottom lip she gives her a weak smile.
She wasn't scared anymore, not of life or death. Her eyes darken to the full black that would be Nyx's eyes. With her hair around her face she seemly took on the looks of Nyx.
Aylana could feel Nyx screaming in her mind to run. But Aylana refuse to allow her to control her.

See? Do yourself, and her, a favor. . . . Medusa says inside of Nyoka's head once more. She gives her own soul one more, violent shove into Nyoka's, and this time, she feels it. It causes her to gasp.
I thought we already did this. . . . Nyoka says, becoming a little frightened. She is not strong enough right now to fight the characteristics from Medusa that she doesn't want in her. If they merge now. . . .
Then, a wicked smile curls on her lips. An eery twinkle is in her eyes as the circlet comes off. The hypnotic, blinding glow enters her eyes, and she stares straight into Aylana's. . . .

Aylana felt the glow drive into her eyes. It was a stab that she remember from when she was young. Soon followed by the freezing that lasted but a few second.
Closing her eyes Aylana brings the hand up that had her sister bracelet on it to her lips. It was the last thing she did before her body turn to stone leaving her lifeless as she stood there in front of Nyoka.

Nyoka's smile broadens. Peace would be hers. She could get that drink, go and train, and think things over now. . . .
Without even a backwards glance, she slithers toward the door of her flat, the same smile on her lips. She slithers out of the flat, and locks the door after her. Whistling, she slithers down the hall, and out of the building. . . .END HERE FOR THE FOURTH POST!

Slowly the rock cracked crumbling to the ground. It was five days later and the spell finally was coming undone. As the last bit fell to the ground Aylana followed after it.
Pale and tembling, her body was weak from the lack of food as well as not being able to move. Panting she looks up trying to locate Nyoka. Seeing she wasn't around she stands slowly only to stumble forward.
Catching her on the arm of the couch she shook her head. She couldn't believe how weak she was, It was like having the twins all over again. She was out cold for a few days after that.
Looking towards the kitchen she moves towards it slowly, she needed food otherwise she knew she would pass out. She would find Nyoka later, for now she needed to get her strength up. She had a feeling she was in for a battle.

Nyoka had been in her room, sleeping, the door closed and the curtains closed around her bed.
Her eyes open a little when she hears some movement in the other room. She stays still, and listens closely.
Well, hell, she thinks, frowning. I thought that it was permanent, now. Oh well. . . .
She groans, and opens the curtains enough to look at the clock. s**t! She had only been sleeping for three hours! She lets the curtain go, and watches as it closes again, a frown on her face again. Well, she isn't going to leave her room, not right now. She knows Aylana is awake now, and she really doesn't want to see her. She'd just petrify her again, anyway. She is sure of it. . . .

Looking through the fridge a frown forms on her face. Why would she think Nyoka would have anything other then meat. Sighing she carefully closes the door resting her head against the fridge. She wasn't sure if she would be able to move again she was that weak.
Being human had it downside, as a fa'e she could have teleported back home to get some food. As a human, she wasn't able to do anything really. Pushing away from the fridge she leans against the counter tilting her head back.
She was trying to think as to where the closest food place would be. She knew she wouldn't be able to travel far. Not in the state she was in.

Nyoka catches some of what Aylana is thinking, and grumbles. Heaving an annoyed sigh, and rolling her eyes, she sits up in bed. She throws the curtains around her open, and squints a little as the sun that is filtering through the open blinds hits her eyes.
Her wings flap and stretch behind her, and she leans back, popping her back and shoulders, yawning loudly.
She slithers toward her door, and opens it. She then goes to the kitchen, and shakes her head, a little disgust on her face, when she sees her "sister" there.
"You're pathetic," she says, so softly Aylana probably won't be able to hear her unless she strains to do so.
She slithers toward the pantry, and throws open the door. Her serpentine eyes scan the contents - mostly junk food since Arkie had been staying in her flat. She pulls out the bread, and some peanut butter. She sets them on the counter, and nudges, not too gently, Aylana out of the way of the fridge. Opening it, she takes out the jam, and then sets it next to the peanut butter and bread. "Have at it," she says, obviously not willing to do more than that. She slithers into the living room, sits on the couch, and turns on her television, looking for something to watch.
