Robin didn't understand. Veronica was trembling, but why? Was she not the all mighty demon that Raine and Durithill spoke of? ' Veronica, I do not know how you know me or why, but I would like to know one thing. Why do you assume I am dead?...' She asked with some confidence, hoping to get a straight answer out of te women.

The fire seemed to spread from Durithill to the ground untill everything was burning. "Of course it is." he said before falling over backwards. He hit the ground with a heavy thud and just lay there bleeding, apparently unable to get up.

"As long as you're happy..." She whispered to herself, her eyes closed completely with her hands over her ears. "..As long as you're happy..." She felt the heat of the flames suddenly ignited on the ground. She kept still, trembling slightly. "It's an illusion.." She whispered to herself. "...Only, an illusion...."
"I..." she began, not entirelly knowing what to say. "I am Veronica... Veronica Valentine." She repeated, pulling down the hood that hung low over her face. The Vampire's bright green eyes shone brilliantly in what little sun remained, peeking over the oncoming rain clouds. "You were supposed to have died years ago, sister..." She spoke slowly, making an addition to her sentence. "..So I was told...."

A familiar evil laughed sounded in Raine's ears as another figure appeared out of the mist. "You'll never make him happy. You can't." said Durimiros as he circled around her, the flames leaping higher. "You've killed him, Raine. How can he be happy if you've killed him?"

' Valentine... Sister? This can't, I do not have a sister...' She protested with Veronica. There was no way that they were related. They were so different, not even the same race. Robin shook her head, her eyes closed tightly. ' Don't tell such lies. The elders told me.. my family passed away. My parents and siblings are all dead. ' She stamped her foot and looked at Veronica. ' Don't hide behind your hood, look me in the eye.' She demanded this from the demon. If Veronica was going to lie to her, she should atleast have the dignaty to look her in the eye.

"I didn't kill him.." She spoke lowly, her eyes on the ground. Not in shame, not in sadness.. No. She had no expression. "Get out of my sight. You're nothing but an illusion." Her palms lay flat against the ground, her legs curled tightly against her body.
Lifting her head, Veronica looked straight into Robin's eyes. "I see.." She said lowly. "You were too young to remember who gave you that.. harp of yours." She said, shiftng her eyes to it for a moment. "Can you even read what's written on it? It's in demonic, is it not?" Valentine paused before speaking up again. "One of the Angelic race is not taught Demonic at a young age..."

"Really? Take a look." Durimiros said, gesturing towards Durithill's body. The sword clased in his hand, which he'd pulled out of his chest, was hers. Durimiros leaned over her and stared down at her. "And if I'm an illusion, then how am I standing here, and how is he laying dead there with your sword." he whispered in her ear.

' My harp.. Was a gift, from whom, I do not remember. ' She stated. Angelic? She was elvan, not Angelic.' Yes, it is Demonic, but...' She paused and began to rethink everything and anything in her life that had happened which she couldn't explain. Being of the Angelic race would... She gasped. It can't be...' She said with tears in her eyes. Robin looked at Veronica in horror. How could this reched women really be her sister?

"I know what I do, fool..." She hissed at him, opening her eyes and staring up at the figure with her "blade". "I would not kill the one I love. Get out of my sight!" She growlled at Durimiros, keeping her palms flat on the ground. "You're an illisuon, get out of my way.."
"Deny it all you want..." Veronica whispered, her eyes lowering to the ground as she flipped her hood back up onto her head, only allowing a few locks of her silver hair to fall from within the cloak. ""A gift from whom I don't remember."" She quoted her. "Hmm, yes, that does seem to fit together nicely, now doesn't it?"

"An illusion?" Durimiros whispered, dragging one of his fingers across her cheek. "Say it all you want, but you still know that you could have killed him. You still know this could have happened, and probably will."

Robin held back the tears. Her back arched, she stood with a look of confidence. She wasn't going to let Veronica get the better of her. ' ...' She stayed quiet from a few minutes, analyzing the situation she was in. ' So your the one who gave me the harp..' She said. A flash of gold caught her eye as Veronica shifted her cloak. Her eyes narrowed. ' Is that a locket? You only have half of it, I presume.' She was trying to get the upper hand in the situation, but it wasn't really working.

Raine rose her right hand into the air and went out in full force, applying pressure to the swing of her palm; slapping Durimions across the face. "Get your hands off of me! I'll say it one more time, I would never kill Durithill, nor would he say such things to me!" She hissed, her eyes narrowing.
"Your point being?" Veronica replied, an eyebrow being raised. "Anyway.. That harp you have? It's not only for a musical use... it's for much more then that you know..." She told her, not saying much more. "Not that you'd want to hear much more from me anyway... Not that you've missed me at all." Her green eyes shifted to her crimson nails. "I guess this is one-sided, then..."

Raine's hand, however, did not hit anything but instead passed straight through Durimiros. Except there was no Durimiros anymore. Everything disappeared, including the mist, leaving the forest as it was, with the exception of the animals that had fled.

She's my sister... She thought to herself. ' Veronica.. I've had no idea you were still alive. I had accepted the fact that I was alone, and that you, mother and father had passed. ' Robin's head lowered, a tear falling to the ground. Her arms dropped at her side, her hands clenching into fists. ' I was taken, wasn't I? ' That was the only possible explination. ' Did you even try to look for me...?' She swallowed hard, hoping her question wouldn't anger Veronica further.

"Raine! Raine, are you alright?" said a frantic voice in her head. "I thought it'd effect her longer and you'd break it sooner... Oh Raine, I'm so sorry."
