Aylana continue to look at her hands as she thought of all the blood they had caused in her past. She started thinking, what if even as a human she was still Nyx. Would she really kill people to get her way?
Groaning she pushes off the floor only to walk towards the window. Staring at the outside she bites lightly at her thumb trying to block out all the thought. She refuse to allow herself to double guess herself. She knew the past but she refuse to allow it to happen again.
This was what made her different, she accpected and now would move on. Not allow the past to take control of her. She had family, friends, and happiness. It was everything she wanted that Nyx hated.
Her eyes widen as she shook her head "That it, she hates happiness so she using it against us. She trying to turn us against eachother." she turns glancing at Nyoka. "Without hate and chaos Nyx doesn't exist."

Nyoka quirks a brow, and frowns. "So, what, you want me to profess my undying love for you, and you think that will make everything all better, or something?" she asks, her brows furrowing now.
She sighs, sounding almost disgusted. "We're still friends, I doubt there is much that will change that. I just don't much like you right now. Which, I guess, is wrong. I don't know. Things are so messed up in my head right now, that I don't think that is wrong. I have too many conflicting thoughts in my head, and I can't hear past them."

Aylana shakes her head very confuse, this wasn't the Nyoka she knows. The Nyoka she knew would listen to her even if she was wrong. Biting at her lower lip she closes her eyes. She knew it was time to back off as her pushing wasn't helping.
Taking a seat at the dinner table she crosses her legs as she wraps her arms around her shoulder. She was still getting use to not having her wings to hide in.

Nyoka leans back, and closes her eyes, her wings wrapping around her shoulders.
Even though she doesn't mean for it to happen, exhaustion soon beats her. Her head falls to her shoulder, and her hands relax in her lap, one sliding down onto the floor.

Glancing up Aylana tilts her head watching Nyoka for a moment. It took a few for her to realize that Nyoka had fallen asleep. Shaking her head she stands walking into Nyoka's bedroom.
Grabbing her blankets and all the pillows she heads back into the livingroom. She would try to move Nyoka, but she knew it wouldn't happen. She didn't have her strength anymore.
Kneeling down next to Nyoka she lays all but one pillow down on the floor. Turning she carefully moves Nyoka, this alone was not easy. Once Nyoka was fully on all the pillows she places the last one on another pillow before laying Nyoka's head down on it.
Wiping at her brows she picks up the blanket laying it over Nyoka. Sitting back she breathes in slowly before she smiles. Standing slowly she walks over grabbing the extra to wrap around her own body. Heading back over she takes a seat on the floor resting her body against the wall.
It doesn't take long as she for her to soon slip off into her own sleep.Her head laying on her knees as she sat across from Nyoka.

Fourth Part! Krista_Darkangel_Silme Nyx didn't speak she didn't watch the scene either. She couldn't cause sadly as much as she hated Medusa deep down she didn't wish that death upon her at all. With Medusa words she didn't say anything either, she remains quiet; Aylana couldn't breathe even though she tried so hard to. How could a friendship strong as there be destroy over one person greed. Was this the fate of all the god and goddess? Greed consumes them to make foolish choices? Looking over Aylana shakes her head " Nyoka remember how we always said we had eachother back since before we were kids? Do you really think I would do something like that to you? When I hate the thought of killing?" her voice was filled with the tears she couldn't show. " What about always being there for eachother. Your my blood sister, remember we have always fought side by side. Yes we get mad at eachother, but that what sister do.." Shaking her head she laughs alittle " Are you really going to let this end like this? Even after everything we have overcome when people around us said we couldn't?" she looks towards Nyoka fear in her eyes. She couldn't handle this, the thought that because of there past she lose her best friend for something she didn't do. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar 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. Krista_Darkangel_Silme 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. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar 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. . . ." Krista_Darkangel_Silme 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. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "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. . . ." Krista_Darkangel_Silme 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? Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "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. . . . Krista_Darkangel_Silme 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. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar 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. . . . Krista_Darkangel_Silme 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. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar 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. . . .

Fifth Part! Krista_Darkangel_Silme 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. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar 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. . . . Krista_Darkangel_Silme 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. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar 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. Krista_Darkangel_Silme Aylana stumbles from being nudge, frowning she doesn't even bother to go for the food. Instead she turns walking towards the enterance to the living room " What the ******** your problem Nyoka?" She was pissed that Nyoka was acting in her eyes a child. She couldn't believe that after everything they been though Nyoka would really think she do what Nyx did to Medusa. It disgusted her that after all this time Nyoka would really believe she turn her back on her. Rolling her eyes she sighs " So is this how its going to be? After one stupid thing of the past your going to turn your back on the one person that has always been in your corner?" she turns shaking her head. " I honestly thought you were better then that Nyoka." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Nyoka shrugs nonchalantly. "It is what it will be, Aylana. And, you'll just have to be patient while I work through whatever is in my head," she turns smoldering eyes on Aylana. "I don't want to turn you to stone again. You could starve to death. Best you eat something, Aylana. Before you pass out. Besides," she adds, as she turns her attention back to the movie on the TV. "You couldn't hold up to a push from me right now. As entertaining as it would be to me to see you topple over from a little shove, I'd rather not fight with you when I am so obviously stronger at this point." Krista_Darkangel_Silme Aylana rolls her eyes shaking her head " You maybe stronger right now, but as far as brains your the weak one. I thought you were actually smarter Nyoka. But no sadly it seems your not, beside weren't you always the one that said the past is what it is? The past? So why don't you take your own advise? Or you letting Medusa get to you like she wants it?" shaking her head she rolls her eyes. " For once I'm sorry to say I actually know you, and for once in the whole time I have known you. I'm the stonger one of the two of us. Because I didn't let my past get to me the way you have let it get to you." shaking her head she heads towards the door " I think I'm gonna head home, I rather not be here while your acting foolish ." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "Yeah, the past is the past, Aylana. But, you know as well as I that if it keeps being pushed on you in such a way as it was five days ago that it can wear on you," she says, her voice taking on an angry edge now. "So, excuse the hell out of me if that bothers you, if that doesn't fit into your cookie-cutter, perfect fantasy life. I'm so ******** sorry that I have shamed you, or whatever you feel. I am so very, very sorry that I am not what you want me to be right now."
Nyoka looks over at her, and smirks. "Go home. I don't want to be around you, either. Get out of my flat." Krista_Darkangel_Silme Turning her eyes narrow at Nyoka " You cold hearted b***h. How many times did s**t happen to me that you ended up slaping me in the face to knock my senses? Maybe someone should ******** knock the s**t out of you. Maybe your damn brain might work again." turning she continues to the door popping it open. Looking over her shoulder she laughs alittle " I never thought I say this, but grow the ******** up Nyoka. Quick being a b***h and think about the way your acting because in the end your the one that will lose." stepping though the door she slams in behind her before she stood there trembling. At this point she didn't care who saw her, she fell to her knee not being able to keep the strength in her legs anymore. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "I'd like to see you try to knock the s**t out of me!" Nyoka yells after Aylana, just before the door closes.
She glares at the closed door, feeling one slam shut in her heart. And, through it all, it hurts. It hurts more than anything she has felt in her life, but she is too stubborn to allow herself to feel it for too long.
She puts it away, and turns back to the TV. Her keen ears pick up on the sound outside of her door. She tells herself she doesn't care. Aylana can take care of her own damn self!
But, the movie is not distracting her enough, and there is a nagging feeling in the back of her brain. She isn't acting like a child, dammit! She is more grown up than Aylana, who just wants her to be the way she has always been, or whatever. She's the immature one if she can't understand that she needs time to deal with this, in her way. To sift through all that she has learned, all of the new feelings she has inside of her. She needs time to get used to this bitter anger that is clutching her heart. She'll have to live with it, she knows. Medusa used her, and finally got what she wanted in the end: to truly be merged, but to put her own identity into her.
She can feel the changes in her. She doesn't particularly like them, but she doesn't hate them, either. . . .
Growling, she turns off the TV, and throws the remote against the wall. Good for her, there wasn't much heart in the throw, and the remote only bounced off, and flew half the way back to her, but remained intact.
Nyoka jumps up, and slithers to the closed door. She slams it open, and leans over. She grabs Aylana up by the back of her shirt, and hauls her inside. She carries her, in this way, to the small table, and deposits her unceremoniously, into one of the chairs. "I ******** hate you right now," she says, stalking off to the kitchen.
She hastily makes two sandwhiches, and pours some water into a cup. She returns to the table, slams them down in front of Aylana with such force the sandwiches jump on their plate, and the water sloshes over the rim of the cup. "You and I, we're going a round after you eat. We have some air to clear, and it had better be soon before we really start hating each other enough to not see each other." Krista_Darkangel_Silme Aylana glares at her before shaking her head " Then hate me all you want. I'm not going to fight you and I'm sure the hell not going to be your punching bag so you can feel better. And I'm not staying here either, I'm sick of every ******** time something goes wrong I end up being the bad guy." she stand then leans forward. " You think I ******** like what Nyx's did to Medusa? I hate the bitches guts, I hate her for everything she caused in my life. Its why I went human because I didn't want her to get a chance to cause harm ever again. But I get faulted for her. You think I wanted to be her? You think I wanted to know the s**t she cause to you? You can believe Medusa all you want. But I'm not staying around, I'm done with you." pulling the sister bracelet off she throws it at Nyoka's chest. " I don't want to be the sister to someone who can't look past something as stupid as the past. I'm never going to be her again and if you can't see past that then there is no point to me being here." she didn't even wait for an answer as she heads for the door again. She was upset and refuse to show it. Part of her at that moment died when she removed the bracelet. But she couldn't allow anyone to see the pain it caused in her soul. She let Medusa win, but she wouldn't stick around to watch her sister fall. Pulling the door open she slip through it slamming it once again. Wiping at her face she runs down the hallway not stopping until she reach the stairs. Her body was screaming to rest, but she refused it. Heading down the steps two at a time she held onto the bar to keep herself from stumbling. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar If that was supposed to get through to Nyoka, it doesn't. She watches as the bracelet bounces off of her chest, and as Aylana leaves the room.
She's more angry than anything, and her eyes are glowing faintly with that anger. That's just like her, she thinks, bitterly. Run away like the ******** coward she is. How many times did I sit with her weak a** and not go away even when she wanted me to? Screw her, and the horse she rode in here on.
Nyoka pulls the sandwhiches over to her, and starts to eat them, putting Aylana out of her mind again. If Aylana wanted to see her, she would come to her. She wasn't going to be holding out the olive branch this time. Aylana could ******** herself sideways for all she cared. Have a nice life, a*****e, she thinks, and continues eating.
She taps a gold talon on the table top, looking down at the sisters bracelet that Aylana ripped off. Once she is finished with the sandwiches, she grabs up the bracelet, and goes to the window. Aylana would have to pass by this to get back to her house. So, she tosses it out, dusts off her hands, and goes to clean the dishes, planning the rest of her day. Anything to keep her mind off of the slight pain she can feel trying to break through all of the anger and resentment she is feeling inside of her. Krista_Darkangel_Silme Back at the house she lays in her bed watching as Cielra slept. She didn't leave her room since the day she left Nyoka's. After seeing the braclet on the sidewalk she felt dead inside. It was enough to make her not wish to see any of her friends. She couldn't believe it was over, she lost her best friend over a stupid thing in her eyes. The hardest thing ever was to leave the bracelet where it was on the sidewalk and continue on with her life. Wiping at her eyes rather quickly she shook her head closing her eyes. Memories of Nyx's were flowing into her mind like an open book since the day she learn everything. All of it involved Nyx betraying everyone who ever got close to her. She understood now why Medusa as well as many others had such hatred for her. It only made her more determind then ever to fight against it. She refuse to give in to the past and allow a women like that again to walk this planet. She was Aylana, the angel of night. A wonderful mother, and a caring soul. And she would never be anyone else. Sitting up she pushes her hair from her face before she grabs the extra pillow resting it on her knees. laying her head on the pillow she just stares at the door. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar After taking Ernia on a tour of the new flat, and watching as her daughter looked around in disgusted disdain, they sit around the small table in the dining area.
"You know, mum," Ernia starts, her large, snowy-white wings fluttering a little as she tries to get comfortable. "You should be living far better than this. Don't you have money?"
Nyoka shrugs, the tip of her tail twitching. "It suits me far better than that palace, Ernia," she says.
Ernia looks down her nose and quirks a straight, angled dark purple eyebrow. "Whatever." Her large, amber eyes light on Nyoka's left wrist. Her eyebrows wing up, now. "Where's that silly bracelet? It was, practically, the only thing of value you wore. I mean, if you don't count those horrible posts you stick in those holes all over your face."
"Don't talk to me that way," Nyoka says, warning in her eyes when she looks on her adopted daughter. She sighs, and tells Ernia everything.
"The b***h," Ernia says, narrowing her eyes.
"Yeah."
"I hope you aren't speaking to her."
"Nope."
Ernia nods in approval, her half-snowflake crown glittering in the lights of the room. "Good. She doesn't deserve your time."
"I agree."
They sit there, looking down at their tea in silence. Krista_Darkangel_Silme There was a small knock at Nyoka's door, a tiger angel as well a keon were waiting outside the door. They weren't here to yell, they were here in hopes that maybe they could help solve this. Drac looks at ren biting at her bottom lip " Ren this is foolish, were going to get our heads bit off by her. Why do you want to come here anyways? You really think she going to listen to us if she won't listen to mum? We should be with mum trying to get her to start living life again." she lets her hands drop at her sign before she looks back at the door. Ren wrinkles her nose Drac before knocking on the door. She didn't care, she was going to know all that happen. She couldn't get it out of her mother as she hadn't spoken since the day she left this home. Tapping her foot she cross her arms under her chest. She knew what Ernia temper was like so she knew she could also handle Nyoka. Lifting her hand she looks to Drac as she signs to her " I'm not going to be stupid I just want this to end for all our sakes. If it takes the children then damnnit it let it be. I'm sick of this, I can't sit around hoping things will get better. Mum not doing well because of this." she looks back at the door glaring at it. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Nyoka doesn't move at the knock on the door, even though Ernia looks at her, expectantly. She grumbles, and rises gracefully. She smoothes her hands over her pale gold dress, and holds her head high, in a queenly fashion. "The least you could do is have some hired help around here," she tells her mum.
Long, graceful fingers pick up the large amethyst on the long chain that Sticks gave her as she walk on stilleto heels over to the door. She opens it, and comes face to face with her girlfriend's glare. She blinks at Ren, and then looks over at Drac. "Hello . . ." she says, signing it for the benefit of Virendra as she says it. "Please, come in," she says, and signs, as she steps back to allow the girls entrance.
"Dammit, Ernia, I don't want any godsdamned company!" Nyoka growls, angrily.
"Too bad," Ernia says, stiffly, and rolls her large amber eyes, giving a 'whoo' of annoyance as her feathers ruffle. "She's pissy at the moment, so don't look her in the eye if the circlet comes off, or you will regret it," she says, and signs. Krista_Darkangel_Silme Ren nods before brushing her lips over Ernia's for a moment. She miss even a simple kiss from her. Pulling back she nods " Already know, had to go through mum's journal to know what to watch out for." giving a small wink she looks to Drac expecting her to say something. Drac shakes her head lifing her hands above her " Hey I'm staying out of this. I'm not going to get turned to stone because our mums are not speaking. Its there fight now ours why should be get stuck in the middle?" she frowns placing her hands on her hips. Ren growls at her sister before her eyes narrow " Because mum isn't acting normal." she turns looking to Ernia " Mum won't leave the home she in currently. She hasn't left the room at all, and everytime someone calls the home she won't answer the cellphone she has. I'm scared she given up finally." she glances toward Nyoka frowning. Drac face saddens alittle before she steps foward " Nyoka were sorry to even remotely bug you. But were worried about our mother. We just want to help solve this." her tail brush the ground rather quickly. She was nervouse and it showed. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Ernia blinks at the kiss, but returns it, with a small smile.
She glances over at Drac, her eyebrow winging up, with a look on her face that says, Nice job, p***y.
She then signs to Ren, "Mum is out all of the time. I don't think she has slept much. She's blatantly ignoring the subject of Ayl-"
"If you were really sorry, you would bugger off!" Nyoka says, moving toward the door. "You can't solve your mum acting like a ******** prat, and running off, like she always does, when I was trying to talk to her. You can't solve the fact that she severed all ties to me. So, I suggest the lot of you turn around and walk your narrow asses out of my flat."
"Mum!" Ernia says, having signed everything for Ren. She glares, her hands frantically moving in front of her as she signs all she is saying, as hr back is now to Ren. "There is no need to be rude!"
"Rude? Rude?" Nyoka says, narrowing her glowing eyes. "Am I the one sticking my nose where it doesn't belong? Am I the one who has wandered over, unannounced, to prod at someone's brain and feelings? No, I am not. So, all of you, leave, now." She turns her back on the three of them, and goes into her room, slamming the door as Ernia winces, having finished her signing.
She sighs, and shrugs. "Yeah, she has been moody as of late. . . ." Krista_Darkangel_Silme Drac winces at the door then frowns placing her hands on her hips " Told you this was a bad idea. Am I the only smart one here?" she help as she gets smack in the head by Ren, hissing she glares at her sister. Ren rolls her eyes before looking toward Ernia " This isn't good, I don't know what to do. No one seen her and I'm scared that something bad has happen to her hun. But she too stubborn to come over here to talk to Nyoka." her wing flex alittle before folding behind her back. Drac sighs placing her arms across her chest " Last time anyone saw mum was when she picked up Cielra. She look awful Ernia, she was pale and she look like she was wasting away. Mum misses Nyoka and if we don't fix this.." she doesn't finish what she was saying. Ren shivers at the thought before she looks back to Ernia " I'm scared to think that I'm going to lose my mother.." her eyes were glistening. Both girls were at the end of there rope as they didn't know what to think. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Ernia frowns, and shakes her head. She pinches the bridge of her nose, and her wings flap in an agitated manner, her tail feathers ruffling out as she starts to pace, the pale gold of her gown shimmering as she does so.
She signs rapidly as she speaks. "What the hell are we supposed to do? I mean, they are both stubborn. And, I know for a fact that, this time, mum is not going to be the one to go to her. We'd have to get Aylana here. . . ." she says, shaking her head again as her wings flap so furiously, she lifts an inch off of the floor for a moment.
"Any ideas?" she asks, hovering in front of the other girls, now. Krista_Darkangel_Silme Ren sighs running one long black nail over her nose. Her tongue darts out for a moment before she purrs glancing at Drac as the idea comes to her " Drac you can still summon right?" Drac tilts her head her ears twitching alittle bfeore she nods " Yes as long as the moon is out I can summon anything and anyo..." she gasp then looks towards the window her tail smacking the ground alittle " Ren your a genius!!!" Ren smirks then gives a wink to Ernia as she pulls the single black feather from her hair. Holding it out to Drac she wraps her arm around Ernia pulling her toward her then a few steps back " She gonna need room." Closing her eyes Drac start chanting to herself as she holds the feather in the palm of her hands. It didn't take long before her body started glowing and the feather lifted from her hands. The feather shifted in form form a dream like ball in front of them. Their was Aylana laying in the bed, her eyes close as she slept. Cielra was curled up next to her sucking on her small thumb. Opening her eyes Drac look at the ball floating above her hands " Mother and sister come to me..." and in the instant the dream ball vanish being replace by the feather. A flash of light came next and there was Aylana and Cielra laying on the ground still sleeping. Drac was the first to move picking up her baby sister so she didn't get cold on the ground. Ren stares at her mother, just as they said Aylana was pale and look like she was wasting away. Ren look away hissing alittle before she hides her face in Ernia's neck. Drac kneels downpoking lightly at her mother's shoulder " Mum...please awake up." she sits back watching as her mother stirs. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Ernia watches, leaning against her girlfriend as she does so. She blinks when the two forms appear on the floor.
She looks back at Ren. "Mum isn't going to like this one bit," she says, slowly, so Ren can read her lips.
"Aylana," Ernia says, moving away from Ren to give the Fa'e a shake. "Come on, get up," she says, in a harsher voice, hoping to smack her out of her slumber. Krista_Darkangel_Silme Ren nods then shrugs " Its the only way though.." she watches Ernia step away from her. She glances towards the room that Nyoka was currently in then back towards the other. Drac bites at her bottom lip holding her baby sister close. She was glad the little one was sleeping. She didn't want her to see any of this not like they did as little kids. Aylana stirs opening her eyes. Arching a brow she sits up shaking her head " Where am I? Ernia?" she glances around the room before she figured it out " How did I?" when she looks to Drac then Ren seeing them both bite their lips she didn't say anymore. She knew how she got her " Why was I brought here?" Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "Because," Ernia says, with an air of hautiness as she stands straight once more. She waves her hand in a lazy, dismissive manner, as though Aylana really isn't worth her time. Her nose wrinkles as she looks down at her. This is all an act, or course. She is trying to get a spark to light in Aylana's eyes. She knows she is going to need it, with the mood her mum has been in. "You and my mum are acting like fools. And I, for one, don't have the patience to mollycoddle the both of you. I am not here to hold your hands, and your daughters should not have to do the same. So, get up, and act your age."
With that, she walks with her nose in the air toward her mums door. She pulls her scepter from the bustle of her dress, and opens the door. She points the sapphire snowflake at Nyoka. "Out!" she says, blasting her mum with a snow-flecked gust of wind. She jumps back, as her mum growls, and launches off of the bed.
But, when Nyoka sees who is out in her living room, she glares, her hands still held out in front of her as though she is going to strangle Ernia. "What the hell is she doing here?" she asks.
Ernia simply shrugs, grabs Drac's and Ren's wrists, and stalks toward the front door. "Talk. We'll leave you alone," with that, she pulls thw girls out of the room, and leaves their mums in the flat.
Nyoka doesn't say a word, just looks away from Aylana, folding her arms under her chest. Krista_Darkangel_Silme Drac yelps as she is dragged from the room. She hisses then laughs at Ernia shaking her head. This was one of those times she love the fact her sister was dating the girl. Ren kisses Ernia's cheek then pulls away for a moment, winking she turns back toward the door. Humming she places her hands on the door as the runes on her wings start glowing, like her sister her power got stronger. A barrier made of stars form around the outside as well as every window and door making it impossiable for Nyoka and Aylana to leave the room they are in. Stepping back she tuns then head back toward Ernia wrapping her arm around her as a evil smile forms on her lips. Aylana just looks shocked for a moment before she recovers " I got brought here against my will for this? I don't have time for nonsense, I have things I have to do." standing she walks toward the door placing her hand on the doorknob. With a yelp she pulls it back as if she got burned. " s**t!!! Ren lock us in..." she growls rubbing at her palm. Turning she glares at Nyoka " This is your fault, if you only would listen to me.." she shook her head looking down at her hand. Sure enough it was slightly red. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Ernia only smirks during the whole ordeal. "I think that was nicely played. . . ."she adds, giving Ren a kiss.
"Oh, don't let me rain on your pity parade, dear sister," Nyoka starts, the last word spoken in a jeering tone. "If you hadn't had walked out when I hauled your sorry a** back in here, we wouldn't have been in this situation, would we?" Krista_Darkangel_Silme Ren purrs against Ernia's lip then pulls her closer her claws running down her back. Her tail wrapping around Ernia's leg as she pulls back licking at her lips. Drac rolls her eyes before she shook her head " Oh would you two get a room, some of us rather not see you two acting all mushy." her tail flicks across the ground as she runs her finger along the top of Cielra's forehead. Aylana turns her eyes narrowing as she stares at Nyoka " I left because I didn't want to become your personal punching bag. If your haven't forgotten I'm a human. I don't have my strength anymore or the fa'e powers." rolling her eyes she plops down in front of the door looking down at the ground. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Ernia only chuckles, shaking her head a little and shrugging.
Nyoka's eyes start glowing, and she slowly turn to face Aylana. "If you had taken a moment to allow a thought into your empty head, you would have seen that what I meant was that you and I needed to talk. But, no" she says, throwing her hands in the air and frowning. "You had to run away because you didn't want to face anything. And, now, our teenage daughters have locked us into my own damn flat because you aren't taking care of yourself!"
She huffs out an angry breath, and leans heavily against the wall, her glowing eyes turning away from Aylana once more. "You're selfish, do you know that? You can't take a moment to understand what has happened to me. Medusa has merged, completely, with me! Every characteristic she had has been imprinted onto me now! And, if you really cared, you would have stayed here when I pulled you back inside and tried to take care of you, you would have stayed so that we could try to help each other get used to all of this. I can't help the way I am, now, and it is taking some adjusting on my part. And, that new bit of our past we were shown? It is going to take me just as long to process that, so that I can understand everything that is going on!" Krista_Darkangel_Silme Aylana looks toward Nyoka frowning " You think I don't know how you feel. I've had nightmares since the night I left you here. Everything has come back. Every damn thing this woman has done has come back to me. Every killing and lover, every betrayal she did. Its all come back, its making me sick to the point I don't want to be here. How can I live knowing I was once this person who sole purpose was to torture everyone?" shaking her head she looks back down. " I haven't come back because your right.." she looks back up frowning " I am her even if I don't wish to be her. I remembered how many time I have been jealous of you because you had the things I always wanted. Courage, confident, love. I was angry that you had this stuff while I had nothing but torture in my life." shaking her head she looks at her hand " They say you pay for you sins. I think that what is happening now, I'm paying for her sins because she destroy everything she touched." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar "We both can't run away from this, Lana," Nyoka says, softly. It pains her to say this next bit, and it shows a little on her face. The parts that are very much Medusa that are inside of her revolt against he very words that are going to be said. "We need each other for this one. We can't get through this without each other. There, I said it. I know you were thinking it, or you wouldn't have been punishing yourself the way you had been. . . ."
She shakes her head, angry for the sign of weakness she just let out. Something inside of her twists Aylana's words. "I knew you hated me," she mumbles. "Secretly, maybe, but I had a feeling. . . ." this is said with venom, and her eyes continue to glow. They really haven't stopped since the merging.
She shakes her head once more, and says, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Look, I am just as messed up as everyone else. Don't put me up on this pedestal. . . ." Krista_Darkangel_Silme Aylana snaps growling at her " I never hated you. Why can't you understand that? I was jealous, everyone gets like that. But hate, no I can't hate you. You are the one that knows me Nyoka, how can I hate someone that is my sister?" shaking her head she looks back down at the ground. " Your my idol Nyoka because you are strong when I can't be. You help me through so much s**t even when you didn't have to." she falls quiet for a few minutes as she twist the hem of her shirt in her hands. " Your right, we can't get through this without eachother. This is something we both got to face. I hate that were fighting over this." looking up she dark blue eyes lighten alittle " I know its going to be hard, but I won't run away. I rather die then lose you or a chance to fix this so it can be laid to rest." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Nyoka stiffly slithers to Aylana, and sinks down beside her. Wincing, she lifts an arm up and puts it around Aylana's shoulder, giving it a squeeze before pulling her arm away.
"Don't say that. I am no one's idol, and I don't want to be," she says, slightly bitter. Inwardly wincing once more, as the new bits of herself object to her next words, "You are strong, too. You would have to be to have gotten through what you have."
She shakes her head, and looks utterly beat. She is so tired. Her lack of sleep is catching up to her. . . . "Then, we'll sit here, and we will talk about what needs to be talked about. We might not ever be the same, but we can try to make it there. . . ." Krista_Darkangel_Silme Aylana nods then rest her back against the wall keeping her eyes closed for a moment. With a shake of her head she sighs " She truely was a b***h Nyoka, I can see why Medusa hates her so much. She destroys everyone life to get what she wants. I can't believe that I was her. I'm not like that, I would rather died for people." with a shake of her head she looks down at her hands. The very hands they destroy life in her eyes, it was making her stomach knot up as well as twist. Shaking her head she looks toward Nyoka " Oh hush you have always been my idol Nyoka. You seem to have your head on your shoulder." she falls quiet as she looks back down at her hands. Very few people were her idols, she kept those close to her. They were the ones that made her looks at things differently. Morion, Nyoka, Rune, Arkie, Morty, and even Aadil. They each made her understand it was fine to be herself. But she always knew that until she accepted her past she wouldn't ever be herself. She been with the guilt that wasn't her. She be living with all the torture Nyx did to those of her past. Not any longer, she was ready to truely face this and overcome it. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Nyoka scowls down at her hands, which are now folded in her scaled lap, and shrugs. She really doesn't know what to say to any of that. She has the time to reflect on how, before all of this had happened, she would have known the exact words that needed to be said. But, she guesses, things have changed, and now, she really could care less. Some part of her is appaled by that, but that is overpowered by the rest of her.
All she does is shrug, and stays silent. Krista_Darkangel_Silme Aylana continue to look at her hands as she thought of all the blood they had caused in her past. She started thinking, what if even as a human she was still Nyx. Would she really kill people to get her way? Groaning she pushes off the floor only to walk towards the window. Staring at the outside she bites lightly at her thumb trying to block out all the thought. She refuse to allow herself to double guess herself. She knew the past but she refuse to allow it to happen again. This was what made her different, she accpected and now would move on. Not allow the past to take control of her. She had family, friends, and happiness. It was everything she wanted that Nyx hated. Her eyes widen as she shook her head " That it, she hates happiness so she using it against us. She trying to turn us against eachother." she turns glancing at Nyoka. " Without hate and chaos Nyx doesn't exist." Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Nyoka quirks a brow, and frowns. "So, what, you want me to profess my undying love for you, and you think that will make everything all better, or something?" she asks, her brows furrowing now.
She sighs, sounding almost disgusted. "We're still friends, I doubt there is much that will change that. I just don't much like you right now. Which, I guess, is wrong. I don't know. Things are so messed up in my head right now, that I don't think that is wrong. I have too many conflicting thoughts in my head, and I can't hear past them." Krista_Darkangel_Silme Aylana shakes her head very confuse, this wasn't the Nyoka she knows. The Nyoka she knew would listen to her even if she was wrong. Biting at her lower lip she closes her eyes. She knew it was time to back off as her pushing wasn't helping. Taking a seat at the dinner table she crosses her legs as she wraps her arms around her shoulder. She was still getting use to not having her wings to hide in. Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar Nyoka leans back, and closes her eyes, her wings wrapping around her shoulders.
Even though she doesn't mean for it to happen, exhaustion soon beats her. Her head falls to her shoulder, and her hands relax in her lap, one sliding down onto the floor. Krista_Darkangel_Silme Glancing up Aylana tilts her head watching Nyoka for a moment. It took a few for her to realize that Nyoka had fallen asleep. Shaking her head she stands walking into Nyoka's bedroom. Grabbing her blankets and all the pillows she heads back into the livingroom. She would try to move Nyoka, but she knew it wouldn't happen. She didn't have her strength anymore. Kneeling down next to Nyoka she lays all but one pillow down on the floor. Turning she carefully moves Nyoka, this alone was not easy. Once Nyoka was fully on all the pillows she places the last one on another pillow before laying Nyoka's head down on it. Wiping at her brows she picks up the blanket laying it over Nyoka. Sitting back she breathes in slowly before she smiles. Standing slowly she walks over grabbing the extra to wrap around her own body. Heading back over she takes a seat on the floor resting her body against the wall. It doesn't take long as she for her to soon slip off into her own sleep.Her head laying on her knees as she sat across from Nyoka.
