How To Become An Ancient

My sister didn't have to die the way she did. I never questioned the world around me until it was too late. Too late to do anything, I just stood there wishing I did something to stop it. There's blood on my hands for failing her. Blood of a so-called "Ancient," it makes me sick to my stomach. The steps to become something you don't want, even if it's in your blood.-Sybil

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With Sorrianna, Vira, and Madison

Sorrianna: Vira you don't have to do this!!

Vira: Relax, I've seen her face wearing another face to be precise. The mother of my rival Kaine.

How I loathe her, but you decided to help my family.

Madison: You must be the one who's one-sided.

Vira: Funny coming from you since you got rejected also.

Madison charges forward to try and kick her stomach. Vira dodges and kicks her back.

Both stand their ground.

Vira: Madison, why are you even here ?

Vira: I'm here because of my family but you-

Madison : I'm here for pleasure ...

Alexster: How did she kill you?! Now that I know, it was Sorrianna who did it. Vira don't hurt her or your family... remember.

Vira: I stand down, but I will not stay here.

Sorrianna laughs out menacingly

Madison: Don't change the subject!!

Sorrianna: You want to make an ancient toy, are going to have to kill them without knowing.

Back when Sorrianna and Madison were young.

Madison was wearing a dress with a long tail, and its color was light blue, while Sorrianna was in a purple dress. Both girls arrived, not knowing why they were both waiting for.

Madison squirms and her mom hits her to stay still.

Sorrianna: Can't stay still like a proper lady? Much to learn and much to lose. Etiquette is key to winning one's heart.

Madison: Etiquette? What is that?

Sorrianna: I will go first and see him.

The man who she should marry and have his children to be queen without questions. His wavy hair, his fair skin, his tall frame. The most beautiful part of him were his light green eyes as he smiled at her.

Alexster: I thought you were Madison, but you...you look very beautiful.

Anxious, he looks at her from the bottom to the top.

Her glowing skin, her hips, her chest, her collar bones, her lips painted and her eyes. Reddish orange hair.

Alexster: You know, you have a different accent.

Sorrianna: I have not said anything to make you hear-

Alexster: Where you are wrong...you said to someone you'll go first. Where are you from?

Sorrianna: Enough about me, you will choose me to marry because I have been harboring feelings for you for a while now. You just don't seem to see me!!

Alexster: For that I'm sorry, Madison has been with me and I -

Sorrianna: Don't say her name!!

Alexster: I admit she is my first love.

Sorrianna: You had a first... love....

Alexster:I want you to not be jealous of her. I will choose who I want to marry.

Sorrianna: I will leave, you seem to be bored with me.

Alexster:I am not bored, I want to know more of you.

Sorrianna opens the door and walks out.

Madison: Oh, you are done !? Alexster how many girls have you seen? She enters the room.

Sorrianna: I will not lose to you!!

Long story short, he kept seeing both of us. I was jealous he couldn't decide who to be with, and that's when I took matters into my hands.

In the private bathroom

Sorrianna choking Madison with her choker.

Sorrianna:I won't lose to you!! Or any girl, you hear me!!

Madison kicks Sorrianna's stomach and slaps her face.

Sorrianna: You aren't going anywhere!! You can't take him away from me. Tackles her down to the floor and stabs her leg down and starts choking her again.

Madison's eyes water, and she's slowly losing strength to fight Sorrianna.

Madison; I... wanted...to…be... friends...but...you...are…a very.... jealous monster-

Her eyes bleed.

Sorrianna: (laughs and gets off her body) I am a very jealous woman... seeing your life go, it was beautiful. No girl shall ever take him away from me, not even our daughters.

Alexster stops Sorrianna explanation.

Alexster: NO !!! DON'T TELL ME YOU, YOU SENT OUR DAUGHTER TO THAT VILLAGE ON PURPOSE!??

Sorrianna: It's just like Madison said, I am a jealous monster. Even to my own flesh and blood, Amelia's death what started it all, as many now know. Pushes Alexster to the wall. You made me do this, all because you rejected me!!

Alexster: Don't make this tougher than it is.

Sorrianna's eyes glow and Alexster, Madison and Vira look at her.

Sorrianna: Nothing happened here, we go back to our lives and separate from my family, Madison.

Madison: I go back, somewhere...

Sorrianna: Now, my love, you will obey me because I am here to help you. Help you get rid of those filthy vexed bloods, FOR OUR DAUGHTER!!!

Alexster: For our daughter!!

Vira in trance :For that daughter...

Sorrianna: Now I know that it's safe for me to rule, my son is already in the hateful eyes of killing vexed bloods. Let's go now, guys !!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With Heiji crawling on the floor to Kaine's room.

Kaine opens her eyes only to hear Heiji struggling.

Kaine: What are you doing here? Are you...

Heiji: That evil ...girl, how dare she do this to you?

Kaine: Who are you? Why are you here to -

Heiji: Don't you remember me? It's me ... That cut you got, I got the same one. What you don't know is that ....

Kaine:Stop trying to get up...

Heiji shows the bandages on his chest going down. Tries to lay next to her, but his cut opens.

Heiji:We were attacked and pierced through, I died first ...so ... I thought, but you landed on me when she stabbed you. Your blood healed me.

Kaine:My blood saved you...(tears going down her face)How is that possible...?

Heiji:You may not remember, but it's true ...we are vexed bloods, and we heal each other when are blood is with another or by kissing.

Kaine: I'm sorry, I can't remember, just thinking about it makes my head hurt....(looks at Heiji).

Don't look at me like that.

Heiji gets on top of Kaine pinning her not to move.

Heiji crying: The fact that we keep being (sniff) separated and always at the time when I want to confess. It's killing me, Kaine!!! Caresses her cheek to dry her tears.

Kaine:Please...don't love me...touches his bandages, it's not worth it, you are bleeding out.

Heiji:I'll gladly die beside you...so you could believe me-

Kaine reaches out to kiss Heiji. While he blushes and kisses back.

Kaine sees his memories

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Daniel: We can't go back there !! She should be safe, the ambush wasn't so bad.

Kyrie:My sister doesn't die so easily.

Heiji: I can't just leave her alone...

Memory from the fountain~

Kaine: Sorry for confusing you with someone else.

Heiji: It's fine, I'm meeting someone here too.

Going to camp and sees Kane enter the showers.

Heiji: Why are you here in the boys camp? You are that girl from the fountain.

Kaine: Just because you saw my naked body doesn't give you the right to just address my name.

Heiji : I only saw you because you didn't close the door. Why hide your gender?

Heiji while training outside the camp

Heiji: Damn it all to hell!! I keep failing her!!(throws sword away)

Daniel: You take this really to the point where you are breaking.

Heiji: You won't understand it, I pledge to her, I would be there until she recovers, but now. She must hate me.

Daniel: She won't hate you, she knew you were going to the front lines.

Heiji: Regardless, I failed her. I can't become the man she needs me to be if I'm not with her!!

Daniel: Trust me Heiji she won't hate you!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With Heiji and Kaede first time meeting each other 

Heiji: I can't believe it is you -

Kaede: I am not Kaine, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

Heiji: How is it that you look just like her?

Kaede: Oh yes, Lord Fellini I am her twin sister, Kareem found me and told me to be here.

Heiji: I think.... I need to go. (walks away)

That same night

Heiji walks to the balcony and sees Kaede there.

Heiji: Do you intend to even act like her ? It creeps me out. You look at the moon just like she did.

Kaede: Do you spy on my sister? How do you know ...

Heiji: Because I stayed and protected her always.

Kaede: Oh right, I'm so sorry -

Heiji: Don't apologize to a mere guard lady -

Kaede: Does it hurt to say her name even if she's not here?

Heiji: I had a silly pledge to her and I went to the front lines.

Kaede hugs Heiji close.

Kaede:You are being too harsh on yourself, and yet you want to protect others. We can be friends, and we will help each other.

Heiji: Thanks for helping me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You must not turn into the ancients. All they promise is a soul separated from your original body.

Orion: I don't understand why not?, he's going to get hurt and if we don't do the ritual he will die!!

Kaine stops reading his memories and pushes him off the bed. Heiji falls flat but is fully healed.

Kaine: Please just go, leave me alone.

Heiji: You can't be serious.

Stands up and walks to the bed.

Heiji: I saw what she did to you, and she will pay twice for it.

Walks out of the room.
