two siblings, one together

The Insolence

Robby, Cerena, Lily, and Austin were in the temple as Robby looked at the three. "We will go downstairs first and clear the path for the rest of the group." He said. Cerena grins. "Sounds good! How hard can it be?" She asked. "Well let's go!" Lily shouted. "Also, I forgot to mention there may be traps laying around." Robby added. "Wait what-" "YoU'rE tElLiNg Us ThIs NoW?!" Austin interrupted Cerena and Lily. "Austin calm the fuck down-!" Cerena said as he rolled his eyes. "fInE."

"Well then.. This is quite a big lab for a single person..." Cerena noted. "nO sHiT." Austin replied. Before the both of them could do anything else, they heard a scream that sounded like... "LILY!" Cerena yelled, dashing to where she heard the scream. "mArIe- ShIt-!" Austin chased after her, only to stop when they saw...a infected spider...standing over Lily's limp body...Cerena felt like she was going to throw up any second. They both stood there, in both fear and confusion. It was then the infected spider turned towards the two...and spoke. "FRESH....MEAT...." It said in a gargled voice so it was very hard to tell what it said...but then it rushed towards the two, only to get knocked back by Robby, just seeing the thing try to charge at them quickly snapped Austin out of it, grabbing Cerena's arm and making a run for the exit. Thankfully, before Lily died, she unlocked the escape route for them. He took one last glance at Lily's limp body...it looked like she was eaten alive by that infected spider, it's name carved into her chest, 'Spiderella' was what it read. Austin nearly froze to the spot upon seeing what the infected spider, Spiderella, did to Lily's corpse. But he shook his head and dragged Cerena to the exit.

"Cerena? Austin? Are you two okay? Where's Lily?" Pony asked. "Yup- yyyyyyyup-! We TOTALLY fine! We TOTALLY didn't see Lily's DEAD BODY!" Cerena was CLEARLY panicking, she felt sick to her stomach, if she had one. "CaLm DoWn, MaRiE-" "NO! I SAW MY FRIEND'S DEAD BODY, EATEN BY- BY THAT THING! HOW THE FUCK AM I GONNA CALM DOWN?!" Cerena yelled before Austin could finish what he was saying. It was...clearly strange on how they both felt lightheaded, even though they didn't lose blood at all. "i SaId CaLm DoWn, MaRiE! wE cAn StIlL mOvE fOrWaRd WiThOuT tHeM-!" Austin said. "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" Cerena yelled, lunging at him. Her eyes were no longer white but black as her once red pupils turned orange. He was about to say something until he felt the darkness suddenly consume him whole.

Both of them woke up in some sort of mindscape. "wHaT tHe...?" "Where are we?" Both of them were confused until they saw...Bunny? "ThE hElL?" Austin was clearly confused, however Cerena was...scared to say the least. "No... this is a trick. I know it's not real... these hallucinations need to stop, Get out of our heads, get out of our heads!" She yelled, shaking her head. "Cerena! Austin! You're both awake!" 'Bunny' spoke. Austin was a bit frightened but still confused...how the hell did it know his name? "No, I'm not listening... you're not real!" Cerena yelled, holding her head as 'Doggy', 'Zizzy', and 'Lily' appeared, circling the two. "Leave us alone! I'm tired of these tricks!" She added. "Are you sure about that?" A voice said as the illusions disappeared from view. "wHo SaId ThAt?!" Now it was Austin's turn to be scared. Both of them then spotted the unknown figure. "What are you...?" Cerena was nearly hiding behind Austin as the figure spoke. "Tell me, do you both recognize this?" A illusion of the school sewers appeared. Both of them nod. "Yeah, the school sewers. But, how did you-" "How about this?" The figure interrupted Cerena as a illusion of the plant appeared. "Yes, that's the plant, you still haven't-" "Then what about this?" The figure interrupted Cerena again as a new illusion appeared...it looked to be a type of room Cerena never seen before...but Austin knew it clearly well as he stared in disbelief. "ThE...sEvEr RoOm...?" He muttered in disbelief as the illusions disappeared. "We are in both Marie's and your memories, Austin Sanders, It's not the first time you've both been here." The figure spoke, gripping Austin's shoulder as he didn't move. Cerena was just confused. "Let me get this straight. So at the plant... while I wasn't in control during the time I didn't have memories, you did that? Why?" She asked the figure as it let go of Austin's shoulder and spun around to face her. "The memories, the hallucinations, the whispers.... You see, I've been... fascinated by you and Austin for quite a while. You're both unique, Marie Sanders." It spoke. Cerena was getting a bit furious but managed to keep it under control. "One, don't call me 'Marie Sanders', only my family can call me that. And two! You're calling us unique? Have you seen yourself? Besides, while Austin is well, you know. I'm just an ordinary person in this messed up world." She said. "Incorrect. You're both extraordinary, and not like the others. Austin was supposed to be dead forever. You're supposed to be infected. He was killed by a certain 'Henry Morris'. You were attacked at the Piggy residence. But you're both not. You're both alive. You've... both been given second chances... or third in HIS case." It spoke, gripping Austin's shoulder again...he was still unmoving. It looked like seeing a memory of where he died really shocked him to the core. "So what? What do you want from us?" Cerena asked as the figure let go of Austin's shoulder again. "Don't you see? You're both immune to the infection. You both have much potential to do things beyond your understanding. I can help him reunite with his family again..." It leaned closer to Cerena. "And I can help you see your friends again." It concluded. Cerena just shook her head. "Sorry, but no. I don't trust you. For all I know your just trying to trick us into doing things we don't want to do." She said. "Are you rejecting my offer?" It spoke as she nodded. "Yes I am, because we're never going to fall for any tricks you have up your sleeve." She said with a grin, thinking she was smart in doing this. The figure turned away from the both of them. "Hm. So be it. They're always stubborn at first. Then, when they have no one left, they come right back to me." It glanced at the two. "I have but one thing to leave you two with; stay out of my business. If you both continue to follow your current path, you both will live to regret it." It said. "I would like to see you try, you fu-" "ShUt Up." Cerena quietly looked over, seeing Austin tremble for the first time... "JuSt ShUt Up..." He glared at the figure, his pupils were pinpricked slits. For the first time, he was terrified, covering it up with anger and rage. "AnD lEaVe Us ALONE!" He yelled, aiming a punch at the figure-

Wait. Why was he on top of Cerena? Why were there black tar stains on her face, coming from her eyes? Nothing didn't add up. "Can...can you get off me?" She asked. "fInE- fInE- sOrRy-" Austin said as he got up and off of Cerena, helping her up. "Was that sibling rivalry at it's finest or what? If we find a camera, you two gotta do that again." Willow said. "I am...not sure at this point." Cerena admitted. Pony looked at them, worried and concerned. "Let me guess... you've both seen him too, haven't you?" He asked. "Yeah, I...never really seen my brother break down like that. But who WAS that guy?" Cerena asked, just as confused as Austin was. "I don't know. All I know is that he's been messing with my head ever since my mind went weak, and that his fashion sense is just as strange himself. Judging by how he's been more and more direct with us, I think it's safe to say he doesn't like what we're doing." He said. "Wait how'd you meet him?" Cerena asked. "After I did... certain things in T.S.P, my mind shrouded with guilt. He used that as an opportunity to get in my head. He offered me the ability to see my family again. That's how he tries to control you and use you for his own reasons... with his wicked bribes." Pony stated. Austin was...shocked, because it was what 'he' offered to him too. "Speaking of your family, have you told them what you've done?" Willow asked Pony. "Now's not the time, Willow. We need to find that cure." Pony stated. "Can we- like- not?" Cerena tried to say. "They deserve to know the truth, Pony. If you don't tell them, I will do it myself." Willow spoke to Pony, ignoring Cerena. "Okayy." Cerena sighed. "You told me to do it, Willow! I didn't want to do it!" Pony spoke, nearly yelling at Willow. "Hey, hey! Let's all settle down. We're so close to finding what we came here for." Mimi said, breaking up the fight. Cerena was thankful for that. "Thank god." She sighed. "I will stay behind and protect the children. It is my duty to do so." Robby spoke. "I am not a child-!" Cerena attempted to protest. "Hey, no fair! I've been on crazier journeys before. I'm going! It's what my family would've wanted." Georgie said. "Yeah, us too! Our big sister is counting on us. We're not gonna let some cute robot stop us now!" Zuzy said. "What is it with you and thinking robots are cute?!" Cerena face palmed. "We want you four to be safe. We can't guarantee that out there." CB decided to speak. "Have you even SEEN how overprotective Austin is over me?!" Cerena said towards CB. "HeY-" "I'm agreeing with CB, Cerena." Mimi said, not even noticing how she interrupted Austin. "Come on, CB and Mimi! Zee and Zuzy broke us out of a cell through a dangerous sewer system! I don't think even I could do that!" Pony said. "I would say Lily too but...yeah she...she's dead." Cerena quietly said. "So you're the rascals responsible for that? I'll admit, I'm impressed." Willow stated. "And don't forget about Georgie, he survived the infection on his own in the city alone for a while, and came with me and Clowny to confront Mr. P during the time I had no memories whatsoever! If anything, you guys are safer with us around." Cerena admitted. "Well..." Mimi was thinking about it. "If we find any cool tech, it's all yours!" Georgie said. "Fine. Just don't tell Zizzy when we get her back!" Mimi said. It was Austin's turn to face palm. He seriously did not think that would work. "Bye-bye, Robby!" Zuzy said as the group leave Robby behind and continued going forward. Mimi's radio turned on.

"Mimi, do you read? There's something going on at the outpost ahead... you're gonna want to hear this."
