Purple Magic

Chapter 5

"Xelqua, come with me," was the only thing Zena said as she pulled Grian with her. Zena was unnaturally silent and tense, never a good sign with Zena. You see, she built up anger in the time she was silent and Grian knew that well enough.

Grian knew he did wrong, he knew he'd been stupid but he didn't think he'd been stupid enough to suffer Zena's wrath. 

Zena led him through a corridor all too familiar; the bedroom they shared years ago. Why was she leading him here? This wasn't where Grian was usually yelled at.

She sat on her bed and gestured for Grian to sit right next to her. Panic rushed through him, energizing him far more effectively than coffee ever could. In fact, the most awakening thing in Grian's day was this talk. 

Oh, how much, and how loud Zena could scream.

"You're a dork," she started dangerously, non-verbally telling Grian that the worst will happen "An idiot, a stupid idiot. I would have killed you but mom wouldn't let me..."

Grian backed away and looked scared. Any minute now, Zena would yell her head off and begin to threaten him with death.

"YOU NEVER WROTE HOME, YOU NEVER TOLD ME OF THE LUNATIC WHO LITERALLY MURDERED ZAXIN. YOU ARE SO STUPID. YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME, I WOULD HAVE HELPED YOU."

Grian wanted to comment on how he would need helping now. Being alone with angry Zena was no joke, but it was dangerous to provoke angry Zena.

"YOU COULD HAVE DIED, YOU COULD HAVE BEEN TORTURED! DO YOU WANT TO END UP LIKE THE TRAITOR?!"

For Grian Zena's rants never seemed to end. Oh, boy he got himself in a mess.

"I HONESTLY WOULD HAVE MURDERED YOU AND DUMPED YOU IN A WELL IF THAT LUNATIC HADN'T BEEN THREATENING TO DO THAT,"

Well maybe he could blank out and not have to listen to this...

"DON'T YOU DARE LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT! YOU COULD HAVE DIED! ZANIX ALREADY DID DIE! A LOT OF YOUR FRIENDS DIED! YOU THINK I WANNA LOSE YOU NOW DO YOU?! I'VE ALREADY LOST DAD AND WE'VE LOST ONE WATCHER TO THEM!! I'D HAVE THOUGHT YOU HAD ENDED UP LIKE HIM!!!"

Zena inhaled and exhaled, trying to calm herself. She tried to remove all thoughts of murdering Grian. This was extremely difficult for her.

When Grian was sure Zena was done, he had a question on her mind. "Who are you talking about? What traitor?"

Zena sighed as though she was trying to let some stuffed-away emotions and memories. "Never heard the story, have you?"

Grian shook his head. Zena sighed again and pinched the bridge of her nose. She really didn't want to tell him but she would run in fire to see Grian happy. She had some serious mood swings. Well that will never change.

"Some time ago," started Zena "there was a Watcher. He lived with his twin sister right here, in the Facility. He was one of the fighters of our ranks. In fact so was his sister. I believe she's still working among us. So anyway this Watcher, I believe his name was Xaphan, he fought bravely beside us and he was loyal to mom.

"One day he did something no one ever thought he'd do. He betrayed us and joined the Voidwalkers. His sister felt the most betrayed of all. They were inseparable until that one time."

Grian didn't know what to say. He couldn't imagine Zena betraying him or vice-versa. He felt angry at a Watcher he'd never met. He wanted to do something to this Watcher.

"What was his player name?" asked Grian. Every Watcher was given a player name as they joined a world and players were given Watcher names when they joined the Watchers.

"I don't remember, I believe it was..." she thought about it for a moment then her face lit up, remembering what this Watcher's player name was.

"Xisuma"
