Harmonics-Out of Sync

Cyion looked down at her siblings. "Come on!" She said her shorter hair flapping in the brisk wind.

          They were climbing a cliff, a large cliff. Of course they weren't supposed to be, at the young ages of 11, 9, and 8 they shouldn't be climbing at all. It had been Cyion's idea she was the oldest, and if she wanted them to climb she had to listen to her. Their parents were off on a well deserved vacation because of the stress of work and kids.

Cyion grumbled at the slowing pace and looked down. Her brother Lyren was helping her younger sister Violta up a harder part of the cliff side. Cyion grumbled more and made it to a flat part of the ledge. She sighed waiting for her siblings as her short legs dangled off the edge. Cyion was eventually met with the calm face of Lyren and the angry face of Violta. Violta's tiny fists were clenched together tight and her dirty face thrust itself in front of the older girls.

"You left me!" Violta's high voice shrieked tears in her big green eyes. Cyion shrugged,"Lyren had it under control."Cyion coolly responded."I could have fallen!" Violta's angry face retorted. "You didn't." "We shouldn't be here anyway! I'm going home!"

The younger siblings started to head down the cliff slowly. Cyion let out a frustrated sigh,'"She always does this why can't she just listen to me, I'm the oldest!" "Just this once though she's right." Lyren spoke up turning to follow. "Fine! We'll go home! You happy?" She yelled at Violta. No one responded. She gritted her teeth and started descending fuming at being under mined.
