my sisters keeper

Sapphire POV

I think that there’s a moment in every person’s life when your life flashes before your eyes. When you realize how precious life is. Where you say to yourself” there are so many things I never got to do.” This was that moment. I had to brave. I had to show no fear. “Where the FUCK is my sister at?” I make it known to Drake I am not the same woman he knew months before. “Ahh little Sapphire has finally got some guts. I probably wouldn’t have slapped you around if had known you could be a woman. Not some whining little girl.” That smirk is back. “Where is my sister Drake there will be no more chances after this one.” I say to him. I can feel the energy in my body charging ready for battle. I calm my nerves to make sure when I begin to attack the flow of energy is constant. But I’ve never been in battle. And I’m pregnant. In that moment I remember my back. I take a step back and place my hand on my belly. “I see you’ve been busy you whore. I’ll feel much joy in kicking that freak of a baby out of your stomach.” That son of a bitch says to me. My veins are pumping. No one threatens my family, and definitely not my child. My whole body is shaking. The picture and other items in the wall begin to tremble. “What the hell is she?” drake whispers to his men. And now it’s my turn to smirk. With the nod of my head drakes body goes slamming into a wall. The other five rush me. The first few fire balls I shoot are small in size but they wound the men enough for me to gather the energy I need to burn them alive. Flicking my wrist 5 times in five different directions all of the men are no more. The fire burns their bodies and I hear screams of agony. For a brief second I feel disgusted with myself. But then I remember they came here for blood. Mine. Taking slow strides towards Drake I see the panic in his eyes. I threw his body against a wall and held him there with the power of my mind that my grandmother helped bring to the surface. “I’m going to ask you again. Where the FUCK is my sister?” he is scared. “Baby please I didn’t want to do it. You know I always loved you. Someone has already taken her to the underworld. They are hoping to bring you down there for a fight. See baby you can trust me.” The words just came tumbling out of his mouth. I look at the man I once loved. The man who I shared so many nights with and realize It wasn’t love. He came here to take my baby from me. So I will take his life from him. I concentrate on his neck. I see his spinal cord and with a nod of my head his neck is immediately broken. It’s still a more humane death than he deserves. Stepping back I’m exhausted. Not having Cassie here to draw energy from I can barely walk. Feeling warm liquid sliding down my leg I realize I’m bleeding between my legs. There’s a pain that’s radiating from my back thru my stomach down my legs. I scream out collapsing onto the ground. My breathing is becoming irregular. I pray that my baby survives this. Just as the darkness comes to consume me I hear Zaire faintly calling my name.

Cassie POV

Watching my sister waddle away brings a smile to my face. I can’t wait until our little prince gets here I plan on spoiling him as much as possible. I hear a shuffling noise behind me. I do not call out because I assume it Sapphire. After a few moments I turn around and there this weird feeling in the air. I begin to try to send my emotions to Sapphire I need her to get out of here. But then I am suddenly grabbed from behind and have a cloth placed over my mouth and nose. My eyes get heavy and no matter how hard I try I fall into a deep sleep.

Waking up I hear voices all around me. I try to sit up when I realize I’m chained to a bed. My arms and legs handcuffed to each poster on the bed. “Sleeping beauty had decided to join us.” I hear a voice say to me. Whipping my head around I come face to face with a man whose eyes look completely void of life. He’s a staggering height and build. I’m hoping this is not the one they call Silas and I am not in the underworld. “You don’t have anything to say? I though I’d have to shut u up by force. This is no fun if they don’t fight.” With that he punches me in the stomach. I feel as though I cannot breathe from the force of it. “I barley manage to squeak out “where is my sister.” My concern is not for myself but for her. “The bitch seems to have killed my men. No worries, she will come for you and your pathetic mother. I’ll get my chance with her.” Hearing him speak of my mother my eyes get wide. He notices this and motions a man by the door and in walks my mother. I feel like this has got to be a dream. This has got to be. She looks miserable. Her skin, eyes, hair are dull. She has bruises all over her body and a slight limp in her walk. But as soon as our eyes connect tears begin to fall. And I know it a mixture of happiness of seeing me and sadness as to the circumstance. “Isn’t this nice? A family reunion. It will be complete when we get your sister here. But I need to send a message to her just in case she has no clue who has you both. The only problem I have is whose body will arrive on her door step.” All I can feel is horrified. He wants one of us dead. And there’s no way out of this. “We are going to play a little game my pretty ladies. Called who can withstand the most torture. The first to die wins! Set them up boys.” Two men come and uncuff me from the bed while I fight the whole time. Kicking, punching, and biting I’m trying to get free. But the hold they have on me is one I cannot escape. So I decide to save my energy for what’s to come.

We are now in some sort of basement chained up to chairs. They have us facing each other. We’ve just been  left alone and my mother is the first one to speak. “it’s all my fault Cassie. I failed you. If I wouldn’t have been scared, if I would have listened to my mother and let fate play out you girls would have been prepared.” She had a steady stream of tears coming down her face. I take in her words. And I can’t help but feel to a certain degree she is right. It’s not her fault but if she would have prepared us, had faith we could do this we would have been slightly more prepared. “Mom I don’t blame you. You thought you were protecting us but this isn’t your fault. This is about one sick twisted man’s plot for power. No matter what happens know that Sapphire and I love you so much. And if this is my day to die I’m glad I’m doing it by your side.” Now it’s my turn for the tears I meant every word I said to her. “I love you Cassie. And whatever you do hold out longer than me. She needs you. I am willing to die for you. Please be willing to live for me.” She whispers. And with that in walk the devil himself. “LET THE GAMES BEGIN”
