-Carmen's POV-
I put the charm bracelet around my wrist, feeling the power from the magic wand.  I embraced it, harnessed it, prepared to use it.  But, before I did, there was someone who I wanted to watch.  I walked into Dad's bedroom.

"Hey Dad, come look."  Dad got up with a groan and followed me back into my and Thorn's room.  A grin split across his face when he found out what was happening.  Thorn went to run, but I used her vines against her, rooting her into place.

"Fool!"  Thorn yelled.  She lunged for the bracelet, but I kept it out of her reach, relishing every moment of what was happening.  Dad settled down on Thorn's bed, watching the scene.

"Actually, I think you're the fool here.  But... there's a couple things I want to know first."  I replied.

"Oh?  And you think you'll get any answers out of me?  Pathetic!"  Thorn snapped.  I shrugged to say as you wish, and a fireball appeared in my hand.  I took aim, but Thorn interrupted me. 

"Okay, okay, fine!  Just... what do you want to know?"  She asked with a sigh.  The fireball disappeared.

"I had a sister.  Where is she?"  I asked.

"She's staying on campus with a few friends of hers."  Dad answered for Thorn.  Considering I trusted him more anyways, I was fine with taking it from him instead of Thorn.

"This charm bracelet.  Where did you find it?"  I asked.

"When I moved into your room, I found it on your dresser.  It didn't look like it had been worn in a long time, so I decided to give it a new home."  Thorn admitted.  I nodded, acknowledging her answer.

"Alright.  One more question."  I said.  I hadn't planned on asking it, but the memory of my blood sister brought it to my mind.

"If I let you go, will you leave us alone?"
