Where Are They Now?

Sabine DeCiur

Interview # 29

Hello, please introduce yourself.

"My name is Sabine DeCiur and whatever anybody tells you, I am not with the Brotherhood of Keys." She flips her long locks over her shoulder.

Some would say you possess physics powers, what have you to say about that?

"I could agree to some extent. For a while I could hear ghosts and see them. I mean, Martin can see into the future, so he has it way worse than me...or better. But I guess you could say that I am able to read messages from birds formations. Other than that, I don't see ghosts anymore..." her voice trails off, she is deep in thought. "Lately I have been studying magic and trying my hand at spells from my parents."

If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?

"As in Reincarnation? I think I would come back as a hawk...or I would want to. But I think I might be close to breaking the reincarnation cycle...after all that nonsense I went through with Gabe and Martin...Karma has to acknowledge that sometime, right?"

Where would you most like to live?

"I love that you asked me this. Growing up with witch doctors as parents, we traveled the world for ingredients to spells and potions and my parents have friends all over the world. I think, if I could pick one of those places to live, it would be Tuscany in Italy. I love how quaint it seems, also, there is so much history there. I would never get tired of it...also, there is a strong ley line there..."

Who is your role model, and why?

"Beyonce. I really like her views on feminism and politics. She is giving black people a voice, but more importantly, she is giving black women a voice and I can get down with that."

Would you consider yourself a leader or follower?

She unconsciously massages the bullet scar on her forehead. "I think I am a leader. I mean, when Gabe came back to life, I had all the initiative. I was a slipstream!" She starts laughing. "Gabe would have told me that joke was dumb."

What is the quality you most like in a man?

I love mystery. I like thinking I know you and then learning something else out about you. Like Martin...did you know that, as cute as he is, he has only ever been with me? And even with me we haven't---I would like it to go off record that Martin confessed to me that he is asexual. He isn't going to see this, is he?"

Your male fans wants to know: Is there even a chance of you ever getting back together with Lucas Martin?

She bursts into laughter. "My male fans," she mulls the phrase over on her tongue before continuing. "You can tell my male fans that they are only a candidate for Sabine if they have saved the world, or have a god given talent for quips. As for Martin...I see myself marrying him--again, is this going on record somewhere, I don't want him to see this, you know what, I take that back, are you still recording? Don't record that."

What is your motto in life?

"'A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for'. Don't do something you know you'll regret, but don't regret something you could have done. Throw safety out the window, chase your dreams. People always forget they can do whatever the hell they want."

So you just finished college. Just what will you be pursuing in life now that you are a college grad?

"Well I am debating going to grad school...maybe for law? But I've been researching purple salt with Nymundra and some other people so that's got me all tied up. The Fraternity pays well for the information...it makes me suspicious. I am glad that I have gotten them to cut down on salt use. I still can't believe they use it at all."

Any long term goal you are working towards?

"Ok, so it's a secret, but I have been taking up ballroom dancing and I am gearing up for my first competition! I am so excited. I'm also very nervous, I'll let you know how it goes."
