The boys stood there in disbelief, as the old woman played on their minds, the same questions ran through their heads, who was she? What was she? Why weren't they allowed to enter the forest? Where was Shooter? They were so preoccupied that they did not hear the old woman return
And when they finally realised what was happening Jay was already on the black stallion ready to ride away into the forest
"where are you going?" Jason asked up at the boy
"to find my sister" was Jay's only answer as he rode off,
Jason didn't like this at all he had been in that forest once and swore he would never go back and the youngest of his family though not related by blood but a brother still, just rode off into the dark forest to find his sister no matter what the consequences.
When Jay's Grandmother had granted him entrance he swore that he would ride all day and all night if he had to, he would ride until he found his sister. They had been through a lot together and she had tested him in many ways as he had tested her much the same, but they would always protect each other no matter what.
Jay stopped and closed his eyes, and opened his mind as he waited for something to come to him,
but nothing would come he climbed off of the horse and took his shoes and socks off put them in his bag and sent bullet on his way, once again Jay closed his eyes and opened his mind and this time he got something, old memorise of him and his sister when they where younger, they would run around the forest, not caring about the world he admired his sister and never wished bad things on her, they were up a tree hiding but he couldn't remember what from cause they were having so much fun
"Kiai where are you? Kiai why did you run away? Marring me can't be that bad can it?" the little voice cried as the memory flashed to a green field, full of wild flowers with a massive tree on the far side and a small creek running through it, a girl was sitting on the far side of the field under the giant tree, she sang as the small pups of the tribes spirit wolf danced around her playing with each other, in her hands was a small pup, the girl had blood running from her wrist but was concentrating on the pup in her arms and all of a sudden the pup jumped to life and started playing with its siblings
"of course how could i be so stupid " Jay whispered to himself as he set off for the field.
He arrived very quickly due to his inhuman speed and crossed the field to were a small dead pup was nestled in his sisters arms, once again he noticed that she was bleeding then all of a sudden the pup was better he sprang out of her arms and towards his mother
"i thought you couldn't heel anymore" Jay told her quitley she turned around and looked at her brother
"I can as long as i am bleeding, as long as my own blood marks my skin i can" she told him meaning behind her words
"take me home please" she asked him sacredly he looked at her and nodded, as she tried to stand she made it to her feet before falling again straight to the ground, tears spilling over her eyes, Jay raced to her side and hugged her tight while wiping away the tears
"its all right Kiai its all right i wont let anything bad happen to you " he whispered in her ear
He picked her up and noticed a little pouch in her hand she would not let it go and he didn't question it he just ran until he reached the threshold of his new home, he opened the door and walked in not bothering to close it he sat his sister on the large round table in the middle of the room just as the spirit wolf and the pup that she had held walked in
Jay showed his respect to the wolf and the pup as he ran for the first aid kit.
by the time he got back to his sister she was opening the little pouch she had in her hand, Jay sat on the floor knowing what his sister wanted, she slide to the ground and into his lap grimacing as she went, she pulled out the charms that were in her hand and showed them to jay as he gasped.
Knowing what she wanted, he asked fire to come to him and heat the clamp that was in her hand, when it was hot she clamed the charm in his hair and then it in her own as they pray together, begging forgiveness for losing their ways, she fell asleep almost as soon as she buried her head in her brothers shoulder, by this stage he was leaning up against the wall and her arms were around his neck, there was a gap in between their bodies that the spirit wolf and her pup managed to fit in, and they also feel into a deep slumber this left, Jay awake and by himself the only comforting thing was the beat of his sisters heart and the presence of the spirit wolf,
Jay closed his eyes and began to think about everything that had happened in the past two years, he was deep in thought that he didn't hear the footsteps of the people stepping through the threshold
Jason's POV
I was the first to walk into the house, the door had been left wide open which most defiantly meant that something wasn't right.
I walked into the kitchen, the smell of blood filled the room as i looked over at Jay who had his sisters body in his arms blood was everywhere, on the floor and table, and all over Jay's face and up his arms, in his hair was a charm that i swear i had seen somewhere before
"JAY WHAT DID YOU DO?" i screamed at him every one ran to the kitchen and gasped at the sight, shooter and Jay both stood up, a white wolf and her cub stood between them the wolf was snarling at us, Jay and shooter both put their hands on the wolf and she instantly calmed down, just as Jay and Shooter started to panic, they looked between each other, unsure of what to do
"wha-" i was trying to be calm when the door burst open and a strong looking boy that was about 16 stepped inside he ran to Shooter and put his hand on her shoulder, when he pulled it back it was covered in blood
"Kiai we are leaving right now" his voice was calm and level and full of authority
"You Know the rules Rusty don't disobey them please" Jay said sounding equally calm
"Don't you dare talk to me, you are no longer part of the tribe there for you should no longer have anything to do with the spiritual leader yet you do. So don't you dare tell me what to do" the boy Rusty his voice was rising as he talked
"Jay may not have the right to tell you what to do, but he is still part of the tribe, he is my brother and what he is does not matter to me, he is still the same person he was before nothing has changed, and he is right you know the rules Rusty, so don't you ever touch me or insult me because you will suffer the consequences, and i am not all that good with my magic yet, who knows i might accidently kill you " Shooter spoke up shrugging her shoulders at the last bit, she sounded as calm as Jay but had an authority in her voice that i had never heard to me she had always been the timid, scared little girl that i had found in the forest with her brothers body lying across her lap as she whispered, yelled and cried into the sky, I never fully understood what she was saying and i was not going to question it either, neither of them wanted or needed to talk about it they were living their lives as best they could and took nearly everything that we threw at them and they were handling this with out any of our help
"You are not leader yet Kiai you can not tell me what to do, and you never will be leader, you love the dark side to much you love the world of evil, you always have and you always will," Rusty tried to stay calm but could not mange it his voice started to rise "you haven't got any magic it was stripped from you when you became a whore" Jay was about to jump on him i could see it in his eyes the only thing stopping him was the unusual wolf who Rusty had not noticed until then
"What is she doing here with you two trators and how can she be supporting him, he is evil unhuman what did you two do?" he almost screamed at them
"we don't know but apparently we are still part of the tribe and i still have my magic it just took a while, oh and Jay still has his even if he is evil and unnatural" she said poking her tounge at him as a violent wind picked up and took him outside before the door slammed shut.
We were all in shock when we turned to look at the twins that were staring widley at each other and smiling just as wide, then all of a sudden Shooter fell to the ground
