The Archers Mark (on hold)

Miss Your Family?

  Meanwhile Knives Pov.

This Banquet bored me. The only entertainment I got was noticing both of Star's weakness during her second battle with Mistress. The first was her Division. Second was, well her body. I could tell in the difference of how she handled herself. She was in pain. I could exploit that. And I will. 

I scoffed at myself for an idea like that as I kicked a pebble off the rode as I walked through the forest.

Karen had dismissed or more properly ordered us all to bed too soon. I had far too much on my mind. All of it involving my strategies for tomorrow. What was I to do to get passed Stars raw energy? How would I take on James with his abilities? I have no way to stop it. All on top of another one of my sisters being dead.

I kicked another pebble in my frustration and barely saw as it soared through my dark surroundings. Suddenly I felt uneasy. I stiffened up and carefully moved my hand over to the hilt of one of my many daggers and wrapped my fingers around it.

"Be calm sister." I heard a distant voice state.

I squinted my eyes and pulled my dagger out and quickly released the knife at the voice. I heard a small grunt and saw as a blur came hurdling back towards me. I barely had enough time to register what it was before I was then down on the ground a woman's hand on my head keeping my face in the pavement and my arms wrapped around me.

"Gayh." I yelped as I felt person straddle my back. Pinning me.

"I told you be calm. You need to listen to me." The voice stated again. I grunted and struggled. "Who the fuck ar-" When I was forced back to the ground. My left and right arms pinned up against my back.

"I'm hurt you don't remember your own sisters voice." The voice paused. I closed my eyes failing to struggle. 

No, I know there could only be one person with this voice. But she was dead. Or else Star wouldn't be alive. Could she be alive even if the other lives?

Or could Or could she be what Comet was? If she was how is she grabbing me. This isn't real this is someone else. A very strong opponent but not my sister. Right?  

I quickly shook my body and caught my enemy(?) off guard. I flipped my body around freeing my hands and throwing them behind me and kicked the person backwards. I used that momentum to throw myself up and grab another knife. I quickly approached my attacker. "Who the fuck are..." I stopped and dropped my dagger in shock.

"Surprised?" The voice stated as I stared at her face. 

I shook my head in disbelief as she held out a hand towards me. "Help me up?" She asked with a smirk upon her disgusting face. I shook my hand and retracted my steps. Leaving her there sitting on the ground.

 "But...You..." I stated softly.

"I guess not." She smirked as she propelled herself forward. Landing straight and standing proudly. The moons light shining behind her now hiding what I believe you could call a face. If something that slashed up could be called a face.

"I what?" She asked. I closed my eyes then opened them "You can't be alive. Your dead. Star's said you're dead." I stated to her.

She tilted her head and chuckled. "Oh and how does she prove it? By being alive? Come on sister you should know better. Anyone as sly and cowardly as Star can easily survive and tell a tall tale." My sister turned her head and scoffed, then crossed her arms and looked at me.

"That's not an amazing feat. What is, is how poorly your skills have increased." She stated.

I took a step back and then caught what she said and stepped forward. "What do you know of my skills?" I yelled grabbing my knife and quickly catching her neck. I stopped when a pure low vibration formed in her throat as the tip of my dagger lay right there.
