It's been darkness. Nothing but darkness for centuries. But now I smell it. Now I feel it. Something- someone is here. I open my eyes for the first time and see them. Two of them. Right in front of me but they do not see me. I am a ghost. Merely a figment, but I am alive. VERY alive. I can feel my blood coursing through my veins and my heartbeat skyrockets as they step closer.
"You can't be here," I say as a warning but they do not hear me. I'm a figment. I'm not real. Why am I here? Why me? Then it dawns on me as they make their way farther back into the ruins of my city, of my fortress, of my cage. But it's not just mine.
"Oh god no," I yell starting to grab at one of them. Instead of making contact my hand runs complete through them. I stop. No. No. No. this can't be happening. She can't be-
"Hello, sister," the cool voice that haunted my every waking moment calls. I spin on my heel to face her. She stands there with her emerald eyes glistening brighter than I remember. I pray that it's only because of the sun or my memory fading but I know better than that.
"Let me go," I snarl and look up at her. She perches on one of the pedestals that somehow managed to be salvaged. She clicks her tongue at me and gives me a pitiful look.
"Is that any way to greet your sister?"
I hiss and hunch my back over ready to attack her. "You're no sister of mine," I growl lowly at her. It's an almost guttural sound coming from the base of my being. She only looks slightly taken aback by my response. We never really got along if that was a question.
I jumped up about twenty feet in the air and threw myself at her at the oncoming of my descent. She simply put her hand out and gave a rather dull look at me and I was frozen mid air. She got up and walked over to me effortlessly as she stood slightly above me. She grabbed my chin and harshly jerked it upward towards her. This motion would've easily broken the trachea of a mortal.
But I am not mortal.
"Oh, Adelphie. You'd think after all these years you'd have learned. This is my dominion," she said her eyebrow quirking upward. It was true. I knew it but here I was trapped for centuries under her rule. Until now. In this world we do not know which planet or which Universe we are going. God be with her if it were mine.
She finally takes her hand away from my face and drops her other hand signaling my release. I hit the ground swiftly and it crumbles beneath me. "Kaya we were not meant to-," I'm cut off by her hand coming to my throat once more. Of course it wasn't the act of grabbing my throat that silenced me. It was her mind deflecting my speech patterns. The act is merely habit from her time spent in the human world.
"Did I say you could speak," she spat.
"You will not control me," I stumbled over my words but I know she heard me as her snarl grew. Her teeth were out. Behind her human facade she had the teeth of a shark. Only the first row was human esq.
"I do and I will," she said letting the skin on her knuckles slit apart. It was then I realized the mistake I made. Despite the fact that my powers were as unmatched as hers- if not more so- this was her domain and I was trapped inside this prison cell.
Suddenly I wished that the people I'd tried warning early would hurry up. Hopefully they'd be dumb enough to move it. The one thing that stood in the way of the two most powerful spirits in all of the universes besides the creators. The stone.
It stood there for centuries before us and once held back the human form of God. Now it holds back the beasts that could put an end to the apocalypse. Despite our unmatched power God decided to give us free will as well. My sister, much like the Olympic Greek Gods wanted to overthrow our father.
