<I'm not ready.>" Morgana sighed walking across the lab floor. She had revived a message from someone she knew from a while back. The young women in the labs coat sighed as she leaned back against the table as she fixed her glasses.
"It's not for right now. It's just for when you wanna know." The scientist stated in Basic. Morgana rolled her blue eyes. Morgana rolled her eyes as she looked back up at the 23 year old women with blue hair and grey skin.
"Look Opal we all know you wanna know what I am but, I don't." The young girl stated sitting on a table across the room so that she was facing the night sister. Opal glared at her with her blue eyes.
"Why not? Don't you ever wonder why you have fangs or why you have purple eyes or-" Opal didn't finish her sentence.
"Isn't that what you've been asking since we were kids when you remember your mom used magic when you couldn't. Look, you lived with me for awhile. You know I stopped asking long ago." The girl sighed looking at the ground as she kicked her legs back and forth. She pretended she couldn't see Opal running around her lab to grab a packet sheet. Sometimes Morgana missed the old days when it was just her brother, Marlin, Opal and her. Those times were much simpler. There was less things to worry about back then. Yet, kids used to pick on her calling her things like fanged freak or monster. Opal always stood up for her just like her brother and adopted father did. This didn't stop Opal from wondering things like why that storm trooper let her live while they destroyed the rest of her species.
"M I know you wanna know why you were all alone t-" Opal was cut off again.
"Stop talking Opal. This won't end well for you or me if you continue."
"Don't you want to know why you were left in that a-"
"Stop it."
"Alley w-"
"I am warning you."
"Way by yourself when you were three days old sister."
"We both know why."
"Then why were you left there th-"
"CAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT ME OPAL! NO ONE WANTED ME THEN! EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER WANTED HAS DIED! THAT'S WHY I CUT OFF ALL CONTENTIONS WITH PEOPLE! THAT IS WHY I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN MONTHS! IF I DO WE ALL KNOW YOU'LL DIE!" Morgana screamed at her sister. Opal looked at the fourteen year old. Morgana put her head down and refused to look at her. She didn't want her sister's pity. It seems a bit dumb now but, it meant everything to Morgana at this moment. Then, she got something she didn't expect. A hug from her sister.
"M, they might have done it for you. Plus we both know dad died because of his choices. As for Galen, he died protecting his family. Protecting us. So stop thinking that I'm gonna die. Stop thinking that everyone you love is gonna die. It isn't going to happen because of you. So please don't cut me off any more. Let me be part of your life." Opal whispered in her sister's ear. Morgana hugged her sister back but, refused to cry. She didn't do that anymore.
