Crystal's BackStory

Chapter 7

Hailblaze set the recorder up to show a beautiful store, it had belonged to their family. He held a Lob ball in his other hand as he walked up to his sister.

"Alrighty Crysie. Let's play." Hailblaze giggled.

"You sure? M- Flightspike got pretty angry last time we played in the store." Crystallina shivered at the thought.

"I'll protect ya sis! No one will ever hurt you!" Hailblaze grinned kindly and lovingly at his sister.

"Okay... you're on!" Crystallina grinned excitedly, putting her hands out for him to lob the ball to her. They lobbed the ball back and forth, no issues, having fun laughing and enjoying their time together.

Then Crystallina slipped jumping to get the lob, next thing that was heard was the shattering of glass. Oh no.

"CRYSTALLINA!" Flightspike stomped out of the kitchen, "WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT PLAYING THAT STUPID GAME IN THE STORE?"

"I-I-I um...." Hailblaze growled before standing in front of Crystallina.

"Mom, stop it. It was my choice to play! I convinced her to. She's not at fault here, at all!"

"I don't care Hailblaze! She will be the one punished." Flightspike growled, "Work for me all solar cycle today and next solar Cycle!" Crystallina gulped before nodding.

"Of course, Flightspike." Flightspike threw her an apron before taking off her own and heading up to their home. Crystallina caught the apron and slowly put it on.

"Crystallina you don't have to do that... I'll do it. It was my fault anyway..." Hailblaze basically pleaded, he didn't like Crystallina working and suffering for something he did.

"No no, brother, I have this handled." Crystallina grinned determined to get the job done.

"...Do you know when the shop closes?"

"8 cycles before the 10th megacycle." Crystal said proudly.

"Good..." Hailblaze gazed at his sister, he would never believe she was abused if he didn't know how their mom treated her. He would believe she had the perfect life, that's what he wanted for her, was a beautiful life full of love and peace.
