Chapter Six

It's been a fairly easy six months since my Father got turned to dust, I don't miss him at all, he had it coming. But Eno has been in a rough patch as of late, Nicole and I do what we can to take his mind off things but it's not that simple, due to his status in the city, whatever happens in his family is shown on the news. His sister, Elynore, wants to see Eno out of power, so they've been placed before the Council of 50 to face judgment, they voted in favor to Eno. This, of course, angered Elynore, she tried to use the fact that Eno killed their father, but they didn't say anything to that since that case has already been closed as an accident. However that process doesn't take a few days, it takes months, I don't think she'll be stopping soon. I sit up on my bed looking over to Nicole, I throw my pillow at her, "Wake up! We're meeting with Eno today, remember he said he has a surprise for us." She waves her right arm,

"Just give me five minutes..." I sigh getting up from bed, going to my dresser, I take out blue jeans, a white shirt, bra and panties, as well as socks, I place them on my desk chair. I grab my towel and take a quick morning shower. Once done I wrap myself I my towel before heading to my room I hear cooking and small talk,

"Mom? Are you making breakfest?" I ask poking my head out from around the corner to look into the kitchen, but I didn't see my mom, Eno was making breakfest with Nicole, she turns and comes over to me, I back into the hall so Eno doesn't see me, "Nicole, what the hell? Why didn't you tell me he was here?" I whisper slightly angered,

"Hey, I knocked on the door to tell you but you didn't answer." She smirks, "What are you embarrassed or something?" I didn't answer, I only shoved her slightly before retreating back, not allowing her to see my face flushed with embarrassment, into my room quickly closing the door as I do. After putting my clothes on, a simple white shirt with gray stars around it and blue jeans, after brushing my hair I go to the kitchen, Eno and Nicole are sitting at the table, my mom is inspecting the dishes making sure Eno did a good job cleaning after himself, I guess.

"Morning all." I say as I snatch a piece of toast from Nicole's plate,

"Morning Sarah." Everyone responded at the same time, I lean against Eno's chair eating Nicole's toast,

"So where's my breakfest?" I ask poking his head, he just points to the microwave, I open the microwave to find, my favorite, peanut butter and banana sandwich sitting on a plate, I take it and sit down across from Eno, before taking a bite I ask, "So what's wrong that you aren't talking to me?" He looks at me, he looks as if he hadn't slept in days, while I bite into my sandwich, he says,

"Elynore is killing me, she won't accept the facts, Father left everything in my name, she refuses to believe it. I just came from speaking with the Council, she didn't show, they gave me a choice, force her out, or turn her to dust." I stop before taking another bite, he cotinues, "I don't want to turn her to dust, even if she damaged me, it was an accident, I can forget accidents, but the Council see's it as a direct disregard for anothers Soul, as true as that my be, no matter how she see's me now, I still see my sister. I don't know what to do, they want an answer by tonight. If I don't give them one they'll cast her out." As he talked I finished my sandwich,

"What do you mean, "cast her out"?" Nicole asks, I was just about to ask that myself, he looks at both of us, somewhat not believing that we don't know,

"You seriously know don't know?" We shake our heads, "When someone is sent out, their Soul is taken from them and they are sent out to Badlands, you know, the land just south of the city, a treacherous land with vicious creatures that will attack any who dares to step foot, if she gets sent out there she'll be ripped to pieces..." He stops for a moment, "You see, what happens to the Soul is carried to the body, but what happens to the body does not carry over to the Soul, meaning she'll be mauled again and again, never to return. How could you guys not know this was a..." He stops for a moment again, "That's right, they don't air that kind of judgment to the world.. It's not something to be proud of.." My mom walks over to him,
