The Keepers Daughter: A Mcd Fanfic (COMPLETED)

chapp 12

Hey guys! I'm back!
My roommates sucked.
But it was so FUN

When Aaron and I got to Falconclaw, we were both crying a little bit.
After what seemed like a million years of silence, he spoke.
"Curious... If you knew that your sister was in my village... then why didn't you take her?"
"Simple. She would've been in much more danger with me, and I saw how happy she was. She loved it here, I would feel so bad taking her away."
"She went through a lot of pain, between Xander and trying to find you and your mom and your other sister. I mean, i understand completely, but Why did you put her through that?"
"She would've been much safer with you. I couldn't bear the thought of her in danger. It...it hurt. But it was for the best."
"I would do the same thing."
"Knew you would understand."
We trudged through the ruins, the crumbling buildings, until I found something that made my heart swell.
It was a picture.
Jacob, Celeste, and Lily (Aarons wife) along with a young woman.
"Was this..." I said between sobs of happiness.
"Yes. Her name was Yuki..."
"Was she nice?"
"Yes."
I was so happy, to know that Celeste was adopted, and had a better life than what we could give.
"Her... grave?" He guessed.
"Please."
I lay the picture back. I already have one.
We walked to the graveyard. The Graves were everywhere. After stumbling upon hundreds of hundreds of Graves, I saw it.
Celeste Kelsey Ramirez.
Age 6
May her soul rest in peace

I sobbed, and Aaron stepped back, giving me the clear space I needed.
"Celeste. I'm so so so so sorry. I'm sorry you were born in this life. I'm sorry I left you and didn't say anything. That I didn't even tell you why I couldn't take you. That I put you through the pain that you had. That you couldn't have been born into a easier life. Maybe born here, with Yuki. Maybe you could have had Lily as well. You two could've been happy, and not have suffered like you did. Maybe you both wouldn't be dead. Maybe I wouldn't be left completely alone, with all fault on Xander. I'm so sorry that I wasn't a good sister. That I didn't just kill Zane. That you are here, when you could be somewhere else. I love you, and no matter where you are, or where I am, I will always be your sister."
"And I yours."
I turned around in fright, a knife drawn. Before me, stood the thing I had feared most. My weakness. My Achilles Heel.
My sister.
She was a spectere, a ghostly shell of who she once was. She wore a plain dress with dirt splotches on it.
"Loki, I will always love you, and I never was mad at you. I don't want you to be in pain. Sadly, I'm trapped here, but spiritually, I will always be with you. I always have been."
I embrace her in a hug.
"It's been too long."
She nodded.
Turning around, she looked at Aaron, who had an emotion mixture of pure terror and happiness for us.
"Mister Aaron! Jacob and Lily want to see you."
"Wh-what?"
"Yep! Jacob misses his daddy. He says that to me everyday."
"Please Celeste, take me to them."
"You got it!"
We walked to a crippled house falling apart at the seams.
"They're in there." Aaron runs in the house, not saying another word.
"We should stay out here, as he did with you and me."
I nodded. We stayed outside.
"Celeste. If you are truly stuck in this place... what if me and Aaron came back? With a priest?"
"Are you talking about an exorsism?"
"If you don't want to-"
"ID LOVE THAT!"
Aaron steps out of the house, with Lily and Jacob.
"I've  missed you." Lily says to Aaron.
"Me as well."
Celeste looked up at me. "Y'wanna go on a walk? Around the town?"
"Can I come?" Jacob asks.
"Yep. Let's go." I say.
I've never been this happy before. To see my sister was happy and ok.
"So. How's life?"
Hmm, how's life? Well, the village I'm currently staying in is in terrible danger, the Shadow Lord among other people want to kill me, and Zane's about to call war on Pheonix Drop.
"Life's ish." I respond.
"OK. Guess what me and Jacob found yesterday?"
"What?"
"A skeleton!Agghhhhhhhh!" Jacob shouts.
"Can I see?" I ask, eagerness creeping into my voice.
"Su-LOKI WATCH OUT!" Celeste screams.
Before I can respond, my head is smashed onto the ground, and I black out with pain.
