Cross-Over Event: Blind Fruit

Chapter Nine: They waited this Long...

The room the Queen took Sinisa too, was her own quarter's. This was same room Sinisa had been in earlier. The red-haired female said nothing on the journey. She remained quiet for sometime, even after they entered the room. She just smiled after a bit. Then she sat down at the large table and motioned for Sinisa to join her. The silver haired Human just looked around the room confused.

"You are confused. Allow me to explain, what I know." Crimson motioned for Sinisa to join her at the table again.

"Can you read my mind, like the other's?" Sinisa hesitated to join her. The female just smiled at her then looked at the empty chair. Sinisa couldn't help but notice the physical similarities to her own grandmother. Sinisa was close to her grandmother, a woman she admired and called Nana in her youth.

"I have had many lifetimes to refine my mental skill's. I would much prefer to speak with you, however." The Queen stated calmly when Sinisa slowly approached the chair. Then, when she finally sat down, the Queen let out a pleasurable purr. The two females stared at one another for several moments, each studying the others features.

"You're..." Sinisa spoke at the same moment as Crimson.

"There..." Crimson smiled at her Zah'ren, as the Null-Wikca smiled back amused. "You have so many question's. I hardly know where to begin." The female purred softly.

"You should have been Rancor's." Sinisa looked painfully confused. When Crimson giggled Sinisa looked at her annoyed.

"Let me explain...(giggle)... I was not raised as most queens are. We are not born cruel, just hungry. Most queens are raised under the watchful eye of another female. My Sire raised me."

"He knew?" Sinisa asked.

"Why else would he have stayed away so long? He had to make sure I was safe, and I was. I lived in peace for many years, until the messages came."

"I have never heard any of this." Sinisa remarked. It had always been easier to believe Knight was angry with her, it made life with Rancor all those year's less painful. However, this female was sincere, truthful with her even, 'Could she have been wrong, about everything?'

"Sire could never hide anything from me. My abilities where strong even then. Before the message's he did his best to hide his sorrow, however I felt it. Every day he tried to find a way to reach you. When the first message came, it changed everything. Sire started to form a plan.

He was in contact with a Wraith who titled himself... Rancor." Crimson hesitated a moment, she shook her head in agreement with the statement. Even though confused, Sinisa did not stop her from continuing. "They spoke through coded messages for a long time. Before the day, Sire left our village.

ClothMaker was a wise and old Wraith. He stayed with me, so I was never alone. He spoke of you often, so fondly. They both did, when I was young. They told me you sacrificed everything to keep me safe. It was not until Sire returned with you, that I learned the truth. You sacrificed everything for him." The Queen took in a long tone-full breath.

"I did not know." Sinisa felt ashamed. What the female told her made sense in some strange way, but it still was all a bit far-fetched. 'If everything Crimson said was true, then she should have left with Knight, when she had the chance. Why did she ever save Rancor? Her decisions cost so much.'

"Zah'ren... Your decisions kept me safe, allowed me to become a Queen. They allowed me to give life, to young of my own." Crimson was cautious with her word's.
