Rewriting the Truth [5]

Worry and Guilt

She shut her eyes and the green light shone, she opened them again and faced the truth of reality, she had just witnessed someone die, she had watched unable to help, why, why was this plaguing her.

"Frieda," Ogron said taking his sister's hands, "focus on me, right here right now, nothing else matters, look at me."

Lila watched in sadness "Frieda you can't blame yourself for what's happened, why you saw it, I don't know," the lie was small, but it was there, Lila had a feeling she knew how Frieda saw Vivian's death, after all she had told the third part of the prophecy, the part that no one heard, except her and Selina.

That was one of the biggest mistakes Lila had made for Selina had heard the dark side of the prophecy, the part saying it was possible to break the second prophecy, that if the savior was devoured by guilt the original prophecy would break and darkness would rule.

That death, death would haunt the savior, and she won't be able to stop it, the fact the she was saved but others weren't. Lila knew that Selina was trying to break the prophecy, originally by trying to kill Frieda, but what if.... what if Selina remembered this prophecy, what if she tried to use it against Frieda, worry and fear filled through Lila, "everything will be okay."

Another lie, she didn't know if everything would be okay, was she even okay, her sister had just died... Lila wished she got to know her sister more, she left home when her sister was still so young. She left to protect them.... protect them, yeah Lila said to herself shakily and where did that end up for Vivian.

Frieda looked up at her brother and Lila, as the green light daunted in her mind, "I didn't only see Vivian," Frieda said quietly as she traced the scar on her right wrist; "I saw my father and mother's death as well, why is this haunting me?"

"I feel bad enough, to witness it and not have been able to do anything, but it keeps on playing over and over inside my head, it wants to torture me! I can't keep seeing it, I don't want to keep on seeing it!" The plea was filled with desperation, as sadness filled Frieda and her eyes watered.

The green light shone brighter in her mind and Frieda gripped her head as she clenched her eyes. "Just go away," Frieda begged inside her mind, "disappear and leave me be." The light remained yet dimmed slowly Vivian's limp body laid before her, Frieda gasped as she forced her eyes open.

"I'm so sorry, listen to me only worrying about myself, how selfish can I be, you just lost your sister!" Frieda said standing up, "yet all I could think about was myself!" Frieda's mind was throbbing, she needed fresh air, she needed to get out of here, she ran to the door and thrust it open before running outside.

"Frieda! We have to go after her," Lila said as she walked towards the door.

"No!" Ogron said grabbing Lila's hand, "it's too dangerous for you to leave the protective barrier around our house, especially with Selina and Tessa recently killing your sister. I'll go find her, stay here."

"I'm coming with you," Lila said, "it's currently a rainbow moon, Frieda can't fend for herself for long, and Tessa and Selina wouldn't waste an opportunity to attack Frieda when she's not only weak but mad at herself. Besides you could use a fairy by your side."

"You're not going to let me leave without you, aren't you?" Ogron sighed Frieda and Lila shared the same stubbornness, "alright, but let's be quick before she actually finds herself facing Selina."

Lila nodded as she sparked her magic, "Fairyix!"

"You are the most beautiful element fairy I have ever seen," Ogron said as he admired Lila's transformation.

"Probably the only element fairy you've ever seen," Lila teased "it's quite rare to gain this power."

"Yes but then their aren't many people just like you." Ogron said with a goofy smile, whenever he was around Lila the darkness disappeared and there was a bliss of bright light. He chuckled at himself remembering years ago when he dreaded Lila's visits because he knew it meant sending Frieda away. Oh how things have changed.
