Chapter 9: Changes

Zariah heard commotion coming from the house. The other siblings had returned. 
"I will." She heard all of her brothers say at the same time. Something must've happened. There was some quiet talking, which she couldn't understand, when there was a sudden bang. It was as if one of them had fainted. 

It was after another hour had pasted that Zariah's head shot up. In front of her small window were standing three of her brothers. Three she could actually see at least. 
"How co-" She started but was cut of by Diego.
"Do you know where Vanya is?" He asked. His eyes were in a mixture of anger, sadness and pity when he looked at her. 
"No, I-" 
"Please, tell us. I know you know something." Klaus pried.
"What happened upstairs?" Zariah chose to change the subject.
"That psycho that's with Vanya almost killed Allison." Diego explained calmly.
"No, no, no. This isn't right." Zariah began pacing in the small room. Her right hand went through her still wet, long, brown hair as the left went to her mouth. She made small cirkles, since that was the only room she had to walk.
"We only need to-" Klaus began.
"Don't you dare touch her!" She threatened, getting very angry all of the sudden, scaring all of them. "Do with me whatever you'd like, but don't dare lay a finger on her. She's your sister for God's sake."
"We don't want to hurt her, Zar. We wan't to save her." Diego explained calmly.
"And she's OUR sister, Zariah. We're all one big family." Klaus chimed in. 
"Don't 'Zar' me. You lock me up in the one fucking place I still have nightmares from, even though I couldn't remember for most of my life. And I'm not your sister! I'm just a threat to eliminate."
"No, you're not." Diego protested.
"If I'm not, than let me out of this cel." The three boys looked between one another.
"I'm sorry." Five whispered. He had been quiet the entire time, which was nothing for him. Klaus placed his hand on the old man's shoulder as he looked at his feet.
"Zariah, do you know something we don't?" Diego asked. 
"Screw you!" She cried out. She turned her back towards them and slid down the door. The boys could now only see her legs. Five sighed as he made up his mind. He spacial jumped into the small room, crouching down next to his sister.
"I'm really sorry, Zar." He placed his hand on her shoulder, which was an obvious mistake. She grabbed it to keep him in place and swung out her other hand to him. She had struck him right in the face, but not that hard. He looked away before spacial jumping back out of the room. Both Diego and Klaus looked at him with wide eyes. 
"Get some sleep." He told the girl who was still sitting on the ground with clenched fists. He placed the peace of wood back in front of the window, leaving Zariah in the darkness. Zariah let out a scream, which made the ground shake a little.
"I thought-" Klaus began confused, but Five was the one to cut him off.
"It will keep her powers at the minimum. You can't just remove someone's powers." He walked away after that, making his way to the car. 

Zariah had listened a lot that day. It was the only thing she still knew how to do. The room was to dark to see, it always smelled the same and it wasn't like she had a book to read. She at one point had heard Klaus and Five fight about Five being addicted to something and she had heard Luther scold at Pogo about being the least trust worthy, although she didn't agree with him on that part. Her siblings were the least trustworthy ones among them. There had been fighting in what sounded like the living room, which were probably her siblings, but there was also a voice she knew faguelily. It was hard to tell voices apart, since the walls muffled most of the sound.
But then there was this sound she had hoped not to hear any time soon. 
"Hello?" Vanya's voice was heard and after that the worst of voices she could've hoped to hear.
"Vanya." Luther answered her call.
"Is Allison-"
"She survived." Zariah let out a shaky breath. She might hate her siblings, but she didn't want any of them dead. And she knew there was a chance that it was Vanya that had hurt Allison, but she'd choose her over any other sibling any time.
"Thank god." 
"What happened?"
"We got in an argument. And things got out of control. I didn't mean to hurt her. Please, you have to believe me." Vanya pleaded.
"I do." Zariah whispered as Luther said it.
"It was an accident. And I was- I was angry, and uh, it just happened. Could I see her?"
"No." Zariah whispered. She it was like she knew what Luther was thinking. If there was such a room for her than there had to be one for Vanya. Everything clicked inside her head and Luther's entire plan came to her. She knew her brother well enough to know how his idiotic small brain worked.
"This is your home." Zariah heard Luther say. It was obvious she had zoned out for a bit and missed a part of their conversation. She could hear Vanya cry and apologizing over and over. It was as a surprise to her that none of her other siblings had gone to her. It was quiet for a few seconds until the entire building began to shake, but it wasn't her this time. 
"Shit." She whispered while getting up. The wooden plank fell down onto the ground and led light stream back into her small cage. She started hitting the door as hard as she could, but it didn't work. There was no way she could get out to save her sister. The quake lasted about thirty seconds before it died down. "No." Zariah whimpered.
