Two Sisters Who Need A Peaceful Life

Chapter 1

Our story begins as Ruby and Tanya are running for their lives, once again, from an angry mob that's too big for them to usually be able to deal with. As Ruby is trying to hold on to her sister, and Tanya the same, she keeps trying to talk to the people, "People, please! We don't want trouble!"

"Forget it, Ruby! They're not going to listen!" Tanya tried to tell her sister that people won't listen when full of hate.

The people hate them for being mord-sith. But they can't help it. Since they were young, they were raised by their father who never told anyone who these two were: confessors. Their father hated them for what they were because of their mother and chose to never tell Ruby and Tanya what they were and he just forgot all about it and sold them to the mord-sith. They didn't know either, of course, but soon found out when Ruby was being hurt and made Alicia very pissed-off. She unleashed some of the magic she felt deep inside and confessed one of them. They are contradictions in the Midlands, but were able to become mord-sith because they were strong and able to pull through together and became mord-sith themselves.

And now, look where that got them.

They were on their way back to the People's Palace after they received news of a new Lord Rahl. They wanted to meet him. His name was Richard Rahl and they had heard that he was nothing like the bastard, Darken Rahl, who had ruled them before.

"Please us alone! I don't want to hurt you!" Tanya pleaded with them and completely ignored her own advice to her sister.

The people had gotten horses and now surrounded them, holding weapons and planning to kill them.

Tanya said, "Leave us alone! Or I'll be forced to confess you!"

"Confess us? You're a couple of damned mord-sith! You can't confess us!"

"Oh yeah," shouted Tanya. "Well guess what. We are confessors and we will confess you if that's what it takes to be free and have some peace for once!"

"How can you be mord-sith and confessors at the same time, you bitch!"

"Come here, and I'll show you," Tanya glares at the villagers who were trying to destroy her sister. "Because I will not stand for my family, my only sister, to get hurt! Now get away! NOW!"

Tanya was getting very pissed-off again, but did not actually want to show them her power. As much as she loved a good fight, she didn't like hurting innocent people, and she was afraid she was going to have to because these idiots were not budging.

"I'm going to give you a warning," she muttered. "Get back and I won't hurt you! I don't care what I have to do! Use my agiel or my confessors power, but my sister and will be away from you!"

"Then I suggest not getting to comfortable," one of the leaders says, "Because you and your filthy bitch of a sister aren't going anywhere!" The whole crown erupted in cheer, and close in on them, so Tanya decides what to do.

She whispers to Ruby, "Can you handle some?"

Ruby nods and flicks her agiel into her hand and prepares to fight.

"Fine then!" Tanya gets her agiel and together they take down most of the members of the mob. There are five of them left when they were done, and they were begging to be let go, saying that they didn't want violence. That they just want peace. They weren't even carrying any weapons.

"Can we let them go, Tanya?"

"Okay. Go. And tell the others that we didn't want to hurt anyone, and that they aren't dead. They are just knocked out and will awaken soon. We are sorry it had to come of this, but maybe it was for their own good." Tanya said with her heart full of regret.

"Yes. Thanks for your mercy."

"One more thing, please. What do you know of the new Rahl?"

"It is said that he is kinder and generous to his subjects. This new Lord Rahl does not slaughter like Darken Rahl did."

"Thank-you. You may go now," Tanya says as she watches them go back to their village.

"Thank-you for not hurting them too badly, Tanya."

"No problem, sister. I didn't want to hurt them anyways." Tanya smiles to her sister, but then frowns with concern. "Are you alright?"

"Yes. I am okay. What about you? You did most of the fighting."

"I am fine." Tanya smiles and makes sure her agiel is back in place and that her knives were still in her boots. "Do you think maybe we should put our dresses on? Maybe then the people won't bother us." She smiles as she looks into her sister's blue eyes.

Ruby thinks it over for a few seconds then finally says, "That could possibly work out for the better."

So then the sisters pull off the packs and pull out their dresses and change into them. Ruby's dress is a midnight blue that Tanya always says goes great with her skin tone and blue eyes. Tanya's is a forest green color that reminds her of nature.

When they are ready, they set back on their way towards the People's Palace.

They walk in silence and eventually run into another town and decide that they should get a couple of horses to speed up their journey. They go into town in search of someone to buy them from.

"Excuse me," Ruby says, "Is there someplace where we can buy a couple horses?"

The man says that he runs the stables and has a couple that he's willing to part with, so he takes them there. "The name's Adam Johnson."

"Hello, Adam. I am Tanya and this is my sister, Ruby."

"Greetings. Where you be heading where you need horses and to wear such fancy dresses, if I may ask?" Adam eyes them with a hint of suspicion.

Tanya speaks first and says, "We are on our way to the People's Palace to meet the new Lord Rahl."

"Not to be rude or anything, misses, but what business would you have with him?"

"He is our Lord Rahl and we must protect him."

"Okay then." Adam takes them to the two horses at the end and sets the price, which Tanya pulls out and gives to him. "Would you like some supplies for the horses as well?"

"Yes, please." Tanya gives him the money for three day's worth of food and two saddles, then bid him farewell. "Next stop, the People's Palace."

Ruby and Tanya then head on their way to the People's Palace in haste.
