An Honest Wreck
By: Mortania Hottersander
A/N: The older I get, the more I realize that Mortania has truly grown into another person. She's my OC from the beautiful world that JK Rowling crafted. I own the unfamiliar, and JK Rowling owns the genius of the world we all know.
Mortania had rifled through her old room, turning things upside down, and opening every door possible. She also had pulled out the trunk from underneath her old bed. Finally having enough of the ransacking, her step-sister and twin stood in the door next to one another while she was sitting on her knees prying up an old floorboard where she had once hidden everything valuable and important to her.
"What the bloody hell are you looking for?" Sasha asked impatiently, her arms crossed.
"Well, Sosh, I know it's definitely not her dignity. She lost that a while back." Mortaria answered her step-sister with a crooked grin on her face. Not in the mood to joke around, Mortania's jaw suddenly clenched and she was standing centimeters away from her twin's face with her wand pointed in between her eyes.
"Mortaria, shut your bloody mouth. Sasha, I can't tell you what I'm looking for because it would put you at great risk." Mortania answered turning suddenly away from the two standing in the door. Mortaria hmph'd and then walked away. Mumbling something about how rude and inconsiderate her twin was.
"Mortania, I have some unfortunate news for you, love. Being related to you puts me at an even greater risk." Sasha rolled her eyes. "So whatever you're looking for can't be as bad as me being related."
"That's where you're all wrong. It's not that your dad being married to my mum puts you at risk, it's the fact that people know I care about you." Mortania answered, her cheeks turning red.
"Of course you do, Tania…you're my best friend."
"That's not what I mean and you know it." Mortania warned shaking her head and turning back to the board.
Sasha sighed and then took a spot next to Mortania on the floor. "It's this board, by the way." Sasha peeled back the loose floorboard under Mortania's old desk. "What do you mean? That it's not what you meant? Can't you ever just answer me honestly for once?"
Mortania waved her hand and the door to the bedroom shut quietly and then locked. Mortania stood from her spot, after pulling a book out of the floor and tossing it onto the desk. She then held out her hand to Sasha.
"I haven't been completely truthful with you, Sosh." Mortania began, biting her lip in the nervous fashion that she had always had.
"Well, there's a bloody surprise." Came a remark from Sasha.
"I feel more for you than I do anyone else. I love you." Mortania answered honestly, and then ran her hand through her hair. "I just can't love you though." She grabbed the book and then walked to the door. "They would kill you."
"How can you follow him?"
"He's in my life, Sasha. If the only way to have him in my life is to obey, then I will do as instructed." Mortania turned away from the door and then walked out of the manor, and left a very confused Sasha standing by the desk.
When Mortaria was sure Mortania had left, she disillusioned herself and walked next to Sasha, taking her hand.
"She's telling you the truth, you know." Mortaria spoke quietly of her twin, "She wouldn't use that word unless she meant it. She really does feel for you."
"But in what context?" Sasha whispered silently which earned a sigh from the twin of the woman who had just walked out.
"Romantically, I'm afraid. Come on, let's go get something to eat."
And with that, both girls walked out of the room and shut the door, leaving it as Mortania had left everything in her life thus far, a complete wreck.
- AN 2: I know, I should update Insufferable Know-It-All…but I seem to be stuck where that story is concerned…-sigh- I might take it down and re-write it and My Sister's Keeper. As of right now, they're both on hiatus until I figure out what I want to do with them. In the meantime, in order to get back to writing again, you will be seeing a lot of my OC pieces. Drabbles and such.
