Author's note: This is based on a character I represented in a Role-Play chatroom. Sometimes, it became so real that it was as if I was living two lives. A real life, and a chat life. It's not exactly the best peice of writing material but, hey, read and see.
Chapter 1
"Why can't I go into Sinlahekin with you, Amb? There are so many people to meet, friends to make. C'mon, please?" the thirteen year old Vanda begged at the table that evening.
"Absolutely not. There's already enough going on and I don't want to have to watch you every second," the elder of the house, Amberle, replied.
"Besides, we could use you with cleaning the cottage," Sasha snickered.
Vanda glared at the middle sister, pushed away from the table and ran to her room.
"Vanda! Come back!" Amberle shouted at the youngest of the three sisters, following her to her room.
"That was uncalled for, Sasha," Nissa told her back at the dinner table.
"I know, but I couldn't help myself."
"She's our youngest sister. The least you could do is be nice to her."
"Oh, c'mon, Nissa. It's not like you weren't like this to me before Vand was born."
Nissa shook her head and poked at the food on her plate. Suddenly, her head snapped up and she got to her feet, eyes wide in suspicion.
"What? What's wrong?" Sasha asked.
"Something's out there. Something not right," she mumbled as she exited the cottage and jogged a couple yards, stopping to listen intently.
Back at the dinner table, Sasha stared after where Nissa left and wondered what to do. She turned to find Amberle but thought better of it when she heard the confrontation.
"Vanda please, I'm sorry. Please let me in," Amberle pleaded after trying the door, finding it locked.
"No," was Vanda's reply.
"Oh, please, Vanda? C'mon. I'll let you come to Sinlahekin with me next year. Right now you're too young."
"Too young?! I'm too young?!" Vanda hollered, throwing the door open, "I'm thirteen, Amber-"
Vanda cut herself short. The look on Amberle's face was one that foreshadowed something bad was about to happen.
"What? What is it, Amb?"
Vanda saw Amberle's hand over the stones that hung in a pouch around her neck.
"Something's not right," she swore as she bounded toward the door.
"Wait! Amb! Let me go-" Vanda started.
"Nasia toge! Soduro cange kaniwyer. " Amberle spoke in Latoshan as she ran out the door towards the way Nissa went.
Vanda sprinted towards the door. Sasha caught her by the arm, preventing her from going any further. Vanda eyed her but looked to where her cousin ran to. Something inside of her told her that something was going to happen soon, and it wasn't good.
What do you think?! Reviews would be nice! Next chapter's coming soon!
