~ A Dreamer's Dream - Chapter 2 ~
I do not own the characters from the "Soul" series
"Sophitia?!" Cassandra called, searching for her older, blond sister. She'd never, not once, would she have considered going to Sophitia for advice, but she needed someone to talk to.
"Where are you?!" Cassandra stomped her feet in a childish manner. She had been searching for her sister awhile, and had not yet found her. What Cassandra hated about Sophitia was that she'd pop out randomly, and unexpectingly...like right now...
"I'm right here Cassandra, calm down." Sophitia strode to Cassandra calmly. "Now you said you wanted to talk to me?" Cassandra nodded, anxiously. They both settled down in chairs facing opposite each other. Right away, Sophitia could tell something serious was troubling her sister, Cassandra kept shifting her weight to the side, and wouldn't focus on her. Cassandra knew her sister was waiting on her by the look in her eye, so she decided just to come out and say it.
"Sophitia...is it wrong to like....girls?" Cassandra's face turned dark crimson, as she fiddled her fingers shyly. Although she was usually, outspoken and tough on the exterior, when it came to love, she was a shy little girl. Sophitia cocked her head to the side, confused.
"As friends? Sisters? Mothers?" Cassandra shook her head. "....Shopclerks?!" Sophitia did not want to believe her sister was gay, she just couldn't.
"AS A LOVER DAMMIT!!" Cassandra blurted out, in a tone mixed with embarrassment, anger, and annoyance. Sophitia blinked a few times, unable to process the information. She was silent for a long time, Cassandra wondered if she should just get up, and leave. Finally, Sophitia took a deep breath, and tried her best to further understand the situation.
"You're in love with a girl?"
"No! Well...I dunno...it started off as me dreaming about Xianghua...
"Who?" Sophitia intercepted. Cassandra sighed.
"I met her when I met Kilik...anyway I didn't think much of it, but I kept having it."
"Well? What was this dream about?" Cassandra shook her head 'no' vigorously, as a deep red blush spread on her face.
"Oh come on Cass, you can tell me." Sophitia touched Cassandra's hand to reassure her. Cassandra brought her head down, and quickly said,
"In the dream, Xianghua was a princess, and I was her prince." When she was finished, she was out of breath. Sophitia couldn't help it, as she cracked a small smile.
"See? This is why I don't ask you for advice!" Cassandra huffed, and started to walk away. Sophitia grabbed Cassandra's arm, and forced her to look at her.
"Cassandra, there's nothing wrong with being gay, if you do have feelings for this, Xiangkwa--
"Xianghua." Cassandra corrected.
"Isn't that the same...? Well anyway, what I'm trying to say is, you need to accept your feelings."
"But..but I! I can't be gay! I just can't be!" Cassandra pulled out of Sophitia's grip, and resided in her room for the rest of the night, where she had that dream again..
Cassandra stood outside Xianghua's door, wondering if she should open it. She could hear Xianghua crying from inside, it troubled her. Her curiosity, overcoming her fear, she opened the door.
"Xianghua?" Cassandra asked, sitting beside Xianghua. She turned to her, she didn't recognize her right away, but when she did, Xianghua lunged at Cassandra. Cassandra chuckled, and stroked her chestnut brown hair.
"I'm..so...so...glaadd...you're here..." Xianghua cried, nestling herself closer to her Cassandra. She smiled, and kissed the top of Xianghua's head. She giggled in response, and kissed Cassandra back, knocking her back some. They remained in that position until it had stopped thundering. Xianghua sighed, and cuddled closer with Cassandra.
"Umm...I know this is kinda random, but, can I see what you look like, without the helmet?" Cassandra froze. If she revealed herself to Xianghua, she might not like what she saw. Xianghua probably wanted a daring, and hansome man, not a bleach blond girl!
"Well..." Cassandra began, sighing. Xianghua looked rather upset, Cassandra hated seeing her like that, so she began removing her helmet.
'YOU IDIOT!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" A voice was screaming in her head, telling her to stop, but she hated seeing Xianghua sad. With the helmet removed, Cassandra was finally revealed to her princess. Xianghua was shocked, mouth opened, as she shouted,
"Ca..Cassandra?!"
Sophitia woke up Cassandra the next day.
"Ughh..five more minutes please.." Cassandra murmured, tiredly.
"Come on get up, we need to go to the market place today."
"I don't wanna..." Cassandra mumbled. Sophitia sighed, her sister could be so ignorant sometimes.
"Oh come on Cass! We're buy some groceries, maybe go out to eat, and hey, maybe you'll even see Xianghua.." Sophitia winked. Cassandra glared at her older sister.
"GET OUT!" Cassandra yelled, throwing the object closest to her at Sophtia, in this case it was her pillow. Sophitia chuckled, and left the room. Their mornings was always like this, Sophitia would tease Cassandra, they'd have a friendly sisterly banter, Cassandra would throw something at her, and tell her to leave, Sophitia would leave to eat a muffin, then 25 minutes later they would both go out shopping, and forget all about it.
After Cassandra got ready (she took longer than normal..I wonder why?), she and Sophitia traveled to the market square.
"You wait here Cassandra, I just need to buy some fruit from the vendor over there, now don't wander off." Cassandra pouted.
"I am not a child!" Sophitia smiled, and ruffled her sister's hair.
"I'll be right back." Sophitia walked over to the stand, a greasy man was running it. The fruit didn't look all too fresh, neither did he really.
"What'cha need, baby?" The man asked. Sophitia shuddered, and returned to Cassandra's side.
"Well that was pointless." Sophitia mumbled.
"Good are we done here?! Let's go!" Cassandra tugged on her sister's arm, nervously.
"What's the rush? We just got here!"
"Cassandra? Oh, hey Cassandra!" A voice called.
"Fuck." Cassandra groaned. "Great they saw us....Can we please go now Sop-Sophitia?!!"
