DISCLAIMER: I have not created any of the characters I am using in my story except for Willow and I do not own any of those either except for Willow.


Willow's POV

I didn't have urge to fight back my tears anymore. I let them fell and form a stream down my face. I saw Tan opening and closing her mouth, trying to get some words out between the tears and gasps. I was very aware that Val, Skul and Ghastly were staring at us, especially at me but I couldn't care less. My focus was fully on Tan. On my sister.

"Where were you Will?! Why?!" she half yelled, half cried to me. "Nobody who used to know you didn't know where you where!" I felt miserable. Tan had never yelled at me before. She had never been so disappointed at me before.

"You just...disappeared...two years ago! And I thought that I lost my only sister for eternity" she whispered, voice cracking and finally failing her. She was crying now and I was just standing there, not able to say anything. "Tan -I...just" words fluttered out from my mouth making no sense.

I was cut by Tan before I had even thought what to say. "You what Will?" Tanith gazed up on me, her sorrow turning to anger. "You just wanted to runaway...from your family, from me 'cause-" her voice was getting more confident by every word she spitted out "- you clearly DIDN'T LOVE ME...at least not enough to come home to me-" That was enough to set my feelings on fire. She was SO wrong.

"You have no idea how much it took me, to stay away from you." I hissed out, so low and so dangerous that Tan stopped yelling at me and settled just glaring at me. "Dad put me in assassin training when I was four. Just like you. I was there for thirteen years. Thirteen, Tan. I disappeared when I had just turned seventeen, right? I bet you remember that day. I was supposed to come home for Christmas but I decided not to." I spitted out, my tone cold as ice now.

"Will...don't you dare talk to me about that! you have NO idea how I felt!" Tan growled, but I didn't care. We were circyling each other now, just like some hungry beasts, both tensed and full of anger and something called love. She claimed I didn't love her and I wanted to cut that even and I was going to do that now. "Oh I dare." I replied.

"You see, while my training I learned. I learned that I'd make some enemies, 'cause they told me I was the best assassin disciple they had trained in centuries, except for you. If my becoming enemies would know that I have something to do with you-" I couldn't keep up my anger anymore, and I started to loose it. I felt tears rolling down my face once again. "-they would hurt you, to get me on my knees, to get under my skin."

The expression on my sister's face was...unprecedented. There was sorrow, regret, love and something I didn't recognize. We had stopped circyling each other ages ago. "Will-" Tanith started but I wasn't done. I had to get this feeling out of me now. "And I would NEVER let anyone to hurt you 'CAUSE OF ME! I don't care about myself as long as YOU ARE SAFE! There you have my reason! So DON'T YOU DARE to...claim that I don't love you." the last words came out as a sort of a whimper.

I completely lost it and started crying. Tan had tears on her face and when she became to come towards me, I was so shocked of all the feelings I had kept inside, that I tried to runaway once again. I ran into something stone hard. To Ghastly "Le' me go" I mumbled, almost begged. He didn't reply, instead of that I felt two strong arms tighten around my back.

I was so used to runaway, that I started to throw punches to his broad, stone hard chest with my small fists, attempting to get him loose his grip on me. Then I felt two smaller hands on my shoulders and I stopped immediately.

"Will, it's okay I get it now. Please don't runaway anymore." Tan sighed her voice fragile. I turned around and she hugged me with such a force I thought my ribs were going to break. I gave her back the same and felt awesome. She started laughing "Oi, my lil' sis' Will, I see you got some muscle there don't you? But you definetly are as short as you've always been." she teased me. She truly had every right to tease me about height 'cause she was almost six inches taller than me.

"Oi, my smart ass big sis' Tan, I see you love teasing me as much as always before." I mumbled to her hair. "You are my little runaway, aren't you?" she asked, and we parted. We both smiled but then I froze. She laughed "What Will?" "I...umm think that there are a few people staring at me." I said and bit my lip. "Yeah, I think so too, you midget." She grinned and tried to cover her laugh.

General POV

When Skulduggery, Tanith and Will explained Willow's story to Valkyrie, she finally got over it and agreed to leave with Skul. It was around 3.00 a.m. and Ghastly watched those two so same looking girls talk about the things that had happened in their lives while Willow's runaway.

There were only two differences between those girls, Ghastly thought. First was their height. Tanith was six inches taller than Willow, but that was just cute. Big sister and ll' sister. The second was that where Tan had hazel brown eyes, Willow had bright blue. Apart from those differences, they were almost identical.

Ghastly saw that Tanith was happier than ever before. He liked it that way, knew that it was Willow who made her happy and he was never going to let anyone change it. I am going to protect her, Ghastly thought. Even though Willow didn't knew it, she got herself a guardian angel that night.

Whoa, I know right? Fight fight fight...kinda lame chapter I guess. But I promise that chapter four (the last one) is gonna be awesome and full of action and Ghanith and Valduggery. Please, review :)
