Chapter 4: Unwanted Family Reunion

Nova's Point Of View

The six of us were now walking through the woods. Actually, Kid and Sierra were walking. Liz and Patty were in their weapon forms, twin pistols, and Serena and I were in our weapon forms, two scythes. We were slightly shorter than regular scythes, making us a little shorter than Sierra. We had to shorten ourselves. How could one person wield two scythes that were taller than they were? If we were being used one at a time, we could be a regular sized scythe if we wanted. It was a cool ability that Serena and I have.

It had finally just gotten dark and we were getting close to where the witch was said to live in the woods. We all could feel a terrible feeling in the air as we began to see the witch's house. We could also all hear the screams of the victim that the witch had inside plus the gruesome noises that came from whatever she was doing to the poor man.

"Well, we are too late for that one…" Sierra stated as we walked up the path leading into the house.

"So how are we going to do this? Just bust in there and shoot and stab randomly?" Serena asked as we all just stared at the door. Kid opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by the door opening. The witch, Sarah, walked out and stood in front of us. In my opinion she looked more like a prostitute than a witch. She wore a pink bra like thing that barely hid her boobs with a short frilly pink skirt that didn't even reach her knees. She had white gloves that went past her elbows and also a white witch's hat.

"Oh my, what do I have here?" Sarah giggled as she looked at the 6 of us (2 guns, 2 scythes and 2 meisters). "My adorable twin little sisters, their whore best friend and an adorable boy with his weapon partners. My my, this is a surprise."

"I'm not a whore!" I yelled as I appeared in my blade.

"Oh hush honey, I've known you all your life so I think I'd know." Sarah giggled at the angered look that Sierra now had on her face. "So, just how did the three of you switch sides so easily? All of you lived your lives so differently than the rich boy here, so why work with him now? Come back to my side, we can have so much fun again. We can start with this cutie."

"Shut up!" Sierra growled before swinging Serena at Sarah. Sarah just giggled and jumped back. The mention of the past was starting to upset Sierra.

"Oh what's wrong my darling little sister? Have I said something wrong?" Sarah giggled some more and I could see Sierra's anger control starting to slip. The past is something she has been trying to escape for years and it has always been the one thing that could make her snap.

"You need to shut the hell up!" Sierra hissed as she swung me and Serena at Sarah. Sarah dodged it again and giggled. Sierra cussed to herself before running at Sarah. Sarah kept dodging every attack that Sierra tried. Though Sierra was so angry with the witch that she was being careless.

"You're too angry with me to fight Sierra. Maybe you should let Serena take over, or that adorable boy that's just standing there." Sarah suggested with a giggle. I was worried now. Since Sierra was too close, Kid couldn't risk shooting at Sarah.

"Go to hell!" Sierra snapped as she swung both Serena and I. This time Sarah didn't block. She saw an opening, said her spell and attacked. Sierra was sent flying backward. She collided with a tree, but before she could hit the ground, Sarah was there. She knocked Serena and I out of her hands and leaned over. She whispered something into Sierra's ear and then stabbed her somewhere above her hip.

That's when kid started shooting. He was careful to not hit Sierra as he did but it seemed like bullets didn't affect her at all. Sarah just laughed and appeared in front of Kid. She kicked him backwards, as he slammed into a tree; Sarah appeared in front of him again. She smiled sweetly before stabbing him as well. After he fell to the ground she casually walked back into her house. Instantly us four weapons turned back into our human form to help our meisters.

"We need to get back to the house. They need medical attention. We have a medical supplies bag there that will help." Serena explained to us as we looked at our meisters. Everyone agreed so we started our journey back through the woods. Liz and Patty carrying Kid and Serena and I carrying Sierra.

"Something was off about both of them. Do you think the witch did something?" Liz asked as we carried them through the dark woods.

"She might have, I could see that something was wrong as well. Sierra normally fights better than that." I told the sisters.

The rest of our little "adventure" was in complete silence. No one knew what to say. Once we reached the house we fixed up our meisters and got two rooms ready. One room was for the wounded and the other was for the four of us weapons. Before we all went to bed, the four of us had to explain to Lord Death. He told us since both meisters were injured we needed to come home immediately.

"Well, this was a big fat failure of a first mission." Serena said as she fell down onto one of the beds.

"I agree." I replied as I lay down next to her. Liz and Patty lay down on the other bed. We all said goodnight to each other before we fell asleep.

~At Dawn~

Sierra's Point Of View

I woke up to the bright sunlight in my face and a terrible pain above my hip. At first I couldn't remember what happened, but unfortunately it all came back to me. I sighed loudly before sitting up. I ignored the pain and looked over at Kid who was lying in the other bed in the room we were in. it looked like he was wounded as well.

"Damn, I fucked up and got Kid hurt because of it." I slid out of bed and tried to stand up but failed. I ended up falling down on my bed. I laid there in pain. "She was right…" I whispered as I stared up at the ceiling as I remembered what Sarah had said.

~Flashback~

"You are poison. Everyone around you will be hurt and die, just because you are near them. Just like the boy you are falling for." Sarah had whispered in my ear before stabbing me.

~End Flashback~

"I have many questions for you that you will answer when we get home." I looked over at Kid who was now sitting up. I bit my lip to stop myself from crying. The look on his face made me hurt far worse than the stab wound.

"I'll answer anything you ask." I told him, my voice cracking as I spoke. I stood up and left the room, ignoring my pain. I walked down the hall and down the stairs before I let my tears fall. I was so confused though. I have never felt like this before.

"Sierra? Are you alright?" I turned around to see Patty.

"Sure…"

"But, you are crying."

"I'm aware of that…" I mumbled as I walked out of the room, even more confused than I was, and in more pain than I was.

~Later that day~

Serena's Point Of View

"Well, I stitched both of their wounds and gave them pain medication. They will still have to stay here for a little while." Professor Stein explained after he left the infirmary at the DWMA.

"They will be okay, right? Was there any sign of any lasting spells or curses?" I asked very concerned, especially after I had seen my twin cry for the first time this morning.

"No, they will be alright. They were under the influence of a spell that slowed them down but they are fine now. Go home, they need to rest." Professor Stein told us as he waved us away from the door. We all nodded and walked away.

Stein's Point Of View

I had lied to them, but I didn't feel too bad about it. There was no spell or curse from a witch, but Sierra was not necessarily alright. I could see the sadness in her soul, and I could feel it radiating off of her. Whatever secrets that girl has is eating her away. I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up becoming depressed and suicidal. I hope that she'll be alright and not give into the depression. I can tell she is a good and strong girl. It'd be a terrible shame for her to die like that. Maybe I should help her. I guess that's a conversation I'll have to have after she is healed.
