Chapter 11 - Suspicion
"Fine."
Fine turned her head to see Rein. After their short meeting with Princess Grace, Rein decided to talk to Fine, worried that something was bothering her. If she was correct, maybe there was something she could do to help her.
"What is it?" Fine asked. She didn't sound cherry or happy like she usually was, instead she sounded distant, like she didn't want to be there, with her. The more distant she sounded, the more Rein felt like their relationship as sisters were tearing apart.
"Is something wrong?" Rein asked at last. "You've been acting weird lately." She is worried. That's all that needs to be said. But nothing can stop her heart from breaking into pieces when Fine's eyes stared right through her. Those cold, empty eyes. Ones that Rein has never thought Fine would have. Ones that she never thought Fine would give her. Sure they have fought a couple of times, but they always made up. This time, everything felt different.
"Why do you care?" Fine asked and walked off, leaving Rein to stare at her back. Her eyes narrowed slightly. Something really was wrong with Fine. She just didn't know what.
As soon as Rein could not see Fine anymore, Rein ran back into the castle. She needed to see Camelot, her parents, or others that can help.
"Camelot!" Rein shouted, trying to keep up with the old woman, Lulu at her side. Lulu was the first one to hear her. They both stopped walking as Rein ran up to them. She panted heavily.
"Something's wrong with Fine," Rein said immediately. Camelot and Lulu looked at each other then back at Rein. They nodded and carried their conversation in another room.
Fine walked down the streets of the Sunny Kingdom, not paying attention to where she was going. Her mind had wandered off somewhere else.
"You really are hopeless," a voice said. Fine turned around, but saw no one.
"Who's there?" Fine asked frantically. She was scared of the fact that someone whom she cannot see is talking to her.
"Does it matter if I'm here or not?" the voice asked. It laughed hysterically for a moment then cut the laugh off short. "Fine...join me. Join me and let's take revenge on all the people that have hurt us. Let's make them regret what they ever did to us. Let's make them regret they were ever even born."
"Let's make them suffer."
