Ch. 13- Suki

We no longer had the dragon following us.

I pulled out my sword with shaking hands.

I sensed my brother coming closer.

"Where are you hiding Suki? And where's your little friend? I knew she wouldn't come."

I started shaking really bad and had to sit down.

My brother's head snapped to where we were hiding.

"There you are."

I jumped up and set my sword aflame. I also pulled out a dagger and threw it as hard as I could at his head. He went to catch it but wasn't quick enough. The dagger lodged itself into his hand. I walked out, Jasmine right behind me.

"Ah. Little sister. It's so nice to see you."

"Give the people their memories back!" I yelled at him.

"Same as always. Right down to business."

I stabbed my sword in his leg and he gave a grunt. Jasmine caught on and stabbed his other hand. I pinned him to the ground and poised my sword over his heart.

"Give. Them. Back. Their. Memories." I said through clenched teeth.

"No."

"Fine." I got off him.

"What? Fine! No! That's not how it's supposed to work! You were supposed to chicken out and I would kill you!"

"Well," I said, "even if they cane remember us, we will always have more friends than you. You stay locked up in here to watch peoples misery. And that's only fun for you. You make enemies every day even if they don't know it's you. If you give people their memories back all you have to do is apologize. So don't do it for us. Do it for you." After my speech I turned to walk away but someone's hand caught my wrist.

"Fine. But only because I want to."

I smiled. "Yeah, sure."

I felt some sort of breeze sweep through the room and suddenly all three of us were back in our village.

Jasmine turned to my brother. "Was that so hard?"

He gave a little fake pout. "Yes."

We all burst out laughing.

"Hey. Who's that?" Said some random person.

"Suki's brother," snapped Jasmine.

"They guy who erased our memories?"

"He gave them back," I protested

"Suki, Jasmine, can I talk to you?" Asked our sensei.

"Um sure," I said confused

"Suki, your brother can't stay here. You'll have to send him away or leave."

I looked back at my brother and just let my tears flow.

Jasmine knew what was coming. "No Suki! You can't leave!"

"Jasmine, he's my brother. I can't send him away."

"Well. I guess he can stay."

"WHAT?" Shouted Jasmine and I together.

"I truly expected you to send him away. But if you love him that much, he can stay."

"Oh, thank you Sensei!"

I ran up to my brother and hugged him.

I guess having peoples memories erased was a good thing after all.
