Thankyou flamer! Well actually, what the hell did you mean? But thanks for
reviewing.
Consider this disclaimed.
The girl's eyelids fluttered. She was regaining consciousness. Rio's healers had been worried that she would die of blood loss. Rio wasn't worried. It would take more than that to bump off his little sister. She was beautiful, he remembered. She was beautiful and they hurt her, bad too. No! His mind screamed. Don't get attached, don't get personal.
"Hello sis."
"R-r-rio?" She muttered, not entirely awake.
"Yes it's me." Chia had realised that she was bound. She began to struggle and fight. He pushed her down again with one gentle, but firm, hand.
"Now hold on sis. Leaving so soon?" She spat in his face.
"Come on. Don't play the silent type. Who beat you?" Sullen silence.
"You try my patience sister." Silence. She had fallen unconscious again. Blood poured from a head wound unnoticed by Rio, preoccupied as he was. Cursing, he called for his healers. She had always been quiet, he remembered. She didn't spill her problems out. But then, in his opinion, she had always spent too much time in the company of their Yamani parents. He had easily shed his nobility; she wore it like a charm. It was not visible but it was definitely there.
IN CORUS:
"I'll go."
"Thayet, you can't!"
"Why ever not. I am rider trained and I would have Buri with me. I'll even take Miri with me."
"Thayet please. You're too precious to me."
"Too precious! Like Kally was too precious to be a page I suppose, so you could use her as a marriage pawn. Too precious!"
"Thayet-"
"No. I'm going. That girl will die."
"You might die sweet."
"It is better to die meaningfully than to waste your life."
"Thayet! Wait. Come back. Thayet!"
THE RIDER BARRACKS:
"He only cares about you."
"I wish he wasn't so, so."
"So protective?"
"Yes, I hate that."
"You're lucky. My husband, he didn't care, not at all."
"Oh Onua, I'm sorry."
"No need to be. Just be grateful to Jon. He loves you."
"I know." Whispered Thayet. "I know."
