Dark History

Disclaimer: "A llama?!. He's supposed to be dead!".
I love my reviewers, yes i do, especially when they send lovely reviews. Yes, i know i should be resting, but iot is amazing what illness does to a person. Anyway, this chapter is dedicated to Dr Coward (yes, that IS his real name) who gave me the really strong anitbiotics today that made me feel up to posting.
Chapter 14 - Tensions rise.
"Sid?", said Todd blinking, "what..what are you doin' here?".
"I managed to sneak away for a while", said Sidney with a smile, standing up, Ebony climbing onto her shoulders, "what the heck happened to you guys?. You look like you've been beaten within an inch of your lives".
"Magneto", said Wanda, coldly staring at Sidney, she and the cat-girl never had gotten along, "why did you come here?. I take it this isn't a courtesy visit".
Sidney narrowed her eyes at Wanda then sighed.
"Nice to see you too Wanda", she said, "i came here, because i wasn't sure if you heard the news or not, i know you lot haven't exactly got your noses to the grindstone".
She pulled out a newspaper and handed it to Todd.
"Brace yourself buddy", she said, giving Ebony a scratch under the chin.
Todd blinked and looked at the first page. The headline read 'Big buisness man cuts astounding deal'. He scanned the article, reading aloud for the benifit of the others.
"Power8, the soft drink made famous for recent descoveries to the harm it can do to mutants has been dragged out of the ditch of debt it had cast itself in. After much hardship and struggle for the opportunity to finance this company, buisnessman Daniel Toynbee came..out..on top...Dad?".
"Yep", said Sidney with a sigh, "sorry you had to hear about this from me".
Ebony jumped down and mewed at her. She nodded and smiled, then looked at Wanda.
"Ebony here says to stop treating him like a cat", she said with a smile, "he really isn't a cat you know....".
"Of course he's a cat!", said Wanda irritably, "what does he look like, a hippo?!".
"Belive what you want witchy woman", said Sidney with a shurg, "i'm just relaying the message".
Wanda scowled and stomped upstairs. Sidney rolled her eyes.
"Someone's cheery", she comented, then turned to Todd, "what you gonna do about your father?".
"I.. i'm gonna go talk ta him", said Todd, "man, when i went ta see him last some guy has just left. He said he had just made a big buisness deal. Ohh that..that..pigman!".
With that, Todd headed out of the door, slamming it behind him.
"Welcome home Sid, nice to see you again", muttered Sidney, heading upstairs to what used to be her room.
She wasn't surprised to find her bed had gone, Wanda's room was now huge. Wanda looked up from where she lay on her bed and scowled at Sidney.
"What do you want?", she snapped.
"Just to talk", said Sidney, holding up her hands defensively, "chill out, okay?".
Wanda narrowed her eyes, then sighed.
"Fine, what do you want to talk about?", she asked.
Sidney smiled and sat down on the bed next to Wanda.
"About Todd".
"What about him?", asked Wanda, crossing her arms, "if you want to take him back to Avalon with you, please do. No skin off my nose".
Sidney chuckled and shook her head.
"You remind me of Lance before he started dating Kitty", she said with a smile, "he refused to admit he liked her".
"I do NOT like Todd", snapped Wanda, lightbulbs starting to flicker.
Sidney sighed and closed her eyes.
"Look", she said, then looked up at Wanda, "this isn't easy for me to say, but i..i lost him, okay?. I chose a path that led me away from him. There are times when i regret that, but i have to be on the path i am, the people of Avalon need me...Todd doesn't".
"Are you trying to say something?", asked Wanda, narrowing her eyes.
"Yes, i am", said Sidney, "I know you have been hurt in the past, but if you keep avoiding opening up your heart to anyone, you'll never know how happy you can be. If you keep your heart stowed away and never use it, i can guarentee you there will come a time when you will want to, and it will be no good. You might be able to fool the guys, but lets face it, we girls are more in tune with the feelings of those around us..i know you like him".
"I don...", started Wanda, only to be cut off by Sidney.
"Please, don't give me that", she said, "he likes you alot, and i care too much about him to see him get shattered every time he trys to talk to you. Why don't you give him a shot?...i mean, can it really be that bad to open up to someone for once?".
Wanda narrowed her eyes, attempting to stare Sidney down. Unfortunately, Sidney was expert at it. Wanda sighed and looked down.
"I don't know".
Uh oh, it's another one!. God, i'm evil. Think yourselves lucky, as you lot wanted Sidney aboard again, i have had to lengthen the fic, it would have been finished by now.
Sidney: "I save your butt again".
Shut up. Okay, please review. I'll try and put some more of my musical up tomorow, Chritsmas eve, whoot!. Until next time....
