Chapter Thirteen: Ha ha. That's so not funny.

*Maegwin sat in her cell. She no longer looked innocent. Trance was standing inside her cell as well. While Dylan stood just outside it. He had known that this girl was accountable for some damage, but he'd never imagined this.*
********
*Harper and Asher were bothe in the same dream. In fact they could look at each other and occasionally talk to each other.*
* We see them bothe walking down a dirty street. Asher keeps glaring at Harper.*
Harper finally cracked. "What the hell are you staring at?" Now, we all know Harper would never be THAT rude to someone. There are different standards to his rudeness and it always has some kind of purpose right?
Asher just ignored him and turned around to walk the other way.
Harper sighed and turned to follow to try and talk to the boy again when suddenly a woman was dragged out into the street and thrown harshly on the ground. (AN: not rape)
"Where is he?" This particular Nietzschean appeared to be about, oh, let's say TWENTY freakin' feat tall. This guy was huge.
Asher stopped and just watched. Behind him Harper took a few more steps before also halting.
"Oh God, no." He whispered. Asher heard and turned his head slightly, but did not look at him
. The woman was sobbing hysterically and couldn't talk right. She stumbled over her half sentences, but was cut short by a man coming up from the other end of the street.
"You'll never get him. I won't let you take my son or my wife." Asher looked the man over and saw that he looked very much like Harper. ~I see. ~
This time he did turn around to look at Harper. Harper wasn't looking at him; he wasn't even looking at the scene before them he looked to the side of the street and saw what he was looking for. The little boy was crouched behide a small shack. Asher turned away from Harper and then caught sight of the boy as well. It was the same boy that he'd seen before being held by the Ubers right before..
~Why is this happening? ~ It seemed like he'd asked that question over a million times before to himself. He'd been here so long.

"Why did you do this, Maegwin?"
Maegwin raised her eyebrows. "You truly don't understand? Why? You've seen others do far worse."
"So you were bored?"
Maegwin sighed. She looked at the wall and thought of here response. "Not truly bored. I just had nothing better to do."
"There's a difference?" Dylan asked.
Neither of them answered. They just continued to look at each other.
"So how did you go about it?"
"I took you and Harper's made Asher took this form went to Earth found a couple willing and told them what our "father" had done. How your dear little Seamus just abandoned my brother and I for his own good."
Trance looked at her for a minute. "And why is Asher remembering? Did you do that too?"
"No, I'd never hurt him. I've come to think of him as my, shall we say, pet." Trance looked slightly disgusted. "I would guess that, that whatever you called it, Preg Newt? I would guess that is the cause for his suffering."
Trance looked thoughtful for a minute. "You know instead of causing pain to rid your boredom you could try to help people."
"That gets so old."
"So does hurting them."
Maegwin looked at her through slightly narrowed eyes. "You speak from experience." It wasn't a question. She looked at her a little longer before dropping it seeing that Trance wasn't going to say anything with Dylan in the room. "What would you suggest?"
"Join us. Join the New Commonwealth and help us. I promise you'll never be bored."
Maegwin looked at the ground and thought about it for a few minutes. See finally looked back up with hard eyes. "Do you promise?" She sounded so hopeful, so sad and lonely. She spoke very softly. "I get so very tired, Trance."
Trance knelt down in front of her. "I know. And I promise."
Dylan cleared his throat behind them. "Don't I get a say in this."
Trance stood up beside Maegwin and they bothe just looked at him expectantly. "Um well." He stepped forward and held out his hand. "Welcome aboard the Andromeda Ascendant."
Maegwin shook his hand. Dylan turned around and walked out shaking his head and muttering to himself. Maegwin looked at Trance. "Now what?"
"Now we help Harper and Asher and after were done doing that you get to explain to him why his whole life is a lie and that his sister is not really his sister."
