Author's Note: Thanks for the review Yoshi and Kirby Fan! I'm glad someone reads my work. ^_^ So, fulfilling your request I write the second chapter to this pathetic tale.
Chapter 2
I Left the House Uncertain
"Rin! Rin please come!" I called into the night only minutes after my sister had melted into the shadowed woods. I hoped to get past manipulation of objects and move to myself tonight. Only yesterday night Rin had said I was ready to break my "chains".
"You call the wrong one tonight. It is my mother, not I, who can finally release you…" Rin's voice came. I watched as she dropped to the forest floor and came towards me. She smiled kindly at me, her two tails lashing calmly to and fro. I felt uneasy. Call Rin's mother? I was quite comfortable with Rin's appearance and personality but if she got both from her mother… I recalled my reaction to Rin's entrance in my life (if you could call it that), her reaction to mine was fine but… Here I was again with the asking of the questions! I wanted to leave this wreck of a home didn't I?
"Moro! Please come to my call!" I shouted at the blackness of the wood.
"No need to shout child. I am here, as you are." A calm voice said. A sleek gray Lupe seemed to ooze from the dark. A gasp escaped me. Though save coloration, the Lupess was normal. She couldn't be Moro! Could she? "You doubt me, child?" she asked. I started to nod but then quickly shook my head.
"I doubt you not." I tried boldly, even trying to match the way Rin talked, hoping the pair wouldn't find it mocking. The Lupess smiled Rin's well-known smile at me.
"I've watched you're lessons closely though I was not seen. As my daughter is not now." Moro said nodded towards Rin. I too looked at… air? Rin was nowhere to be seen yet for some reason I felt she was still there. Reaching out a hand I felt her shoulder and she took my hand as she appeared again, holding it. I blinked at her wide-eyed.
"Invisibility is a lesson you may learn yet…somehow I think you've learned that without effort already." Moro said lightly joking. "A spirit you can leave this house not. Unless you wish to leave that way?" I shook my head and then perked up.
"Invisibility?" I asked, immediately curious. "I could learn that! But how would that help me leave the mansion without people screaming the moment I became visible again?" I inquired. Rin answered me.
"It doesn't. But I'd dare say you should learn it. If only to leave one's sister's sight."
"Rin speaks only truth my child." Moro said, "Listen well. What my daughter has taught you, you won't need for the lesson I am about to teach…" And so began the first of my lessons with Moro. These lessons, like Rin's were at night. Moro never ceased to amaze me with her knowledge; I was surprised every time Rin took a lesson with me as well. It startled me to realize just how little Rin knew compared to her mother.
After only seven nights Moro declared me ready to leave. Or at least that's what I think she meant when she said my binds to the mansion where broken. I now could now successfully make myself appear and feel solid, with one problem. I couldn't seem to be able to rid myself of my ghostly glow. If I were to leave, I'd have to be back before dark and before my sister got ready to leave the house so she wouldn't notice I was missing. Kaymara seemed to think she owned me and refused to let me come in contact with anyone after the first time I left. She had declared that if I were to leave her for a life outside our mansion walls she would locate anyone I had a relationship with and kill them. I didn't care. What sis doesn't know won't hurt her, or any one else for that matter.
"Morning Sister." I said as Kaymara came in that morning hissing at the light I had turned on. I switched it off and felt Kaymara's angry red eyes bore into me with a fixating glare before she scampered down to the basement. I grinned, despite the chill she had sent through me. Now I was home free, my sister wouldn't be back up until near dark, which in the Haunted Woods was about nine p.m. Stepping out on the doorstep I concentrated on making myself as solid as possible. Grinning from ear to ear I ran on all fours into the forest. Ignoring the fact my faint gray ghost glow was still there as it was five in the morning. Knowing these woods, hardly anyone would be up anyhow and it would be light by the time I reached any towns.
Author's Note: Sorry if this seems a bit flat, I'm having mood swings when it comes to writing. Review with any complaints and I'll see what I can do.
