Warning: I think this is a bad chapter...so don't go telling me it is, because I already think it is...GOT IT?
Where is my Sister?
I hadn't seen home ever since the last lighthouse was lit...and I missed it dearly.
"Are you okay?" Mia asked me and sat down beside me on the beach. It hadn't been that long since the last one was lit, and a celebration was in planning. I really didn't wish to take part in it, even though I had been away from home for a while now I still felt homesick. I hadn't been home in a long time.
"I'm homesick..." I said slowly and she smiled at me.
"Do you want to head back?" she asked, "I mean we can you know..."
"I do, I really do. I wonder if my sister is..." I said, remembering the tidal wave that had swept us apart.
"You have a sister?" Mia asked, "Why didn't you tell any of us?"
"I didn't see the need.... I didn't think... I didn't think she survived the tidal wave," I said, "But recently, I've been having some dreams, about her and it tells me that she might be alive!"
"How young is she? I remember you telling me that there were only two children left in Lamuria," Mia said.
"There are...because I thought she was dead. Mother had her very late in life," I said, "And maybe part of the reason Mother died was because she couldn't deal with the fact she had lost both of us..."
"PIERS!"
"Did you hear that?" Mia asked, "I could've sworn the water was talking!"
"No, it was more
the wind," I said with a sigh, "But it was probably nothing."
"Was your sister an adept?" Mia asked.
"Yes, but she was different in a way. She also could manipulate the powers of wind as well as water," I said.
"We all can you know...it all depends on our djinni!" Mia said.
"She didn't have any other than Water," I said, "And I promised...OH GOD I promised to bring her one! And I don't have one for her!"
"I'm sure Sheba might trade you one, or Ivan," Mia said, "They were talking about a change for a while..."
"But she wanted one to stay with her like her water djinni!" I said with a sigh, "If she's still alive..."
"I'm sure she is Piers," Mia said gently, "If she's of the water the water should protect her..."
"..." I didn't know how to respond to that.
"Let's go!" she said, "Let's go back to Lemuria and look for your sister!"
"Mia..." I said, "We don't know if she's even alive anymore, I haven't seen her in such a long time and when we were last there she wasn't or else she would've come to me!"
"But that mean any number of things! Maybe she's lost and can't find her way!" Mia said.
"But that would mean she's not in Lemuria anymore," I said with another sigh and glanced out towards the sea.
"So you hold out no hope?" she asked, "That isn't like you at all!"
"Its not that I hold out no hope... its just she was with me when the tidal wave came and we were separated. I couldn't protect her or keep her close to me... If we found her I bet you she'd probably hate me..." I said.
"I don't think that's true," Mia said, "She probably loves you and I bet she's as cute as you are... c'mon, we have to go and find her!"
"What about the celebration?" I asked, when in fact I didn't truly care for it.
"We can postpone it!" Mia said and stood up and began to run back to everyone, "Come on we have to get going, and let's go find you sister!"
"I've never seen you so energetic!" I exclaimed, "This isn't like you!" I followed after her, she seemed to be running faster than I was because I began to loose sight of her, and then she paused to wait for me to catch up.
"Well, that's because ever since the lighthouses have been lit, I wanted to make sure all the families that may have been separated can either find each other or find comfort if they lost their loved ones..." she said.
"Like you lost the other member of your clan, Alex?" I asked.
"..." Mia remained silent for a moment, "Yes, he was evil though... but I mourn the loss of anyone..."
"I know," I said and put a comforting hand on her shoulder but her sadness passed really quickly, "What?"
"Come on, we have to go tell everyone! Maybe we can find your sister a wind djinni too!" she exclaimed, "You know, before we go..."
"Alright, alright, just calm down Mia," I said and followed after. I had to keep up hope; my sister may yet still be alive.

A/N: That chapter sucked, right? I haven't worked on this story in such a long time, but I'll try to do it and I'll promise to do better next chapter... This one I pulled out just to see if I still was into it enough or if I needed to do some replaying of the gameboy to get inspired again... I need to get a little more inspired... off to the gameboy I go! Please don't flame me, I promise I'll change this if I can think of something better (which I might) and the chapters will be better and slightly longer after this as well! Thanks for being so patient!
