Finch lingered outside of the camp. Silently she watched as Chem and the preformers stood there talking. Her mind raced with thoughts. She was about to go in and get Chem when they walked into a tent. "Damn." She said looking ahead and moving out from behind the tree she was behind.
She walked into the tent after a five minute waiting period and stelthly moved among the preformers. The group of people Chem was with sat down at an empty table getting situated to eat as she neared. The feeling of triuph filled her mind and she smiled brightly as she approached. She was now behind Chem and placed a hand on her sholder. Chem turned around to face the person behind her and almost screamed seeing it was Finch. "Finch!" She yelled looking shocked.
Everyone at the table looked over to see what was going on. Finch, a girl taller than Chem by a few inches with short black hair with a gold streak that went over her right eye, which were red like Chem's and wearing combat boots, camoflauge pants, and black tank top, stood there. She smiled at Chem and nodded folding her arms. "Do you want to go outside and discuss this, or shall we be letting all your friends know why you left your home." Finch said smirking and Chem got up looking angry.
She turned to look at her friends, who were now staring at her questionably. "I'll be back i na moment." Chem said, bitterness seeping through her words as she turned from them and follow Finch out of the tent.
Chem and Finch stood outside looking at eachother in a death glare for about two minutes, waiting for the other to begin the inevidable conversation. "So you found me." Chem said looking at Finch up and down thinking to herself. "Now what?" She asked, sacrasm ever present.
Finch growled and smacked Chem across the face making her face turn to the side. "Don talk to me like that you insolent brat!" Finch growled drilling a glare into Chem's eyes as they glared at one another.
"You dont control me anymore." Chem said turning her back to Finch. "Neither does father, and i will not go back, so dont even try to make me." Chem said bluntly and walked off into the tent.
Finch growled, her hands curling into tight fists. She stormed in after her sister in rage. Chem was half way back to the table. Very few preformers were in the tent now. Darren, Evra, Truska, and the others were there. Along with a few other people, Mr.Tall included. Finch grabbed her arm jerking her back. "You can not ignore me!" Finch yelled throwing Chem to the ground.
Evra jumped from his seat and raced over moving infront of Chem. "Leave her alone!" He yelled shocking some of his friends, since Evra's usually quiet and keeps to himself around other people, becuase of his past.
Chem sat up and got to one knee looking up at Evra. "Evra go sit." Chem told him getting up looking twards Finch, who was mad and ready to kick someone's ass. "She's my sister, and I'll get rid of her." She moved Evra out of the way without pushing him to much and walked up to Finch, clutching her hand tight into a fist.
A glowing blue light formed around her hand as she moved her hand to Finch's stomach, gazing up at her menacingly. "Leave now, i do not wish to harm my own flesh and blood, but if you put any harm or threat twards me or this circus I'll be forced to." Chem said, only to get a smirk in return.
Finch laughed, throwing her head abck enthusiastically. "Any harm that comes to this circus is on your hands. This was not your home, and it never will be. If you dont coem with me father will not send someone as, how should i say this, forgiving, as myself. This could very well cause harm to your so called friends, and this circus that they call home." Finch said smiling, moving Chem's hand away, which light deminished as Chem's head looked down to the floor.
Everyone in the tent was tense and nervous as Finch spoke. Chem looked up hatred in her eyes as she moved away from Finch slightly so they were about a yard apart. "I've only been here a day and i feel more athome than i ever did at the palace, can't you and father forget about me and go on with your lives? Or are you just to bored and demeaning that you have to send members of the guard after me for no reason other than leaving?" Chem spat at Finch's feet.
Tears started to well up in her eyes, knowing that she could not win this battle. Chem couldn't let any harm come to this place she had called home for a day, and these people who had accepted her into their lives. She didn't hate her sister. She was only obeying orders. Chem knew her sister envied her, not part of the royal guard who had to obey her fathers every command. Her sister was the one that was encouraging her to leave when she had first wanted to, but just because she didn't want to take Chen back didn't mean she wouldn't. Chem knew for a fact that Finch was a highly respected warrior and even if she couldn't bring her back alone she'd come back with reinforcements and drag her back to the palace kicking and screaming the whole way if she had to. "I have my orders, and you know that i am one to obey." Finch said placing a hand on her sisters sholder. "I am sorry, i wish i could just say that when i found you that you were dead or something, but even then father would demand that i bring home the body for proof and if i refused i'd be thrown in prison, even though i am the daughter of the king." Finch said sympathetically. "I will bring you home, if not me, it shall be someone else. That person could kill everyone here just to find you and father wouldn't care, so i suggest you come now and not wait for the inevidable to happen if you stay."
Evra looked at Chem as she nodded, as did the rest of the group of friends that had gotten up and moved closer for support throughout the conversation. Evra ran over as Finch aproached Chem and stood between them. "Please, is there some way you could leave her here." He asked hope filled his eyes and spoke in his words.
Finch looked at Evra and then to Chem. "She can not stay here, she is needed at the palace." Finch explained. "She is the heir to the throne and can not just wander around like some common human with no point in life that to destroy this earth and live miserablely in pain and suffering for a life never lived to the fullest. She is a princess and must come home." Finch said directed at Evra and then turned to Chem. "Chem, father doesn't have long to live, you know that. You must come back and take the throne or chaos will erupt throughout the land." She said pleadingly.
Chem looked enraged. "Why is it that I must be the heir, your older, stronger, more applied for this job." Chem demanded furiously.
Finch nodded in agreement and paced the room slightly. The only preformers left now were Mr.Tal and the group of support that Chem called friends. "Yes, I agree with you completely sister, but father does not. He says the kingdom needs a new era, someone unlike him who can make a change. A difference. I am not that person. You are. Your not strict or heartless. Your carefree. You can help the kingdom in more than one way. We need you." Finch said and looked around at everyone. "Chem you must come, not for my sake, or fathers sake, but for the sake of the kingdom. Please, Chem, you must understand."
Chem nodded and sighed as she felt as if the weight of the world were on her sholders. She turned to her friends and frowned. "I know most of you wont care like i do, but I must leave. I felt a home in this place, but it can not be my home nor can I live here any longer. I've stirred up trouble for you so far and I've only been here a day. Im sorry about everything, and even though you will probably not remember me, I will certainly remember each one of you. Thank you." Chem said smiling to mask the pain which was inside.
