Sorry I haven't updated for so long But I remembered and here's the next chapter. It explains a tiny bit about Liane's past. It's kinda shocking. I dont know, you decide

Awakenings

I jumped over the side of the ship once we docked, and jumped up and down happily.

"We're here! We're here! We're here!" I squealed.

I clasped my fists together and kept jumping up and down, glad to be off the boat, until I felt Liane's hand on my shoulder, gently pulling me along. Everyone had started off without me. I screamed and ran after them, a little angry.

"Hey! You shoulda waited for me!" I put my hands on my hips and pouted at them.

"Quiet, Rikku. We have no time for your insolence," Auron said angrily.

I kicked the ground and followed him along to a dock. Tidus was close behind me, and I could hear him muttering things to himself. It was kinda cute…

There were lots of shipping crates around me, and a boat here and there. Sometimes we came across charred and twisted pieces of metal, and I suddenly saw the smoke coming from the centre of Luca. I frowned again.

"Smoke," Lulu said.

"She's been here," Liane said breathlessly.

I shook my head and sighed. This was going to be harder than I thought. The others were looking a little peeved too, so I avoided asking questions for the time being.

Auron glanced at me, but looked away quickly. Wakka stepped forward.

"We goin' or not!"

"We'll go soon, we must be cautious though. Yuna may still be here and on the rampage." Liane giggled.

Wakka folded his arms across his chest.

"Well hurry up, ya?"

I checked my pouch for grenades and straightened my hair. Liane smoothed her long flowing deep blue summoner's gown and practiced a few small spells on the crates nearby. I looked away and moved forward a few steps.

"Alright, let's go," Liane said softly and moved swiftly towards Luca.

I ran after her and could hear Tidus also running behind me. I smirked a little and quickened my pace. We'd get to Luca in no time. Suddenly, Liane started running. Then Wakka and Lulu. I heard some laughter behind me, and I Realized this had turned into a race. But of course, I was a master at this type of thing.

I sped up listening to the huffs and pants of the others behind me. So I was getting ahead. I banked around a corner and continued running, until a man stepped out suddenly from an alleyway. It was so sudden; I didn't have time to stop and crashed right into him, screaming and kicking.

"Hey, girl, watch where you are going!" he barked at me, and I untangled myself quickly and jumped up.

"Why don't you? You stepped out right in front of me!"

He was a much older man, with dark brown hair and brown eyes. His face was tanned and had stubble along his jaw line.

"What's wrong?" I heard Liane pant behind me, coming to a stop.

"Oh nothing, I just bumped into this man." I said simply and folded my arms across my chest.

"Summoner Liane!" The man suddenly gasped and fell into a Yevon prayer.

I raised an eyebrow. "You know this creep?"

I distinctly heard the others coming up behind us.

"I remember now… You are that man who helped me with my studies one night, aren't you?" Liane narrowed her eyes.

"Well… Uh… Yes…" he stuttered and ruffled his hair nervously.

"But you took advantage of me being alone, didn't you?" Liane stepped forward, starting to sound angry. "You are lucky I didn't get pregnant!"

I gasped, and stepped away. The man stared blankly at her, unable to come up with a response.

"You still remember…" he murmured.

"Yes, of course I remember! How could I Forget something as traumatic as that?" Liane shouted.

"You deserved it." He said and crossed his arms, smirking.

"Get out of my sight. You are lucky I'm not calling the police on you." Liane flicked her hand at him and he growled at her.

"Your Father never knew, and it will stay that way. No one will ever know, or I'll be back." And he slunk away towards Luca.

After he had disappeared, I turned on Liane.

"Why didn't you tell me of this?" I asked.

"It isn't important."

Lulu crouched down by her. "When did this happen?"

Liane sighed and looked away. "Five years ago, when I was in training to be a summoner."

"Who is he?" Tidus asked suddenly, and I jumped.

Liane stared at him, her eyes glassy. "He is an evil person. He did so many bad things, and then he targeted me. Seeing me as a young girl, confused about what I should do. He knew I wouldn't understand. I was… foolish."

"You let him do this to you?" I suddenly cut in.

"No, not really. I didn't know what he was doing for a while, and then it registered in my head. But by then it was too late to do anything about it."

"Oh, Liane. I had no idea this happened to you…" I said sadly and stepped closer to her, taking her hand. "Are you ok?"

She shook her head. "The memories, the thoughts are back. But there was something else."

She fell still, her eyes wandering from person to person. It was silent until Lulu broke the peace.

"What?"

She looked at her quietly, and then closed her eyes holding back tears. "He is my step-brother."
