Chapter 21: Siblings
~Adriana Pov~
First I heard the wind blew through the trees around me, second I felt the cool ground under my body and third I opened my eyes to see someone lay a few steps away from me also on the ground.
Slow I came to my feet, felt shaky nonetheless.
Breathing hurt a little but that wasn´t quite important when I recognized the person laying on the ground.
"Adrian!"
As fast as my legs were able to do it I run to my twin brother, kneeling beside him.
Carefully I touched his warm cheek, tried to comfort him a little bit.
A soft whimpering sound escaped his lips.
But finally he opened his sun set coloured eyes to meet mine.
"Adrian... how are you feeling? Are you alright?"
I was so worried about him...
"Calm down, Hon´."
He smiled at me lazyly and I wanted to punch him but didn´t do it because his face was still way to pale for my benefits.
"I would if you just could stop provoking the deities! Damn, Adrian! They will probably kill both of us without caring!" I shouted at him angryly and his features softened.
"Don´t worry, baby girl. Won´t let this happen to you." He promised and sat up slowly.
"Don´t be stupid. I don´t care about me, Adrian. And now get up. We´ll search some help for you and I won´t heal you this time, idiot!" I growled at him but his only answer was an innocent smile I didn´t believe since we had been 4 years old.
Stupid idiotic guy!
"But, Dria, it hurts so much." He complained and I sighed desperately.
Not this time.
"Idiot."
He chuckled but went all serious again, when he locked his gaze on my face.
"I am sorry. You´ve been hurt because of me. Won´t happen again. Promise."
Soft fingers touched my forehead and I hissed in pain.
Blood coloured his fingers red when he showed me his hand.
"Don´t worry. I am not going to collapse hysterically because of a drop of blood."
Chuckling I just went on didn´t give him an opportunity to answer.
"I know that, but it´s yours nonetheless. I hate it." He grumbled all grumpy and I took his hand in mine.
"Let´s go. It´s this way, I think."
Adrian walked silently beside me, watched every step I took carefully.
"Why do you know where to go?" He asked skeptical.
"Don´t know. Maybe someone guides me?"
He didn´t like the idea of one of the deities guiding me, I knew that one but I was kind of sure that I knew that area.
"There are noises, aren´t there?"
I pulled Adrian after me, run to a big space after the trees.
"Sounds like people. But, Dria, please, stay on guard." He asked me silently took his arm around me when we went into the open.
"Don´t be an idiot, sweetheart." I told him smiling, went through this strange place.
I felt at home here.
"I know this place, Brother..." I told him puzzled, turned to face him.
He looked at me cautiosly but none of us did know this place.
Else he would have told me.
My vision blurred at the lines and I stumbled, saw a green light enlighten my brothers face.
"Stop, Dria! Don´t you dare say a word!" He told me off and I shuddered.
Dad´s voice called my name and I sank down on my knees, put my arms around myself and screamed.
Pain shot through my whole body, left it aching and shaken from pain.
"Darkness... Adrian... Darkness... Seperating the twins. Killing the sun. Turning all dark... Stop it... Adrian, stop it! Please! It hurts!"
I felt gentle hands on my shoulders but they weren´t my brothers.
I lifted my head, looked into blue eyes I faintly knew.
"C-C-Connor?" Whispering a name I thought I compared to those eyes I saw the whole awesome guy.
Being hot should be on a warrant.
Damn he was a handsome guy.
"Don´t eat that guy with your eyes, little one." Adrian told me amused but his eyes were cold as eyes.
He didn´t know this guy and he didn´t like me knowing his name.
"You alright, Princess? What was that?" The guy I named Connor asked me with such a soft tone I couldn´t help but shivver.
His touch felt familiar to me but I didn´t know this guy.
"It´s alright. Don´t worry... It was... was nothing. Maybe I am just stressed?" I asked as solution for all of us.
It wasn´t my best idea ever but the worst either way.
"Yeah, think so. It´s not a daily deal, right?" He asked gentle and helped me up.
Adrian pulled up an eye brow had this sarcastic smile on his face that always meant trouble.
"So? What do YOU think happened to my sister?" He asked politely and Connor turned to face him.
His face became grim.
"You happened to her. Obviously you aren´t able to keep her safe even a minute! Maybe you safed her to just kill her yourself!" Connor was angry with my brother...
But why was he? What did Adrian do?
"Ad... My head...", I whispered when everything became blurry and my legs became weak.
I fell...
but never hit the ground.
Somebody catched me...
Then everything turned black.
