A/N Short and to the point. It might be a bit confusing, give me a yell if it's too confusing and I'll try to sort it out.
Chapter 5
Mommy Dearest
Kara flinched back from a fireball, she knew that she was inhabiting her sisters thoughts, a pat event, memories, but their power of the memory in Eve's mind was so strong, she felt the heat of the fireball as it sailed past her face.
She turned and looked at the person who had thrown the weapon and had she been in her own body she would have stepped back in horror. It was a face she hadn't seen in twenty years, so like her own and Eve's, and yet so different.
Her mother. Their mother.
Her mother, eyes blazing, vile words spewing from her familiar heart shaped mouth, their heart shaped mouth.
"I'll kill you!"
Her lips were pulled back, in an almost psychotic snarl.
The next fireball burned into her shoulder and as she was thrown back, the other demon, even though she couldn't bear to think of it, her mother leaped forward at her, at Eve, and pinned all her weight on her antagonist. Her mother wrapped her long taloned fingers round her neck, while Kara was trapped, like watching a snuff movie in 3D and surround sound, while what was happening to two of the closest biological members of her family and that one of them, namely her own mother was going to die at the end of it.
She could feel the taloned fingers tightening around her throat and her airway closing.
She felt Eve's word leave her lips, speak what would be her last words to their insane mother.
"I'm sorry, Ma." It was said so quietly it might have been though to be Eve's desperate, last attempt to get a lungful of air.
Then Kara felt a blast of mind numbing pain as the fireball that Eve had used to kill their mother burned the skin on her own arm and also the pain of the grief of bearing the responsibility of killing her own mother, whatever the reason.
In that moment, Eve, unable to cope with the pain of the memory any longer, pulled her hands away and the picture snapped out of Kara's mind.
The sisters stared at each other for a heartbeat before they collapsed into each others arms, sobbing.
A few moments later a Tantrix demon entered the cavern flanked by six others of her kind.
"Aww, how sweet...separate them."
Kara watched, helpless again, in her grief as the other demons surrounded her sister, subdued her and dragged her from the cavern, closing the magical cage behind them.
