Chapter three! Hope you guys liked that last chapter (and this one!). So Farina has met up with her other two sisters…and one of them isn't too happy. So this chapter Farina will interact a bit with her sisters and things won't go so well… Not to mention any names, but a certain teal haired, older sister doesn't make Farina's welcome so warm…

Read and review!

Previous Chapter:

Said sister gaped right back, not daring to think or breathe, not daring to speak.

Talk about awkward silences.

The most timorous out of the three, broke the heavy stillness that blanketed them all.

"Farina?"

Sisters Reunited

Farina blinked, not trusting her normally impeccable vision. My eyes must be going…it's as if I see Fiora glaring at me! But that can't be so…right? Ho boy. Farina thought anxiously. There was no way, she reasoned with herself, that out of all of the pegasus knights in Ilia; these were the two assigned to this team. The chances were one in a million! I guess Farina is naturally lucky…or unlucky; depending on how you see it. It wasn't so favorable to her right now.

"Farina…" Fiora breathed out. Trying out her younger sister's name on her tongue, it felt foreign. Fiora's surprise quickly turned to bitter distaste. She runs away to feed her greedy stomach only to come back…like this? We meet again…here? On a bloody battlefield is where us sisters, catch up? Fiora growled to herself. She is not a happy camper at the moment.

Three brave (or stupid) monks aimed their light magic for Farina. I say stupid because who in their right mind would attack three emotionally charged up sisters with sharp objects in their hands? I certainly would not. But like I said, they were stupid.

"Were" being the operative word here.

Farina ducked in time to dodge two of the attacks but collided with the third. It wasn't severe damage; her magical resistance was stronger than that. Her anger management skills however…?

Not so much.

Fiora launched her javelin first, striking the one closest to her sister and screamed, "Can't you see we're talking!?" Apparently, Fiora's anger management skills aren't much better than her sister's.

Farina was next and heaved her javelin straight through an eye. Ouch. I guess that's what you get for interrupting a family meeting. She also yelled, "How rude, you money grubbing mercenary!" Quite ironic when considering who was presently talking.

Florina was last to strike down her foe and only because her sisters were glaring at each other. Sisters should not fight like this. I do not want my sisters to fight! Florina thought, already close to tears. Why can't we all just love each other and never quarrel? They always fight…it's not fair to me. Back home, I just sat there while they fought over the littlest of things. Who was right, who was wrong. I just want it to stop and get better… Why can't they just—grow up already! Ooh, Florina's getting all testy… Is this what all family reunions are like?

"So…hey, Sis." Farina said carefully, testing the waters as she spoke. The waters were cold…freezing to be exact for Fiora's answer was glacial.

"Hey, yourself." If icicles could form off words, hers would have. Eep! Farina shouted silently. Man, she's irate! I've only seen her this angry when…um, actually she's always this angry. I just forgot what it used to be like with her. Ah, those were the good days…no Fiora telling you what to do, no Fiora telling you what not to do… Maybe I should just go on fighting and avoid her the entire trip! Yeah…yeah, that sounds like a good idea!

"What are you smiling about, Farina?" Fiora sneered (forget icicles, there goes the glaciers). Hostility from Fiora frosted Farina from her money obsessed head to her gold snatching toes. She gulped. Florina stood there unnoticed, left alone to quietly brew over her sisters' immaturity. She, at least, happened to notice the brigade of enemies now encircling them. Too bad the other two were oblivious to it.

"O-Oh, look! Enemies; must be off! C'mon, Murphy!" Farina diverted her attention to the surrounding group of monks and pegasus knights gathering at the spectacle the sisters (or rather just two sisters) made. Whoa…when did all these guys get here? Farina thought dumbly.

See! She's always trouble, that girl. She made me unfocused and I digressed from the battle scene. Now we're surrounded! Fiora blamed Farina mentally.

Sisters…always placing the blame on the other… But can't argue here, Fiora is distracting her (heh).

Farina shot up into the skies, taking on the pegasus knights that followed. Okay, just make sure that we're no where near Fiora's attack range so in case of Fiora goes all berserk-y and let's-go-kill-Farina happy, we'll be fine. Whew. Farina thought, already fearing for her life.

Farina danced in the skies, felling her enemies as they advanced upon her. She had flown astray and was now floating above the ocean where Hawkeye and Dart were sending their foes to Davy Jones' Locker (or the FE locker for lost souls). The commander of Caelin's knights took a brief break to look up at the sky and marvel at Farina's airborne prowess. He was truly amazed and almost…entranced.

Ooh, he picked the wrong sister to be "entranced" with…

Ah, that must be Farina, the newest recruit into our army. Raine told me of her… She said that she's one for gold and that she's a sister of Florina and…the teal haired girl. I had no idea Florina had so many sisters. Perhaps Farina is not like her other sisters…Elimine only knows we did not have the greatest of impressions. I will give her another chance, I think. It is only fair. But first, I'd really like to meet this Farina…, Kent thought distantly. How chivalrous of Kent, to give Fiora another chance! Elimine willing, she won't mess this one up… Or you know, maybe Elimine isn't so willing…

Farina's escape left all the monks for the fuming Fiora and psychologically unbalanced Florina. It was a battle between a good fifty monks against Fiora and Florina. Who do you think is going to win, really? The monks… (snorts)?

Fiora watched her younger sister soar, lance in hand. I'll deal with her later; now, we fight. Fiora decided. Plus, it's not like Farina can do any more damage than she already has. Even she's not capable of any more drama!

How's that saying go? Don't count your chickens before they hatch (wait, chickens don't hatch…)? No, no… Well, either way, Fiora just jinxed herself. Never, ever say "oh she can't do any more damage…" because she'll find a way to. It's Murphy's Law. Don't they teach anything at the Ilian schooling system?

"Come on, Florina. Your darling sister has left her enemies for us to deal with. Isn't that so like her, Florina? Always leaving when a problem arises? I'm telling you, that girl never takes responsibility for any of her actions—" Florina at this point was past her boiling point. Yes, even the meek ones can get there. Even the really docile ones like Florina.

"Will you just be quiet, Fiora!" As soon as those words were out of her mouth, Florina regretted it. Fiora looked shocked and appalled, all at once. For the first time in Fiora's natural born life, Florina had talked back to her. The incredulity meter in Fiora's brain must have exploded from the incomprehensibility of the whole situation.

"A-Ah…Sister…I did not mean… What I m-meant… Pay me n-no mind… Sister, please…I a-am sorry…" Florina stuttered all the way through. Her small hand covered the mouth that had just verbally slapped her elder sister. Oh no…now Fiora will be mad at me as well as Farina… Another side of her, the stronger side, laughed. Did you see her face? It was classic. Fiora deserved it and you know it. She's always trying to control everything and everyone. You know for a fact that's why Farina left. She felt suffocated. And you do too. She always walks all over you and tells you what to do. And guess what? You comply. So don't feel bad, Florina. Feel good, you just stood up for yourself! She won't be mad anyway!

Um…wrong, Florina's conscience. She is major P.Oed right now.

Ooh, Florina just talked back to Fiora (at the worst time possible, I may add). So are things heating up between Fiora and her sisters? Fiora vs. Farina plus Fiora vs. Florina and Fiora vs. Kent and don't forget a personal favorite, Fiora vs. Fiora. I almost pity Fiora…look at all the conflicts she has… She had it coming—anyway, review please! I luv hearing from you guys:P
