Chapter 11 Not one of us
(Why did I do it? for fun! oh and just for a heads up, lots of random names made up.)
(Aliac POV)
It has been at least three weeks since I found my "sister", Rose, the lost Lotus. Yet though today everyone had to come to the Council Meeting. Rose soon was able to get along with my friends as well, especially Aura. What could I say, Aura could get along with anyone, but get on her bad side, and you wish you never did.
"Morning Aura, where's Rose?" I asked her.
"Council Meeting, was taken when she woke up. I wonder what that was about," Aura said, not looking up from her breakfast.
"I forgot, she hasn't been judged yet," I said remembering, "I hope she is innocent."
"Well, we have to go, just eat your breakfast on the way," Aura said handing me my rice cake.
We were rushing to the meeting, I was trying to eat my breakfast and we arrived, a little late though.
"Lotus, daughter of Sugawara and Savannah whom now are deceased," Lin Wei started, "you had abandoned the Moon Tribe almost fifteen years ago, and now you come back to be judged to stay. I pass my judgment now. You are to be exiled!"
"No," Aura and I whispered so no one could hear.
(Rose POV)
"Deception," sang Li.
"Disgrace," sang Lo Lung.
"Evil is plain as the look on her face," sang Lin Wei.
That was when I knew I had to escape. I had my Speed Cards with me, if I could get as far away from here as possible, then I could use them to escape.
"Deception," sang Khan.
"An Outrage," sang Lin.
"Disgrace," sang Fao Lao.
"For shame," sang Fina.
"You know these traitorous types," sang Lewa
"She asked for trouble the moment she came," sang Lin Wei
I never wanted to cause trouble; I just wanted to go home. I should have just stayed with my friends.
"See you later you little traitor," they all sang except for Aura and Aliac.
"Deception," sang Khan.
"An Outrage," sang Lin.
"Return to your exile," sang Foorao
"Disgrace," sang Fao Lao.
"For shame," sang Fina.
"Traitor return to you kind," sang Tsuza
"She asked for trouble the moment she came," sang Lin Wei
"See you later you little traitor," sang Luno and Laura.
I know where I'm not wanted now. I was close to the edge of the Celestial Plain if I could sky dive down, then I could use the Speed Cards.
"Born in Light" sang a Moon Tribe warrior.
"Raised in Dark," sang another.
"Chose to defy her fate," the both sang.
"Let her run, let her live but do not forget what we cannot forgive," sang Lin Wei
"She is not one of us, she has never been one of us, she was never a part of us, not our Kind," they all sang except for Aliac and Aura.
"Someone once left us, now she has returned, but we know what she has done and we know she will never be one, of us," sang Lin Wei.
"She is not one of us," sang Lotus, another girl given the name.
"Deception," sang Cora.
"Disgrace," sang Lotus.
I had turned around faced everyone and their hurtful words.
"Deception," sang Cora.
"Disgrace," sang Lotus.
Seeing they will never accept me, with my Speed Cards in my pocket, I leapt off the edge, somersaulted to catch some air and allowed myself to plummet down streamline, eyes closed. I was leaving the Moon Tribe by force.
"Deception," sang Lotus. (A/N: I sort of messed it up. I first used the lyrics I found on Lion King Wikia but fixed it later on and somewhat made it work out for Rose's situation.)
(Aliac POV)
I couldn't believe it, why would Rose be exiled from the Moon Tribe? True she had lived within the darkness, but is full of light and has brought joy to the younger kids. I envy them, they are told she would be gone for a while when they don't know she was exiled. Lotus was over looking at the edge seeing it until the moment that Rose seemed to disappear; she turned around walking towards me.
I could tell the difference between Lotus and Rose by their eyes. Lotus' eyes are cold black eyes, showing no warmth; whereas Rose's eyes are a bright cerulean blue showing light within.
"Come on Kale, let's go have dinner to celebrate the exile of that horrid girl," Lotus said. True her name meant that she was as beautiful as a lotus flower itself, but her cruel words were like venom to my ears.
"Why would he want to celebrate Rose's exile?" Aura asked, now looking over the ledge as if she was going to follow Rose.
"Why you ask? She never belonged here, she was an outsider after all," Lotus said.
"No, I was the outsider, yet I belong here, she sacrificed what a life she could have had so then I would live. Aura's right I wouldn't want to celebrate Rose's exile. Rose was my sister after all," I told Lotus.
"Well it looks like you have to choose now, the beautiful me or that stubborn Aura," Lotus said. Luna and Kiel just came because they chose to skip the meeting.
"I choose Aura," I said walking towards her, "Luna, Kiel, I always said I wanted to do something with the estate. I guess I never will because Luna, Kiel, I've always felt you two were meant for each other. You two could have the estate."
When I looked into Aura's eyes seeing she was grateful of me, seeing how much I was sacrificing, my estate and my friends. We held each other's hands, closed our eyes and jumped off, following Rose in her path. I know I made the right choice.
