Chapter 2
The Pain of Failure
This is all my fault.' Daphne Grimm thought over and over.
She's protected me threw it all. Even when I didn't realize it. She was all ways there for me, and the one time she needs me…I fail. I fail. I FAIL!
" ARRAGE!" She shouted at no one.
She fell to the ground sobbing taking in her surroundings.
She was back at camp. Tents and the smell of smoke was basically all it was, held together by a common purpose.
'war.' Daphne thought with a sneer.
This has been the first time the war had effected Daphne on this level. She had never felt pain like this before not even when she broke her leg and three ribs when she was 8 ½.
No, that hurt a lot…physically. This pain was, well, was just pure and utter pain shooting threw her body. She bet that if one of those aura people read her right now all they would get would be pain, pain, and you guessed it more pain.
If she had been asked to choose which type of pain to go threw again she would of said without hesitation
" Three broken ribs please with a side of crushed leg."
She laughed once without humor.
She banged her head on the wooden fence behind her. Not even noticing the dull throb growing in her skull.
She saw another flash coming from the infirmary. Another wasted amount of magic used on her sister. They had healed her body, but she still wouldn't wake up. I asked Uncle Jake why they couldn't just use magic to wake her up. And he said
" well the thing with comas are that there're extremely hard to get rid of. Even magic has a hard time with them…" then he mumbled the next part thinking she couldn't hear
" I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't wake up at all."
She felt her heart rise into her throat as she turned and ran to see her dieing sister.
Well… she wasn't dieing any more. But she couldn't see, talk, hear, or even respond to Daphne in any way. That just made her feel a fraction of a bit better.
Daphne moved the flap of the tent out of the way to see her family crowded around a single hospital like bed.
Her mother turned holding out her hand, waiting for Daphne to take it. Daphne studied her mother's face before taking her offered hand seeing her wet cheeks and broken hearted expression. She look around to see that her mom's expression was mirrored on every member of her family's face.
Mom, Dad, Uncle Jake, Granny, Mr. Canis, Red, …Puck.
But Puck also had another look in his eyes, something she couldn't quite identify.
It was similar to when Jake found out Briar had died.
Not a broken heart. A broken soul.
She looked away because she didn't want to become more upset.
She felt tears slide down her face freely. Not caring if she looked like a little girl. She had never seen Sabrina so helpless looking before and quite honestly… it scared her.
Her rock, her best friend, the person that was with her threw it all- thick or thin. Her sister…her hero. Was the one that needed her for a change.
She went and sat in the plastic chair by her bed side taking her unresponsive hand.
The she remembered what had happen before all of the fighting.
Flashback;
We were sitting in our cabin tent thing, she wasn't sure what to call it.
They were playing 'Go Fish!' with a deck of cards.
"Do you have a red 2?" I asked
She smiled " Go fish."
I grabbed a card and looked at it. I giggled. I had gotten the 'Queen of hearts' we had colored in the card's face like the real Queen's… It always made me laugh.
Sabrina grinned evilly at me and asked
"Do you have a Queen of Hearts?"
I groaned and handed her the card. She was beating me epically.
I groaned again and said
"Fine you win!"
"Yes!" she yelled getting up and doing a victory dance.
That's when we heard it. The twig break and a muffeled voice. I grabbed my wand and quickly headed to the door without even thinking.
Sabrina grabbed her sword but yelled in a hushed whisper
" Shouldn't we go get some back up just incase?"
I just gave her a look and left she followed instantly not letting me go by myself.
Let me tell you; I wished I had listened.
The three people waiting for us were not some cute little bunnies wanting to have a tea party.
They more like zombie bunnies wanting to have us for a tea party.
I ran into the woods. Sabrina following. As we ran they threw stuff at us. At first I didn't know what but then I recognized the blue dust, knockout dust.
"Sabrina," I yelled
"we have to find shelter or else they'll get us with that dust!"
She nodded and I could feel my lunges burning for the air I couldn't get
Then we got to the cliff. That stupid cliff.
You know the rest.
Looking back we could have yelled for help or I could have sent a flare up with my wand, but, I wasn't thinking.
And Sabrina paid the price.
Looking at Sabrina's closed eyes and peaceful face, I couldn't help but think
'This is it…'
I brushed leftover tears on my face away.
' The pain of failure.'
Was that good? Daphne may be a little OOC but she just basically just lost her sister give her a break. Well I love your guy's review thanks it makes my day when I get a new review!, should I do what puck was thinking next? I think I might. Have a nice day! =)
