First Few Days
Swallowing she walked inside. Really better, she wasn't. But yeah. She stepped into the dusky halway. It was extremely awfully quiet. The floor creaked under her feet. Panic crept around her heart. She found her mouth dry. The wheels of her suitcase squeaked and rubbed against the ground. She could hear her heart beating.
"He .. hello?" She looked around the corner.
You look more nerves than Emily, the first time, " She jumped a meter in the air.. "Bad conscience?"
"Kevin" the name rolled off her tongue.
"Hey, nice to see you again" He gave her a half smile. Dressed in a plain blue shirt and jeans. He had an apple in his left hand and took a bite out of it.
"Um, yeah" She looked down. 'Where'
"Are the others" Kevin made her sentence. "They are not happy, Serena, Emily '
"I know," she interrupted him. That was the last thing she could think. She had never seen Emily that really mad, she would rather see her smiling. The moment Emily came home she had not said a word against her. Serena had tried, but Emily always walked away from the room and hit the door stubbornly closed. "She hates me now, but I know" She looked around. "I think I will remain sleeping on the couch for awile, so '
"No way" Mentor Ji emerged. "You sleep with Mia in the room." With those words, he drew Serena's suitcase out of her hand. Serena closed her mouth to argue. She opened her mouth to protest, as she noticed it was pointless.
"He can be intrusive, but you get used to it." Serena looked down again. She stared aimlessly at the ground.
"I'll say hello" she sighed. Her feet felt like lead. She just could have hear mumrmuring a 'good luck' . She strolled down the halway. She knocked softly on the door. "Mia, can I come in?" She put her head in the doorway. The Pink Samurai sat with her back turned to her.
"This is your room now, why ask permission?" sounded angry.
"Oh, okay 'Serena saw her suitcase for the bed, Emily' s bed, lying. She bent down and put it carefully open. One by one she removed all her clothes out and laid on the bed. Right at the bottom she found a small, square packet. She frowned. Wrapped in newspaper and a yellow ribbon around it. She took it in her hands and shook it lightly.
'Serena? "She tore her attention away from the packet. "Here is your outfit" Jayden handed her a pile of black clothes.
"Thanks," she said.
"We train at 8 o'clock sharp, be on time" he snapped . She nodded. She looked back at Mia. She had made no movement. Jayden was already gone. Quick she set everything away. When Mentor Ji came to ask if she had eaten, she had 'yes' lied. She was not hungry. By the time everyone had gone to sleep, she sneak away from the room. She sat outside on the porch. The rain trickled down. It was a cold night, though nothing has been colder than the "warm welcome''
She understood. She didn't wanted to decrease Emily' s place, never. At the time Mentor Ji knew that it went better with her condition, he had called. She had been forced. Chills went on her spinal cord. She had to stand by and should say no. Now it was to late, everything was too late. Her sister hates her. The team of her sister hates her. Sometimes life sucks. She hit her arms around her knees. She remained there until the sun came up. Then she went back to the room and slept less than an hour.
The training began as Jayden had said exactly 8 hour. Only Mike was missings. Serena watched only provisional. 'Serena? "
"Mm?"
"You're not training?" Mentor Ji said . She shook her head descending.
"I prefer to watch a little while" The day went silent on. Nobody spoke to her, outside Kevin occasionally. The tension in the air was to be cut. Serena also ate alone. The others excused themself from the table when she came on. They came up with the excuse that they had things to do. Outside the training, she was also alone. For the first time in her life, since Emily had go the Shiba house, Serena felt lonely. Without someone to talk to or just embrace. Without her little sister.
A few of a hell days later
Serena sat back to watch. She was tired and her stomach grew into a pit. She hadn't really eaten in two days not really eaten, but that was not the problem. She tried to devise a solution, but she didnt find a thing.
"When are you going to enjoy them in fighting?"
"I am not ready '
"You're already staring a few days at them. You're more than ready for, believe me. You are Emily's older sister, as she could, than you can do it better. "
"What did you say?"
"Well" Before he could finish his sentence, Serena interrupted him angrily.
"Unbelievable!" she shouted. It allowed the others to stop what they were doing. "I am not and will never be better than Emily, I'm not her and I don't want! Emily should be here and not me! 'She saw red like boiling lava. "Don't you understand? Everybody hates me, everyone. I was forced to come here by you and now everyone hates me. "She burst into a coughing fit. Mentor Ji reached a hand toward her. She hit him off abruptly. "Leave me alone!" She ran insode and didn'"t showed up for the rest of the day. When everyone was asleep again, Serena crept back to the porch. Instead of sitting there, she went to the grass. It thundered. Bright flashes of lightning and thunder went through the air. She was alone in her yellow top and black apron effort. She did not care that she soaked. She hid her face in her knees.
"I'm sorry, Emily. You should be here, I do not belong here 'sounded muffled. "I'm a bad sister, a terrible person, a .." Something little light dropped over her shivering shoulders.
"You must go inside" came a gentle voice. She shrugged her shoulders. She did not care. 'Serena' Someone tugged on her shoulders. Reluctantly she agreed. She kept her head bent towards inside. "You must be cold '
"I must nothing" she snapped back. "I" She stopped. "I must nothing '
"Yes, you're right. Are you cold 'was then asked. Tired to think she nodded. Once inside, Serena looked up. Mia threw a blanket over her. Her robe was a bit wet on the back and her shoulders. Her long pink pajama pants seemed darker on the bottom by the rain. "You're soaked 'Mia wiped a few sticky blond hair out of Serena's face. "I see where Emily's stubbornness has come" she smiled. This was one of the first things that Mia had told her, since she was here. Nice things.
"Mia, I'm sorry 'Mia Vainly tried to smile back.
"It's not you. I must say sorry. You do not deserve to be treated like this '
"Somehow it '
"No, not somehowe, Serena. You go every evening on the porch, that's not right. We eat without you, that's not right. Although it is difficult for us. For your is it too. I will not deny that I want Emily back, but you are now also a part of it. It will not be easy, but it will get used. "Serena became touched. "Lets help you out of these clothes and then go to sleep, okay?" All that Serena could do was nod.
