Welcome back to WWAC! This is where things are gonna get a little more interesting with Sukari's sister coming back. I'll have more stuff for Wren soon. Enjoy!
"N-Ninalia?!" Sukari cried as she stared at her sister. Ninalia nodded and reached out to Sukari, who, in turn, recoiled at the foreign touch. "Where have you been, Nini?" Sukari asked. Nini backed up and took her hat off, revealing short, curly, black hair and her own brown, pupiless eyes, and then she shrugged.
"Everywhere and nowhere, baby sister," she replied in her accent.
"Where did the accent come from?" Sukari asked.
"I spent a little time in London in my search for you. I find the accent a tad hard to get rid of."
"Your search?" Nini looked back at Sukari, sadly.
"When I went back to the tree, you were gone. I had thought you went back to the house, but all I saw was…" she trailed off and wiped away a tear. "I'm sorry, Sukari. I wish I could've found help, but the dragon council denied my request. I came back and you were gone. I started looking for you instantly, but I couldn't find you. I've been searching around the world for you for the past eleven years. I never thought I'd find you by almost killing you." Nini suddenly stepped forward and hugged Sukari tightly. "I've missed you so much, Sukari." Sukari hesitated, but she then hugged back as sudden tears fell from her eyes.
"I thought you were dead too," Sukari said, "I thought the hunters or my father had killed you." Nini heard this and pushed back a little.
"Your father? That man was not Nagi," Nini said with her tone hard. Sukari looked down and took Nini's hands off her shoulders.
"Nagi is not my father, Nini," Sukari said quietly. Nini stepped back.
"T-that man…?"
"Yes," Sukari said, "he is my father by blood. It was him that took me from the sycamore tree and him that brought me here. I've been here this whole time under his… care." It was hard for Sukari to say the final word. Nini suddenly grabbed Sukari's chin and moved her face to the left. She saw the scar over Sukari's right eye and she glared.
"What has he done to you?" she asked with slight anger in her voice. Sukari moved her head.
"Nothing, Nini," she said shyly. She looked at her watch and realized that she was late in coming home. "Shit!" She grabbed Nini's hand and led her to the motorcycle. "Have you ever been on a motorcycle, Ninalia?"
"No," Nini said. She reluctantly got on the vehicle behind Sukari and held onto her. Sukari started the bike and did a 360 and went full speed down the route to the warehouse.
…
Sukari walked into the lair with Ninalia close behind her. She was instantly embraced tightly by Raphael.
"Where da hell were ya?!" he cried worriedly. "Ya leave without tellin' me and ya gone for two hours?!" Sukari pushed him away lightly.
"Raphael!" she said. "I'm fine. I was just on a ride. Nothing bad happened." Raph looked at Ninalia and his eyebrow crooked.
"Who are you?" he asked. Nini looked at him with her own eyebrow crooked.
"I'm Oruku Ninalia," she said. "I'm Sukari's sister." Raph's eyes widened and he looked at Sukari in confusion.
"It's true, Raph," Sukari said in assurance. "I found her in an alley. She was fighting someone." Raph nodded and put a hand out to Nini.
"I'm Raphael," he said as he shook her hand, "Sukari's boyfriend."
"A boyfriend?" Nini said with a small smile. She looked at Sukari. "Already found a future mate, I presume?" Sukari blushed as Nini and Raph broke apart.
"He already is my mate, Nini," she said with an embarrassed smile. Nini faltered for a moment before looking at Sukari again.
"How old are you?" she asked.
"I'm 16," Sukari said with her voice smaller. Nini nodded and looked back at Raph.
"Well," she said, "I certainly hope you treat her right, Raphael, or I'll have to show you how deadly pure-blood dragons are." Raph nodded with a smile and put his arm around Sukari's shoulder.
"Dat won't be a problem," he said as he and Sukari shared a secret smile.
"Nini," Sukari said, "do you have a place to stay?" Nini shook her head and looked down.
"I've been in the market for awhile," she said quietly. Sukari smiled and turned her head.
"Leo!" she called. Leo stepped out of his room and took one look at Nini. "She's my sister and she needs a place. If it's alright with you, she can use my old room." Leo narrowed his eyes and walked over to Nini.
"Do you have any weapons on you?" he asked. Nini showed him her nails and teeth.
"Just these," she replied. "Not much." Leo nodded and looked at Sukari.
"It's fine with me," he said. "By the way, Wren needs you." Sukari nodded and walked away to Wren's room, leaving Nini, Leo, and Raph to glance at each other awkwardly.
"So, where is Sukari's old room?" Nini asked with a smile.
…
"Wren, what is it?" Sukari asked as she sat next to Wren, who was crying nonstop. Sukari put an arm around her and rubbed her shoulder.
"I had a horrible dream," Wren said shakily. "I was back at the Underground and Josh was there. He kept beating me with a baseball bat until I couldn't move. He sicced his friends on me and they raped me, one by one." She cried harder and Sukari held her tighter. "They suddenly started hurting me again and they were screaming at me. They dragged me away into a truck and beat me even more. Before one of them hit me with a pipe, I woke up." She was soon sobbing loudly as Sukari rubbed her back.
"Wren," Sukari said softly, "It's okay now. You're not there anymore. We'll protect you always. Don't cry." Wren calmed down a little and looked back up at Sukari with a tearful gaze.
"Sukari?" she said with her voice quivering. "I think you're gonna be a great mother." Sukari looked at her in surprise and smiled.
"Thank you, Wren," Sukari said as she hugged her again. "Thank you."
