Corrupted Redemption

We all meet in Sinead's office. We have to make a sound plan to get Lexi back. We don't know who has her or how she will react. I sit on Sinead's lap and mindlessly draw circles on his hand. Ilad and Jara are sitting across the desk. The silence right now is deafening.

"Soooo..." jara says drawing the "O" out. Sinead adjusts me on his lap before clearing his throat. "I have news but I don't want you to get too excited." He looks at Ilad softly but then deadpans his brother. They sit forward in their chairs. Ilad holds a ready to fight and serious fave but both of their eyes hold hope.

"Oh come on man, out with it! We're aging here!" Jara jests. Sinead looks at me and I nod. "It's about Lexi. She was scented in a town over. It was fresh and we think she's being held there." Sinead says in a single breath. Jara stands up abruptly and oddly so does Ilad. I mean I guess because Lexi is her best friends sister.

"Ok so lets go. Why are we still sitting here." Jara says in a wobbly voice. Simead stands and places me on his chair. "Jay." He says softly but Jara just starts pacing. Lexi is the only mother he's ever had. Sinead walks around the desk and pulls his brother into his arms.

Jara's body rocks with sobs. And it doesn't go unnoticed to me that Ilad is too crying but aggressively wiping the tears away. Clenching and unclenching her hands. Jara curls into his brother the bes the can. He's an inch or two shorter then sinead at almost 12. To most he's already so intimidating but in reality he's just a child eho needs love.

"We have to get her nead. We have to." He cries. Sinead rubs his back and quickly pinches tears from his own eyes. At this point we are all crying. Sinead steps back and wipes Jara's face and then his own. Sinead stands tall and Jara mimicks his move.

They clasp each other's left forearm and place their right fists over their hearts. They beat against their chest three times. Three siblings, three heart beats. They've done this since their mom doed and Jara could walk.

It was a promise to their sister to get her back. And to kill anyone eho stands in the way. They nod at each other and Jara turns and leaves. Ilad not far behind. I assume they are going to gather a team.

At just 12 Jara is already one of our strongest warriors outside of Sinead and Ilad. No matter his age, we wouldn't dare tell him he has to stay behind. This was is hero in his eyes. Operation Save the Ridgewolf princess was now in affect. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
