Snippet #2351685

Corallium bristled once more at being called pup by Athena, but she said not a word. She would get hers soon enough and it would be at her own hands!

Instead, Corallium hugged her so called sister back, tears spilling from her eyes and then pushed out of the embrace dramatically giving Athena her back.

"Oh Athena!" She cried falsely. "I do not deserve your kind words sister. I was wrong! So very wrong and what I did was unforgivable."

Turning sharply she stalked back to where Athena stood and grasped the War Maiden's upper arms in her hands.

The immediate future suddenly flashed through Corallium's mind. Her ire blazed into a bonfire of flames. It would appear Indris had called a meeting in her lair and had invited everyone except her! Well! Corallium thought in bitterness. She never needed an invitation to turn up where so ever she pleased!

Indris indeed . . .

However for now she must deal with the matter at hand first.

"But you must believe me sister, I did not do it on purpose. I swear to the Moderator I was . . . I was tricked." Coral stated adamantly before she began to sob again.

"That treacherous beast!" She spat in cold fury in-between sobs. "He spoke sweet words of love to me and told me he wanted to change! And the fool that I am, I believed him and thought I could help him . . . Change him! How was I to know he was a fraud! A liar! A lecher!"

With an inner smile Coral wondered how Revan would take to know she was cursing him to the high heavens. No doubt, he would find it greatly amusing. How she missed his wicked smile . . . She wondered how he was fairing? And more so with a little vexation, what the devil he was up to?!?

She did not like being left out!

Suddenly turning hauntingly gray red rimmed eyes to lock with Athena's Corallium swore loyalty.

"I swear sister I will help you anyway I can . . . Alas, I only fear I cannot tell you much about Lord Justice's disappearance. Though I was there I thought him meditating . . . trying to find peace within himself . . . but obviously I was sorely mistaken."

Casting her gaze down in repentance Corallium spoke in a very child like voice, sniffling while silent tears streamed down the apples of her pale cheeks.

"W-will you truly not let him harm me?"

Turning a gravely innocent gaze upon her sister . . .

"I'm scared . . ."
