On the Flip Side

Disclaimer: This is the second story in a trilogy in the making between the poster Meline Kana Noriuma and myself. We will be bringing the first one back soon-ish and we'll work on it as well as this one in hopes of one day actually finishing them all. We don't mind feedback as to telling us why it is a decent a story or why you think it's a crappy one but we would prefer if you sent it to us in pm's rather than disrupt our posting style.

Keep in mind we are just armateurs and our doing this for fun rather than because we are highly talented people trying to rub it on people who aren't. That's not us, and if you do not make fun of us we will not report you or give you any trouble. Thanks in advance for understanding.

((I couldn't have said that better myself Caer. Oh wait I think I all ready did. grgh!!))

A few months had passed since the trio of girls had killed Circe's father with some help from the boys-Mikeeshiro threw Pyr-a's story into the trash can.
"Ok. I get it. You guys did a little bit more of the work."
"Damn right we did!!" Pyr-a just smirked.
"I'm only writing our history book. Why are you getting so hot-blooded?"
"Because it's history not fantasy Pyr-a! Shi-keth!! Control your woman!"
"I'm not his woman!" Pyr-a gritted her teeth at her friend. A few months has passed since they had killed Circe's father and her and Shi-keth has gotten into yet again another fight and broken up. This time she didn't even know what it was about. She just knew that it pissed her off.
"Oh not again. Shi-keth make up, make out,screw her, do something. Get her out of this foul mood before the other two join in. I can't take it! This is vacation time!!"

"Not so loud, jeez!" Alstarren hollered at them, "Forget about our patient did we?" She charged back up the stairs, food for herself and a new supply of herbs, and a few books as well to keep her company in Circe's room. She still hadn't woken up, and Alstarren was still trying to figure out what had happened to her.

She looked over the notes she had written down, starting from the beginning. About two months before the battle Circe had suddenly disappeared, leaving a personal and cruel note for everyone...except Mikee, he had gotten a more personal one. Al picked up the burned remanents and read the words that refused to be destroyed. 'I lied. I never loved you Mikeeshiro. I was using you, and even that wasn't worth it.'

Al had a rough bit of information after that. The tattoo at the base of Circe's neck was used to control her somehow, made her fight against them...it was some sort of curse, but no one knew who had placed it. The curse wouldn't fade or go away until the caster was dead. What if it's more than one caster? The thought dashed through her head. She hadn't seen the mark before Circe's father was killed in the battle, so she couldn't compare to see if there was any change to prove her theory.

Another bit clue as to what happened had been supplied from Mikee's memory, although he didn't know that Al had seen it. It was gruesome. He had fought Circe, and using her herbs, she made him prone, and took most of his life force. She left him to die with horrible wounds, clinging to the edge of life. He watched her heal herself with his own life and go off to slaughter numerous comrades in arms. He couldn't be seen by any allies for help, but strangely no enemies spotted him either. As the battle drew near an end Circe had come back to him. She wasn't hurt, but she was sobbing. She apologized, over and over to him, all the while giving him back his life, and healing his wounds by forcing them to be hers instead. She didn't stop until she was lodged deep in a comatose state.

Al touched Circe's forehead, looking for her thoughts. No change, she was still reliving her horrible deeds, and all sorts of worse things were happening to her friends. Lonely, desperate thoughts were her only friends, and Alstarren couldn't get her out. She had tried and tried, but Circe still hadn't woken up. She was frail-looking and if it wasn't for the IVs and Al's medicinal know-how that she learned from Circe's grimoires, her best friend would be dead and everyone would be grieving.

"I'm sorry." Mikee grumbled some incoherent babble. "Shi-keth please! It's bad enough we're hurting over one person. Cheer Pyr-a up. Do something! She needs you!! Otherwise when her sister gets here she won't have a sister anymore."

Pyr-a just grumbled. "There's nothing Shi-keth could do to even turn me on. Why bother having him try?" She closed her laptop wishing she could find that be damned Latin book that hid all their notes as to who did what. It was driving her crazy.

"Is that so?" Mikee smirked. "Shi-keth that was so a challenge."

Caer Ibormeith · #5 (**permalink**) 02-02-2008, 10:45 PM

Shi-keth smiled softly. "You know that's not true Pyr-a." He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her firmly, pinning her arms to her sides. "Do you really want to challenge me?"

Meline Kana Noriuma · #6 (**permalink**) 02-02-2008, 10:48 PM

"With you it's not really much of a challenge is it?" Yup. She was totally pissed and egging him on for a fight. They both knew how it would end but the struggle would be something to remember regardless. He'd actually have to try this time around.
"Should I get some popcorn?" Pyr-a just flipped Mikee off after slipping into a shadow almost dragging shi-keth in and leaving him. But she was nice and didn't.
"I'm over here lover boy." She let a feral grin spread across her face.

Caer Ibormeith · #7 (**permalink**) 02-02-2008, 10:58 PM

"Lover boy, huh?" Shi-keth smirked, "I'll show her and take those words to a different level." He winked at Mikee and ran after Pyr-a. ~Maybe you should visit Circe...~ Shi-keth telepathed to Mikee quickly.

Mikee just grumbled. he hated when Shi-keth was right even when he was chasing after a girl. Slowly he stood up and began the trudge upstairs to that which was Circe's room. He knocked lightly on the door. "Can, can I come in Al?"

Pyr-a just giggled and started running up the stairs. She wanted to make it fair so she didn't pop in and out of shadows. Instead she was aiming for his open bedroom door and was going to slam it in his face.

Caer Ibormeith · #9 (**permalink**) 02-02-2008, 11:09 PM

Shi-keth could make a rough guess that if he wasn't careful, he was going to earn a broken nose within the hour. Or, at least, that is what his common sense was telling him...but right now he wasn't listening to common sense.

Al opened the door, since her mouth was full of pizza. She then resumed her spot next the Circe. An extra chair was seated very close to the bed, as if she knew he was going to come visit her that day.

"You girls creep me out with how close you know each other. Even when one or all of you seem to be knocked out. You know this right?" He made his way to the chair and poked it a few times to make sure it was safe. These three were tricksters. Even when one was on their death bed the other two still found time to play jokes.

Pyr-a took an extra spurt of speed and ran to the room only to trip up on a pair of his silk boxers and go sliding in almost under the bed. "Ga!!! Ouchies!!!"
