Gabriel stopped yelling when he felt a jab in his stomach. He missed what the girl had said and figured that he better apologize anyways. But instead of saying something, he said nothing. When he finally got the words out of his mouth he didn't apologize but asked a simple question. "Are you Lily?"
He silently facepalmed himself in his mind and grabbed his bag up, right when his sister came through the same way he came, panting clearly out of breath.
Before he could even comprehend why she was there she smacked him right across the face. "You, jerk had me worried. Why in the world would you do that? Was it because of her?" Lireal was pointing directly at the girl she saw there. Gabriel soon leaned in closer to Lireal and whispered somethings in her ear, "The voices, they were tempting me again."
Lireal looked at her brother, and then looked at the girl, "It was her wasn't it?" Lireal turned and started walking towards the girl, but Gabriel stopped her half-way. " It wasn't her so just leave her alone!" He found his voice increased and he was yelling again, trying to get over the voices in his head. "Just leave her alone!!" Lireal was taken back by her brother's tone towards her, she could tell that she, herself had angered him. Finally she turned towards the way she came and started walking after a little while she turned towards him. " Aren't you coming with me?"
Gabriel looked at his sister then towards the girl. "No......Maybe......No......Yes......I DON'T KNOW!" Gabriel turned towards the direction that neither of them were facing and started to run that way. " JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Lireal sighed and continued on towards the village. She knew he'd come back out once he was calmed down.

Lireal paused for a moment and looked at the girl, then continued to walk forward this time at the same pace as Anna. "Lireal Kirtola, as for why we were fighting it's none of your business. You don't know what happened to him and I highly doubt you could possibly relate to him." She felt offended for leaving Gabriel all alone, because of what happened last time he was like that....She kept on walking with Anna, she just didn't say anything. Before she knew it birds flew away from the area that Gabriel ran into, she knew he was in trouble......

=-=-=-Flashback=-=-=-

"Brother please.....stop" Lireal and Gabriel were only 6 and it was one year after the 'incident' happened. Lireal was crying and Gabriel was looking at the ground from the top of a building. "I have to sister, the voices tell me it will make them stop. They're telling me I'm useless, pathetic, weak, and a sorry excuse for a brother. I want to jump, but my leg say no, besides nobody can stop me. Not you, or anybody else can stop me from jumping. All of a sudden several Peace Keepers came in with Lucifer, his father, and his mother. Lucifer's father stepped forward, " Young boy you are disrupting the peace of District 3, get down from there now or else I'll have to shoot you!"
Within hearing those words Lireal ran away afraid to see her brother die like that, nobody stopped her just like nobody could stop Gabriel. She finally stopped when she heard several gunshots. She crawled into an alleyway and cried herself asleep. In the morning she heard chains rattling. Her brother was there infront of her, loccked up in chains, his eye blackened, his lip bleeding, and several cuts on his body. But the main thing there was that he was alive, after then Lireal always made sure the voices could never hurt him again, but secretly they always were around. They just never made any big stunts until now and this time nobody is around to stop him.

=-=-=-End Flashback=-=-=-

Lireal turned around and then paused crouching down allowing Anna to get on her back. "Get on my back, we have to get back to my brother...Before it's too late...." Lireal's voice was a little shaky but she still held it together afraid that if she started crying the tears would never stop, unlike 9 years ago. Sadly, this time she has a pain in her heart that won't stop. Maybe it's already too late......

Lireal took a few minutes to respond to Anna's question, "No....I'm not alright." While running towards the area Gabriel was at she was thinking of what Anna had said. Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be okay. I don't know what's wrong, but it'll all be okay. The doctor has said the same thing to her when Gabriel was in the hospital, and he came out blind. It wasn't all okay, most of it was though.
Maybe I can trust her... After several moments Lireal slowed down, getting closer to the area Gabriel was at. She gently lets Anna down off of her back. She takes a few steps forward and then looks back at Anna. "Want to go in together?" She holds her hand out to Anna, hoping she'll say yes. Hoping that she won't have to go in alone seeing her brother like whatever he is.

She smiled, for a few moments everything felt right in her life. Once she saw her brother though, all of that changed quickly. She let every tear she wanted to cry out. She saw her brother with a bloody knive and several bloody marks on his body. She let go of Anna's hand and ran over to her brother. She put her head on one of his shoulders, crying. She stopped when he put his hand on her back and started stroking her he back, calming her slightly. His voice was weak but still able to be heard. "I knew you'd come, I knew you'd save me." She didn't understand she didn't save him. But maybe he wasn't adressing her maybe he was adressing Anna. Right then she remembered hearing the name Lily before she came in and started arguing with him. "Was it Lily? Did she save you?" Before he could reply she looked at Anna. "Who is Lily anyways?"

((OCC: Tis otay, photo....Not my best post either))

Gabriel gently opened his eyes and stared at Anna, thinking of the possible things that she was thinking at that moment. "The thing is...." Lireal started to tell Anna but was cut off by her brother. " I'm blind, I can't see Lily but I can hear and feel her. As for the Shadow People, I think I know of one named Balthazar." Lireal got up and started looking for her brother's bag. "Where is it?" She was looking around the tree he was leaning up against, when she looked up she found it stuck on a branch. She sighs and starts to climb the tree, she finally reaches the bag and puts it on her back. Slowly making sure she doesn't fall, she comes back down and reaches the bottom.
After a few moments she reaches inside and takes out the bandages she was looking for. With the said bandages she starts to wrap them around Gabriel's head wound, his arm wound and one of his leg wounds. After several moments of silence Gabriel tried to get up, but fell back down.
Lireal looked at Anna, she felt sorry for her having people treat her like a freak. Then looked at Gabriel, he was the same as Anna except instead of seeing them he heard them, with one thing he surprized her, he actually was able to tell somebody that he was blind instead of having herself tell them.Maybe, coming here wasn't so bad. Gabriel finally has somebody he can relate to and so does Anna.....Too bad I don't "My name is Gabriel by the way. Just call me Gabe if you want to" She smiled at her brother, and he smiled back. He finally has a friend. "Hey, Anna do you think you can help me get Gabriel somewhere better then this forest?" While saying that she grabbed ahold of her brother's arm and put it around her neck.

((OCC: Let's pretend that Balthazar is like the bad leader of the Shadow people. =P))

((OOC: Sounds good ^.^))

Gabriel sat there listening to all that the girl had to say, especially when she apologized. When they helped him up he leaned on his sister more knowing that she might support him up better and also not knowing how much the the other girl could hold up. When the girl whispered her name in his ear, he blushed a little.
"Anna, that'd be great." He knew that his sister would probably have some where else to go. "Well, actually I was going to go somewhere else but I guess your house is okay too" His sister rubbed her neck with the free arm she had, something she usually did when she was embarrassed or lying.
"I think I'm fine walking alone now" He really did think he could, but instead of having his sister let go of him she held onto his arm trying to make sure she doesn't touch it. " I know you can't heal that quickly." She finally sighs and lets go of him but if he falls she isn't going to let go of him. A few moments after she let him go, he's limping a little but is still going the same pace as Anna and his sister.
Looking up at the sky, she notices that the sun is setting, and the air is cooling down. "We better get there soon before it gets completely dark."
