to this moment

After so much time searching and hoping and wishing desperately for her sister’s presence she was going to have to say goodbye again. Now Poem knew that her sister was still alive and that she would be home soon. She didn’t want to let go again, didn’t want to lose the support of a familiar and loving face. Motif didn’t belong here, she needed to be surrounded by those she loved. She needed to be allowed to flourish under the care of family.

”Me too, but I wasn’t strong enough.” She tried to keep the bitterness from her voice. Had she won her fight against Sirius maybe the both of them would be going home right now. ”I’ll think about you everyday, I’ll come back stronger and I won't let anything happen to you again.” She promised as Sirius began to put pressure on their reunion. She clung to Motif as she pulled away, unable to let her go willingly. ”I love you too..” She offered back as Motif said her name once more, and then turned to race away from the terrible place Poem was fated to remain.

Poem started after her, but Sirius’s eyes stopped her after only two paces. She did her best to withhold her tears, she couldn’t let the guard see her weakness. A heavy sigh left her, but Poem was determined to see her obligation through and one day be with her beloved family again.
