[06] Sibling Rivalry

[vampirelayer]

Oh no no.

No.

This is so not entertaining. 

I think it's really disturbing that I might be wearing my sister, but I can still heft a battle axe around. 

I guess it would be even more disturbing if the flood washed my slayer abilities away again though.  Thank heaven, small favors.



But, no really, when is this over with?

I guess that explains why it was Dawnie for me then.

So who did you turn into?

A very old friend of mine. I made many acquaintances in my life but I was close to very few.

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Why was that?

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I was friendly but ultimately cautious, I suppose. Nobody else was ever like Albus anyway. Albus is the friend I have temporarily changed into.

Although I suppose friend may not be quite the right word. Even if I still think of him in that way sometimes, the rest of my world would likely consider us to be enemies.

Were you afraid of betrayal, or ... losing them?

Enemies is a pretty strong word.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

To be truthful I lost Albus over a terrible accident. After that... I suppose I did... fear being close again.

People saw us as opposite ends of the spectrum, but we were really so very much alike. At least, we were in our youth. That's when I knew him best. A fact which apparently remained hidden, as did so many other things in my world.

Sounds a little bit like me and Faith actually. We've been everything from besties to enemies and back again, but we're definitely... polar opposites in a lot of ways.

Sometimes it's just a matter of perspective.

Faith was your best friend?

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Ok, that would actually be me stretching things pretty far. Maybe for like... a period of a few days. But we have gotten closer ever since she stopped being evil. That was kinda a pre-req for continued contact.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Stopped being evil? She is someone who has reformed?

[cuzitswrong.livejournal.com]

Yep. It was a long, winding, jail-inclusive road, but she's... learned a lot.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

It's nice to know that it can happen. Some people here don't seem to believe such change is actually possible.

To be honest, some of the most heroic people I know were ones who took their time walking on the dark side. I think it gave them a perspective on things that not a lot of people have. They really earned their way back.
