has also disappeared ...", Syra looked worried out of the window and watched the rain as Goten got up from the couch and also looked out the window.

"I know how you feel ... I don't feel any different ..."



Someone pressed Tanya against the wall and squeezed her throat, she tried hard to take away the hand that was hers on her neck, but her strength wasn't quite enough.

When this person leaned forward a little further, the seventeen-year-old could see him in the dim candlelight, whereupon she looked in disbelief into the cold purple eyes of her own brother.





"R ... Ray!", It struck her with a deep stab in the heart that her own brother now turned against her but she also understood him, she herself was torn back and forth over and over again on which side she is now .... Which side was she on?

Ray looked her in the eye angrily until she asked if he was really going to do this.

"Give me a good reason why I shouldn't do that!", He growled at her, "You are to blame for everything!"

"What ?!" "Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about! Our parents had to die because of you! It's only you to blame! You left me alone when I needed you the most!"

"No .... Ray ... me!"

"Silence !!!", with a jerk he threw her on the floor, where she gasped for breath before she could straighten up.

"You have nothing more to say to me !!!! I hate you! Do you hear !!! You are no longer my sister !!! Only you are to blame !!!"

She took these harsh words more to heart, horrified she looked at her brother, who looked at her despicably.

"You can't mean that seriously .... No ..... Yes ... Maybe you are right ... I left you alone ... And I'm terribly sorry ... You can tell me a lot more to the head .... But I can't hate you for that ... You are and will remain my brother ... no matter which side you are on now! "

" Stop it!You lie! This is not true! ..... you will hate me! I promise to you!!! "

When he made a fleeting gesture, Tanya held her left forearm shortly afterwards. The bandage was torn on the outside and something soaked in blood. She didn't care so much about her injury as she made it clear to her brother that she would stand by him.

"No !!! ... I will ... not hate you ... never!", She slowly walked towards him until she was standing in front of him and resting her hands on his cheeks.

Ray didn't know what was happening to him, somehow his anger at her suddenly disappeared and looked into her eyes.

"... Ray .... No matter what you do .... I will accept it ..... Do you really want to do this? ..... Believe me ... You are not the only one influencing her have ..... I felt the same way .... I could no longer distinguish truth from lies ... Remember who you are ... then you know what is true and what is not .... They promise you one perfect world .... which will be exactly the opposite .... "
"Shut up!"

He attacked her, although she evaded his attacks, but she didn’t defend herself at all. She didn't have the heart to attack her own brother.



,, Defend yourself at last !!!! "he yelled at her, but she just shook her head.

"I'm not going to raise my hand against my own brother! Come to you !! Please!", She had scratches and bruises all over her body and she felt that something else was bothering her more and more, but she had to persevere, no matter what would happen. Ray grabbed her arm roughly and held her dagger, which he had stolen from her earlier, to her throat. They looked each other in the eye for a long time until Tanya whispered to him,

"You hesitate .... That means your hatred of me is not as great as you want me to believe ... If ... you think you are doing the right thing, then do it ... I will you for that don't be angry .... But make the right decision, decide for yourself and don't let others decide for you ..... Believe me .... I know what it is like to live with a lie ... I could never tell the truth endure .... I ... just always wanted to hear the lie .... because what ... what I said wasn't the truth either .... But that is over now .... I have you never lied .... I couldn't do that .... Look at me ... Please look at .... Look at what has become of me .... I've taken other people's smiles and made them mine done ... I sold my soul just to hide the light ... and only now do I see what I really am ... A liar and a traitor who is not even able to fulfill a pact ... This ... insight comes to me ... unfortunately too late .... Therefore I ask you ... do not the same mistake as me .... "
He whispered his sister's name slowly, slowly he realized what he was about to do. His eyes radiated life again and took on his natural eye color.

"What did ..... I just do?! .....", he looked at her injury on the arm and hung his head on it, "That ... I didn't mean that ..."

"It's okay ... I ..."

In the middle of the sentence she was interrupted, Lorenna was not in a good mood at all.

Ray stepped reflexively in front of Tanya and looked into the redheads' cold eyes.

"You miserable traitor! Now you stand up against us too !!! Well, wait! That will have consequences! For you and your sister !!"

"We want to see that first!"

Unexpectedly, Lorenna attacked Ray who was trying to defend himself, but he had to take a lot.

"Kasky!", She hissed, "You are just like your sister! Scum! Shame on you !!!!! You polluted the honor of the Shadow Clan !!!!Grrrrr !!!! ", Lorenna hurled a ball of energy at him, which he could barely avoid before he could know it, the redhead appeared behind him. She spread her palms in front of his eyes and glared at him, then ...





The seventeen-year-old slid along the cold slab floor. Tanya looked at him in disbelief when he straightened up as the blood was flowing down the right side of his face from his forehead.

"Well wait ... I'll show you ..."

"No Ray ... don't do it ... You're too badly hurt ..." his sister called out to him when Lorenna suddenly appeared next to him.

The redhead laughed cynically, "Well ... You are really good, you have to give that ... But I know your weak point!", She spread her hand and pointed it at Tanya.

She stood absently when Ray took her protectively in his arms and with him, after a while, sank to his knees.

,, RAY !!! No!… "Tears ran down her cheeks as Ray let his head rest on her chest and clung to her convulsively.

"Tanya ... Hey ..... This ... this is the first time I've ... seen you cry ..."

She noticed how he silently shed tears and how comfortable he felt around her.

"Please forgive me ... what I did to you .... I'm ... sorry ... I ... don't even know what came over me .... It's not true what I said to you ... I don't hate you ... No ..... Why ..... Why can't I protect you?! ..... Why do I always fail? ..... "

"No ... That's not true .... You always protected me ... even if you didn't notice ... I've forgiven you for a long time ... I've never been angry with you .... never ... even if you teased me a lot ... "

She looked into his bloodied face and wiped the strands of hair that were stuck with blood from his face. "Ray ..."
"You were always everything to me .... Tanya I ...."

"No ... don't say it .... Don't say it ...."

He knew what she meant, because her father wanted to say it too in such a precarious way, but for that reason alone he wanted all the more that she heard it from him.

".... I ... love you ..... you see .... I .... could finish the sentence ... I know that death is our mother and especially father for you and it wasn't easy to cope with ... or rather is ... but ... "

"No ... stop it! I don't want to hear that now! ..... Ray, you're all that's left for me ..... I don't know what to do without you ...." < br />
He smiled weakly at her, then closed his eyes ...



,, No !!! Ray !!! ", she pulled him closer and let her cheek rest against his. Tear after tear she cried and her hope for a happy ending was now gone. She knew what was going to happen and yet she didn't want it to be true so happened.

In the meantime, Kakeru had come to and already suspected what had happened. He quickly made his way and actually he got into the room where Lorenna and the twins were. He was shocked to see how Lorenna had to judge Ray and how Tanya held him in her arms. The redhead hadn't noticed him yet, but that would change very quickly. More like angry he went straight to Lorenna, clenched a fist ..... as dark fog rose .....







And the wheel of fate has started to turn ... but when will it stop?
