Umm...I think Caedence wants to talk, Hyana by Caedence

Caedence took a large breath of air as she enjoyed a nice long walk through the grounds. She stopped to kick an unfortunate gnome that crossed her path. With the melting snow, and the warmer air, it should be a day to put anyone in a good mood. But Caedence isn’t anyone. She never appreciated pretty things. Especially when in a bad mood. Like now for example.

As soon as she had gotten back from her vacation, she had sent out word that Hyana better come to the gardens. She hoped that rumors spread quickly, because she was not in the mood for delays. The gnome she had kicked earlier approached her shaking his tiny fist. She glared at it again, and the gnome slunk away. She kicked him again for good measure as it left.

“HYANA!” she bellowed, “HYANA!” She yelled again. She paused for a bit, thinking that it sounded like a fight challenge. “CAN YOU PLEASE COME HERE NOW OR ELSE?” she hollered slightly more politely. Well, at least she thought so…\n

She was back. Hyana just couldn’t believe it. She was back home! Finally she could look at someone and not get a hateful look just because she could do magic. She wouldn’t get hurt because she was a witch.

Or so she thought.

Here she was, walking in the gardens, enjoying the peace she had been denied over midterm, and what happened? Her name was being bellowed. By Caedence of all people. Hyana had just gotten away from a violent, temperamental woman… why did she have to see a twelve year old just as bad?!

So Hyana waited for Caedence to stop calling her , it did stop. Of course, Caedence had to continue. At least she added please Hyana thought to herself with a sight. Quickly she walked towards the calls, pulling out Caedence’s present.

“H-hi Caedence…” She said quietly. In the back of her mind, Hyana know Caedence would scold her for that. But she didn’t care. She still hurt. “I got you a present for Christmas.” Hyana handed the wrapped black ribbon with crimson swirls to Caedence. Looking up at Caedence for the first time, she gasped in surprise.

“C-caede, what happened to your cheek?”\n

Caedence swallowed back a ‘what took you so long’ type comment. She knew that would be taking out her rage on her pupil. Hyana wasn’t her father. Ten….nine… She began to count backwards.

“don’t stutter!” She growled, “Don’t you ever learn?” Opening the present, she was pleased to see it was two half way decent colors. She wouldn’t admit it, but she was pleased. It was nice, to get a present. She just wished she could have her mom’s fudge.

She put it in her robe pocket, to put on later. “C-caede, what happened to your cheek? She glared, slipping her wand pieces into her pocket. All thought of why she wanted to talk left her mind.

“New lesson, Hyana,” she snapped, “Don’t pry into my life. Keep to your own!”

She averted her gaze, “Trust no one, allies are the worst enemies you can have. Trust no one, love no one.” She touched the band-aid in her cheek, “Got it?” she added with a challenging gaze, daring Hyana to press the matter.

Hyana flinched slightly at Caedence’s criticism. She opened her mouth to apologize, but remembered the lesson on apologies. That quickly got her to shut her mouth. Hyana smiled as Caedence tucked away the ribbon. At least her present was decent. Maybe she had done something right, but she was wrong. Again.

After asking about the band-aid, Caedence gave her one of the most terrifying glares yet. Her smile left. She got snapped at, being told a new lesson. A lesson Hyana did not accept. “Got it?” Caedence gave her a look that made her want to back down, but suddenly the anger from her break just came out.

“No Caedence, I don’t understand.” She said bravely, forcing herself to keep her gaze on Caedence. “I care about what happened to you. Someone hurt you, didn’t they? And so what if allies become your worst enemies? At least I’m here to support you. Besides,” she held her wrist behind her back. “Trusting no one and loving no one is for the weak.”

Then she looked up at Caedence, eyes wide. What had she just said?

Caedence’s mouth slipped open slightly. Wow, Hyana actually was assertive. Impressive, she thought, but insolent none the less. Her mouth shut again, turning down at the corners. Her eyebrows met in a firm scowl. Her fists clenched and unclenched.

“You don’t need to know what the heck goes on in my life, Kamiya! You don’t need to care about anyone, so don’t try it. It’s foolish. It makes you look weak. Unlike myself.” her gaze became completely cold, “I am not weak,” she hissed.

She wasn’t sure why, but her hand flew out towards the Asian girl. It didn’t surprise her that she felt no remorse as her hand met Hyana’s stomach.

“Don’t you ever call me weak again!“

Hyana hoped her words wouldn’t process in Caedence’s mind. Of course, her luck was really bad. Caedence had heard every word. Hyana took a step backwards as the angry Caedence began speaking.

She wanted to run, she just wasn’t ready for this. She wanted to find Talitha or Elly, someone who wouldn’t scare her. But before she could turn away and run, she was caught in Caedence’s cold gaze. Her body froze. That gaze was why she came to Sonora. She wanted to escape that look.

“Caedence, I-” Hyana started to say before the breath rushed out of her. Caedence’s fist had hit her directly in her stomach. She fell to the ground, one arm wrapped around her stomach, her hurt one laying to the side, the sleeve up showing Caedence the hand shaped bruise around her swollen wrost.

Now, the smart thing to do would be to just lie there in pain and wait for Caedence to leave. No, Hyana pushed herself up, anger clouding her mind. She was not going to stand for this abuse at her safe haven.

“Gomen Cadence,” she said sarcastically, “I couldn’t help but state the obvious. Not caring about anyone is weak. You. Are. Weak.” She regretted what she said instantly, but didn’t care. She braced herself for pain, but at the same time was prepared to fight back.

Caedence wasn’t sure if she felt sorry for the girl. Hyana obviously got in some sort of conflict over break. Caedence could identify with that. She took a deep, calming breath, trying not to slap the insolent brat. Well, she did already punch Hyana, but she wasn’t thinking then.

“Hyana, you really need to know your place. You’re not cut out for the street kid life. You’ve no idea what my life’s been like. I bet you wouldn’t last five minutes in my neighborhood. So stop pretending. Feel fortunate that I don’t want you too awful hurt. Most kids would be on the ground for saying that I’m weak.”

She sighed, “I guess that could be a compliment. You’d have to be low to be a street kid. Maybe I don’t even deserve so high a station in life,” she quietly added in an undertone to herself, “Can’t even fix her…”

She took the ribbon out of her pocket. Holding it up, she briefly considered dropping it, then, she wound it around her braid and tied it firmly. “Thanks for the ribbon, Hyana. And I’d get that wrist looked at, too.” She sighed again, before turning away. “See you around, I guess…” she muttered before walking off.

Well, time for a new subject line^^ by Hyana

Hyana tightly squeezed her eyes shut. She waited for impact, for the taste of blood, for the pain...but it didn't come. Caedence was being...merciful? Pitiful? No, that just couldn't be right. But it was. Caedence was talking to Hyana like she truly cared about her. She was told that she wasn't cut out for the street life, and at that moment Hyana opened her eyes. If only Caedence knew what her life was really like...

“I guess that could be a compliment. You’d have to be low to be a street kid. Maybe I don’t even deserve so high a station in life,” she quietly added in an undertone to herself, “Can’t even fix her…”

Hyana wanted to shout at Caedence, tell her that wasn't true. Caedence was so much more than that...but she didn't have the energy or the emotional strength. It was just to much. Caedence thanked Hyana for the ribbon, and tied it around her braid. "You're welcome Caedence..." Then Caedence suggested her to get the wrist looked at. "I will." She lied as Caedence walked off.

Hyana waited until Caedence was gone, then let out a dry sob. She couldn't cry, the tears wouldn't come, but she just couldn't let Caedence hear that. As Hyana slowly walked back inside the school, only one thought was going through her head.

Fix who?
