IT WAS no lie that Finch loved her brother dearly, but some days she wished she had ate him in the womb.

"Fawkes Ulysses Fletcher!" The girl screamed angrily as she stomped down the stairs to where her brother was stitting, trying to peaceful eat his snack, "Where is it?" She demanded as her hands gripped the collar of his shirt, pulling his close her face

The boy stared at his sister in shock as he sputtered out a response, "Wha -- what?"

"Where is it?" The witch repeated angrily, her knuckles white as she gripped his shirt tighter

"Where is what!?" Fawkes exclaimed

Finch spewed unintelligible nonsense before she formed her sentence, her voice alight with fury, "Mom's necklace -- my neckalce, Fawkes! Did you take it?"

"How cou -- NO! I know that means to you!"

Finch dropped his shirt, "If your lying I'll kill you." She warned before stomping back off to her room to continue her search for the prized possession

Fawkes stood up, following after his sister, "Let me help." He said as he walked through the doorway, "Where haven't you looked?"

"Uhm, my bathroom, my dresser, all my jewelry boxes, under my bed, and, uh, the -- the, uh, uh -- the... the -- what's it called?" She spoke frazzled, her wet hair whipping around her, "Uh, Jesus, the -- the -- the, uh -- "

"The desk?" Her brother asked stopping her from her broken talking

"Yeah, yeah, the desk." She murmured as she fell onto her stomach, reaching under her bed and pulling out whatever was lodged underneath it

Fawkes nodded as he moved towards her desk, lifting up the miscellaneous papers and notebooks strewn about as he searched for the necklace and organized her chaos. The two worked in silence, both of them determined to find the cross neckalce,

"Why'd you take it off?" He brother asked, breaking the silence

Finch rose onto her knees as she began rifle through the contents pulled from beneath her bed, "I was trying to meditate and it's kind of hard to do that with something continuously burning itself into your skin." She sighed

Fawkes nodded although knowing she didn't see his action he knew that she knew he did it, "We'll find it. It couldn't have gotten far."

"Let's hope so." The girl said quietly as she finished looking through the objects before shoving them back under her bed, she stood to her feet moving to her dresser, "I feel, I dunno... wrong without it." Finch pulled open the first drawer where all her jewelry boxes were, she flipped open the top of the first one, carefully scrounging through its contents.
