CHAPTER 15 LIES.

CASPIAN
"You need to stop this! This instant! Please don't let her be harmed!" I thrashed about, even though it was utterly useless. I had to try, if not then so be it, I will fight for her till the very end, there's never been a doubt in my mind. "Winged one, you fail to see the very significance." "No what you fail to see is, I wont ever stop not ever I will fight for my freedom. I Wont let here be harmed you hear me! Let ME GO!" I shouted repeatedly, all amounting to nothing I'm afraid.
"When you are finished young Caspian, I will attempt once again to shed light on this situation. We have nothing but time, everlasting patience." Nay-u spoke with calm confidence that both angered me, and yet, made me envious. I began to shake and my blood pounded throughout my core viciously. I could not longer stand this, "What would you like me to do? Nothing?! I just cannot accept this, if you can't help her expect me not to just kneel here succumbing to nonsense! Just know I will not stop, I will keep fighting, never expect me to sto-" "CASPIAN ENOUGH! I know, we all know you will stop at nothing, that you would and have sacrificed yourself, your soul, and anything dear or of value to you. Here me now" Nett whom I've never heard before speak, shouted and then spoke calmly to me, needing my understanding.
"This is much bigger, then you can possibly imagine. So Caspian, what will it be?" Nett gloomily concluded. Honestly what choice did I have? "Well Caspian, that depends now doesn't it?" Nay-u answered my thought aloud. I had nothing private, after all I came bearing my entire soul, they already a keen to me anyways. What did I risk loosing? I had already lost everything about me I had ever known, but all that I really, truly cared for and ever have was, and will always be Samantha. And that was too high a price to pay for my negligence, stupidity. I would die, for her, I owed her, and myself that much to wait, listen, and find out the significance of this terrifying enigma.
I hung my head while I mentally weighed the inevitable options, truly knowing all along what my ultimate choice would be, what it would always be, and then at the very end of my thoughts I hung my head high and gave the nod we all knew would come, but the importance of the show needed to be seen. I was ready. I had to be quick, just get this one thing expressed aloud before they became privy, "Samantha is the one reason I am here before you, you have shown me visions of the past, and what I am hoping, is-was the present. She was in great danger the last assault of vision, but please, can you tell me if she is alright?" Silence.
"I see. If your not going to tell me, then she must be fine other wise this is al pointless you see. But if she is alright at the moment she won't be for long, and I need to help her, if this is the path we must walk. Surely you must understand." Something I never expected occurred, Nay-u nodded in understanding. Blown away with her complacency I succumbed to the sienna elders.

"Well, umm.. Sam I just need clarification on our little situation here, ya know?" Tiff spoke slightly fidgeting. Which was a little odd, I became a smidge uneasy but optimistic, "Uh, ok... continue please," I replied unsure what more or less to say. "Alright, I know I've been staying here for all this-" she gestured about with her hands rolling them in the air emphasizing her words, "-stuff, lets say. But I'm unsure now as to what our situation is now, ya know?" my eyes were squinted at her in a questioning way waiting for her to continue "what I mean is, I don't have a place anymore because I've been here, and invested all of my money um, here and like your a lot better now, and.." she trailed off.
"Tiff spit it out, what are you meaning here?" I had an idea of sorts where this was heading, and just decided to wait patiently for the following words to come to just place all the cards on the table.
"Uh, I'm homeless. Pretty much." Oh when you put it that way, well it sounds scary and cold but I knew this was it, just not in these words. "Oh, cut the crap. Your not homeless because you're here. You cant possibly be homeless in a home you banana! This is your home girl you should know that." I said aloud how could she think that? Were as close as sisters I only had a brother and now he was in heaven, but Tiffany was always there for me, going all the way back to the brownie days in good old girl scouts.
She leaned in and smiled as she scooped me up into a huge hug, squeezing me tight. "I know I just didn't want to assume ya know? Be one of those forcers on you, haha." "Shut up silly girl. I love you Tiff you're my sister, we're family that's what family's for." "I know. I know, I love you too Sam."

ABIGAIL.
"So what do you propose we do now?" Lucas asked desperately. He was shaking, anxious just didn't seem a good enough word for what he was, because clearly, he was so so much more. What he asked had caught me off guard it wasn't as if I were in charge. "You ask me because? Are you mad? Have you not witnessed the treachery? The hostile take over, the litany that is this all?" I was frightened beyond belief I didn't think in our kind it was even possible. I was wrong on so may things I didn't know which way was up, what I did know was I was not going down without a fight, I am an angel of god.
"Never mind it doesn't matter. What does matter is we need to be rid of him. We need to get out of here." Lucas began to make the motions to get up off the floor. My pearlescent blood was still pooled there on the clouden floor and all over Lucas and was a terrible reminder of what had just happened. "It does matter, you need to stop speaking like that, he'll be coming right back, he could hear you. I want nothing to do with your plans of escape. I'm going to survive." I stated. I was chained here as was Lucas, awaiting our fate for when Kail decided to return if he wasn't already here hiding like the devil himself.
"Ah, Abigail, your going to be a marvelous helper, after all you've certainly got the right attitude. Tisk, tisk Lucas! You were so 'tough' before, now a cowardess, disgusting mess upon the cloud's floor absolutely useless. What say you now? I will give you this one last chance to redeem yourself to me, and prove your worth-if that's what you'll call it. What say you?" Kail mock waved his fingers at Lucas as he reprimanded him tauntingly.
"What choice do I have?" Lucas attempted at his once famous bravado, which failed him miserably, obviously. "None." Kail replied in a sing-song voice that of a mortal child. He then proceeded to stomp his foot into Lucas's face, when his blood made itself visible a nasty smirk danced its way onto Kail's face. Kail then got to his knee's immediately directly in front of Lucas's face, took his fingers and stirred them into his blood, then brought them to his mouth and lapped at the blood like a kitten his eyes shutting in ecstasy. I was instantly horrified what was this? No angel has ever-it cant be!-never had I ever imagined.
Kail's eyes re-opened and his pupils had shrunk to pinpricks his pale-barley visible blue-eyes so... freaky, the only word I can pertain to this, a 'disgustingly human' word but relevant none the less. Kail immediately shot up like a jack in the box clapped his hands together thrice, and said "Come, we must go. Cloud yourselves now!" with that our confinements disappeared. We arose and pressed our sternums inward, we were clouded, and bound to unknown destinations.

SAMANTHA.
In the shower and Tiffany was at work. Who the hell? I rush out of the shower almost slipping and snapping my neck on the way just to answer this piece of crap phone. "WHAT!" I shout into the phone, totally rude but I could care less. "Um.. Yes may I speak to a-a Mr. Caspian Bellafonte?" A who? *Mental ding* my chest heaves suddenly with a heavy intake of breath as the realization hits. Oh my god. "Um, what's this about?" I ask. My voice was shaking, my whole body was quivering tremendously.
"My name is Richard Pryce. I'm calling on behalf of the insurance company pertaining to the ah, accident, Mr. Bellafonte was recently apart of, is he in? This is urgent." Holy craps! "Um this is not his resid-house- is this the accident back in July?" I just had to ask that, I had to know. "I'm not really at liberty to answer that, well I don't really see the harm-yes it is. Why may I ask?" he replied. "I was there." I answered. "So you witnessed the accident?" he implied questioningly. "I didn't really witness a thing. Headlights and BOOM!-" "I'm afraid I don't understand you," he cut me off, and I realize why, I was rambling, and beating around a stupid bush. I needed to get to the damn point already.
"I'm Samantha Kincade, he hit me." "Oh. Oh I see, this doesn't seem right. So your saying that Mr. Bellafonte does not live at this-at your residence?" "No. he never has." What the hell was going on? "Will you please excuse me for a moment?" he seemed anxious suddenly. "Sure, I guess." I wasn't sure why exactly but I was becoming more uneasy by the moment. "It'll be just a few moments while I place you on hold ok?" and I'm assuming he ment to do just that,-I mean I heard the slight click as he thought he placed me on hold, I say 'ment' because he must have pressed the wrong button because I could hear everything he was saying, and to whome he was speaking it too.
"Yeah uh, Tony patch me through to Dick will ya? I've been waiting to hear from him on the final call on the Bellafonte case. "Sure thing man." Tony replied. "Hello-" Dick answered but it sounded more like yellow, "-so what do you have for me Richard?" Dick asked. "I was hoping you had the answer to that same question." I heard shuffling papers and then Dick countered, "That's right, here it is, was burried under all this crap, lets see... yup looks definitely like fraud. Any luck with the mysterious number you found in your cubby- of all the places-" "No. It turns out the number belongs to the woman he hit. How the hell did this get by us in the first place, I thought we had new policies in place to protect against incidents like these?"
"I'm not sure but someone's ass is deffinatley going to fry for this one." Dick said indifferently. "No kidding, and I'm going to make damn sure it isn't mine. How could a guy with no record, at all get insurance in the first place? Everythings completely fony, fony social security card, drivers licence, name, numbers, how the HELL did this happen?" Richard was evidently pissed, and Tony just now started to sound worried I think he knew where this was going. I didn't care I was terrified. How DID this happen? What even happened in the first place, who was this guy, who was Caspian really? And more importantly why the hell was he with me all that time in the hospital?
