I love you, Sis. <3
The pain I see so clear,
It haunts my every thought
I long to take your burden from you
But it’s not something I can give.
My heart yearns to understand,
To show my love, to make you believe
In the amazing person I think you are.

Another Scene from my OYAN :)
Okay, here is another scene from my OYAN...it contains a pretty big spoiler, so if you don't want to know what's going to happen, don't read it! :P I just need help because I don't think it's emotional enough! So if you have any tips, they would be greatly appreciated!!! :D
I looked at him, unsure of what to think.
“I’m sorry Rae, but I have to do this.”
“Why? I thought you were my friend! But you’re no better than Keeran!”
“Give me the amulet, Rae.”
I looked down at the small, minor gem resting in my palm. How could something that looked so insignificant be worth all the lives lost searching for it? Was it worth another one?
“Rael, give me the amulet, or say good bye to the boy.”
“I—I can’t!”
Aro’s eyes filled with dread. “Stupid girl! You’re not supposed to do this! He said you would give me the amulet in return for the boy’s life!”
“Who is he, Aro? Tell me!”
“I can’t tell you. He’ll….he’ll kill me.” Aro repositioned his hand on the knife and pushed down harder on Coradel’s neck. “Now, give me the stone, or he will die.”
I looked again at the stone, then up at Coradel, his young face twisted in pain. “Here. Take it.”
Aro’s eyes gleamed as he looked down at my hand. Reaching out, he pushed Coradel at me, and made a grab for the gem... And I let him have it. To me, the stone wasn’t worth that much.
“Thank you, Rael. It’s been a pleasure.” With these words, Aro spun around, and left the cavern, gem clutched firmly in his hand.
I hugged Coradel close, thankful that we had both made it out of the situation alive. Yes, I was alive, but a part of me was certainly dead. Why was I surprised that there would be another betrayal in my life? I should be used to it by now…but I had let him get too close. He was just like Keeran. And why not? They were cousins, I should have expected it.
Tears pooled in my eyes, and I blinked fast to push them away, but it didn’t work. Instead they ran down my cheeks, a silent tribute to friendship lost.

*Blushes*
Wow...I haven't posted in a long time....*blushes again* Anyway! I have a new free-writing exercise! *listens to readers groan* Yeah, I know...but I will be posting another scene from my OYAN soon...hopefully...so, just bear with me!! *laughs*
So, actually with this, I didn't have a prompt, this one just came from me needing to get some emotions out. *smiles* I hope you enjoy!!! :D
The anger stays,
So close, so near,
It haunts my every thought.
The anger pulses hot within,
But my heart does not its fire feel.
Two friends are hurt,
Two friends need healed,
Two friends whom I must comfort,
But is it something I can give?
Do I offer too little?
Do I ask too much?
Do I hurt more than I help?
My heart I pour out hesitantly,
Afraid of rejection's sharp edge,
Is it acknowledged? Ignored?
My friends I’m reaching out to you,
But I can only reach so far.
Let me give all that I can,
Let me help heal your wounded heart.
