Sister, Sister.....
Kira had finished her lunch that Simon had made for them. It wasn't the best that he had made in the past, but it was still very tasty. She smiled as she ran her hand over her belly rubbing it, 'ugh he is determined to make me fat' she thought noting her full belly while dismissing her small frame. Just as the thought entered her mind, she glanced over at where Richard had been sitting during that stressful meeting. In that moment fear entered her mind as she questioned if those thoughts were being spied upon. slowly her thoughts became filled with concern. She couldn't deny the helpless feelings when it came to his intrusions. She hated the idea that he had so easily, so without care, invaded her mind. 'What more could he do to me,' she wondered. That hopelessness and anger fueled one word as she reflected on him, 'Dick!'
Kira turned to continue walking from the kitchen. As she turned down the hall, her thoughts flashed back to the pain and shame written across Simon's face. Rebecca had tried to help Richard in dealing with his brother's bad influence over him. Richard had told both of them back at the hospital that it was Simon who convinced him to use terrorists as a reason behind the attack on their show. But to everyone's surprise that turned out to be a lie. A big one that seemed to hurt Simon so much that he got up and almost left altogether. Kira had always found Simon to be this silly goof ball that had made her laugh. Despite any issues that Simon and Rebecca had between each other, Kira thought highly of Simon. He had been nice to her and even offered to help with her familiar. It actually pained her to see Simon hurt like that. Once more her face curled as she thought of Richard's actions.
She walked towards Rebecca's room as she took in a deep breath. She knew that the past couple of days had been so hard on Rebecca. No one realized that in the span of one day so much had happened to her sister. First she was nearly killed by that magic eating creature. Next, came Richard's groping of Rebecca's chest. Then just a few hours later, she shot herself in the leg and nearly died again. Kira knew that these three events would have been so stressful to anyone. But it was on the flight from Denver that Rebecca finally opened up with the last thing that upset her the most. Rebecca confessed that she was stressed going in to the show, but it was the thought of losing Kira that caused Rebecca the most stress. This was the reason why Rebecca was acting so off.
Rebecca's tear filled words echoed in Kira's memory, "I don't know what I would have done if something happened to you, Kira. I was just so scared that you were going to be hurt."
Came to a stop at Rebecca's door. She wanted to make sure that her sister was okay. No one else knew Rebecca like she did. Rebecca didn't have to tell her how Richard's actions had effected her, Kira knew. She saw the horror on her sister's face. She understood what memories were invoked. Rebecca acted tough and strong, but Kira knew that her sister was just like anyone else. Rebecca had her own breaking points where willpower and resolve gives away to fear and anger. To Kira, it seemed like no one seemed to care that Rebecca had blown passed more than one breaking point. But Kira knew and she wanted to make sure that her sister was okay. Kira softly knocked on the door, "Rebecca?" she said softly and in a lowered voiced. "Its me, Kira. May I come in?"
