learn to read between the lines, yeah?
I hadn't been told about the Falls, or really any lands outside of Chamber. Mom, just said that you should just go into other places, and I hadn't. I stopped and waited- proper and correct. I can't say why ended up here... It's just the place I ended up here. I stopped because it was different, so different than the dark corners of Chamber and the ashy air that stuck in my lungs and made me cough. Vaughan seemed to thrive there. I could see him staying in Chamber, and not once worrying about elsewhere. He loves adventure and is so bold, and me? Well.... I don't think I would stay, if it were just me, but it's not. I don't think I'd ever truly leave Vaughan. That whole he's my twin thing, it's a real draw.
I stand waiting, not long, but my thoughts are always whirling in my head. Sounds of approaching hooves pulled me from my reflections and snap to the direction of sound. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little tense. Are the people nice here? are they kind or is it full of murderous villains worse than Chamber? What if Chamber is the only good guy in this realm? Breathe Vessel, you got this. I see a yellow-y horse come through, I think mom called that Palomino. I breath through the fear. I know I can do this. I got it. The mare approaches, and she seems nice enough. She is alert but not aggressive- so far so good. I listen to her words, again non-threatening, and I am thinking that I have got this first solo interaction in the bag. "Hi, Yeah I'm-- And then it's all over.
Vaughan, bold, protective and reactive crashed through the tree line, inserting himself as my savior and protector...I am mortified. " VAUGHAN STOP IT!!! YOU STOP RIGHT NOW!! I stomp by foot and move to the side out from his protective guard. I'm so embarrassed. Oh no, now he's talking at the mare like he's some hot shot. Oh, this is embarrassing and I fight the urge to completely lose my cool, or melt away into nothingness. I can't believe Vaughan, he's being so rude and ridiculous. Before the mare has a chance to say a thing, i address him. I may not be the bold adventurous twin, but I will tell him off. "Am I really that weak to you? That you can't let me talk to anyone with out you? Just go home Vaughan, I just needed a break from the ash, and you've embarrassed me. I can't believe you!" I feel tears in my eyes. I have never been this embarrassed, yeah I felt embarrassed as a kid when I said something wrong or made a mistake but not like this. Never like this. I don't want to cry, I shake my head and close my eyes. I try to shake it but it stays with me.
I turn to the mare, trying to hold myself up,but I feel so defeated I am sure I look pathetic. "I'm so sorry, Miss. I didn't want this. I didn't ask for it...." I tries I really did, but my voice gives way to a sob, and the tears came and I couldn't stop them. Maybe I should have just stayed with the bear-horse and the lady who ran around the tree. I didn't deserve this. I didn't want this. I shoot Vaughan a terrible glance as he starts in on hide and seek. Still sobbing, my embarrassment became nothing to my anger. Through my tears and hiccup-y sobs i manage to say something, holding my ground. "What right do you have to scold me, Vaughan just go away! I don't want to see you right now!...Please, just go!
I look at the mare, i don't know what she thinks but I wouldn't blame her if she wanted to run away from me, I would. Who would want to talk to some sobbing filly and her bold mouthed brother? I wonder what she will say. This is a mess.
