“I'm sorry, please forgive me” the apology was breathed out softly like the wind. In her mothers tongue, it was easier to talk to the piece of stone that was taking shape under her careful hand work. It was much easier to hopefully not be over heard with her soft spoken words. They where supposed to talk to the statue after all, no? Frowning softly Taina closed her eyes as she sighed softly, “I never meant for this to happen, If I could take it back, i would” she whispered softly, ghosting her hands over the round and soft cheeks, opening her eyes as she took in the gentle and soft features of her sculpture. Soft, cupid bow's lips carved into a gentle smile, delicate small nose and the window to ones soul, the eyes were two holes of emptiness. No matter how much she tried, the white haired female couldn't remember her sisters eye color. Only the shape and the fact they always smiled and showed such variety of emotions. Then again, the sculpture was stone so it shouldn't matter no? Sighing softly she tried to remember more of her sister's appearance, digging up the memories from the dark depths of her mind. As she continued to remember and sculpt she talked “I didn't know you would be there, I didn't know it would be you” she continued her soft whispers. Now that she let herself remember it was so much easier to talk but each time it felt bitter and sour in her mouth, it wasn't what she wanted to do, but she had to. Closing her eyes again the Teni sighed softly, trying to figure out the words to continue. feathers, pure white but now stained crimson drifted lazily down around them, wings, origin of the feathers, large, white wings, now also bloody curled protectively around the two siblings , shielding them from the cruel world, or were they hiding them? “I'm sorry, please forgive me” hands, bloody and tipped with deadly talons curled around a slowly beating heart “I never meant to do it, please, I didn't even know that you would be there” a soft, tender smile as pitch black eyes surrounded by white eyelashes widened, staring at, what color where the eyes? “why were you there? It has been so long since I have seen you “ gentle and ever smiling mouth curled into the smile she was ever so familiar with, the smile told all, it was tired but it was ever so gentle, ever so caring ,ever so loving? It was hard to distinguish. “what type of an older sister am I if I can't even protect you?” a bitter, hollow laugh escaped the Teni's lips quietly, her eyes opening slightly, looking ,yet not seeing the sculpture. the heart slowed, beating ever so slowly, as the life from the brown? Blue? Gray? Eyes faded slowly, not once breaking the eye contact “I want to take it all back, but I couldn't not do it. You where in the way. I'm sorry “ the heart slowed before stopping all together in the bloody hand's grip “You were never the target, yet you were there.” she finished her soft whispering, not knowing what else to say, looking at the sculpture of her sister, it did no justice to her sisters beauty, but then again she was dead, so did it matter? “Please forgive me” she whispered softly, blinking harshly at the wetness in her eyes, feeling it freeze upon contact on her skin, she couldn’t cry, no matter how much she tried, but it was close enough. Sighing shakily she blinked when she realized the statue had mirrored her motions, the statues' hand gently touching her cheek, closing her eyes Taina savored the moment before pulling away, her hand lowering, looking at the sculpture of her sister, Vuga , Taina sighed softly whispering one final word, only the sculpture could hear “Proshchai.” the assignment had taken a while and she didn't think she could deal with looking at the replica of her sister. It stung and brought far too many bitter memories.
