Spoils (Open)

Jayne shook as she put the bin back down, she glanced back as the old lady came in taking the bin out almost as soon as she had put it down.

She went back to her sister, sitting by her head pushing her head back out of her face and rubbing her brow.

"You saw them kill..." Her voice stalled and she couldnt say the name of her youngest sister and tears slipped down her face. "Are you sure Penn?"

Shaking she reached down slipping her hand into one of Penns and noticing Penn's other hand going to her belly Jayne reached pulling the sheet back slowly down until she started to see her sisters hand resting ontop of her belly.
 
(OMG I just had a sweet ass posting and my computer went screwy making me loose it all, so shrugs and sorry short post now.)

Penn would nod her head yes to Jayne question about their middle sister being dead, middle in fact by only maybe 48 hours, and two mothers so it was really semantics on who was the youngest.

Penn would then roll over not saying a word as tears began to spill over, tears she did not want Jayne to see for she did not wish to explain how she knew their sister was dead and the horrid memories they brought up for Penn.
 
Jayne sobbed her hands on her face at the news of her sisters fate. When she moved her hands from her face she saw Penn had turned away from her and she reached out her hand on Penn's shoulder.

"What happened in there Penn. I can sense there is a lot you are not telling me. I know you want to protect me but its not helping you so you have to tell me.'

Jayne reached over climbing up and laying behind her sister she put her arm gently over her and held her against her own body.

"Let it all out Penn, its stopping you from getting better and all I have now is you and I cant lose you" Jayne started to sob as the last words slipped from her mouth.
 
Do you recall anything from when you where captive? All the raping, the torchered, everything that went on. How they separated us from our sister but that every chance she had she would sneak and find us, and remember how she some of the times she was great with child and then other times she was not. I found out after you got away they had been using her as a breeding whore. The last time I saw her alive she was huge and still growing bigger then I had ever seen her. About a day or so later after seeing her for just a few moments before she was caught and dragged back to her cage area her screams penetrated the encampment where everyone was being held and lasted nearly a week. It was this week when her screams filled the encampment I was made pregnant. A week of screaming from our sister straight and I could do nothing for I was tied down and raped repeatedly. I truly do not recall much more over that week or I choose not to recall, all I know is after a week of hearing her scream a day later I saw them bringing a body out wrapped in a sack and throwing it onto a fire and I never saw our sister again. It was roughly a month later from then I through the use of magic workers, herbs, and other things I was brought to term and had a baby removed with force from my body. A baby I never even laid eyes on for as soon as they had the baby removed and me stitched up they where atop of me filling me with their seed again and again and again, only this time nothing took so they beat me and left me for dead not knowing how strong I was. This is how I made my escape by sure will alone. I went back to father's kingdom at first and was safe there for a few days then they came again so I ran into the woods and finally unable to move anymore collapsed where I am unsure how much after I was found and brought back here.
Penn had been basically emotionless while telling Jayne this story but then something seemed to snap in her as she allowed her fingers to trace the scar which still remained despite all the healing and she just began whaling and saying over and over again how she wanted her baby back.
It was then the old lady came in and quickly pinched Penn nose pouring a herb mixture down her throat that Jayne would recognize as the one given to make Penn sleep this time it would take slightly longer to take effect maybe five minuets verse the usual two or three minuets before Penn's eyes rolled into the back of her head and her body then went limp against Jayne's body.
The old lady would then speak softly child I grow weak and I fear my days are numbered. There is much I need to show you and much you must learn please leave your sister to sleep and come with me, Kynng will keep watch over her and let us know if anything should happen with her. With that the old lady would walk from the room and wait then in the kitchen area for Jayne to join her.
 
Jayne didnt know what to say or do. Babies? Babies? She shook visibly as she held her sister sobbing uncontrolling. She had blocked out all of the iimages and memories of her time in capture.

She held and rocked her as she slept and didnt even see the old lady walk into the room until she spoke. She wasnt sure if this day could get any worse as she gently put Penn down and climbed over her, her legs shaky as she followed the old lady.

"What do you mean, your days are numbered?" Jayne said wiping her face.
 
Child I am far older then what I even appear. No I am not leaving anytime overly soon but I also do not know when I will be called away. Do not worry as was promised you will have to worry for nothing when I do leave this place and Kynng will become your's and your sister's. Now for the reason I called you in here.
The old lady would pull down a very thick and very old looking cook book of sorts lay it on the table and open it. Inside Jayne would see hand written recipes some looking and being dated from over a 100 years past. The old lady would then flip to nearer the front of the book look to Jayne, read the herbs and ingredances to me for this one, points to one containing red brick, three types of salt, lavender, rosemary, and other choice parts all meant to keep evil out.
Once all parts where gathered the old lady would speak again. This book will become your's Jayne learn it. It has been passed down for well for a very long time, my Mother gave it to me on my 21st birthday, and I am to give it to my child but since my daughter and grandson both pasted I have none so I declare you and your sister Penn my children.
The old lady would then flip to the front and show Jayne a list on the list was birth dates, death dates, and gifted dates. If Jayne looked she would notice that the first date was clear from the 1860, and also that all the gifted too where nothing but female names and sometimes the years between the book being gifted was over 100 years, other times barely a year past.
The old lady would flip a few pages into the front. This is one I make for your sister, the one which passes her out. It is a very good one to learn. I want you to make me this one, points to the page in general. On this page there would be two recipe that where old faded and with many deletions and additions to it and to make matters even harder the two recipes on the page would each saying sleep.
The old lady-would then smile and walk away knowing this should keep Jayne busy and also very likely make her very sleepy so that she would sleep again and allow her own body to heal more so.
 
Jayne stood there, not able to speak or to move. She followed the old lady with her eyes and took hold of the book as it was given to her. Without a word she took it carrying it back to her bed and she laid there looking at the book, using her finger to aid her reading.

She flicked through page after page, in the background the cries of her sister could be heard but Jayne knew there was nothing she could do for her now. Instead she just kept reading and turning the page and she felt her eyes getting heavy.

At one point she woke to find the book by her side her hand still in it at the page she was at. She pushed the book to the corner of the bed putting her hand ontop of it and closed her eyes once more falling almost immedaitely into a long deep sleep.
 
The old lady would have stepped out with Kynng leaving a note saying she would be back later.
Penn in the meantime woke feeling oddly well and so she dared to venture out of bed for the first time in a long time. Seeing her sister sleeping she simply let Jayne be and very slowly due to her legs not wanting to work properly from being bed ridden so long made her way into the kitchen area starving. Once in there Penn found some bread and cheese and set to eating those not realizing how long it had been since any solid food had been in her system but thankfully for her all the herbs and broth she had been given where still in her system so most of the bread stayed downed, as did most of the cheese.
When she was done eating Penn made her way to the washroom thankful the place they where in was so small for she was unsure how much more her legs and body would take. Once in the bathroom she took a look at herself for the first time in a small mirror that was on the sink, what followed next was a shriek of my hair and the sound of glass shattering as she took the mirror and threw it before thinking or realizing what she was even doing, and then falling slowly down the bathroom door sobbing as every single memory even the one she had forgotten came rushing back in.
 
Jayne woke to the screaming and her eyes instantly snapped open and she sat up. Seeing her bed empty of her sister she jumped up, not even seeing the old lady or the wolf she saw the door to the bathroom closed. she walked up to it and put her hand on the handle slowly turning it she slowly pushed the door open.

She saw the glass on the floor first as she slowly opened it, looking around she saw Penn sat down in the corner her knees up her head buried against them and her hands around her knees. Jayne walked in leaving the door open as she walked over and sat beside her sister putting her arm around her pulling her against her.

"Tell me all about it Penn" she said softly as she kissed her sisters head.
 
Penn would wipe the tears away from her face sitting back looking to her sister.
There is too much to tell Jayne, too much.
Penn would then start moving around picking up the pieces of broken mirror from the floor area as she did despite having told Jayne there was too much to tell she would begin speaking.

I was bread twice. Beaten and raped daily. My locks removed, and my ankles sliced so I could not get away when they realized I had helped you escape. Do you recall during our captiousness there where times I would disappear and then return a few days later. If you do recall this then you will recall a time maybe towards the beginning there was a period I was gone for a few months this was the first breading of me that took place. I gave birth to a girl a beautiful baby girl. They allowed me to hold her and feed her, and I even named her, Ishtar. A few days later they came and ripped her from my arms and I never saw her again. The second time their breeding took, you know the rest. Anything beyond that you witnessed or had the same thing done to you.

Now Jayne why don't you tell me how you came across this place and the old lady who cares for us.
 
As Penn told her story tears came from Jayne as she recalled what had been done to her own body. She lost track of it all blinking as she looked up seeing her sister had stopped talking.

Jayne shrugged "I dont know. I woke up here. I escaped. I ran. I remember falling to the ground and not being able to get up and the next thing I remember is waking up in the bed with the old lady looking down at me.'
 
Oh like me except I remember being woken by a dog or what I thought was a dog found out the next time it was a wolf licking my hand trying to move and passing out again at first, and then having it happen a few other times each time passing out again until I finally woke and well you found me in here.
Now since we are both up and awake why don't we see what we can do around here, and find to eat too. I know I am starving again, and I swear if I see the bed I have been in again for at least several hours I will pull out what is left of my hair.
Chuckles softly and goes to slowly stand using the wall as support to steady herself before walking from the restroom area into the kitchen and all but falling into a chair once in there.
 
For the first time in a long time Jayne managed a smile. Having cleared up the glass Jayne with her arm around her sister turned towards teh door. Letting Penn walk out first she walked just a step behind her.

She saw her either fall or slump into a chair and walked in standing over her the smile still there as she looked down at her sister reaching out running a hand through her hair. "I guess that means I am the one making food does it" Jayne said with more of a smile as she walked in looking around the kitchen, seeing the pantry at the end she walked over opening it and looking inside.
 
I guess, please, or give me a few to regain myself and I can help you. Penn would smile towards Jayne rubbing her legs as she spoke. Seems walking from the bed to the kitchen, the kitchen to the rest room area, having a break down while in the rest room area, and then walking back here after sitting on the rest room floor area for who knows how long is all I can currently handle, and really not even sure I would have handles all that if the old lady's place wasn't so small.
Looks then to Jayne again. I do hope she is OK she seems to be gone a while and I miss that wolf, Kynng.
 
"You sit" Jayne said down to her sister, smiling down at her as she felt her sisters hand on her leg.

Jayne looked around and found some bread for them to eat and set out to make them both something to eat, she glanced down at her sister as she spoke about the old lady. Jayne reached out running a hand through her hair.

"I hope so too but I dont think she is too well." she laughed a little "although I am not sure about the wolf, it still scares me a little just to look up at it, he is so big"

She passed a plate of bread to Penn as she turned looking, "I guess you want something to drink too?" she smiled for the first time at her sister as she watched her take the plate and start to eat.
 
Drink would be good, and Jayne I have missed that smile of your's. Looks to her sister smiling herself. You know I think the worst of everything is over for both of us, and I don't think we really have to worry about those men or anyone finding us for that matter.
 
Jayne couldnt help but smile as she made her sister a drink handing it over to her "Well dont you get carried away, I am not going to be making you food and drink all the time, now I know you are better you can make your own" Jayne teased her sister and for a second there she allowed herself to think back to before and she felt herself standing, leaning up against the kitchen counter a tear in the corner of her eye.
 
Sister what troubles you,Penn's voice would come from behind as she wrapped her arms about Jayne's waist. We are well and safe now and I am sure here soon the old lady and Kynng will return too,or at least I hope they do. I miss Kynng.


(don't know if we want to go a head and kill off the old lady,but not Kynng yet or not. want to know what you think.)
 
She stopped as she felt her sisters touch and she turned in her arms. "I'm Ok" she smiled as she looked at her sister and reached out gently touching her sisters cheek.

"Maybe after we have eaten we could take a walk, see if we can find her. She is old and she has never been out this long before"

Jayne put her own arms around her sister, "yes we are safe and well" she said and smiled once more leaning forward she softly kissed the tip of her sisters nose, "now eat."
 
I think I'd be up for that, however I am unsure how far I can manage at this point. Then begins to eat what Jayne prepared. Mmmm this is good. Thank you. Looks over to her sister smiling. Come join me. As this was said a clear look of sadness would suddenly cross Penn's face, and muttered words barely heard would come from her lips. I'm sorry I couldn't save you too, sister. Penn would then go back to eating as if nothing had happened.
 
Jayne walked over to her sister and put her arms around her and instead of eating she kissed her cheek.

"Do not ever be sorry again. You said it. We are here. We are safe."

Running her hand through Penn's hair Jayne smiled and reached over stealing one of the sandwiches she had just made, just as Penn was about to pick it up herself.

"We will walk as far as you can and we will rest as often as you need" I tell you as I get up smiling looking down at you.
 
A very soft replay came from Penn. I wasn't talking about you Jayne, I was talking about our other sister I couldn't save.
Stops eating then. Jayne there is something you need to know,something which happened to me while we where both still captive. Draws a very deep breath then letting it go slowly before beginning knowing how Jayne would likely react to what was fixing to be told her.
Jayne I walked between worlds as in I died more then once when we where captives each time I was brought back and each time certain things got stronger for me. As a result I can now see, hear and sometimes even speak to the dead. Jayne please don't be alarmed by this or by me now that you know this. I know Father taught us gifted people are well evil but we are not and I did not choose this either.
Takes another deep breath and returns to eating.
 
Jayne sat there looking at her sister. As she spoke and as she heard the words she felt herself start to shake and felt in her head want to scream out loud that this had happened to her sister.

She sat there contemplating this and as she closed her eyes a tear did fall down her face. Eyes closed she reached out to her sister, she felt her arm, her forearm and she held on tight shaking some more.

Eventually managing to compose herself Jayne opened her eyes looking over at her sister and she reached for her pulling Penn into her and holding on tight. She could not hold them any more and she sobbed and only just managed to say that she would never be alarmed by her and that she did not think she was evil.

Closing her eyes once more she tried to stop sobbing and crying eventually wiping her face with the back of her hand, 'you ready for that walk?'
 
Penn's voice would come softly. My dearest sister Jayne I know I am not evil but I know what father drilled into our heads also about gifted people. Why do you think he never allowed us to see Grandmama. As far as the walk, yes if you are up for it I think I am. Fresh air would be nice.
 
Jayne smiled and reached out to her sister sliding her hand into hers. "Lets go then." Jayne just put the plate and the glass on the side as they walked through the house.

Standing on the doorstep Jayne just looked around, and then back to her sister. Penn stood by her side still hand in hand. "So which way?"
