Subject: Sins of Greed


Hello innmates! I've returned, sort of haha... If this offends anyone or if by chance, bossman if there is something in the poem that makes it so it shouldnt be up let me know and I'll promptly take it down.. Enjoy!

-SilentOne


Sins of Greed
Can you see it, drifting
on the stream, the last
breath of the loved and
forgotten...

If you could, would you
stand up for what you believe
to save a life of dying greed?

If you saw, would you walk
on by, leaving them to their
soon ending fate?

Would you feel the peace embrace
or would you rather have an underlying
piece of guilt?

If guilt hugs you close, you've
chosen wrongly... Beware them
now oh life of death..

Easy it was to condemn and
ignore... easy it was to turn and
flee.. but now you've awoken
them..

There is no hiding your flaws
and faults... there is no getting by
without chance...

They wait for you now for
what you've done..

Prepare now... for the
Sins of Greed!

Subject: Lore and Amera, twins lost within a see of everybody


Lore:

Lore rushed around the grounds searching for her sister and David’s daughter, the man had done so much for her and her twin that she owed it to him to search for both of them..

Damn it Amera…. Why now of all the times do you go wandering off… her thoughts repeated around, mixing in with the cops finding Amera and taking her away.. Lore couldn’t lose her.. she was all she had left now..

Stopping and looking around she cursed once more at her sister as they stopped at where they had started. She vaguely heard David asking questions..

“…would go…?” Shaking her head she focused her mind to complete the task,

“What kind of rides does Jade like? I don’t see any fires so it’s safe to say that Amera is being well behaved infront of her, but that’s only going to hold out for so long..”


Amera:

Amera tensed slightly, pulling Jade to stand slightly behind her, she reached into her bag and gripped a lighter- just the feeling of the source of her delight sent calming waves through her- when the man came up to her and the young girl. She listened intently at the riddle and began to think it through, the end of the night should give her sufficient amount of time to solve it.. Looking around, Amera frowned seeing that it was getting later and looked down at Jade,

“Let’s go find your dad okay? I’m sure he’s worried about you..” Leading the girl in what she hoped was the right direction, she began her search for David, the lawyer who had saved her ass from a less than stellar life..

Subject: and the pyro escapes her captor


Oct. 31st 2008
8:00pm
Lore looked around and started to panic, “Amera?” Quickly scanning for fires she couldn’t see any as she raced through the crowds. This wasn’t supposed to happen. She was supposed to stay near Amera..

Meanwhile….
Amera walked up to one of the stalls and knelt down next to the child, “Hey Jade, want some help?”
Listening to the little girl she smiled and began to help the girl win something. Not knowing how frantic her sister had become.

Lore dashed through the people and stopped short, was that… could it be.. “David!” She yelled over the excitement of people as she made her way to the man, “David, have you seen Amera?”

All at once memories flooded Lore,


Feb 2008

Amera was cautious as she went towards the house with a grim smile on. The loser cheated on her with her best friend, so she was going to make him pay. Setting down the bag she brought with her, she was quick to assemble the parts and pieces she needed and flicked her lighter watching with a satisfied look in her eyes. Stepping onto the sidewalk she watched as the fire grew closer to the house. Smiling widely as the building erupted with flames as a loud BANG sounded in the dead of night. Just as the bang sounded the car she knew to be her boyfriend pulled up, jumping out the man raced to the house seeming not to see Amera until he turned to look if anyone seen it,

“AMERA! What the hell!?” Amera could hear the words being yelled at her as she simply watched the flames. She could also hear faintly the dialing of a phone and the distressing sound of her ex on the phone. She felt someone pulling her back,

“Amera, come on lets go..” Amera shook the person off and simply watched the flames, enamored by the crackle and pop of the orange waves going through the air, “Amera.. he’s called the cops, we have…” Amera once again shook the person who she came to realize was her twin,

“no.. Not yet.. It’s not done yet..” It was then that Lore forcefully pulled her twin away from the devastation she had just caused.. Hoping that someone would be willing to represent her sister as she was sure the man would press charges. She, however, failed at removing Amera from the scene in time. Cops were heading over and Lore watched with saddened eyes as they took Amera away.

Lore raced home to call someone but as soon as she dropped herself onto her couch she fell asleep. Waking up a few hours later she picked up the annoying ringing phone and went pale hearing that it was the man’s laywer, digging out the phone book she quickly found the number and dialed it, waiting impatiently as it rang,

Hello, this is David Wolfington from..” Lore cut him off,

“My sister is in trouble and I was hoping that you’d be able to help. She lit her ex’s house on fire and now he’s going to charge her with arson..” She paused feeling slightly bad for cutting him off, that wasn’t a way to get him to help her sister,

Lit a fire, huh..

“Yes, and he knows it was her because she was standing near it watching. I saw the smoke and.. please.. can you help her?”

”Ma’am, the evidence doesn’t seem to favorable, but I could reduce the sentence.”

“If you could that would be great. I just don’t know what else to do..”

”So, I’ll need the date of the court appearance, and the date the event..

“It happened tonight and the court hearing is in one weeks’ time.”

”uh- huh… alright… Ok, one more thin ma’am: I would like you and the defendant to come into my office the day before the court appearance so we can work out some of the details for the case.”,/i>

“I can see what I can do about getting her there.. It shouldn’t be a problem, but I have a feeling she’s going to be in the jail until then. I’ll call and let them know you’d like her present with me.”

”Okay ma’am, alright goodbye”
“Thank you so much.. Goodbye.” Lore hung up and let out a sigh of relief, someone was going to help her sister. She just wished that Amera would stop with the fires..

Lore leaned against the counter at the police station, waiting for Amera to be released. Finally after some time Lore saw her twin and sighed thanking the officer the sisters left.
“so.. where are we going? Oh! Can we go get food?” Lore shook her head at her sister’s carelessness.

“No, we’re going to see a lawyer.” Amera grumbled as she followed her sister, glad to have her lighter back as she flicked it on and off.

A little while later they entered the building and were infront of David.

Waiting for Lore and Amera, David set out two glasses of water for them. He was hoping to try and make this court case less painful for them... even though it seemed that Amera had done this sort of thing before. David had already done some planning, and he was thinking of trying to convince everyone that Amera wasn't really a danger to the public. After a last minute inspection to make sure the office was tidy, then he sat down a busied himself with some paper work. A short time later, Lore and Amera arrived.
"Good morning. How are you two today?" David asked, extending his hand.
“Good morning, we’re both fine.” Each of the girls shook his hand
"Okay, let's take a seat then." David said as he sat down behind his desk again. "So, as we all know, there really isn't a way to deny this incident. I would propose that you say you are guilty. Just saves time and money really. I was thinking of arguing for conditions instead of jail time." David pauses for a moment. "What if I tried to get you," David said to Lore, "too watch over Amera? You wouldn't have to worry about jail time. It's kind of like a house arrest. The downside is that the two of you would have to be together all the time." David paused and waited for Lore's and Amera's reaction.
“That would be fine. We live together already so it’s not that much of a jump.”
"There might be some community service and a fine that is with the sentence. Hopefully I can reduce those somewhat..."

" To do this though, I need to prove that you aren't a dangerous offender. Did you purposely ignite the house while it's owner was not in it?"(to Amera)
“Of course I purposely did it while he wasn’t home. I’m not a murderer.”
"Have you ever got in to a fight, injured or threatened anyone about bodily harm?" (to Amera)
“No. just lit fires.. harmless..” She stopped talking when she saw the look her twin was giving her.
As he got answers to the questions, he would write down notes on a piece of paper "Lore, is there any reason you would not be able to keep an eye on Amera?"
“Not in my knowledge.”
"Is there anyone else who could care for Amera if you suddenly were unable to"
“No, it’s just me”
After nearly two hours of planning, David felt like he had all the information he needed. "Ok, so I think that is all we can do for now. I would like you two to show up fifteen minutes or so early. It will give us time for anything last minute, and will make you look responsible for being there on time."
"Goodbye, I'll see you both tomorrow."
Amera looks back and grins widely,
“Nice to meet you sir!” Amera walked out knowing that her sister had more to tell David so she just waited, flicking her lighter on and off watching the tiny flame.

Lore paused and looked at the man,
“Sir, if I may.. I wanted to thank you for taking on my sister.. She’s set other minor fires that she’s gotten charged for and no one else wanted to keep helping her. It means a lot to me that someone other than myself is willing to stand by her. She’s not a danger to the world, she lights the fires and just watches them. The man who’s house that was… hurt her bad.. It was her own way of getting back at him.. I don’t think she would have done it if people were in the house..” With that the woman turned to leave.

Topic: World of Darkness: The Dark Carnival
Subject: A little backstory into the minds of Amera and Lore..


Aug 30th 2008 Approx. 7am
“run! Lore run!” Amera yelled as she raced towards her sister, grabbing her arm and earning a grunt as she pulled Lore behind her. A hissed,

“What did you do!?” came from her older twin. Shrugging she continued to run, pulling Lore behind her.

“Nothing… bad…” She gave her a mental reminder to hide her lighter so Lore couldn’t find it. Slowing to a walk the twins were finally able to catch their break. Amera pulled her hat further down her head as she bowed her head towards the ground, pulling her jacket around her, hoping to hide the soot from her twin.

“You started a fire didn’t you? Didn’t you?! Amera! You promised no more fires!” Amera whined and stopped, stomping her foot and spun to her twin,
“I didn’t intentionally start this one, I swear! There was a fight and… my lighter just happened to be in my hand.. and then..” Lore cut her off,

“so you did start a fire.. Damn it Lore! There’s only so many times I can bail you out of trouble.” Amera shrugged and blinked at her twin as Lore held out her hand, “You’re lighter Amera..” Amera scoffed and continued walking, placing the ear buds into her ears and drowned out her sister’s angry yelling.


Sept. 20th 2008 Approx. Noon
A knock sounded at Amera’s house causing Lore to be woken from a nap after working a graveyard shift. Walking to the door she peeked out and groaned. Opening the doors she sighs,

“Amera.” Amera waves standing between two officers

“Hiya Lore..” Lore looked to the officers and rubbed the back of her neck,

“How bad this time?” One of the officers chuckled,

“We got there just in time. We just offered to bring her back home and make sure she got inside.” With that the officers left. Once Amera walked inside her twin rounded on her,

“What the hell Amera! What did you do!?” Amera simply shrugged,

“Nothing. No fires were started..” Amera couldn’t help it if she liked how the fire crackled and popped.

Oct. 31st 2008 Approx. 7:30-7:35
Amera walked beside her twin, flicking her lighter on and off as they headed home. Music flowing into her ears from her mp3 player she vaguely heard someone talking about something. Taking one ear bud out of her ear she finally heard someone advertising a carnival. Stopping short she sighs,

“How about it sis? Should we go?” Her sister stopped beside and tilted her head,

“Maybe.” Amera sighs and walks towards the carnival knowing that her sister would follow, albeit reluctant. “Amera what are you doing?”

“Going in. Are you scared Lore?” Amera laughed as Lore seemed to curse at her twin but she could hear the older follow, “Besides, It’s a carnival.. what’s the worst that can happen?” Lore grumbles under her breath as she sticks close to the younger.

“You are a pain in the ass Amera. I swear if you start any fires I’m going to leave you hanging..” Lore trailed off remembering the last time they went out and Amera started a ton of fires having her older twin to cover for her.

“I won’t start fires…” Amera said the words but they both knew that she was lying. Amera loved the crackling of flames, It was why she liked to study explosives. At least with Lore there with her.. Amera was safe from starting fires …wasn’t she?

While talking with Flirt I came up with this poem. enjoy

Freed

Standing in the sidelines,
Waiting, watching, seeing
Feeling..

Questions swarm around, never
Ending, never stopping, never
Breathing

Seeking answers, never pausing,
Never pulsing, always seeking,
Never finding.

Finding paths, wander free,
Falling tears, bating breaths,
Linking arms, and falling dream

Dying visions of smiling faces,
Fading imagines of eyes twinkling
Bright.

Whispers of a sad soul, trying to
Break free.

Whispers of brightness, of promises
Being kept. Of soaring dreams of
Grand delight

Of breaking free from the sins and
The grime. Of the pain and sadness
Lurking just beyond

Beyond the breaking point of
Darkness and light, beyond that
Threshold of fear and release.

Beyond the clouds of despair
And into the shafts of sunlight
Freed from all the defeat and rage
Of sadness and of grief.
