Winter's End
Part 5
By: Esis

Xellos sat, perturbed upon his mount. He had been tracking the elusive

vixen for

some time and now it seemed she had escaped his grasp, permanently. She

had

fallen, broken through the ice, and was lost to him forever.

"Damn it Lina! Why'd you die on me!" he growled in frustration.

Strangely enough, his thirst for conquest of the firey maid did not

abate for

one second. He grew even more determined to claim his vivicious prey,

even if it

ment dealing with the devils to do so. 'Lina.. you Will be mine!' he

vowed,

'Some how.'

Young Phibrizo Uld Metallium lounged, grumpily, on the small sofa,

snorting as

his sister paced before him, cursing gentiliy.

"This is all your fault Phibby!" Sylfiel spat, "you drove her

away from me! I'll never forgive you for this!"

"Oh PLEASE!" he sneared with disdain, "as if I did everything! I

played a few humerous pranks on her, which she Always paid back in

full, and

suddenly I'M the villain in this story? I think not!"

Sylfiel huffed, refusing to listen to his reasoning. "it was probably

both

you are our dearest brother that scared her off. I swear, i've never

witnessed a

more ludicrous sight than that of the two of you pining over the same

strawberry

tart!" he snickered.

"We Are Ment For Each Other!" Syfiel cracked, as she turned, fists

shaking with rage, to her sibling.

"HA! Like Ravens and Doves are ment for each other!" Phibby mocked

cruely. "Wake up sweet sister! You're living in a stupid fantasy that's

Never going to come true."

"You'll see!" Sylfiel raged, "I'll find her! And together we will

be!" and stormed away.

Phibrizo sighed, "Fool.." he muttered, at a loss at how to digest his

family's growing insanity.

Lina snuggled deeper into her sweet prince's embrace. She would be

happy to lay

here forever, sleeping, wrapped lovingly in Zel's arms. Well so she

thought

until a violent wake up call nearly gave them both heart attacks.

"EEEEEEEYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" a shrill girl's voice shattered

the air apart with its youthfull volume.

The once happily dozing couple jumped awake and gawked at the screaming

child.

"Wh.. wha?"

"AAAHHHHHH!!! Big Brother!!!" the petite miss cried, "there's a

THING in your bed!" she said pointing directly at Lina.

"HEY!" Lina snarled, offended by the 'thing' comment.

"Amelia, calm down. This is Lina, not a 'thing'." Zelgadis muttered in

his half sleepy half grumpy tone.

"but its in your Bed! WHAT'S IT DOING THERE!? And.. what's a LIna

anyway!?

Sounds like some horrible type of creature!" she continued.

"I'm human you spoiled brat!" Lina growled ready for a fight.

"eeewwwww!" Amelia crowed disgusted.

Zelgadis lunged, catching Lina before she could tear his little

sister's throat;

even if he did feel so inclined to do it himslef, the Queen would Not

be

pleased.

"You still haven't said what she's doing in your bed Big Brother! Or

why

you had your hand up her skirt..."

"WHAT!!!" Lina shouted, turning on the red faced prince.

"Ah.. i didn't do.. well I don't remember.. Ahh! i was Alseep! it

doesn't

count!" Zlegadis sputtered, setting her free by accident.

lina took the opening to once again attempt bodily harm upon the

annoying

princess, only to be foiled by Zeladis once more.

"Lina if you kill her, the Queen will kill me!" he pleaded.

"So you deserve it for taking aadvantage of me like that!" Lina

snorted.

"oh like you're soo innocent!" Amelia sneered, "then why were

Your hands one Big Brother's Bottom!?"

Lina blushed the shade of her hair and stammered, "W..well like you

said

Zel, Asleep... doesn't count.."

"Hmph! Whatever!" Amelia said snottily.

"Amelia! that's enough! i wont have you treat Lina like that!"

Zelgadis scolded.

Amelia was shocked then repentative. "I appologise, Miss. Lina." She

bowed. "Forgive my un-warented predujdiced reaction to your un-expected

presence in my once celebet brother's bed."

Both prince and human burned with embarrassment. "ITS NOT LIKE

THAT!!!" they shouted in their defence, "We're Just Friends!"

"First pair of friends i've ever seen that groaped each other like

that." Amelia snorted quietly.

"What was that sister?"

"Nothing!" Amelia chimed, inocently.

"I'll bet.." Lina muttered, only to be interupted by her growling

stomach. A hungry growl that was promptly answered by a similar sound

from

Zelgadis.

"Oh Right!" Amelia exclaimed, "That's why i came!

Breakfast!"

"Alright! FooD!" Lina copied

Zel smiled softly, a sight which shocked his sister into a statuesque

silence.

"Hmm.. guess i should.. get dressed, then."

"Awn.." Lina teased making his face pinken becomingly and his smile

widen.

"EEEEEEYYYYYYAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Amelia screached once more. The duo stared

at her confused as she dashed out of the room calling for her mother.

"MOTHER!! YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE THIS!!"

"Umm.. what was That all about?" Lina asked.

"I don't know." Zel answered.

Amelia careened full speed around the corner, nearly crashing into her

Queen

Mother. "Mother! mother! You'll never believe what i just saw! Never in

million billion eons, Mother!"

The Snow Queen chuckled bemused at her young daughter. "What is it

child?" she asked.

"Mother! see.. i was going to wake up Big Brother, and he was groaping

this

lina in his sleep, and she was squeasing his tushy too, and then i

screamed

cause i've never seen that before, especially with big Brother, and

then they

woke up and the Lina tried to attack me twice! and she tried to attack

Big

Brother when i said how he was feeling up up and the second time she

attacked me

i told them how she was doing the same to him. They got reeeaaallly red

then and

then they said they were just friends and stuff but they were like

hugging and

blushing and Big brother was like almost naked so i didn't believe

them, BUT

MOTHER!!! I swear i'm not lying! I saw big brother smile! twice even! I

bet that

Lina did somthing to him!" she bubbled out with childish enthusiasm.

The Snow Queen was taken aback with amasement. 'My, my. So I was right.

This IS

interesting!' she mused. "So my dear sweet prince is finaly blooming

into a

young man."

"MoThEr!" Amelia gasped, the Queen just chuckled.

Soon enough Lina and Zelgadis arrived for breakfast. "So nice of you

two to

join us!" The Queen teased, making both Lina and Zel blush some, and

glare

at Amelia.

"WHAAAT?" Amelia complained, "I wasn't the one caught snuggling

with my clothes off!"

"SHUDDAP!!"

The red faced couple continued to eat their morning meal, dispite the

continued

teasing from the little princess. The Queen watched on amused

outwardly, though

inwardly she grew more and more concerned with every blush, smile, nd

shy glance

the prince graced the firey humanw ith. 'A plaything is acceptable but

was i

foolish enough to think her harmless? Bed he can,' she thought sourly,

'to his

heart's content, and with my blessing.. but should he loose his heart..

She

Shall loose Her Head.'

Xellos deposited the weary, rundown nag with the stable hands, who

tisked at the

sorry broken condition of the once noble steed. He walked into the

manner house

like a dark foreboding cloud of distruction, and burst into the

dayroom,

carelessly, surprising both his older and younger siblings.

"have a CARE, brother!" Phibrizo cursed as he settled back onto the

divan.

"Xellos really.." rattled off his sister before he intrupted by

blurting out a curt "She's Dead."

"Wh.. what?" Sylfiel gasped.

"Our darling Lina is Dead! Fallen and drowned in the icey waters of no

return." Xellos explained and watched with sadistict amusement as the

last

twist of sanity broke within his fragil sister's mind.

Phibrizo rose and left his dangerous family alone. "They are Both

mad." he stated to no one, wandering down the halls to his own private

chambers. "Who knows what hell they'll raise and what they'll do now,

but

i'll have no part in it. IF anything, you showed me i had a soul

Inverse."

collapsing upon his bed, he sighed up at the purple canopy. 'you were

great

sport Lina. I mourn your passing.' and with that final thought, he

drifted off

to sleep.
