Vengeance

by: Melissa

Lissa peeped nervously over the stones at her older sister. She defiantly did not look happy.
"LISSA! I demand you come out! NOW!"
Lissa bit her lip.
Angus looked at her. "Lissa. No! Don't go out there. She'll kill you!"
Lissa looked at him, then back at Maeve.
"Angus is right. Stay here. We'll get out of this, all of us!"
Lissa looked around at her brave friends. She couldn't let them get hurt because of her….
Suddenly, the rocks began to move in front of her.
"What.."
They jumped away as the rocks exploded.
"I think she found us!" Ivar yelled, ducking a rock that almost hit him in the head.
Maeve glared at them. "So, little sister. There you are."
Lissa stared at her sister as the Knights formed a protective circle around her and Aideen fluttered above them.
Maeve laughed. "How nice. Your little friends are trying to protect you. And that worthless little fairy."
Lissa glared. "Aideen is not worthless! We tricked you, didn't we!"
Maeve flinched. " A brief error on my part. It will not happen again. And now, you have become a thorn in my side, little one. I think I shall destroy you!"
Lissa pushed her hair back. She had a good chance against Maeve… but only if she didn't have to worry about the Knights. "You all must go! I have to do this myself."
Angus turned and stared at her. "But..Lissa!"
She shook her head firmly. "I'm serious, Angus! Deirdre, from one princess to another, I'm asking you, get them out of here!"
Deirdre looked uncertain, but nodded. "Lets go!"
Grumbling, the others followed her. Except Angus. He looked from Lissa to Maeve.
"Lissa, I don't.."
She smiled and caressed his cheek. "Angus. Do not worry. I promise, I shall return to you before nightfall."
He looked at her uncertainly. "Al…alright." He leaned down and quickly kissed her. "Be careful, my lovely princess." He whispered. Then he ran after the others.
Lissa turned to Maeve who was smirking. "Well. I see you have..befreinded the Knights."
Lissa looked at her unwaveringly. "Yes. See, unlike you, my dear sister, I understand the importance of friendship and loyalty!"
Maeve laughed. "I understand the importance of loyalty..to me!,"
Lissa looked at her sister in disgust. "Your power hungriness sickens me, Maeve. Is that why you tried to kill me? For power?"
Maeve rolled her eyes. "What do you think? If you were alive, you would have gotten half of Temra….. when all of Temra and Kells should rightfully be mine!"
Lissa shook her head. "I feel for you, my sister. What a lonely life you must have.."
Maeve raised her scepter. "You hush! I am not lonely.! I have power! And now, I'll destroy you!"
A fireball shot from the scepter's jewel. Lissa raised her hands..and caught it, firing it back. Maeve screamed and dove to the side.
She slowly stood. "So. I see you too have been dwelling in the realm of magic."
Lissa slowly lowered her hands. "Yes. But unlike you, I use my magic for good, and to help people. Speaking of. I will not battle this out with you now,Maeve. You see, I still must have my revenge. And I shall have it… by staying in Kells and fighting beside the Mystic Knights, until you, sister dear, are defeated!" With that, Lissa raised her arms and disappeared in a brilliant flash of light.
"GET BACK HERE!," Maeve roared.
