Living in Fear(Accepting)Danger is Near

Adam frowned when Siela didn't appear. Where was she? It had been almost fifteen minutes. Shouldn't she be here by now? He began asking around, but no one had seen anyone matching Siela's description. He decided to see if he could find her elsewhere in the village. He just hoped she wouldn't come looking for him at the square while he wasn't here.

Lena put on her shawl and headed out to ask her neighbor about Siela. Her neighbor had been a good friend of the Cerrano family for a while. Maybe she knew.

Siela-
It had to be him. I would know him anywhere. I keep my eyes glued to the man as I enter the crowd. I was going to find out if this was the Bram I was looking for.

((Im gonna make the form soon. I got dragged to a science center to look for an astroid n I'm stuck next to my friend whos singing a song, 'I am looking at the stars, looking for an asteroid, but all I see are airplanes, driving in the sky, I, am, Bored! -___-))

(And you're looking for an asteroid because...? I sure hope it's in space and not on the ground because if it's on the ground we're all screwed.)

Adam began to ask around some more, trying to get the location of Siela's old home. It was difficult since he didn't know her actual last name, but after a few tries someone finally understood what he was trying to say and pointed him in the right direction. He started heading towards the house.

Lena knocked on her neighbor's door. After a moment the older woman came outside.
"Oh, Lena! It's good to see you," she said, "How are you?"
"Fine, thanks," she said, "I'm not staying long, I just have a question. I know you knew my father and grandparents well, so I'm wondering if you know about anyone named Siela in our family."
The woman paused a moment, looking a little stunned.
"Siela...I haven't heard that name in a long time," she said. She looked sad for a moment before looking at Lena, "Come on in, dear. I'll tell you about her."

((I don't know...-______- And yes, it was in space)
Siela-
There were a lot of people, but I was able to keep the man in sight. It was hard not to think of Bram as a little boy anymore. I didn't care that wasn't, all I cared about is that my brother may be alive and right in front of me...now if only this person would just move.

(How are you supposed to even see that? That's like looking for the ISS. It's just a dot.)

"Siela was the name of my best friend when I was a little girl," Lena's neighbor said, sitting down in one of her living room chairs, "One year she went traveling and never came back. I heard about a gang of bandits that had been caught and hanged in the kingdom north of here. I heard that they also caught a girl who was tried as being their accomplice. After some investigating, I realized that it was Siela. She's been dead for a very long time."
Lena frowned.
"There is no other Siela in my family?"
"No."
"Thank you," she said, "I...I guess I'd better get home and feed Effrom. Have a nice day."
As she left her neighbor's house she began to wonder what this girl was playing at. If the real Siela was dead, who was this girl claiming to be her? And what part of her thought that Lena would actually fall for the "I'm related" thing? She was more confused than ever now.

Adam spotted the house after some wandering around and nearly getting lost. As he walked onto the street he saw a young woman start to go into the house.
"Hey!" he called. She stopped and turned to look at him. He noticed she was carrying a baby. She seemed awful young to be a mother, but he decided not to dwell on that now.
"Hey, have you seen a girl come through here? She's got brown hair, about yey tall? He name is Siela."
The girl seemed a little alarmed. She looked at him hard for a moment.
"Yes, I've seen her. She was heading for the village on the cliffs east of here."
"Thank you," he said, "Could you tell me how to get there."
"Follow the road signs."
"Thank you."
He ran off down the street.
Siela what are you doing? he thought.

[Puppy_Paws]

Siela-
I finally catch up to the man. "Excuse me sir?"I ask. When he turns around both of our eyes widen in unison. "Bram?"I ask on the verge of tears. "Siela?"He asks obviously surprised. "Bram it is you!"I exclaim as I throw my arms around him. My tears begin to fall as I feel my brother's arms wrap around me. I finally found him. I found my brother.

(I don't know. I was against the idea of going alllllll the way there just to see a fuzzy dot -____-))

(Well I pity you. Have a cookie. XD)

Adam didn't slow as he raced down the roads towards the other village. The ground began to slope as the paths began to slope up along the cliffs. Soon he could see the village. What was Siela doing here? He slowed as he reached the village. How was he going to find her?
"Siela?" he called as he reached a crowd of people milling around.

[Puppy_Paws]

Siela-
I cling to my brother like I was never going to let go. I could tell he was thinking the same thing because once he got over the shock of seeing me again he clung to me as well. It didn't seem to bother him that I was still 16 after so many years. I think he figured out what had happened as soon as he saw me, but it doesn't seem to bother him at all.

"Siela!" Adam called.
How was he supposed to find her in this crowd?

[Puppy_Paws]

Siela-
I hear Adam call my name and remember that I was supposed to meet him at the square. Oops I release my brother from the hug but still hold onto his arm. "I'm coming!"I call back as my brother and I walk through the crowd to meet Adam. "I'm sorry I didn't come to the square. I had to find him."I say smiling at my brother who smiled back playfully. He may be older than me, but he'll always be a child at heart.
