Corison slept fitfully occasionally wakeing up with coughing fits. It was one such fir that woke her when Lanie stepped into her room. She started coughing and rolled on her side.

Lanie went to their bathroom and got a dixi cup of water and handed it to her. " you ok?" she asked softly.

Corison nodded and slowly sat up then took the offered cup. "I don't think I have ever felt this bad before..." She said after taking a sip of water. "What time is it?" She asked running a hand through her tangled hair.

" almost 11." she said looking over at the clock on Corison's desk. " then we need to tell Sylan and see what we can do." she said looking her sister in the eye. Lanie then remembered. " today is the tornement...." she said softly.

Corison nodded, and fround slightly. She stood gathered some clean cloths and headed for the bathroom where she took a quick shower. She felt much better when she was done, and a little color had returned to her face. She walked down the stares and sat at the table where Sylan sat reading.

Lanie had waited for her sister to get out of the shower so she could take one. she took a quick shower then headed downstairs. she saw Sylan and Corison. she smiled at corison but didn't look at or say anything to Sylan. she made herself some toast and ate it. she sat at the table dead silent with her two siblings.

Corison looked her two siblings. "Do I want to know why there is an ungodly silence between you two?" She asked looking at Lanie knowing she would probably be the first one to answer.

Lanie looked up from her toast at her sister. " well first of all.....he left me with you by myself, when you were not feeling good and if something happend i sure as heck would have not known what to do. and he says ' oh i'll be back in an hour' and is gone for like wayyyy more then an hour, i have no clue where he was. i was scared that something was going to happen to you and he just didn't care." she said raising her voice a bit.

Sylan closed the book he was reading and looked up. "I went to the stadium where the tournament is going to be tonight. I checked the ring, and talked to a couple of the people who helped set it up ... I needed the information, the reason I was late getting home was because some idiot got drunk and had a crash, and lucky me got stuck behind traffic." He looked over at Lanie, "If you had been awake when I came home you would have heard that same explanation when I apologied to David."

"whatever." Lanie got up and put her plate in the sink. " you still refused to tell me where the heck you were going..you didn't care that Corison was on the couch sick and you didn't care that i was only and didn't know what to do if something happend." she said raising her voice a little more then before.

Sylan shoved his chair away from the table ans stalked after her. With one swift movement he turned her around and slapped her (not nearly as hard as Josh... but enough to get her attention). "You don't always have to have you nose in my business and you don't have to get an attitude about it ... at least I told you I was going to be back." He stalked out of the kitchen, snatched his book off the table and went dwon to the basement to relieve his frustrations on a punching bag.

"Lanie!" Corison called watching her sprint across the yard. She scrambled for her cell phone dialing the numbers quickly. She waited as it rang.

_________________

Lanie didn't hear the sound of her sister's voice. she ran straight for the begining of their neighborhood. she was going to get out of there. she didn't want to be in that house for more then a second.
she pulled out her cell phone as it began to ring. she saw it was her sister. " what?!" she answered. she got to the begining of the neighborhood and turned left. she was subcontiously heading twards the fighting ring.

"I don't care if you never talk to him again, but at least tell me where you're going ... please?" Corison asked

_________________

" corison i don't know where i'm going...." she said before hanging up the phone. she ran and ran. and hour went past. by this time she had stoped and put on some tennis shoes and carried her flip flops. the sun was going down and she put on her jacket. she kept walking not sure where she was going. she saw many many cars pass by her. hoping no one would reconize her.
she fineally saw where all the cars were going. she ended up at the fighting ring. she looked at her phone. it was about 6 pm. she scoffed and thought about turning back but didn't. she walked over to the ticket booth and baught a ticket. she walked inside the dimly lit place and looked at all the vile and vulger people that were there.
