I watched as we were driving away to go park 15

DRAKE: “Keska where are you?” I link her. “At Nana’s” “I need you to come home now.” “Yes father.” When did she stop
calling me dad? I thought to myself.
KESKA: “I have to go home Nana; Father wants me for something.” “Alright dear, I will see you tomorrow” I wonder what
happened that he wants to see me for, probably to take on more of Jessie’s responsibilities, so that she can go “PLAY.”’ I
thought to myself. “Mackie, we will go to the range, and get some aikido work in tomorrow if I am not in trouble that is.”
I link her as I am riding home. “Ok.”
KESKA: I put my bike away, and I look around the garage with a new perspective of things, considering I will have a car
now I will need someplace to park it, but there is no room, at least not right now, maybe if Jessie finds her mate, then she
will take all three of her vehicles with her. I know, what does she need with 3 vehicles? One is off roading, she and James
compete with each other. Then her sport’s car, heaven forbid she does not have the latest sports car, and then her SUV,
for every day, when she is not riding with James. I walk into the house. And link father. “I’m here.” “come to my office.” Great now what did I do to get called to his office. I trudge up the stairs to his office and knock.
DRAKE: “Come.” I call out when I hear Keska knock, I know her scent. “Take a seat.” I tell her and watch as she walks over
to the chairs in front of my desk and takes the one closest to the garden window, which is mostly obscured by my
computer monitor. “Why are you ignoring your sister Jessie?” I ask her. “I’m not” “Then why was she in my office telling
me that you completely ignored her link this afternoon?” I ask her. “Because she’s Jessie and she will do whatever she
can to get me in trouble or blame me for whatever she can blame me for.” She deadpans. “She said she linked you, and
you ignored her.” “If she truly did link me, I did not get it, and no I was not blocking, because James linked me at lunch
and I answered him, I got his link.” She says. “Jessie link your sister, be nice about it, as I am going to keep this link open,
just ask her to bring you one of my pens.” “Yes daddy.” “Keska, are you with dad? Could bring me one of his pens?” I watch Keska closely; she doesn’t seem to have heard her sister’s request. “I am going to link with you Kes, and I want you
to link Jessie.” I open a link with her, “Now link your sister.” “Hey Jessie, do you want to join me and Mackie on the
archery range tomorrow?” Nothing from either one of them to the other. “Keska care to tell me how it is that you can’t
link your sister?” I ask. “Ask Jessie.” “I’m asking you” “The only thing that makes any since to me, is because I accepted
Jessie’s rejection of me.” “WHAT’ I roared shaking the whole house. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ACCEPTED JESSIE’S
REJECTION!” “About a month ago she was telling her friends how your mother rejected me at Adrian’s ceremony, and
that she slapped me, her friend made the comment that they didn’t blame her, who would want to be related to me
anyway, Jessie said not me that’s for sure. So, I accepted her rejection and as per her request we are no longer sisters.”
She just deadpans, again as if it were an everyday occurrence. I am shocked and stunned to say the least. “Carla dear, we
have a problem with our children, can you come to my office.” “Of course, dear, but sort of problem do we have with the
kids?” “I will fill you in when you get here.”
KESKA: “May I go now?” “NO!” “May I ask what my punishment is?” Father looks at me like I have two heads, when I
asked him that. Then there is a knock on the door. I can smell mom. “Come in dear.” Mom comes into the office and
gives my father a kiss. I am just sitting there, waiting for whatever he decides to give me as punishment, for accepting
Jessie’s rejection, ignoring Jessie’s mind link, telling on her, and who knows what other offences he will tack on. “What’s
going on dear?” mom asked Father, “Care to tell your mother what you told me Keska?” Father says. “Not really.” “Why?”
“Because you will believe whatever Jessie tells you anyways so why should I bother?” I say to them both. “Just give me whatever punishment you deem fit for me ignoring her and send me on my way so that I can get it done.” I say. “Keska,
Drake what is going on?” “Sorry mom, but you need to talk to father and Jessie, I just came here to get whatever
punishment Father deem fit for me, because I ignored Jessie, and she told on me.”
“There is more to it than that Keska.” Father says, “I told you; you need to ask
Jessie, I can’t speak for her, nor would I want to for fear of getting something wrong” I say. “You are being very
disrespectful right now, Keska, your father would
have every right to punish you for that disrespect alone.” Mom states.
DRAKE: “Yes mom.” she says and sits silently. I am just about at my whit’s end with her. “Why won’t you tell your mother
what you told me?” “Because you both will make me out to be a tattle tale and I’m not, so it’s just best that you get the
story from Jessie, then give me my punishment.” She states like it happens all the time. “Jessie come to my office please.”
“Yes daddy.” There is a knock on my door a couple minutes later. “Come.” “You wanted to see me daddy?” (KESKA: I
open a link to James. “Are you busy?” “Not really, why?” “Just listen, I will keep the link open.” Then I opened one to Mackie, “Just listen.”, and then one to Nana “Just listen.”) “What happened a month ago?” I asked Jessie. “I don’t know
what you’re asking about, lots of stuff happened a month ago.” (JAMES: Shit, I can’t save her this time it’s too late to warn her.) “Think Jessie, it was around the time of the whole bulling issue.” “Nothing but that.” She states. “So, you maybe didn’t reject your sister?” I asked her and watched her face. “Umm maybe, I don’t remember, what’s that got to
do with her ignoring me.” “Do you remember her accepting it.” “OH, yeah that kind of hurt, come to think of it.” “You
put the pieces together Jessie, and then tell me why you think Keska ignored you.”
CARLA:** “YOU WHAT? JESSIE HOW COULD YOU!”** “Mimi did it.” She says. “You are not Amanda! Why would you
accept it, Keska?” “Why wouldn’t I, I’m just supposed to accept the pain of rejection every time Jessie decides to get a
bug up her butt and that she doesn’t want to be my sister anymore and makes a public announcement of it. No thank
you.” “What do mean every time?” “It happens at least 3-4 times a school year mom. I just got tired of it, so I finally
accepted it and moved on, and if she hadn’t come crying to father about “me ignoring her” she used finger quotes
nobody would be the wiser of it, except for James, Nana, Wyatt, Mackie, and her, maybe her two cronies. But all this right
here right now (she uses her hands in a circler motion palms down.) is all on Jessie, not me.” **“You little bitch! I will get
you for this!”** Jessie yells at Keska and makes a lung towards her before anyone can react to stop her. Shit now I know
what I felt a month ago, it was Jessie and Keska.
KESKA: I knew that what I said would provoke Jessie, did I do it on purpose? Not really, it just had to be said, and I knew
she would come at me, and I was ready for her, I jumped behind the chair in order to give myself some space to defend
myself. Aikido is a defensive form not an offensive form. So, when she came at me, I just made her keep going right past me using her own momentum, and she landed on her stomach with her face on the floor. You could tell she was pissed,
and she was going to come at me again. Until Father roared using his Alpha voice. “ENOUGH!” Oh, shit “sorry everyone.”
I apologized. I closed the links that I had held open. Even though Father used his alpha tone I stayed on my guard; I wasn’t going to take any chances with Jessie.
