<span style="color: #FF0000"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 150%; line-height: 116%;">Isolde Devonhard</span><br/>The Shadow</div></span><br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;"><a class="postlink" href="http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o793/Galvin_Fugazi/38f1727d-3417-4713-a9a2-7e9f2871cb3a_zps469c3edd.jpg">[ img ]</a></div><br/><br/><div style="text-align: justify;">Isolde had listened relative calmly to Deanna. Most of her words until confirmed her suspicions. Deanna was no really bad person, just a little too ambitious and too selfish. She would cooperate if she got what she desired and then they had her under control and nothing would happen. Kira was another problem though. They would have to deal with her, maybe they could use those devices on her. If they could control her brain, use her intellect for the right thing...it was tempting.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BFBF00">„I was surprised that you let Carine go with Kira. Those two did have some quite... uhmmm... exceptional drug induced orgies lately. You must have a lot of trust in your daughter to leave her alone with Kira out there.“</span><br/><br/>Isolde's head jerked up. Kira and Carrie were a couple? Oh damn, that was a shocker. She would stop them and think over it. She needed time to think over it. If she held Carrie back, then her daughter would distance herself even more. She rushed to the comm module but it was too late. Her anger flared up and she hit the wall so hard, that her hand nearly broke. Dammit.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BFBF00">"Does no one inform us of what is going on anymore?"</span><br/><br/>Isolde sighed only in return. She loved her sister, but sometimes Sintrina seemed to be a little bit off this world. Of course no one told anything. People who are jumping from a cliff are rare...<br/><span style="color: #80BF00"><br/>"We will call them back,...tell me what you desire me to do, and I'll do it..."</span><br/><br/>Isolde snorted and she put her hand on the shoulder of her sister. It was too late. Now the things would turn out like they would. She had no control in it anymore.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">„Nothing. I want you to do nothing, Sintrina. If I call her back, I lose her even more. Deanna is right, we are blind when it comes to our own kids. We believe so long in them, until we have to fear them. I was blind, Sintrina. I knew she did drugs. I knew she wasn't always in her rooms, when she was supposed to be there. I knew she left the inner ring for some nights. I knew it all, Sintrina. And I did nothing, because I feared I would lose her, if I did anything. Now she is on her way with her lover and a bag or drugs as I fear, but it will either kill her or it will bring her back to me. I can only pray and hope. let them run...we need Freya back. Or we have to start all three from zero.“</span><br/><br/>Isolde walked over to Deanna and put her hand on the cheek of the doc. The eyes of Deanna were wary and full of fear. But Isolde was too tired to fight.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">„Thank you that you told me that, Deanna. I know that it wasn't easy for you. It is not your fault, that I made Carine run into drugs. I am the only one to blame for that,...“</span> Isolde turned to her sister with a defeated look in her face. <span style="color: #FF8000">„Sintrina, of course nobody tells us anything. Why do you think Deanna started to think about using those devices as safeguards for herself? Because we are sending those folks too quickly to the Arena. They fear us, Sintrina, which is good as it keeps them loyal. But it is bad, because nobody confesses faults anymore. If it wouldn't have meant her possible death, Deanna would have told us that the devices in Freya had some malfunctions and we would have discussed with them what we could do. But we practically forced them to find a solution on their own. And when this solution suddenly offers them the possibility to make their lives safe from us, who is to blame that they think about it? Them or us? Who, Sintrina?“</span><br/><br/>Isolde walked back to the comm module and called the guard room.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">„Sandra Dilanio is waiting in the Queen's bedroom. I want her to be brought to room 23A. Immediately.“</span></div>
