Hitame wasn't exactly sure what she was doing at the Renaissance Fair. This was probably one of the last places she would have wanted to go, but it was some place far away from the issues she had at home and everywhere else in the world, it seemed like. She wasn't sure of anything she did anymore, just because it always seemed like she was doing the wrong thing. It really sucked.
The one thing that was always on her mind that she wished she could just forget about was Naomi. Her sister constantly haunted her thoughts, her dreams.. the nightmares she had were terrible. It wasn't her fault, everything that happened to Naomi, what she turned into, that wasn't her fault. But why was it so hard to convince herself of that? Why was it so hard to tell herself that it wasn't her fault?
Because Naomi was her responsibility since their parents died. She had promised that she would always take care of her little sister and look at what she turned into. A Dark Follower that hated her and their parents more than Hitame could ever bring herself to hate them. She feared for her younger sister, she feared that there would be no way to bring her back from that. That there would be no way to bring the Naomi she used to know back. She cursed herself for it, but she mostly cursed Alex Star for it. She hadn't seen him in a long time, but she still couldn't forgive him for what he'd done.
Even if he hadn't been the one who brought Naomi to the Death Eaters, he wanted her to join the them. Instead of telling her what was going, what had happened to Naomi, he hid it and continued acting like he didn't know where Naomi was. He could have just told her that he knew where she was, how they could get her back and he could have helped her and everything would be okay. But he didn't do that, he just lied to her.
She wasn't going to forgive him for that. And he better not hope that she will, because if he appeared again, she would probably just hurt him like he hurt her.
She was so caught up in her thoughts that she hadn't been watching where she was going and hadn't realized that she had stopped suddenly, causing someone who hadn't seen her to bump into her. The impact hadn't been hard enough for either of them to be hurt but it had startled Hitame a bit. She turned around when she heard a familiar voice and smiled. "Don't worry about it Cece." she said softly, immediately recognizing her fellow Gryffindor.
