"Well, that's not entirely accurate…"'Adele said. "I…I killed my mother, my father, my older sister Tanya and my brother Rolf. Rolf shouldn't have died though…that was an accident…he's the only one I feel regret for…" She glanced over at Rue to see his reaction. She expected him to hate her and run.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"Why?" Rue asked.  

[marixe alcyone]

"You're not going to run?" Adele asked him incredulously.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

Rue shook his head.

Adele smiled a little. "Because...they had promised they would train me to fight," she said. "And then they went back on their word and tried to train me to cook and clean and all that. I asked them to change their mind but father said no. He hit me when I asked again, and I used magic to kill him.That's how Rolf died...he got caught in the magic field. Then I killed Tanya, because mother and father had decided to keep training her to fight. Mother was taunting me for being weak, so I killed her too..." Adele just looked down, like she didn't want to admit it. "I'm glad...I'm glad Marius wasn't home...I never would have forgiven myself if anything had happened to him..."

"Interesting family you had..." Rue commented.  

[marixe alcyone]

"I thought you'd run," Adele said. "Or at least call me violent again..." She laughed. "But instead you only say my family's interesting..." She laughed again.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"How long ago was this?" Rue asked.  

[marixe alcyone]

"Four years ago," Adele said. "The day I ran away from home."  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"Don't you think killing your family is a little extreme? Couldn't you have talked it out?" Rue pondered, "Or at least, simply run away from home?"  

[marixe alcyone]

Adele looked over at him and tilted her head a little to the side as she considered what he'd said. "No," she said. "They'd have come after me, and I tried talking it out. Violence was all I got from them in response.."  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"You should try and find your brother," Rue said.  

[marixe alcyone]

Adele shook her head. "He'd be furious," she said. "And I don't know where to begin looking for him..."  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"Well, where do you like going to?" Rue asked.  

[marixe alcyone]

Adele shrugged. "I don't know..." she said softly.
