Vindicated [Dani]

[ZEPHYR WILSON]

† I am vindicated, I am selfish †
† I am wrong, I am right †

Home sweet home...at least that is what many would think when they are back. For Zephyr though...he didn't have much here really. Sure there was Isadora who was his partner in crime. The Bonnie to his Clyde he supposed. There were also his two beloved cats that he loved more than anything in the world, not that many know that especially with how he leaves. Only a handful knew that at times he would take one with him usually Snow because he liked it more than Midnight really. Poor Midnight, it wasn't even the cat's fault that it was born with white fur.

Still besides those three there wasn't much and to be honest two of them could be taken with him at the rare times where he would leave for months. Although that was rare he usually only leave when a certain person was home. Unless it was something important he would rather avoid her. It wasn't because he hated her...much. He had to admit there were things that weren't very likable about her. Namely her innocence that he could not comprehend. According to psychology people like her only exist as well children but she was his age. Her innocence should had been stripped with age as she learned how bad humanity is but yet she still stayed the same while he had changed. He hated that about her. For her to not change with him and even more is to still have that mindset. To always seem optimistic and smiling even if the person had tricked her.

At the same time though she interested him. How she still have that mindset, how she can still smile at her predators and most of all how she can be happy all the time. Just like the male she smiled all the time but yet unlike him it felt real and warm. That was the thing he hated but yet was most fond of about her. It was the thing he wanted to destroy out of curiosity as well. To see what it would be like for her to frown, cry and see how bleak the world was in his eyes. How mundane people are cowering behind the strong seeking perfection by kissing up. Yet at the same time out of their old friendship they had hold, he wanted to keep it and keep her happy. No, that wasn't it. He knew that very well. The reason why he wanted for her to be happy and smile was so that he could feel the warm feeling of making at least one person happy in his life.

Hmph, Zephyr was certainly a selfish creature. That was the one thing he was sure about himself. That was because he knew everyone was selfish one way or another. Despite the dark and rather pessimistic thoughts going through his mind his smile did not falter and he still kept a light bounce. Today was the day Dani should be away to some boring meeting last time he checked. That was why he had came home. He made sure their schedule was to never or at least rarely coincide.

Reaching near the pond he spotted Midnight. The white cat was staring at the fish at times reaching its paws in an attempt. A light chuckle parted from his lips. It wasn't the usual one he released whenever he played his little games but rather a much more genuine one. He proceeded over to the creature and picked it up petting it while watching the fish himself. In the back of his mind though he felt as if he had forgotten something...something important. That was rare though. A bit worried the male took out his cellphone and opened up his notes only to find himself almost dropping his phone. S***! He forgot! The meeting had been canceled which meant that the head of the Wilson was...home today.

[DANI WILSON]

Danielle Wilson, blue-haired aerokinetic, wandered around the large area, giggling to herself. The meeting was cancelled and she was free to do what she wanted, so she skipped around the area gracefully... before tripping on a root of a tree and landing face flat.. So much for graceful~

Taking in as much air as she could, the girl blew it all out, creating enough force to get her back up in her feet, giggling. There was nothing that could bring her down and it was because of this particular trait that most people despised about her but it really didn't matter to her, in fact, she didn't know that people hated her. She finds everyone her friend, looking for their good points. That's how she always was.

...Not a single change.

Another childish giggle erupted out of the girl as she watched a mother bird trying to teach her offsprings how to fly and one baby bird actually wasn't ready yet, making her fall from the air. Gasping, Dani quickly created large gusts of air, blowing the chick a bit too high off it's nest but it managed to land either way.

The mother bird flew quickly towards the chick and Dani couldn't help but smile at the sight before continuing her walk, before realizing that she had skipped her daily morning practice. Smiling, the girl quickened her skips, twirling every now and then to release a strong breeze that seemed to cut the trunks of nearby trees slightly.

Dani began humming to herself, her skipping becoming higher and higher, to the point that she can see up to a mile away but her eyes seemed to notice a very familiar presence by the pond, earning yet another giggle from Danielle.

'It's Zeeeee!!!!

She thought to herself as she faded from view, using her speed to make her look almost invisible, nothing but a blur and the rustling of the air brushing the bushes as she passes them.

"Neeeeee, Zeee!!! I missed you!!"

Her pace lowered down to that of an average person's running speed as she neared the pond.. As she neared him...

[ZEPHYR WILSON]

† I am vindicated, I am selfish †
† I am wrong, I am right †

Slowly Zephyr slipped his phone back into his pocket no longer stroking his cat as a sudden fear came to him. The male didn't fear many things...besides photos and ghosts. Curse his cousins and curse the fact that he can't get rid of the stupid fear. The photos were already proven false, he had his taken but yet the fear was still there like a scar. Ghosts on the other hand...well he doubt they were real or else the maids and butlers who had suicides would have haunted him long ago. It was rare though for him to feel his fears namely because people didn't expect him to have such quirks. Yet right now this feeling that surged through his body. Yes, it was fear alright there was no other word for it.He had no escape. No! That wasn't true he could quickly retreat into his room and lock himself inside all day. That sounded great except for the fact that he knew he would be bored out of his mind. Also that might be the first place she checks if news of his return was to get to her.

"Neeeeee, Zeee!!! I missed you!!"

The moment her voice reached his ears he had froze. He knew that it was her from her voice despite the fact that he rarely saw her in reality anyway. He had seen her on t.v. and watched her give speeches many times. Why? Well it was obvious wasn't it? It was so that he could learn about what the Wilson family is doing during his departure. Although the second clue that truly gave her away was her little nickname for him. Zee...usually people would call him Zeph or Zephie but she was the only one that ever called him Zee.

Was that? No, it can't be. The male must be imagining it. His luck could not have that this bad. Sure his karma wasn't good at all since he can't really remember doing good deeds but still! This was far too much. Silently he prayed to whoever that can hear it, he really didn't care, that it was just a delusion. That his fear has simply conquered his mind. He slowly turned around though to see the green hair angel. Instantly he cursed all of the gods and spirits and whatever else there was in the world. Yet despite the predicament he was in, his smile stayed in place.

A part of him was happy that she had missed him...even if he was sure that she would miss anyone if they were to leave. Slowly he stood up still holding Midnight in his arms as he gave her a light friendly wave. "Oh Dani, long time no see." Although if he had a say in it it would be much longer. Yes, definitely. The silver haired male didn't voice his thoughts though in fear of hurting her emotions. Again though his sadistic tendencies made him quite tempted. How he hated the conflict.

Now how was he going to get out of this? Certainly simply running was out of the option. After all the green haired girl would certainly question the male. Another trip was also out due to the fact that he had just gotten back. This wasn't good. "I missed you." he stated. Honestly he didn't even know if it was true or not. Zephyr never missed anyone. He didn't allow himself to since most of the relationships he had was one sided but when it came to people he knew from childhood. Well, it's hard to get rid of things from his childhood. "How have you been? They haven't given you too much paperwork have they?" he asked trying to start a conversation while at the same time formulating excuses in his head.

[DANI WILSON]

The female 'adult's lips began to tremble and her sapphire eyes began to pool with salty tears. It was true that she would miss anyone if she hadn't seen them over a short period of time but for Zeph, it was different since they have known each other since childhood.

Soon enough, the tears began trailing down Danielle's cheeks as she started crying. As the air around them began to quicken and whirl around her, Zee, and the cat, a tornado whirling around them as some sort of cage as the girl continued crying. It was her way of taking out her sadness and she was pretty sure that they were floating now.

Opening her eyes, which were closed while she cried. the girl took a deep breath and quickly made the storm vanish with the wave of a hand and lowering them down to the ground.

Wiping her tears with one hand, the girl smiled lightly at the taller male before bowing down respectfully.

"I-I'm sorry you had to watch me cry..."

She was back, baby! Old Dani Wilson, happy go lucky chick is back~ Jumping high into the air, the girl did a flip that released a large blade towards a nearby tree, cutting almost halfway through the thick trunk.

Landing cleanly on her feet, the girl clasped her hands together behind her back, leaning towards Zephyr happily and quite eagerly.

"Really? You missed me?! Yay!! Zee missed me!!!... Wait.. Zeeeeee, why did you leave...?"

She paused, standing up straight with a finger on her chin, thinking..

[ZEPHYR WILSON]

† I am vindicated, I am selfish †
† I am wrong, I am right †

Instantly the moment he saw her eyes shine due to the tears threatening to fall he panicked. What did he do? All he did was stand here and noted that it has been a while. He hadn't even touch her yet! Still the tears were there and he could not figure out why. He hadn't hurt her had he? He usually made sure he didn't. Servants were one thing, they wouldn't dare speak and if they do it wasn't like anyone would do anything about it. Well maybe except for the head but he made sure that they would never dare tell anyone by making examples. With the girl in front of him though, he wasn't stupid enough to. After all she was the head who would dare to? Some would say that it's because he liked her but he would usually laugh at that and simply say that he doesn't want to lose his position.

He noted the wind that picked up and how he slowly felt himself rise that his feet no longer touched the ground. He held onto his pet tightly while he walked over to her. A good thing he had good control of his powers. Using his free hand he gently brushed his fingers against her cheeks picking up the tears chuckling light heatedly. "Now is it really bad that I'm back?" he asked his tone as light as ever despite her tears. He really didn't know how to comfort people besides making it like one big joke. This was why people don't usually come to him when they have problems. Actually scratch that, people just don't usually come to him at all.

As she opened her eyes and made the wind died down he felt his feet touch the ground. In truth Zephyr was sure he could have done it himself by countering her wind. He was sure that they had about the same ability due to their age after all. Yet he didn't simply because if two equal forces counteract, chances are the wind would stop instead of subsiding and they would fall. If it had been someone else the male wouldn't had minded though but that wasn't the case. He watched her wipe the tears that he did not pick up and bowed. The sight made him laugh a bit.

"I-I'm sorry you had to watch me cry..."

"You know you're the head of the Wilson family. No reason for you to apologize to someone like me." he stated slightly teasing her. Yet as fast as the tears had came they had left, which was a good thing too. Zephyr watched her jump doing a flip almost cutting the tree. Poor thing...now he might not be able to climb on it any more. Oh well there were other trees anyway so it wasn't goo bad. Besides it wasn't like he had watered the tree or taken care of it. That was left for the gardener so it was not loss for him really.

His squinted sapphire eyes stared at her as she clasped her hand behind her back like a little child. The silver haired aerokinetic stared at her with mild interest.

"Really? You missed me?! Yay!! Zee missed me!!!... Wait.. Zeeeeee, why did you leave...?"

The sight of her happy made his smile soften up a bit but quickly it hardened at her question. "That's because I'm the first son right? So I'm going to be head one day and I figured I might as well travel around and get to learn about not only our citizens but others as well so I could become a good leader." he stated his voice never faltering at his lies. He was sure though if it had been Eli or really anyone who knows him for more than five minutes would had been able to see through the lie before he finished but with Dani. Will it seems that she was far too close to him, trusted him too much to see the lie. Plus she was very gullible as well which was why there were people who wanted to protect her in the family. There were the minority though since most seems to hate her or thinks that she is incapable. You know you didn't answer my question." he lightly chided her moving the topic away from him and towards her. He never did like talking about himself.

"You know you're the head of the Wilson family. No reason for you to apologize to someone like me."

The girl blinked once.. twice.. before erupting into a fit of giggles. That was probably the silliest thing she has ever heard the other say and trust her, she was sure that she had heard the other say countless nonsense.

"Eh?! Silly!! You're my cousin!! I have a perfectly good reason! And it's... Uhh.. Wait.."

She paused, realizing how stupid she might seem right now, in front of Zephyr. The girl just smiled and shrugged, before moving on to the next string of words the silver haired boy had said.

"That's because I'm the first son right? So I'm going to be head one day and I figured I might as well travel around and get to learn about not only our citizens but others as well so I could become a good leader."

Dani nodded in understanding, completely believing the lie that was just told. Dani believed most, if not all, of the things Zephyr tells her. Heck, she would believe it if Zee had told her that there was candy in a forty feet deep hole and she would actually try to get it.

"You know you didn't answer my question."

The girl thought deeply in order to recall Zephyr's question before laughing to herself for no reason at all.

"It's not bad that you're back, Zeeeee! In fact, it's the best thing that's ever happened in here for quite a while~!!! Have you been training?"

She asked quite happily, if he was, then it would spark an even more interesting side to Danielle.

[ZEPHYR WILSON]

† I am vindicated, I am selfish †
† I am wrong, I am right †

Zephyr watched her laugh at his little statement. As if it was contagious he started chuckling a bit. He wasn't exactly sure why she had laughed but he pretended to know her little joke.

"Eh?! Silly!! You're my cousin!! I have a perfectly good reason! And it's... Uhh.. Wait.."

He raised a brow extremely curious now. Maybe he should bring it up later though and he pretended that he had not heard what she said letting her go...for now. After all she had dangled something rather interesting in front of him. A small box with something inside it that he did not know. Being the curious person he was...he wanted to know what it was. Although he needed to be careful. He didn't want to look too interested or else it might not be revealed and he would spend days trying to figure it out or until something else comes his way.

It seems that she had bought the lie not that he had expected anything else. After all it did sounded something reasonable. Even more was that it painted an image of a responsibly future leader. Too bad in reality the male was anything but responsible causing havoc and never even giving a second glance to the damage he's caused. He never allowed him to. Regret was not something he liked to feel. That was why he laughed at their pain but most of all it was revenge and even more was a warning to never dare try to use him.

At the little chide Zephyr had given her she laughed. He tilted his head to the side in childish curiosity to what was causing her to laugh. This time he did not laugh with her because the confusion had overpowered the contagiousness of her laughter. After all he was a selfish person so he always put himself before others. In this case his curiosity was far more important than the sight of her happy and the sounds of her laughter.

"It's not bad that you're back, Zeeeee! In fact, it's the best thing that's ever happened in here for quite a while~!!! Have you been training?"

At her words he laughed and it wasn't the usual light chuckles of slight amusement or the fake ones he made. No he had actually found her words to be funny or maybe it was because he drops his guard around her due to her innocence. He didn't know but he laughed at her words or rather he laughed at her ignorance. Zephyr was sure that he could find a lot of people who would disagree. After all the male was not someone people would want to be around. From his ever present smile to his squinted eyes to how he would usually lightly mock others. No, not at all.

He quickly recovered though and decided to answer her question with a little lie. Lies were much easier to tell than truths for the silver hair Wilson. Why yes I have but not Aero. No I've been training Aqua...I can use it pretty well too." he stated closing in on her at the small pause his grin widening playfully.

[DANI WILSON]

The girl sat on the floor, waiting for the much taller male to answer her question. By passing time, she played with the flowers, placing a daisy on her ear, using it as a decoration.

"Why yes I have but not Aero. No I've been training Aqua...I can use it pretty well too."

The girl's eyes widened at the statement as she almost automatically pop up she created a small ball of air in her hands, watching it spin around by itself. She was in awe that the other could use a second element.

"Kyaaa! Zeeeeeeeee, I want to train with you!! Let's do a battle!!"

She flailed her arms lightly, setting quite a reasonable distance between them as he tried closing in, she was most definitely not going to take no for an answer.. Although, she wasn't sure if she was stronger that the other.

"Just for fuuun! Please?!"

The girl giggled and jumped onto a branch of a closeby tree before taking flight into the air, going around in multiple circles around Zephyr, her childish laughter still erupting but she paused, making the air around her tighten into a box, much like a shield.

[ZEPHYR WILSON]

† I am vindicated, I am selfish †
† I am wrong, I am right †

Zephyr watched her tuck the flower in her hair during his laughter. She sat rather patiently as well. To be rather honest she did look kind of cute like a little kid but that might have been because she acted like one. He didn't make a comment about it though because he didn't want her to think that he cared for her...although that was probably far too late. After all as a kid he had showed her that he cared and now he never did anything to prove her how wrong she was. Since well Zephyr Wilson simply didn't care for anybody except for himself and his cats as well.

"Kyaaa! Zeeeeeeeee, I want to train with you!! Let's do a battle!!"

It seems she was rather excited by his answer. Although he was taken back at her...request...if it could really be considered one. After all she was the head and even if the male was the first son and was rather high, there was no way he could be her authority. Still he didn't want to hurt her. They're powers equal so the only thing to set them apart was their techniques. Too bad most of his techniques were rather...painful. He was never one to hold back during a fight and people who had fought him without knowing his little tendencies had to learn that the hard way. He knew that there was no way he would hold back for her either especially since he already found himself wanting to hurt her.

Then again it has been a long time since they had last sparred. Actually when was the last time they sparred together in the first place? Even he didn't know. So her skills must have improved and he was curious to how strong she was. He had already seen hints of it on the trees but he was sure that it was just a small demonstration. Also she was the head there was no way he could deny huh right? He could hear himself looking for reasons to tell to not only others but himself later. It won't be his fault if she was to get hurt.

The girl took a couple steps back most likely to prepare for the fight.

"Just for fuuun! Please?!"

Again she jumped around surrounding him. Hmm so she liked to move quite a lot huh? Guess some things never change. "Very well. Who am I to say no to the head? One condition though no weapons." he stated. He didn't want to bring weapons into this. When ever blood was drawn he found himself easily...excited and might lose himself to it. Now he was sure that chances are most of the Wilson would not care if Dani was to die. He though was the minority. After all if she was going to die who was going to do all those paperwork? Certainly he wasn't going to do it.

Gently he let Midnight jump from his arms.He wouldn't want his beloved pet to be hurt. He watched the cat run away from him probably sensing the danger that was to come. What a smart cat but then again it was his cat, of course it would be smart. He looked at her giving her his usual smile. "Ready? he asked.

"Very well. Who am I to say no to the head? One condition though no weapons."

The girl giggled and took out her silver dagger and sighed before taking it and throwing it at a nearby tree where the whole blade sank in.

Ready?

The other asked with a casual grin on his face, Danielle jumped up and stayed floating in the air, twirling around in a gleeful manner.

"Ready!"

Not knowing whether to wait or not, the girl flew higher and flipped in the air, creating blades of air that were sent right at Zephyr before she moved behind a tree, releasing multiple white blades of sharp, pressurized air at her cousin, whom she called Zee.

Closing her eyes the girl focused on creating a barrier in front, above, below, and behind her. It was originally a technique for the opponent but she used it as a protective one instead.

[ZEPHYR WILSON]

† I am vindicated, I am selfish †
† I am wrong, I am right †

Seems like she agreed to it, that was good. He stared at her jumping into the sky creating slices of hair. To him though they were rather easy to dodge. Was it because he was used to fighting or dodging attacks from a certain head or from the training her had done as a child. He really didn't know but to be frank he really didn't care either. The air slice only went into one direction and thanks to him being an aerokinetic he can feel the air and knew where it was coming to him. He took simple side steps not one to waste energy really. The slice of wind always barely missing him as he made his timing to dodge. His end of his clothes flowing in the wind along with some of his hair.

"So close Dani he stated patronizing her. It was a habit, patronizing people. Giving off compliments that was filled with sarcasm but yet with his usual voice, everything that came out probably dripped in sarcasm. He gave her a little clap even before letting his hand fall to his sides noting the barrier she had created.

Hmm it was similar to his own so that meant that he knew how to counter it. At least in theory anyway. Well looks like he was going to be able to test it. If the wind is wrapping around her he highly doubt he could just attack her straight. No, chances are she would be able to dodge it with ease. Instead he was going to use that barrier against. her. His smirk widened as he stood still trying to turn the wind against her so that instead of a barrier it would be more of a cage. Quickly he remembered that she was the head of the Ramsey so it won't be as easy.

Still trying to change the current of her barrier he moved his other hand. It was a slight flow of movement though and only his wrist actually moved. Using the wind he guided the water from the pond to come down at her. If the barrier did reverse than she would be trapped being cut by the air and possibly suffocate from the lack of the oxygen the water give. If the barrier was still on, well at least it would block her view for a moment which might give him time to come up with another idea.
