((Since it's after her dad "died" and a delicate moment in her life, PM me to join.))
Keira's movements lacked energy and the normal leap in her step, as she dragged her feet towards her room. Opening the door she was secretly happy it was empty. She preferred to be alone. Seeing anyone in her family at the moment reminded her that her dad was dead. She didn't want to remember it. Every time she did, some part of her that was remarkably untainted seemed to break. She felt as if she were slowly dying inside.
She knew, very well that other people had lost as much as her if not more...but it was hard to describe. Lilly had been her best friend, her little sister and her shoulder to cry on. And she lost Lilly. Linda had been close to her, and never failed to spark joy in her when she needed it. She lost Linda a few minutes later. Her dad...she could never have imagined, after all she had been through...What did I do to deserve this?
Her hand reached up and gently touched the pendant her little, now gone sister had given her on her thirteenth birthday. She not, though she would probably never say it out loud, slightly envied Kaelyn. Kaelyn, like her had lost her dad and a sister. Unlike her, Kaelyn had been only about three or four years old...Keira had never asked if she'd had any memories of it. Keira on the other hand had known her dad clearly. Like with her mom she trusted him, and loved him...losing her dad was just as bad as losing her mom would have been.
She was sick of crying though, and felt as if she just couldn't produce anymore tears. She wanted, badly, to do something...but what could she do? She went over to her mirror and stared at herself. She looked the same. Her dark brown hair, the hair she had inherited from her mom, was loose as she didn't really care to style it. Everything was the same, except for her eyes...her eyes were normally alive, displaying clearly how she felt. Now, they seemed to be empty.

Kaelyn or Keely as Keira mostly called her, She had called her that ever since they were little because Keira could never say Kaelyn so she called her Keely and the name sortta stuck. Since she had lost her sister, she had almost got herself killed more than once... actually at one point she was that close to death that if Leo had tried to heal her even a minute later then it would have been too late. But she had slowly realized that she couldn't do that, she was almost back to her normal self... she wouldn't completely go back to what she was like before..... She still loved to play her guitar and sing and write songs, the only problem was Linda never got the chance to finish some of her songs.
She sighed as she was in the attic, she often locked herself in here and would just play a few songs. People did say that her voice echoed though the house though. She ran her fingers gently along the strings, she didn't feel like playing anything today, she didn't even feel like singing. She glanced out the window, the weather seemed to be reflecting everyone's mood, it was raining.
She headed down to her room, she proffered to spend less time in her room as possible, all Linda's things was still there and no one had the heart to move them, it served as a reminder to Kaelyn that her twin was no longer alive. She still expected to see her walk though the door. She opened their bedroom door slowly she saw Keira.... "Sorry... if you want to be on your own I can come back later...." She didn't want to upset her cousin anymore than what she already was.

Keira looked towards Kaelyn as she came in, and it looked as if she took a few moments to register who had spoken. "You're already here aren't you?" she said falteringly. She hated the barrier that had came between her and Kaelyn, between her and her mom, between her and Felicity...between her and everyone. She wasn't nice since her dad died. When she had started behaving like that it had shocked everyone into avoiding her mostly and she was sure from the look on her mom's face that she felt as if Keira had done no less than turned as evil as Selene or Courtney stabbed her through the heart.
Her coffee eyes stared directly, unwaveringly at Kaelyn's enough to make anyone fidget. She seemed to realise what she was doing and an awkward silence filled the room. "I'm-" She tried to apologise, but couldn't for some reason. Breaking away from looking at Kaelyn, she heart blinked out of the room and into the park, almost sure Kaelyn would follow her. Part of her wanted Kaelyn to but the rest...

She hated the tension between them, usually Keira could talk to her but after everything that Keira had been though, she couldn't really blame her. Kaelyn unlike Henry JR remembered when her father died, she had only been 3 years old when her father was killed but that was one day she remembered, No one asked her if she remembered it and she didn't want to talk about it either.
She sighed as Keira heart blinked out. She orbed out after her, she had a good idea of where she was heading.

Keira sat on one of the swings in the back, gently rocking back and fourth. Around her was trees, not clumped together but a short distance from eachother, providing a gently breeze. She had many childhood memories of when Phoebe and Coop would bring her here, either just her or with Lilly, Linda or Kaelyn. If Lilly had ever came she normally just leaned against a tree and watched Keira. When she was small and could not even hope to move the swing more than an inch, her dad would help her.
She closed her eyes, preferring to shut her self off from the rest of the world, hoping to find some peace. She didn't though. She felt wrapped up in her own torment. She had lost her dad. He had never had any way to protect himself from demons, yet countless times he had refused to allow Phoebe to go after her in the underworld unless he could go to- just to make sure she was safe.

Kaelyn orbed in just behind one of the trees behind Keira. She watched her for a minute, she hated seeing her cousin like this. She went over slowly sitting on the other swing. "Shutting everyone out doesn't help you know." She said quietly, it just torn you apart from the inside, you were constantly reminded of the pain and it just hurt more.

Slow, soft footsteps told Keira she was right...Kaelyn had followed her. Although she was aware of her cousin there she still didn't expect to hear her voice right next to her and almost started. "What do you expect me to do then?" she asked quietly.

"Talk about it..... talk to me." She said looking at her. She hated seeing her cousin like this. "Keeping everything bottled in just makes everything ten times worse." She had bottled everything up till her aunt Phoebe and aunt Piper got her to open up. Kaelyn did not get along with Kyle.... at all. She thought that he was trying to replace her dad and no one could do that. He had no right to try and replace him.

"Why should I?" she mumbled. Despite her words she opened her eyes, and blinked a few times before she could see normally again. "I hate this..." Her voice quavered. "Why did he have to die? He didn't deserve it! All he ever did was help people...help them fall in love." First Lilly now her dad. Were cupids in their family just destined to die? She certainly hoped Felicity was never granted a ring.
