War

Alexa stood high atop a hill, watching her well-trained men fight their enemies in the valley below. She stood tall, her arms crossed under her chest, her long black hair that spilled well past her shoulders being lightly teased by the faint breeze. Her sun kissed golden brown skin sported goose bumps from watching the battle beneath her unfold. Her very dark brown eyes held what resembled a smile while her face, as usual, was completely emotionless.
She felt that familiar cutting of air and was joined on the hill by another woman. This on was shorter and a brunet. Her dark auburn bangs lightly touched her brows. The shorter woman’s warm cinnamon brown eyes turned on the soldiers in the valley, only glancing her older sisters way. “What’re you doing?” She asked.
Alex did not turn to her sister nor take her eyes from the battle. “Standing.” She gave her younger sister a sideways glance. “Watching.”
The brunet nodded. “These your men?”
“Who else?” Alexa replied with a small smile, the cockiness in her voice very apparent.
“They’re good.” She complimented.
“The best.” She replied.
The two women stood together on the hill watching the battle intently, well Alexa was Rachel would rather be doing other things. After a while of silence Rachel spoke again. “Do you always do this?”
“When I’m not needed elsewhere.” She answered. She glanced to her sister, “Am I needed elsewhere?”
“Not necessarily.” She answered.
Alexa turned fully to her sister, “Rae.” She said. Rae was beating around the bush.
“I want you to go to town with me.” She said quickly.
“With the humans?” She asked. She genuinely hated the humans, both for their foolish ways and antics.
“Please, Alex.” She asked.
“Rae, you know how I feel about the humans.” She said, trying to put on her dominant voice but only getting a whiney one instead.
“Pwweeaasse.” She begged. The pink bottom lip poked out and Alex was stuck.
Alex sighed, defeated. The goddess of war had been once again defeated by the bottom lip of her younger sister. “Fine.” She groaned.
Rae’s heart shaped face instantly lit up. She clapped her hands with excitement. “Yay!” She exclaimed and grabbed her older sisters hand. “This’ll be great, just you, me and Cyn.” She said.
Just the thought that her other sister would be joining her in her day of torture helped a little, but not much. “Yeah, just… great.”
