Sari felt her entire sanity crumble down around her like stone walls, having withstood centuries of sieges just to collapse at the worst possible occasion.

''Zaydate... that bitch... ''she reflected. ''Gabriel, you heartless bastard... I should have let Suri kill you both... ''

In truth that wasn't really what she felt. She knew herself well enough not  to   wish death upon anyone, but the rage of the moment... her sympathy for her beloved older sister who had sacrificed her dreams and her entire future just to be mocked by a cannibal and a man who apparently seemed to be relieved by these events.

"Why have... we stopped?" murmured Shakti.

"It's... nothing", said Sari bitterly. "This one just has some matters she needs to attend to." She entered an available room and put Shakti down on a bed, tucking the poor drunkard in. "You try to sleep it off now, yes? And try not to throw up on the floor."

Shakti only nodded with a whine, rolling over to the side with a long groan. When she was turned away from Sari she wouldn't have been able to see the grimace of frustration in the face of her younger sister.

''Gabriel... to think that I trusted you... but you are just as indifferent as those men I have been with countless of times.''

Sari had made a decision. Though she wouldn't go as far as to challenge anyone to the death as Suri had done, she definitely needed to set up a simple rule. For Gabriel there was no return. She wouldn't allow it. From what she had heard from the conversation between him and the lizard had been enough to understand that she couldn't let Shakti's memories return. If they did, there wouldn't be any witch around to save her from her torment.

''It's simple really. He will neither interact with Shakti. He will not speak with her. He will not even mention her. If he does... this one will hurt him... badly...''

Sari wandered downstairs. Discreetly she approached Gabriel stealthily from behind, like a looming shadow, before she seized him by the back of his neck, approaching his ear with a hiss.

"This one doesn't know whether you are just stupid or just plain vile and does this out of some sort of contempt", she whispered, "but if this one ever hears you or that reptile bad-mouthing poor Shakti again, she will give you both something else you can smile and scoff at. A new smile for the two of you. A red one. From ear to ear. You got that?"
