Here should be the rest of the story (hopefully *g*). Comments are greatly appreciated.
Have a great rest of the weekend.

Sisters -Part2
All of a sudden there was a commotion out in the street. Bryn and Sinbad ran into the street with the others, just as the sky clouded over with dark clouds and lightning flashed. Suddenly harsh, cold winds began to blow and a tornado appeared out of nowhere. It touched down in front of the group. The wind disappeared and a woman appeared.
"Rumina."
"Hello Sinbad. It's good to see you again." She walked around him, assessing him, before she spoke again. "You haven't changed at all, just as handsome as ever." She noticed Bryn then. "I see you found yourself another witch."
She walked over to Bryn. "Are you any better than the other one?" She asked as she looked Bryn over. Bryn stared back at her with a raised eyebrow.
"What's the matter, cat got your tongue? Hmm. Well no matter there's nothing you can do." She then disappeared in a vapor of smoke. Bryn turned to look at Sinbad.
"Who was that?"
"It's a long story." he sighed.
"I thought she was gone." Doubar stated.
"Apparently not. We need to go talk with Alycia."
Alycia and the others sat around a table in her house.
"She has not been here long. She created a castle for herself, using her magic. It's located on the top of a mountain, on the other side of the island. She does not bother us much, every once in a while she will send some men down to take some girls back as servants."
"Have you ever been taken there?" Bryn asked.
"No, I haven't. But from what I understand, when you get taken there sometimes you don't come back."
"I wonder why she picked this particular island to live on?" Sinbad asked.
"There could be any number of logical reasons." Firouz answered. "It's location, food supply, climate, anything."
"Well, I don't intend to wait around to find out why." Doubar said getting up.
"Calm down Doubar, we can't just go charging up there. We need a plan."
As Sinbad and the others discussed the plan, Bryn and Alycia talked some more.
"So you can't remember anything."
"No, nothing. I can only remember what happened after I woke up. Alycia," Bryn said taking her hand. "I'm sorry for leaving you alone."
"I know, it wasn't your fault." She looked down at Bryn's bracelet. "What's this?"
"I don't know. I woke up with it on my wrist. It contains magical powers."
"I noticed Sinbad has one too." She looked up into Bryn's eyes. "You two are destined for something special. That's why you were taken from your homes."
A while later, Sinbad was out walking with Bryn. After telling her about the plan he asked how things were going with Alycia.
"All right, there are still some uncomfortable moments." Bryn said. "We still have a lot to catch up on."
"I've been doing some thinking on that. If you want to, you can stay here for a while, to catch up and we can pick you back up on our way through here."
"That's very sweet, I just might do that. It's hard to believe that I actually found my family. I thought I never would and now I have. I don't feel so empty now, it's like I'm complete." Her eyes lit up as she talked. Sinbad smiled at her happiness. He had not realized how much he missed her smile until he saw it. He took her hand and said.
"It's good to see you smile again. I missed it." Bryn looked into his eyes and smiled back.
Sisters- Part 3
When they returned to the village Doubar informed them that Alycia was taken by Rumina's men. Sinbad sent Doubar with the others to make sure everything was ready. He then assured Bryn that they would get Alycia back.
Alycia was dragged from her cell and thrown in front of Rumina.
"I thought I was brought here to be your servant."
"Normally you would be, but I have something more special in mind for you."
"Like what?" Alycia asked.
"You see, I know that you're the little sister of that witch of Sinbad's. I'm going to use you as bait, to lure her here and then I'll kill her."
"No!"
"With the little witch out of the way, there will be no one to protect Sinbad from me. Once she is gone I'll be able to kill them all."
The crew walked slightly down the darkened hallway of the castle. The only illumination coming from erratically placed torches. They eventually came to a cage in the wall where Alycia was being held.
"Alycia, are you all right?" Bryn asked.
"Yeah. But you need to get out of here. Rumina knows you're here. She's using me as bait so that she can kill you." she rushed out.
"We're not leaving without you. Stand back and I'll get you out." Her eyes grew yellow and soon the lock on the gate turned red. A loud click was heard as the door came unlocked.
"Come on, hurry up." Sinbad said. After getting Alycia, they started to head back out.
"Wait, what about Rumina? We can't leave without stopping her." Doubar said.
"We can't Doubar, it's too risky." Sinbad reasoned.
"That never stopped you before."
"Well Doubar it looks like you might get your chance." Firouz interrupted. "Look." he pointed down the corridor as masked men came running down the hallway. Rongar, Sinbad and Doubar fought the men as Firouz, Bryn and Alycia tried to make their way out of the castle. They made it to the opening at the end of the corridor when Rumina appeared.

"Leaving the party so soon?" Rumina asked. Bryn motioned for Firouz and Alycia to stay out of the way. "Let's see how good you really are, little witch." Bryn's eyes began to glow as Rumina created a magic sphere on her hand. The two witches magic clashed in a glowing green light. They broke off at the same time to regain some of their strength, as the magic clashed again Bryn's bracelet began to glow. Slowly, Bryn's powers grew stronger and she sent a shock through her magic that was powerful enough to throw Ruminea back against the wall. Bryn looked like she was about ready to drop, Firouz and Alycia ran over to her to help her out of the castle. As they were walking out, Rumina appeared again.
"You'll have to do better than that if you want to beat me. Enough of these pesky little games, it's time for you to die. Suddenly in Rumina's hand there appeared a bright yellow sphere. "Good-bye little witch." She threw the magic sphere at Bryn. Alycia shoved Bryn and Firouz out of the way as she was hit by it.
"No!" Bryn screamed as Alycia fell to the ground. She ran over to her, but she was not moving. As Firouz knelt down next to Alycia to examine her, a bright white light appeared from the sky and illuminated Bryn.
"Burn in Hell." Was all she said before fires encircled Rumina. Try as she might Rumina's powers were no match for the power of the fires. She screamed as the flames engulfed her more and more. Sinbad and the others appeared as Bryn knelt down next to Alycia's body.
"I'm sorry, there was nothing I could do." Firouz said. The castle began to crumble and Rumina grew weaker and weaker. Sinbad ran over to Bryn and Firouz.
"We need to go. Now." He grabbed Alycia's body and ran out of the castle with the others before it crumbled to the ground.
Sisters -Part 5
When they returned to town, Firouz examined Bryn. Finding nothing wrong with her, except that she was extremely weak, he ordered her to bed. She slept for two days. On the third day, Sinbad came to check on her. Finding that she was not there, he went in search of her. He found her kneeling beside her sister's grave.
"I'm sorry that you missed the service." He said, kneeling beside Bryn.
"I'm sure it was lovely, but I perfer it this way. I'm able to say good-bye to her privately." Bryn ran her hand over the freshly turned soil. "She didn't deserve to die like this. She was so young.....it's not fair." Bryn started to cry. Sinbad hugged her as she cried.
"I know."
A while later, after Bryn had finished crying, the two of them sat, in silence, next to Alycia's grave.
"It's time to say good-bye." Bryn finally said. She reached down next to her, to grab the flowers she had piked earlier. Placing them on the fresh soil, she whispered.
"Good-bye my sister. I love you."
Sinbad reached for Bryn's hand, helping her to stand. He continued to hold it as they looked at Alycia's grave one last time. Finally, Bryn turned to him.
"Thank you, for everything. I don't think I could have done this without you."
