Okay, here was the very first SB fanfic that I ever wrote. Actually the very first fanfic that I ever wrote. So enjoy :-)
Sisters -Part 1
Sinbad walked up to the main deck of the Nomad and saw Bryn standing near the front of the
ship. She had been very quiet the past few days, he missed the casual banter they exchanged while
he was at the tiller. He walked over to her and touched her shoulder.
"Bryn," he asked softly. "What's wrong?"
"I'm not sure."
"What do you mean?"
"I feel....empty."
Sinbad was not quite sure what to say. They had been at sea for almost two weeks, maybe it was
time for them to take a break.
"There's a port near here, I believe it's called Zienople, we can stop there. Maybe you'll find what you're missing there."
"Maybe."
The Nomad arrived in port a few days later. Doubar, Rongar and Firouz went in search of a
tavern. Sinbad went with Bryn, who decided to look around the town.
"I've been here before." Bryn said suddenly.
"How do you know?"
"I just do."
Before Sinbad could say anything else, a young woman ran up to them.
"Bryn?" She asked as she stopped suddenly in front of Bryn.
"Yes. How do you know my name?"
"I'm Alycia, your sister."
Bryn felt as if she had the wind knocked out of her. "Sister." She stared at Alycia a moment
longer. "I'm sorry, but I don't remember you."
"It's a long story." Sinbad intervened. "Maybe we should go somewhere and talk."
"We can go to my house, it's just over the ridge." She turned to lead the way. Bryn and
Sinbad lagged behind a little.
"Sinbad, you don't have to stay. I think that I would like to talk with Alycia alone."
"Are you sure? I know that this has been a big shock for you. I would really rather not leave
you alone." He said as he looked at her.
"I'll be fine." She assured him with a small smile.
"Okay." He gave in. "But I'll be close by if you need anything." He squeezed her hand and
smiled at her before he left.
Sinbad went to find Doubar and the others while Bryn talked with her sister. After he filled
them in on the news, he left. When he got back to Alycia's house, she was still talking with Bryn.
He did not want to interrupt them, so he paced around outside thinking. He thought about how
much the two of them resembled each other. They both had dark brown hair, but Alycia wore hers
longer than Bryn's. Alycia had lighter eyes than Bryn, though. They both seemed to exhibit the
same air of strength, too. At that moment Alycia came out.
"Bryn is inside looking at some things from mom and dad."
"How is she?" He asked with some concern evident in his voice.
"I"m not sure, she not a very easy person to read. Why don't you go on inside, I think she
could use some support."
When he walked in Bryn was standing next to a table by the window, holding a little dolphin
figurine in her hand.
"These belonged to my parents." She stated as he walked up next to her. "They died when I
was fourteen. I thought that by looking at these things and being around them I could remember
them. But I can't." She put the dolphin down. "I want to remember, but I can't"
"Bryn." Sinbad said turning her to face him.
"When I left, Alycia was here by herself. I left her."
"Bryn." He said again. "You didn't do anything wrong. You couldn't help what happened.
Besides, you're here now. That's what matters."
"You're right."
"I know that this has been hard on you, but remember you're not alone. I'm always going to be
here for you."
"Along with Doubar, Rongar and Firouz." Bryn smiled.
"Right." He answered as he hugged her.
End of Part 1
