Thread: Therapy of the Mind (Closed for Crystalia)

Kari wasnt sure what she expected but she was a bit surprised to see that her brother was blushing, she was thinking about saying something about it but recalled something their mother once said so decided not to. Her mom told her that some things men didnt like being brought to attention. Still, she was smiling at him when he glanced up at her and she let out a surprised squeak when he suddenly drew her face close to his and had her wrists wrapped together. It was Karis turn to blush when her brother apparently joked about making her his wife, she smiled though, despite the fact that one could say there had been a look of disappointment on her face when her brother had kissed her cheeks when it had seemed he was about to kiss her lips. Of course, for Kari she didnt know what she was thinking or feeling at the moment, there was still a small tingle where her older brothers fingers had been on her thighs. Still, she laughed at the comment with the lewd aspect added in and watched him wrap her second wrist. However, she shook her head with a look of horror when he started talking about boys, Why on earth would I let any of those boys near me? I know the kind of man I want already and I certainly wont find him around my age. She squeezed her brothers hand back when he was done and grinned, Of course, Im ready to kick some ass. She shifted, getting up from the bed and testing her range of motion with the bindings before she embraced her brother one more time, Youre already a great example, Charlie. She released him and turned toward the door of her room, glancing back over her shoulder with a wink before she ran down the stairs. When she arrived at the playing field with her family, Kari made her way directly into the locker room where she changed into her uniform. Her lacrosse outfit had pads, helmets and all that protection that normally was there but she always felt like she had extra because of her brother helping her. As was her ritual once she was all geared up and ready for the game, her helmet on, she would join her team, both boys and girls, on the benches while the coach made the decisions but before she would sit, she would look for Charlie and give a slight salute with her stick before looking and waving with her free hand toward her parents. When the game started, she was focused, nothing outside the game every caught her attention because she wouldnt let herself be distracted. Over the course of the game, she took lumps and bruises, most along her arms, ribs and upper back as her opponents attempted to force her to drop the ball when she had it cradled. After half-time the score was almost tied, with her team ahead by only three points. As a midfielder, Kari was always extremely busy. By last quarter, Kari had sat out a few times to get her wind but was back in the game with the clock counting down, they were already ahead by six points but some of the team had been betting they would get a ten point lead by the time the game was called. There was a ground ball and Kari saw it, running toward it, scooping it up and shouting, Release, letting her team know that she couldnt do anything against her opposition. After one face dodge and running with a slight spin around another of her opponents, Kari caught sight of a team mate that was close enough to the goal for a feed pass and just as she managed to position her stick for an overhand throw, let loose and see the ball start to go before finding herself slammed toward the ground with great force. Two of the defenders that had attempted to stop her had run into her, she did a partial flip with the force hitting her head hard enough that in the helmet she felt pain slash through her head. Winded, she lay there, trying to catch her breath, her eyes closed and even without them open she felt her stomach flipping. Sounds became muted around her, she had no idea how long she was laying there before she opened her eyes, her sight blurred and saw one of her teammates standing over her with a hand out. Reaching out for Rickys hand, she let him help her to her feet but instantly swayed. I dont She started and then blackness engulfed her vision and she had the feeling of falling.
