Scissors, Rocky's older sister, had always been perceptive, noticing the subtle changes in those around her. She saw the hurt in Paige's eyes, the quiet desperation that had turned to cold calculation. Scissors knew that Paige was plotting against Rocky, but whenever she tried to warn her brother, he dismissed her concerns.
"Paige is harmless," Rocky would say. "She's just a piece of paper."
But Scissors knew better. She remembered the way Paige's edges used to flutter when Rocky was near, the way her corners would curl up in excitement. She saw how Paige's once-vibrant colors had dulled, replaced by a steely determination. Scissors knew that Paige had been transformed by heartbreak and betrayal.
One day, Scissors decided to take matters into her own hands. She knew that Paige's weakness was her tendency to get caught in the wind, so she began to subtly manipulate the breeze, creating small gusts that would disrupt Paige's plans. She also whispered rumors to the other forest creatures, making sure they kept a watchful eye on Paige.
Paige, unaware of Scissors' interference, grew frustrated as her schemes were foiled time and time again. She couldn't understand why her usually reliable wind accomplices were failing her. Meanwhile, Scissors watched from the shadows, her sharp blades at the ready.
One fateful night, Paige made her move, sneaking up on Rocky as he rested in the clearing. But Scissors was prepared. With lightning speed, she snipped the thread that held Paige together, rendering her useless. As Paige fluttered to the ground, Scissors pinned her down, her blades glinting in the moonlight.
"You should have listened to me, Rocky," Scissors said, her voice low and even. "Paige was never the harmless piece of paper you thought she was. But I won't let her harm you. Family protects family."
Rocky, finally understanding the truth, thanked his sister for her protection. Paige, her plans foiled and her heart still broken, blew away, a reminder of the dangers of underestimating those who seem weak. Scissors and Rocky continued to watch over the forest, a sibling duo feared and respected by all.
