On the Brink
Prologue
A man wearing a purple, frilly, dress shirt stands in the rain while a dirty blonde woman wearing a grey shirt paired with a black pencil skirt with a white lab coat on over it as her black high heels tap impatiently. The man walks past her and puts his headphones in seemingly unphased at the drop of an old worn leather bound book falling out of his pocket.
"Excuse me Sir, you dropped this." The woman said grabing his arm. The man smiles and shoves her off. He motions to the book making her look at it. When the woman looks up, she does not see the man, rather she stands alone in the rain as passerbyes look at her weirdly as she stands there, hand outstretched.
She sighes and tucks her arms around the book as she waits for the bus. Her phone rings and she pulls it out of her pocket. "Julia, where are you?" David's voice asks on the other end. She sighes. "Did you get your present yet?" He asks impatiently as she sighs once again.
"No, I haven't. Is Saya awake yet?" She shuffles on her feet, waiting for the answer. She had returned in an odd dress a look of sadness on her face as she walked back to the appartment. Kai, her adoptive older brother, had tried to snap her out of it. She stayed shut up and quiet.
"No, she's been sleeping a lot lately. It's close to her hibernation, and I don't want to push the kid too hard, but we don't have any other choice." He replied as Julia can hear the rustle of clothing on the other end of the phone. "I have to keep an eye on her Jules, I don't want to be left out of the group. I need to know what happened to her after Solomon took her." The call ended and Julia looked up to the sky.
IN THE APARTMENT
Saya quietly slipped out of the room and into the bathroom. She closed the door with a soft 'click' and locked it. She turned around, slid to the floor, and put her head on her knees. What's a matter sister, seeing things...or hearing things...hehehehe... Saya's head snapped up and seen the room empty. She stood and turned on the hot water, hoping the voices were just her imagination.
She stepped into the shower, after quickly undressing, and let the water soak her hair. Oh, it wasn't your imagination big sis, you can hear me as you did when we were at the Zoo. Saya's head shot up and her eyes grew wide. I know, it's pretty awesome isn't it? She giggled.
How, we haven't been able to do that since... after bloody Sunday... Saya thought back. Giggles resounded in her head once again, growing in sound until Saya had to clutch her head in pain. Why are you doing this Diva? Saya asked and stood striaght as she let the tears fall.
Because big sister has a surprise for my little daughters... cousins...a gift from Solomon, and her want for blood when she needed it. Solomon couldn't give it to her, her natural insticts came into play.Saya felt as if she had just been shocked and gently fell to the ceramic bottom of the tub. Let's meet, just us two, I'll go to one of those pathetic places where they sell those sweets. Saya pondered for a moment and then nodded.
I don't see why not. Make sure we have a booth away from all of the other customers, please Diva.
Alright, I don't see why I can't do that as we aren't going to be eating sweets. Be there at nine o'clock tonight. I don't like the sunlight, and I know you won't be able to stand it either. Bye big sis! With that the voice cut off and Saya showered in a daze.
