Read and review please, this is my first fanfic, hope you enjoy.
Restlessly, I began to wake up from my awful night's sleep. I could feel the sun beaming heavy on my face. Riff wasn't there to comfort me last night, I was so tired from work and I just wanted to be close to him and feel comforted. I ached, my eyes did not want to lift, and then I heard frank call to my brother. Riffs footsteps were ever so quick, when I heard them slow just outside my door, he peered his head around the door and whispered softly, "Sister, meet me here after dinner," and then he slipped out, going to franks beckoning call. I stood there and wondered where he has been all night and what was going to happen after dinner. Thoughts pounding through my mind, my head aching, but I had to get on with my work as Frank was arranging a party soon and I wanted to keep up with my workload.
Beginning to crawl out of bed, my body longing for a peaceful sleep, I forced myself up and looked into the mirror. Starting my makeup and hair for the day not that I wanted to. My once long fiery ringlet hair has become a tangled mess, but Riff seemed to like it so it hadn't bothered me until I focus on it. Why does he even like me, I'm a mess.
Columbia was still asleep, curled up in a ball in her bed, oh how she had it so easy, not having to do housework. Sometimes I envied her, although she was a very good friend and nice to have around for some fun.
On my way to the kitchen, I saw some bloodied fingerprints on the wall and floor. I felt my heart begin to pace as I thought about what could be at the end of the trail. I followed them a few doors down to find my poor brother trying to clean his wound. Cautiously I asked, "From the whip I guess," trying not to let riff see my eyes begin to fill with tears, I bent down to help him. Why didn't he come to me, I usually help him with this. Was he hiding something from me? Without making eye contact, Riff nodded in reply, it had been Franks doing. I didn't question him further, sometimes Frank does give him a tough time, but he just gets easily frustrated. Not his fault.
As I bandaged up my brothers wound on his arm, I felt him shudder. I stopped quickly wondering why he was acting so suspicious. Suddenly I couldn't control my words and it all came out at once '"You are acting so strange today riff, you didn't ask for me help this morning as you usually do when you are hurt, you didn't tell me why you wanted to see me after dinner, and you didn't come to me last night as usual. Have I done something?" I heard my voice quiver slightly and I couldn't hold my tears of anger and sadness in any longer, they ran down my face. He caught them and looked at me directly with my bright blue eyes, attempting to comfort me. Even though I was annoyed at him, it did begin to work as I leant forward and laid my head in the crook of his warm neck. He whispered into my ear "I'm so sorry magenta, I didn't realise I was making you anxious, you looked so tired last night, I thought I'd sleep in my own room so I didn't disturb you, and I'm planning something that's why I wanted to see you later, and when I peered in on your this morning you seemed so tired and fragile that I thought I'd try to clean my own cut as you have so much to do". I felt myself smile slightly as his arms wrapped tighter around me. He was always so caring and always wanted to put me first. I looked up at him, "riff what is it you are planning, or will you leave me in suspense all day" even though I was still snug in his embrace, I glared at him trying to make him give me the answers. "All day my dear sister as I want it to be later when I have thought it over. I want it to be almost perfect, it's a good thing sister, please do not worry, I'd hate to be another worry of your shoulders. I promise I will make up it up to you for annoying you", and with that he kissed me softly and left to go back to lab.
Taking my duster, I walked out back into the dreary hallway, waiting in anticipation for what was happening later.
