Synopsis: Blaise loves her cousin. But she doesn't understand her. A drabble written for LJS100. Challenge #42: Crayola Colors.
--------------------
She and Blaise had been twelve. She had found the bird hobbling around outside the middle school, and she had taken it home. It had been the most beautiful color, a vibrant, eye-shocking yellow.
Thea stared at the scattering of bright feathers on the bedroom floor, and felt her lower lip tremble. "How could you, Blaise?"
Blaise's pretty fact was petulant "I needed it for a spell. It was just a stupid canary." She rested a hand on her hip and shook her hair back, silently daring her cousin to argue. "I don't know why you're getting so worked up about it."
It had been the first time that Thea had realized that Blaise, who was closer to her than a sister, really didn't understand.
And Thea couldn't explain it to her.
